Guild Wars 2

Khisanth.2948:

You also need to do all the hidden achievements as well if it is like the previous episode. I guess that has a useful purpose. Until it lights up anyone looking to do all the achievements would know if there any hidden ones left.

This what causes the thing I called a “bug” , a friend is missing the “Don’t Cross Lines” (or whatever it’s called) in Bloodstone Fen and his Out of The Shadows Master Achievement reward is grayed out. I guess it’s a way to check for hidden achievements even though it’s oddly implemented. I guess it’s solved now.

I guess that makes sense but if thats the case the Master reward should require all achievements instead of 23 (26?)

Even though I have completed every single achievement in Rising Flames and gotten its Master Reward it still appears grayed out in the Story Journal.
Minor bug messing with my OCD.

How do the checkpoints work anyway?

And it surprises me they did that when :
-Only the “1%” raids
-The map is clearly made to farm EXP (100 orbs = 1 spirit shard)
I just find it somewhat unfair im being forced into harder content just for a common currency.

The new map is great for EXP rewards (you can even buy map specific EXP upgrades!) and to slowly but surely farm spirit shards making EXP useful again.
Sad part is that if you have not complete any raid encounter to unlock the Raid Mastery tracks the EXP stays useless. And given that only a small portion of the community raids only those get the EXP rewards.
This is the only thing that frustrates me about the map since its hard to find a group to raid with , maybe make those masteries not count towards the spirit shard unlock or just straight up give us the mastery tracks (which would make everyone mad , i know).
Just thought I’d share these thoughts!
Happy Farming.

I am also going for Dawn. I got that step once the Matrix Key is used. Don’t jump in but inch towards the ledge. It was difficult but easily done.

I’ll try it , thanks.

Trying to get the “Irradiated Light” item. Tried twice today , after someone uses the Matrix Key on the console I double click the Illuminator but nothing happens.
Am I doing something wrong?
