Guild Wars 2

when is it i’m searching forums and google – can’t find anything except dungeon is over maybe july 9th, and the aether JP is permanent

how long before we can’t get any achievements such as cache / complete 12 for the mini dude

also the AR dungeon is super challenging which is great, but at the same time getting mai trin down to 25% is a monumental task in itself seeing as how 4/5 of your group is typically dead after cannon fire and you will have replaced multiple members after fails… no way i will get a win on this by july 9……..give us more time, give us easy/fun stuff, or else continue to lose player base on the regular. friends who got me into this game have already quit for this exact reason…

mine won’t count either, stuck on 94/300 crab carries and 16/100 crab grabs. The other crab-toss related achievements are probably bugged too

This is the same as me saying “I missed the Mad King event and X-mas too, can I go back and get the achievements?”

Similar but not exactly, I never actually said anything about going back and getting the achievements. There are many solutions to this though. Other MMO do not have achievements tied to the seasonal events or limited time-frame content, and it is because they understand that it just doesn’t make sense to have achievements for events that are not accessible ever again…or at best maybe in a year from now.

My suggestion would be to remove altogether the achievements tied to the seasonal and/or ‘Ever-Changing’ (but so slowly we lose interest entirely and completely forget there is a deadline) Living Story.

Best way to do this in my opinion is implementing something similar to guild wars 1 books/EOTN pool. Allowing our characters to relive past events.

So from what I’ve seen from many other posts and in both these replies is that there are a lot of people who DO want to go back and be able to accomplish past achievements as the other reply gives a goods. So that would be a solid solution as well.

Another very simple solution would be to just do a better job with in-game reminders on the deadlines approaching because I know I for one do not pencil anything to do with video games into my calender of list of things I need to do.

There are many solutions, but the fact is that there are many posts on this forum about this subject, and it just makes it plain to see it is a problem which needs to be addressed.

Sorry but the reason these events are a limited time is because they’re part of an EVER CHANGING Living Story.

This just translates to ‘deal with it’ which pretty much acknowledges that this is a problem and does not change the fact that there are now achievements in the list that are impossible to accomplish.

So what is wrong with being able to go back and re-play past content and events when a player feels like it? Maybe just remove the reward factor if you do not complete it by the original date or something. Could sit around and think of many solutions to this, but you would think ANet would take the hint already?

Can’t complete achievements for events that no longer exist…. this needs to be fixed.

bump. ANet needs to address this now. It took me days to download this game. I also made the mistake of buying this 2 days before the black friday sale so i did not get the free digital “Deluxe” edition either – but as I am still sitting here waiting on download I am incredibly pissed off. Thanks a lot!!!!!!

I test an average of about 1.5 to 1.6 Mbps download speed on speedtester – but this client will only download in the range of 0 to 150 kbps. If I leave the computer for more than 5 minutes the download stops completely. What the hell?
