Guild Wars 2

This achievement is the only thing stopping me from saying that the precursor crafting was near perfect, the whole experience of building the parts of the precursor and learning how to perfect it was amazing, but this one achievement lets it down, it is pure RNG blinds effect the shatterer for whatever reason, and thus most of the attacks miss, on top of this the attack only targets 5 people (pets/clones included) so the chances of getting this achievement is pure RNG and very slim at best, this isn’t helped by the 3 hour CD of the boss.

Even if you want it to be longer than just the rest I would much rather have to kill multiple of the world bosses to harvest something than just wait 3 hours for each shatterer and just hope it happens. As you can see from the achievements (attached screenshot) that I have done everything but this one. I am attempting it every 3 hours, not going to lie I want to start working on the third recipe but I am stuck just waiting on that RNG to strike me.

TL:DR: The precursor journey thus far is AMAZING I can’t lie, it’s what I hoped it to be and slightly more, but this one RNG achievement is unneeded and ruins the whole journey and either should be replaced with something without RNG but still semi time consuming (30mins-1 hour seems fair).

Thanks for reading and I hope this didn’t come across hostile, just expressing my two cents. ^^

Edit: With all these blinds I don’t even see others get crystaled, maybe increasing the amount of people that got crystaled and make shatterer immune to blinds would work also.

I’ve slowly been recording my own data, it’s no where near a stage which it could be relied upon, but the drop rates I’m getting are shocking, they are really bad. But RNG is RNG and two of the people I run fractals with nearly always get at least 1 ascended piece every 5 -6 runs.

But I agree, if fractal weapons are going to stay that bad ATLEAST let us choose which one we get when we get them in say the fractal weapon box we were promised.

Me and a party were doing a casual 29 fractal for the daily karma, and we went Swamp (Bloomhunger) —> Molten facility, and after completing the Molten Facility we all readied up to be greeted with this error message “InstanceCreate failed. Error=42; Product=5; Module=18; Line=1675” We didn’t go to the next fractal and got stuck in molten facility. We decided that everyone but the host (me) should leave and rejoin, this didn’t work, so we all wiped, which didn’t work either, so we got stuck and had to leave the fractal, we tried returning to lab which of course didn’t work.

Just saying this is quite a game breaking glitch, and I hope it gets fixed, this also happened to my friend at the start of a CoE run, which is not quite as game breaking but still bad that it is even happening at all.

I have put a screenshot of the error message below. ^^

Awesome! Thank you for getting rid of the bug just got the last achievements I needed.

This puzzle isn’t really that hard or punishing compaired to the WvW puzzle. There are no “hard” jumps just a lot of room for silly mistakes. It was a fun and not to hard puzzle.

If you want to find a harder and more unforgiving one then obsidian sanctum is sitting right there in eternal battlegrounds for you. You find a group of enemies you’ll have to redo the entire thing.

I want more amazing puzzles LIKE obsidian sanctum just not in WvW or PvP. :P

AeroJavi.1687:

A bug is a feature that is not working as intended. The POI is not to be accessible until they release the content. This is by design. Hence, there is no bug.

Then it is bad design to but in the POI before the content is released as it stops people getting 100% world completion and the POI has already been out for 5 days, the same thing happened with Divinities reach with The Dead End.

My friend has world comp except this one poi, he hasn’t gotten his gifts yet either.
I am also going for world comp but at first I delayed it as I thought we’d never get Stonemist (we’re bad at WvW) but I managed to get that yesterday on reset somehow. Now this is making me not want to finish it up, I probably will as I know it won’t be as much of a wait as getting stonemist but still :P

Ok we managed to push up and grab the keep, after that when we got into the jumping puzzle I quickly invited someone from both servers Blacktide and Gunnar’s Hold to my party and we quickly developed a peace treaty between the servers and if someone decided that wasn’t for them they had two server against them, a tonne of people managed to get the cache before blacktide finally broke the treaty and got demolished Then whiteside and Gunnar’s hold kept the treaty but blacktide broke it. (this was only for jumping puzzle not WvW)

Just happened to me, and we followed the anets advice of beating her to the mobs. This is soo annoying considering dragon bash glitched for me so I cannot get 3 achievements, now I cannot even complete the dungeon…

The update takes 30 seconds to 2 minutes max, if you cannot spare waiting 2 minutes per week for FREE content WOW.

My server SUCKS at WvW so I already threw getting world completion out of the window (got everything in WvW bar stonemist), and now we are against Gunnar’s Hold we cannot even get to the jumping puzzle. Well we did have our keep for about 5 minutes earlier but they are camping the puzzle.

(they also went out of their way to stop ONE person from getting a vista) PvE stuff in my opinion should NOT be in WvW as if your server sucks at WvW you either are screwed and have to solo or duo a whole server or you have to pay to transfer servers TWICE (if you like your current server which I do the PvE scene is amazing and the people are also amazing).

Yup still not fixed.

Ok it is working now.

I was JUST on I decided to switch characters and bam can’t log back in.

DESTROY Kit, obtain new one. Instance should restart.

I don’t have a kit to destroy.

Mine wasn’t working WITH the kit, so I destroyed the kit now I am stuck without a kit and I cannot re-enter.

It is nice to know that I am not the only one but it is still annoying that we miss out on rewards and we put in more than enough time I spent 2 hours trying to figure out where I went wrong, that is longer than everyone who has actually managed to do it.

1) No
2) I recieved a Tassi Box after the event but I didn’t get a Quest update or the mail my friends have got. People said they fixed this by deleting it and regetting it but I cannot re-enter the instance.
3) Yes it did.
4) Yes.
5) I honesty thought so but got NO reward or mail (my mail is not full either) but I did get a tassi box.
6) I couldn’t re-enter the instance and I couldn’t move on to the next part, I destroyed my tassi box as instructed and still could not get back in.

I’ve opened 800-1000 coffers and got 3 tickets and 13 holo knights, me and my friends and guildies are surprised so many people are SO unlucky. None of us have opened over 1000 coffers and we all have at least 1 ticket and most of us have 2 or 3 (one lucky guy has 6). One of my friends doesn’t have a ticket but so far he is on like 250 coffers so it isn’t that bad.

All of these were farmed after making a new character and leveling it (you get LOADS of coffers) or farmed on the first few days on the holos when they were silly easy to kill.

Well I feel sorry for the people who have opened so many and not got it and I wish you luck.

If it makes it any better I spent 21.5g on getting 3 wins for moa racing (this is the total amount lost as I did win some of it back).

I have farmed ALL of my coffers I’d say anywhere from 800-1000. I have received 3 weapon tickets and 13 holo knights, in the process of farming these I have received 3 wooden chests from mobs granting me 2 pairs of holo wings and a rare worth about 15 silver. It is all RNG as stated above.

DeadlySynz.3471:

The problem with this quest is, it’s either not explained properly in-game by the NPC’s or it’s bugged.

Either way, judging by the horrendous flood of people making all these threads and bringing up issues with it, means there IS a problem with the instance. As I said, either it’s bugged or it’s not explained properly.

Anet, I don’t know about other people, but I’ve been at this for 5.5hrs trying everything under the sun to get it to work and have read thread after thread, and guide after guide…

Nothing works. There is better things people can be doing with their time rather than trying to figure out if your quest is actually bugged or if the instructions are just poor.. Either way, list step by step what were supposed to do, to make this work. Many people already went through the debacle with the big boom achievement not working, we don’t need another one.

I have tried going back to Divinities Reach on multiple alts and tried re-entering the instance in LA again on multiple alts with no success, I am stuck outside of the instance with no kit and no mail, how can this not be a bug? Some people can re-enter the instance at this stage or already have the mail and kit, so confused what I could be doing so very wrong.

I spent 21.5g ish on 3 wins but I had a lot of fun really, while my mate managed to profit 1.4g getting it.

Just luck.

To be honest if you really wanted the helm you would of made sure you could come on for like 15 mins during 3 days, it is not like it was miss leading. Both the launcher and the website both stated the days it would be possible to get well in advance (about 6 days). You missed it oh well, the helm is horrible and it is just wasting bank space atm, wish I could sell them.

x per fection x.2096:

Destroy your kit, don’t drop it on the ground in front of them or in L.A. somewhere. Take it from your inventory, drag it out of your inventory and then click yes to destroy.

Then enter the instance again, get another kit, use the ground target skill on the npc’s with the red stars above their heads. There is one by the initial scene and 4 or 5 on the stage. When you get the reward it is safe to leave, don’t leave before you get the reward or it will bug out.

That IS the problem. We all seem to not have a kit and we CANNOT re-enter the instance.

So it seems a lot of people are experiencing this bug and it is not just me… Kiel treats me as if I have done the instance and I have received the mail, which I have done the instance but no mail.

If an Areanet staff member could give us a word on this bug it would be much appreciated.

Well I have every achievement except the last 3 which all require you to have completed Every Piece Matters which is a seemingly impossible and buggy achievement.

My friends tell me that after the Lions Arch stage instance where you use the box thing to scan the people it tells you to the instance ends and you get mail telling you what to do next, well this is partly true I get up to the point where it ends I don’t have mail or the box you need. I cannot re-enter the instance to do it again so I can not try to get the mail that way.

This means whenever I go to a suspect it just says “Leave” so the achievement is impossible for me at the moment.

I have tried going back to Dead End to try and trigger it so I can redo the instance in Lions Arch but that didn’t work. Inspector Ellen Kiel just says to find the suspects which I do but nothing happens?

I want the reward and the achievements and I am being denied them for no fault of my own, seems unfair. I also want to follow the story if it is going to be continued on the 25th but I cannot do that either.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

PS: I have tried guesting and using alts neither work, also my mail is NOT full it is currently at 3/10, I have also tried going to all 3 suspects related in the achievement all of which only say “leave”

Edit: Just tried going to the ones released after the initial 3 I still only get a “leave” option.

Danikat.8537:

I suppose it’s good that they changed it, since they said they were going to, but IMO it’s a pretty pointless change. 10 achievements was easy to get and since you could get 10 today it didn’t even enable you to get the wings sooner.

They should have just kept it at 10 all along and avoiding the ridiculous complaints yesterday.

I agree. 10 was easy, people complain about missing event achievements, well isn’t that the point? If you want to get an event item you should make sure you can complete the event on the dates it was meant to happen?

I accidently ran into the fireworks about twice just selling junk from dungeons, banking and buying dungeon armor. Once you knew it was xx:50 every two hours just ask when the last one was and make sure you can make the next one they happened often enough. 300 Pinatas you just make sure to do a pinata run one or two times daily through LA, fireworks you get plenty enough from coffers. Holograms I did these while just creating a new guardian, effigies takes like 20 minutes and 30 silver ish if you use waypoints. So they are the ones people seem to dislike.

I mean I like getting all the achievements and doing these living stories, they are enjoyable for me so I might just be a bit biased as I enjoyed getting my 12 achievements and I plan to get them all tomorrow when the last 3 are released.

It was never broken really. :P It was easy enough to get 10 achievements 8 is laughably easy.

Oh they did? Well I just got that moa racing achievement for nothing, good fight 21.5g XD Oh well I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at moa racing so I am happy.

But I still think 8 achievements is a bit low to get such an awesome item considering there was 12 potential achievements. So you can now just skip 4 of them seems a bit pointless.

Every Piece Matters is being released tomorrow. Only 3 Suspects are available today the last 2 will be released tomorrow.

Also you only need 10 achievements for the wings. Anet said it was lowered to 8 but I needed to get 10 for the wings.

Hope I helped!

After I read them they seem to go missing and some I am not even receiving (the suspect ones).

Seems kind of odd in my opinion.

For event details it said in the patch notes on the launcher the times and it also said on the GW2 website. Also you didn’t miss much as the helmets are ugly and are just taking bank space up.

The wings are still obtainable if you just complete all the achievements bar the dragon ball and fireworks one. The moa one is not needed if you can still complete the protect the dolyak thing (which I might add I managed to fall under the map doing) if not the moa one set me back 21.5g but my friend profited 1.4g ish.

God Of Fissures.8627:

yeah i love the rng and grind too

My only “real” past experience to an MMO was Runescape. That whole game is a grind and RNG. I personally LOVE RNG as you will never know if you are going to get it. I just wish there was more of a grind at late levels. I mean CoF p1 is hardly a grind, I do it daily as I find it fun personally, same with TA.

But thanks for the update people need to stop complaining about FREE content, if it cost money monthly or it was a paid expansion I would understand but it is 100% FREE extra content.

People complain about real money needing to be spent just to get RNG then they sort that out so you can either pay real money or just play the game and accumulate coffers (they aren’t at all rare you get them so often) You can either sell them and buy gems with the gold you make to get rich coffers or you can just open them and hope for a skin.

I personally have opened 600 ish of them and got 2 skins my friend has opened 250 ish and got 3 skins and another friend has opened 1000+ and got 0 skins we all don’t see a problem with it as it didn’t cost us ANYTHING except maybe some in game money.

Thank you for the update Anet I have used the opportunity to level up my guardian and I am enjoying doing it as I am accumulating A LOT of coffers from doing it.

I spent about 21.5g on the moa racing while my friend profited 1g 40s (while it was A LOT of gold I say it was worth it as I had fun doing it and that feeling when your moa wins is AMAZING). But I have so far looted 2 of the normal wing covers (from wooden chests) and recieved 2 weapon skins from ~500-600 coffers (alongside 10 risen knights) so I am happy. I just decided to level up a new character and I just open the coffers and generally explore and do the holograms when I see them.

Dragon Ball in my opinion was a really fun minigame and I won 20 games in around 25 played so not too bad really.

The only hard achievement is moa racing as it is down to luck (muggo won 2/3 of the races for me, but I see a lot of people fortunate with meep/motti).

Also TWO achievements that count towards the wings will be released tomorrow. So the fireworks and moa racing are not even needed.

So what I am doing is using this opportunity to level a guardian and I am just casually exploring every area doing every DE and 100%ing all areas I enter.

I get more than enough coffers to satisfy my needs and the chances are you’ll get a few pairs of wings by the time you get to 80 as they seem to be common from wooden chests. Out of 3 wooden chests I got 2 wings and all of my friends bar 1 has gotten at least 1 pair of wings with me. (the one who didn’t get wings has gotten 3 skins in around 250 coffers though).

So just create a new character or level an alt that you have been delaying to do and the skins/wings/minis will come naturally.

Debsylvania.7396:

In hope of its’ being helpful to someone, those having issues might compare the steps they’ve taken to the steps in Dulfy’s walkthrough:

http://dulfy.net/2013/06/19/gw2-every-piece-matters-missing-suspects-achievement-guide/

Good luck to you all.

Most people seemed to have not picked up the box while in the cutscene and used them on the suspects there, but I know I did, just when I came out of that cutscene the box had gone and I didn’t have any mail that my friend did.

Just confusing really.

I’ve done dead end and the cutscene in LA with the 5 suspects. I left the cutscene and I didn’t get the investigation kit. I got told to redo the cutscene in LA but it just tells me to go look for the suspects.

I also did not get the mail that apparently most people got. I already have the wings but I wanted to get all the achievements

Glad to hear it’s not just me. Some people seem to be fine.

Ever since dragon bash I have been getting lag which has made the game UNPLAYABLE. It is not always there and it only seems to be Guild Wars 2. My connection is fine and I have a high end computer that runs the game on ultra at around 100fps.

When I do lag I have anywhere from a 5 second to a 1 minute delay. Absolutely outrageous. I am not the only one experiencing this either so are some of my friends.
