Guild Wars 2

Temporary content = permanent disappointment.

So as not to repeat myself:
Please Bring Back-Fractured Achievements!

OP represents my point of view perfectly, however for me, this is the last poor design decision that I am willing to tolerate. I invested a ridiculous amount of time and effort so I could say that I had 100% of all temp achievements (working on 100% PvE). To have that taken away (after trying for hours and hours to get the one fractal I needed) is not acceptable. Since the patch I have signed in once a day to see if Fractured! has been put back in, but otherwise I am done with GW2. I would probably be less upset if the many threads on this topic in the Fractured! forum had not been completely ignored.

If they were going to bring them back they would have done it by now. This marks the end of my very long GW1/2 career. BB ANet! HF & GL!

Treeline that image you posted is glorious ^^. Clearly you have the same achievement OCD that I do.

I’m in exactly the same situation as the OP.

Many people missed out on the Fractured living story achievements because of very strange RNG. Personally I did at over 30 full fractal runs and did not encounter the Volcanic fractal which like most others is supposed to have a 1 in 5 chance of appearing. The chance of not getting a certain fractal for 30 runs in a row is (4/5)^30 = 0.01. Maybe all the players below are in the 1% like me, but either way, 2 weeks was not enough time for all players to complete this achievement even with significant time and effort spent. And so I ask:

Please bring back the Fractured achievements for at least another week!

RNG on achievement pts
Achievement points and luck
Fractured! achievements gone too soon
SUGGESTION: Return Fractured!
Fractured Living Story achievement
Fractal Fortnight – 2 or 4 weeks?
Volcanic?
Paying 5g for molten boss fractal
Fractured Achivements
Is Meta going away on Tuesday?
No Volcanic or Ascalon since the update
from when to when LS
Dredge every run
Looking for Aetherblade Fractal [EU]
How long do meta achievements last?

PS: This is the first achievement category in the game that I have missed (including a full HoM, GWAMM, maxing out all repeatable living story achies, and doing all of season 1 WvW). I was unable to complete it because of RNG, and if this isn’t resolved I will no longer have a “perfect” account and will quit this game.

I tried another 6 runs last night (on top of the many I have done all week – between 1 and 3 a day) to try and get Volcanic, but in the end was defeated by RNG. Just home from work and the achies are gone so I have missed my first living world achievement since the game released. Very upset with this.

I have poured a lot of time into trying to finish these achievements – many many runs over the 2 weeks and still missing Volcanic and Snowblind.

I have every achievement in the History tab so far, and keeping a perfect record is my main goal in the game. Missing one would be enough for me to stop playing, so here is hoping they extend these to 4 weeks.

I never know how long we have to finish living world achievements before they are removed from the game. E.g. the Fractured release notes don’t say how long we have to complete the meta. For those of us who haven’t missed any temporary achievements and want to keep a perfect record this is important information!

Today our party received the “3 hours remaining until update” message while half way through our fractal. 2 minutes later we were all booted from the game and lost our progress. This was at around 8:30pm on Desolation. I assume this is a bug, since we were told we had 3 hours to finish the instance.

This question has been asked quite a few times already e.g. here.

“Lob the keg. Less accurate but longer range and hard to intercept”

To clarify, this is working as intended. To replicate the “exploit” pick up a keg, aim your camera in the direction you want to throw it, and press 2. You can throw as far as you like however it is very hard to aim and requires a great deal of skill to score from range. Punch, charge and stomp all interrupt the cast. Because it is not immediately obvious how to use the skill, newer players will often assume there is some cheating going on.

Lob used to have a ground target, but this was removed deliberately to allow for longer throwing. When you get a keg from the guy outside you can see it still uses the old version. Just because the mechanics of this skill are different from others in the game does not mean it is broken, and if you don’t like the way it works, then post in the feedback/suggestions forum.

As for the image you posted, it is regarding an exploit that can be used to shorten the cast time of lob? I have never seen this exploit (and I have played a LOT of keg brawl), and you certainly didn’t mention anything about cast times in your initial post or explain how to reproduce the issue. Please elaborate if there is an actual bug, and you aren’t just complaining about the range of the skill as it is intended.

Firstly please search the forum before posting, lots of new players are confused about this skill. Secondly it has not been this way since launch, and is working as intended. Keg brawl is a game that requires skill and tactics and is not just about standing in a big pile on the keg. Treat it like American football. There are plenty of ways to counter the long lob. As someone with Kegmaster and in a keg brawl guild I can assure that there is nothing wrong with it. When you don’t know how to play, please don’t assume it is a bug.

Found this thread searching for this issue on Google. Definitely present in the game at the moment. Just had my endure pain inherit a cooldown before running past some trash in SE, causing me to die.

Totally unacceptable. Completed all achievements for seasonal events and living story and I miss this one because of misinformation from Anet.

If you spent ten hours farming CoF, you would have enough gold to buy many many lodestones. Trying to get drops is a waste of time imo.

Today I was doing a lvl 30 fractal, and for no. 3 we got cliffside. At the part with 2 seals, we left one chanter alive on the left side and took down the seals as normal. After the seals were both destroyed and all enemies were dead, the gate to the boss did not open. We did a mass suicide to try to fix it, but when we respawned, the seals both came back at full health. Whats worse is that there were no longer any enemies to charge the hammer with so we were forced to abandon the fractal. Wasted a good portion of my morning, so quite annoyed atm.

Same here. Me and 3 friends got booted just after finishing CoE and have not been able to connect since.

This is not a bug, and is a very important skill in Keg Brawl. Just like a normal throw it can still be intercepted.

I can confirm that this is also a problem for norn. The shoulders are massive – looks kind of hilarious.

The Feb update fixed Pumpkin Carver and polished the achievement UI, but sadly this is still broken. If the other achievement bugs were fixed, why not this one? Anet, are you even aware of this bug?

This happens to me exactly as you have described. It does not happen very often and I could not say how to replicate it.

I have finally completed all the kegbrawl achievements and unfortunately did not get Kegmaster (see screenshot). The 4 points I do have towards the title are for the achievements I completed after the Wintersday fix. Could a dev please comment as to if/when this will be resolved? I would really like to be able to display the title I have spent so long working for.

Kegmaster has not been fixed 100%, there is still a bug if you had any of the achievements completed before the Wintersday patch, making it unobtainable. See https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Kegmaster-still-bugged-after-Wintersday-fix/first#post1059223

Having tried this out, I find that the amount of money you spend on mithril, snowflakes and salvage kits means that you pretty much break even. Unlike you I seem to “break” the snowflake often.

Keg Brawl achievements completed prior to the Wintersday patch did not count towards the Kegmaster achievement. This was changed with the patch, so that “mastering” scores, intercepts, recoveries etc correctly added points towards the title. It did not however add points for Keg Brawl achievements already completed. This means that the Kegmaster title is completely unobtainable for anyone who completed a Keg Brawl achievement before December 14th. Because there are very few people that have the patience to actually complete Kegmaster, this issue is being ignored.

It would be really good if someone could give us an update on what is happening with keg brawl. The achievements have been bugged for ages. The team colours are also bugged now (my armour does not change to red or blue when I play).

As far as I can tell, all keg brawl achievements are now broken. None of them are updating for me and others I have played with. https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/All-Keg-Brawl-Achievements-Frozen/first#post803685

All of the achievements for scoring kegs, assists, recoveries e.t.c are stuck and will not go up any more. I have asked others, and it seems that it is not just me who has this problem. This is very upsetting as I have spent hours and hours working on them lately without noticing that I was wasting my time. This is in addition to the Keg Master Bug

I discovered this bug while playing keg brawl. It is so frustrating when you try to pick up the keg and end up running past it in a straight line, the character becoming completely unresponsive to any keyboard/mouse input. I don’t think you have to have auto run on, as I am sure this happens if I am running normally and hit F. Really bad bug imo, It’s hard to believe it made it into release.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Auto-running-and-pressing-F-to-pick-up-a-banner

YES this happens to me all the time, it is so annoying!!! It makes keg brawl a nightmare. My character just continues in a straight line and wont respond at all to changing the camera angle or pressing keys.

This bug causes characters to become completely unresponsive to user input and run in a straight line for a short interval after attempting to pick up an item while running. It happens in both PvP and PvE and can be extremely frustrating. Since character control is such a fundamental in any game, I find it surprising that this has not been addressed. Perhaps an ANet employee could comment, as I am sure the vast majority of players have experienced this bug at some point, and it has been in the game since release.
