Since the April 1st patch, I can’t use the jump pads during the Tequatl event anymore. A message pops up telling me I need Gliding Mastery but I don’t have HoT so that’s not an option.
This wasn’t a problem before the patch dropped today.
Running a 4K monitor on Windows 7 SP1. With the 32bit client I can use Properties/Compatibility/Disable display scaling on high DPI settings to make the interface display correctly but this option is greyed out on the 64bit client.
A workaround is to put this entry in the registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers
New String
Key=C:\GuildWars2\Gw2-64.exe <— use path to exe on your system
Value=HIGHDPIAWARE
Same thing happened to me tonight in LA after the patch. I have never seen this message before. Checked my account security and it shows only connections from my IP. My password is unique and not used anywhere else, I guard it carefully. Switched to google authenticator just to be safe.

I Might Be Wrong, but you sound like you have Everything In Its Right Place.
As for all the whiners I wish they would just learn How To Disappear Completely.
And remember, Anyone Can Play Guitar, but not everyone can play the marriner’s horn.
I haven’t posted much on this forum, but this kind of thing makes me want to stop playing this game. Not the issue with the patch; honestly, I could care less about accidentally resetting an achievement with some arbitrary reward. What makes me want to stop playing is the whiney, entitled responses from selfish players who clearly can’t appreciate the intense amount of time and effort required to create such a huge, polished game. You should all be ashamed of yourselves.
Actually, in a business relationship (which this is) a customer is, in fact, entitled to a product he or she feels is up to his or her standards. Anet isn’t doing this out of the goodness of their hearts; they’re doing it to make money. Hence the customer feedback.
I don’t agree with all the vitriol, but it’s laughable that you can stand there and wag your finger at people for daring to express that they are displeased with a product they paid money for.
Lol. In a business relationship money is exchanged for goods and services. You paid $0 for this new content and that is all the refund you are entitled to.
It’s not like the monthly got reset on the 28th day of the month, for god’s sake. It’s only 3 days. Get some perspective.
The best bet for getting event completion is going to be taking down the Clockwork champions. They are directly tied to event completion.
Not sure about this. I definitely attacked at least two Clockwork Champions at the last event in Lornar’s Pass. I got the end reward but didn’t get credit for the achievement. I’ve done that area twice now and it’s the last one I need.
EDIT:
Did Lornar’s Pass again at 01:00 gmt. Third time now.
Killed only clockwork creatures including 4 champions. Still no achievement and this is the last area on my list.
I’m giving up on this until it is fixed. If it was a set rotation I would try again, but with the random rotation it’s just too time consuming. To be honest, I’m getting quite tired of these grindy achievements.
Still can’t see a pattern. Just finished doing Iron Marches and Lornar’s Pass while guesting on Vabbi. Got achievement for IM, but not for LP.
In both cases, I arrived during the first wave and participated in the combat, and both events failed as people were more interested in farming. No disconnects, char changes, etc.
Currently 12/13 and still needing Lornar’s Pass to complete the achievment.
I failed to get credit for Lornar’s Pass and Iron Marches despite being there from start to finish, not being on overflow, not disconnecting, not swapping char (I do all the content on my main) and actively participating in the fights and killing Scarlet.
Stuck at 11/13 and need those two zones for the achievement.
Conversely, I did get credit for Sparkfly Fen despite arriving late and having to guest on another server because my home instance and overflows were full.
Just happened again at Lornar’s Pass 23:00 gmt event. Was there from start to finish, not on overflow, never done this area before and still didn’t get credit for the achievement.
Last night there were commanders begging people to turn off the titles. Why offer low-res models and then impose a wall of text on everybody. It makes no sense.
As a minimum, you should provide details of your computer spec – PC or Mac, CPU, GPU, driver version. Also report the exact location in the game where it is happening, so others can confirm it. Use a screenshot.
