Guild Wars 2

Good to see some similar thoughts in others, but I think most just don’t care either way.

I can’t possibly be the only one who thinks this way…?

Okay, so it’s not something significant but I feel that the three EotM colours do not match their current names. When I first took a look at it, I could immediately see a more suitable match for all three of them.

Frostreach covered by ice should be blue.
Overgrowth covered by jungles should be green.
Badlands covered by deserts should be red.

Well, it doesn’t really matter either way, but I just thought it fit the flavour better. Thoughts?

Well, I gave up on any incoming hotfixes for a tracker of some sort as it seems they just don’t understand how time-consuming it can be. So I bit the bullet and repeated 9 maps (thank god I had 4 confirmed ones) and got that elusive 25 AP.

Sounds easy enough, but take into account that since the start of the patch, I have probably completed about 40 maps just to get this achievement, i.e. I wasn’t there to farm Aether champs or powerlevel alts or whatever else. That’s 3 times the amount needed, all that time spent in areas I didn’t want or need to be in, and that’s not even including the amount of hourly checks for maps that I needed. Technically, I had already completed my 13 unique maps by the second day, noting down the maps as I went through them. You see, I try to complete my achievements as quickly and efficiently as possible, precisely because I wanted to avoid the time-wasting bullkitten that I just went through over the last week.

Perhaps I can only blame myself for trusting Anet, by not checking the in-game achievement UI every time I finished a map.

Oh yay, it’s a sticky now! That means it’s a priority to fix right? Right?

Here are some suggestions to deal with this issue:

1. Put a tracker in the achievement UI like you did with the kites.

If it’s too late to do that:

2. Release a fixed rotation of maps.

If you’re afraid of people camping the maps ahead of time:

3. Release a random rotation of maps but 3 or 4 invasions happening simultaneously.

As I have mentioned many times in this thread, it is quite impossible to expect a player to repeat 13 maps of 45 mins each, especially with the randomness and bugs associated with this achievement and I sincerely hope you can understand this from the players’ point of view.

Good to finally see official response.

I never disconnected nor swapped characters during the invasion. The two maps that are not counting for me (Sparkfly Fen and Mount Maelstrom) were done on overflows, however, I had also previously completed several other maps on overflows, so that does not seem to be the problem.

Unfortunately, I simply do not have the time to try and do those two maps again, unless you release a fixed rotation of maps. As it is, having to check once on the hour throughout the entire day for the maps you need, and then having to go through ~45 minutes of that map (again) and then find that it didn’t count of the achievements (again) would be borderline insanity. It is asking too much from the average casual player.

I may be facing the same issue here.

Maps I have completed:
Fireheart Rise
Iron Marches
Blazeridge Steppes
Frostgorge Sound
Timberline Falls
Dredgehaunt Cliffs
Lornar’s Pass
Harathi Hinterlands
Gendarran Fields

So technically I should have 9/13 but I am only sitting at 8/13 at the moment. I will post again to confirm if it is a bug once I have completed one of the other 4 maps.

Maps I have definitely not completed:
Mount Maelstrom
Sparkfly Fen
Bloodtide Coast
Fields of Ruin

I must have made a mistake somewhere. Just finished Bloodtide Coast and it is now 9/13 for me. Although I was quite sure I had completed those 9 maps, now I gotta figure out which one I got to do again. Any easy way to do this other than doing all 9 again (well 7 since I got the Fire and Frost achievement)?

Okay, so after completing Fields of Ruin yesterday and logging off at 10/13 (but should technically be 11/13) , I log in today to find that it is now indeed 11/13 which is accurate to my own count. I’m going to assume a fix was done sometime between then? Although my own issue has been solved, an official response from a dev would still be really nice to clear things up.

Sigh, problem is back again. Just completed Sparkfly Fen which was one of the last 2 maps that I had yet to do. Guess what, still at 11/13. Honestly, why hasn’t there been any sort of official response on this? It’s awfully frustrating. Please at least mention you are aware that there is indeed an issue, so that we know it isn’t a problem on our end, then we don’t have to waste time until there is a fix!

Well, I see the topic has been merged, although still no official response.

Anyway, finally completed my last map, Mount Maelstrom, but still stuck at 11/13. Just gonna hope that it’ll magically be 13/13 tomorrow when I login, like it happened earlier for me today (jumped from 10/13 to 11/13).

Unfortunately, I can offer no useful advice to other fellow players suffering from this. Some of the maps don’t appear too often so you definitely wanna take the chance to do it when it appears in the rotation, yet at the same time you feel like you may have just wasted ~40-45 mins for each of the “bugged maps” that you did when you check and discover it didn’t actually count towards the achievement. Very frustrating indeed.

I also have the same problem with Emissary of the Mad King achievement as described above.
