Guild Wars 2

5, 100, 500 and 5 are all the final tier values for those achievements. 1, 25, 125 and 2 are all the first tier completion requirements, except the last one which is tier 2 of 5. Every player has obviously the same monthlies.

Fun is subjective. For those who can do it, it might be fun. For clumsy butterthumbs like me who can’t even get halfway to the first chest on their 50th try, it really isn’t. Not finishing it will surely leave a sore hole in my achievements. I know that if I don’t get it soon, it will be left uncompleted forever as an event puzzle. Limited time puzzles should be less difficult while the ones added to the game permanently could just as well be as hard as they can make them.

So, while the particular puzzle is devilishly difficult, I’m not saying it should be nerfed, just that it was put into a wrong place.

Mad Queen Malafide.7512:

I can understand people being frustrated. But seriously, Griffonrook Run is right over there. Do that first, then come back and tell me if the Clocktower is unfair or hard. It isn’t. But it’s slightly challenging. You might have to try it several times.

Griffonrook is actually quite interesting an example; it does have an easy mode and a hard mode. You don’t need to take the bomb with you; you’ll still get the achievement if you don’t, but you don’t get any loot.

That could explain the source of the discrepancy. A better solution, if one doesn’t mind the folder existing in two places at once, would be to make a symbolic/hard link junction from the former screen folder to the new one. Will probably edit a detailed guide how to do so once I’m back from the uni in a few hours.

E: I did some quick testing with non-GW2 related files and this should be working, but nevertheless proceed at your own risk (and make backups!). In this guide, I assume you want to have the files located physically in the GW2 folder; while it is not possible to make the folder not appear at the profile folder, it is possible to have it appear there and in the GW2 folder. This should also work across partitions and even different physical hard disks if you have more than one of either.

For XP, as old as it is, you will need to download a tool to make a junction in the first place, in this case this one from MS themselves. If your screenshots are still under Documents and Settings, move the folder as is to the GW2 folder and make sure the original Screens folder doesn’t exist.

Now, drop the Junction tool you downloaded to C:\Documents and Settings\(user)\My Documents\Guild Wars 2, open command prompt with administrator privileges, navigate yourself to that same folder (navigation help), and type “junction Screens X:\path\to\GW2\Screens” without quotes and substituting the actual path in. After this, the files are still located at the GW2 folder, but any program accessing the screens folder in your own profile folder should be silently redirected to the another folder, effectively making the folder appear at two places at once.

You can now get rid of the downloaded executable after you’re done.

IMPORTANT: Junctions and other similar tricks can confuse programs and users and as such be cautious when modifying the junction link itself. I believe I have heard that Windows Explorer in particular actually deletes the folder (from both places because they’re the same) if you delete the junction, instead of just removing that one reference to the folder. To remove the junction safely, use the same tool you used earlier for creating it.

Attached a screen shot where I tested this with a different folder across different (virtual) disks.

Well, take a second look on the actual top bar… PvP has its icon up there now.
