Guild Wars 2

SAB does not need a level select. It can be completed fairly quickly. You can do it incredibly fast and still get the story (there’s isn’t any btw like a lot of the older games). All that’s really left are achievements and an achievement is something that requires work.

Charming Rogue.8071:

A dev actually stated that the wurm shortcut IS supposed to work in TM, but the Eagle shortcut isn’t. The Eagle won’t allow shortcuts because he’s an “eagle of justice, and taking a shortcut isn’t very justice-y”.

No they didn’t.

I’d read that thread again. If one shortcut is not allowable, why would you think the other would be? Silence is not a yes. The dev even indirectly stated that it wasn’t further in the post.

Ayrilana.1396:

It takes at most two hours to do a zone with baubles. If you’re spending 4 hours then you’re going incredibly slow.

W2Z3Trib takes loooong time for lot of players,split that zone in z3.1 z3.2 were you need z3.1 item to open boss room or somthink if they cant add save feature.

No. The length is perfect. If people are having issues, there’s this mode with rainbows and clouds that they can try.

World 2 is hardly challenging. If you don’t like the assassins knocking you around then kill then rather than blast past them. You do not need the upgraded weapons to kill them.

People seriously need to play the older games.

You will not see indications of spikes. It’s tribulation mode, not challenge mode.

Then it is not working as intended. The devs stated that shortcuts were not supposed to work.

Then it’s in an inaccessible area or embedded in the mountain out of sight. I ran TM specifically because baubles stand out in that mode.

That’s not how games work.

You’re not supposed to use the worm shortcut in TM. You’re not supposed to use the worm shortcut in TM. You’re not supposed to use the worm shortcut in TM. You’re not supposed to use the worm shortcut in TM.

Sorry for the repetition but people are completely ignoring the poster that mentioned this.

It takes at most two hours to do a zone with baubles. If you’re spending 4 hours then you’re going incredibly slow.

Doing it in a group fine if you’re looking for a casual run and don’t care about how long it takes. If you’re going for efficient runs where you don’t get stuck waiting for slow players then you’re better off solo.

I refuse to run SAB in a group because of what I experienced last April. People are just so incredibly slow and not very good with jumping puzzles. PuGing also attracts those that want to be carried and have their hand held.

It’s too late by this point.

RoRo.8270:

Not sure how anyone considers TM hard it just comes down to what the op said trial and error memorization of everything that kills you

Not so much trial and error anymore since the majority use those videos. It’s now more of a jumping puzzle that can one-shot you if you mess up.

Find a link between a gem store item and the bugged achievement. Only then will you receive an instantaneous response.

@Ayrilana:

I checked the spheres at Area 3, your spheres of picture 10 and 11 are ONE and THE SAME.

From 10 you just fall down to 11, 11 is the way you get there, if you follow dulfys guide for hidden rooms as you get there by going to hidden room 5/6

If you read the text in the same post I linked the photo album of the baubles, you would see why there are duplicate images of some of the baubles.

It’s not accessible in Area 1 which is why it was not put in that section. It would be more confusing to list it in Area 1 when there is no way to reach it until you’re in Area 2. The baubles are listed in the order that you will likely proceed to acquire them. The ones for Area 3 can be done in any order. One of the purple baubles in Area 3 can be done while in Area 2 but then you leave yourself stuck and have to make the climb again.

Orpheal.8263:

What do you mean with edits ? You mean such thigns like dulfy does, like putting texts into the video and counters for spheres/hidden romms ect. ?

Yes. That was what I was referring to. I would make a video except it’s not worth it to buy a program. The free ones all seem to be terrible.

Orpheal.8263:

These will be a great help.
However naturally a video guide would be even greater ^^ (I’m the type, which wants to see things in action hehe)

I really hope this achievement mystery will be solved soon.
Would like to be done with at least the normal SAB 2 part of achievements before the next patch comes on September 17th

I could do a video play-through of me getting them but I’m not one to do all of the edits.

Here are the screenshots of the baubles. People are more than welcome to use these for their guides.

One of the yellow baubles in Area 3 is listed twice to show where to drop down to it from the top. There are two images for the 6 baubles in Area 4 to show the baubles themselves and also to show where to bomb. There are 3 images for the baubles in Area 6 to show the two at the top, the two in the middle, and the one at the bottom.

Yeah. I just now got to that one, since I’m taking screenshots of each bauble, and noticed it bobbing up and down.

On the nose of one of the faces or after that checkpoint?

Which one was stuck in a rock? All of them seemed clearly visible to me.

Would it be possible to also make it so that all utilities, buffs, and so on follow the following prioritization: player > team > everyone else?

For example, let’s say that I’m on Mesmer and cast time warp. If I’m standing in the circle when it is cast, I will receive the buff. All teammates that were standing within the circle as it was cast receive the buff. If the ability affects 5 people max and there are only 4 members including myself, whoever else is in the circle gets the buff determinable by however you’re doing it now.

It depends on your latency, character race, and how you do the jump. It’s possible but a pain.

CMF.5461:

About 3 hours later, no respawn. I am satisfied with the answer that the first half of w2/z3 does not respawn.

Second half, is easier to test as you can back track that half if need be. So I will not bother to test that section… Just wanted to give piece of mind that we didn’t have to finish the zone in a required amount of time and that we could back track to the second half to pick up any possible respawns and not completely fail the achievement if slow.

Thank you for checking.

I’d rather you be able to forge them into a white weapon than a rainbow one.

The achievements were hardly a chore. They took less effort than most of the other ones. Of course if you were expecting to blast through them the first night…

noobgood.8762:

Someone I know managed to find the issue causing this bug. It was reported straight away, so maybe we can expect it to be fixed soon.

Which was?

Mikuchan.7261:

Ayrilana.1396:

All achievements count.

Except infant and Tribulation.

Tribulation is its own set so of course not. I thought infantile did?

All achievements count.

Both are not with the company. A quick google search of their name will lead you to sites like Google+, LinkedIn, and such where both of them have shown the reasons why they are no longer there.

There are 4 in each zone. If you been to all 4 in zone 3 then you’re missing one in another zone. Someone with the same issue missed the shop in zone 1 at the bottom of the waterfall thinking he had gotten it.

Are you using the same character you beat World 1 with on TM?

And start moving in the direction as you’re about to hit the trampoline.

Or one of those daily/monthly tones.

You have to line up your shot first and that’s assuming you have a good time to react.

Circle around them as you attack. Works great for the mini boss with the glove in zone 2 as well.

Sli Fi.7980:

Tribulation cloud is not the same thing as infantile cloud.

Except it’s neither of those.

Alys Florent.1359:

Da Sonic.6521:

From what I’ve heard, some unrepeatable and unexplainable series of events makes Mesmer clones think they have runesets you used to have.

This is almost certainly the case. If you had 6/6 Golemancer runes from the CoE set, I believe, your clones can and will summon the golem even if you have another rune set equipped.

I can verify with the CoE armor. I randomly spawn golems after I put in ruby orbs.

Google search their names.

These posts referring to his blog post have likely gotten him into more trouble and done nothing but worsen the situation.

And go to the next zone.

I actually enjoyed zone 2. The assassins are not a problem if you learn how to fight them. Circle strafing is a big help in dodging the ninja stars and leap attacks. Timing your dodges is useful as well.

The zone goes by very quickly once you have done it once and know what to do. The traps are clearly visible as you can see the red rectangular box strips. If you rush through the map then you obviously will not see them.

I personally want more levels like zone 2 and 3 of world 2. No more of the zones in world one which were boring.

eekzie.5640:

It would be funny if it was a troll cloud, except that the checkpoint in front of it is bugged with the spikes on the floor.

Yeah… give them ideas.

You do not need that cloud checkpoint when there’s one about 30 seconds away.

other shop next to elite skill

Mad Queen Malafide.7512:

Would be nice if Josh could tell us if it’s bugged, or if we simply overlooked a bauble.

He would if he could as would a lot of other devs. Their hands are tied unfortunately.

Yeah. Doesn’t work on Infantile, Normal, and Tribulation. Using a continue, doing it on a new character, and zoning in from zone 2 for the first time doesn’t matter either.

Nighthawk.6453:

In the W2-2, in the very beginning, I’m failing to do this jump without dodge-jumping. Is it possible, or I just took the wrong route?

There’s a small area on the left to jump from against the cliff.

Lol. Interesting, why I thought you can’t jump from that ledge…

Jump from the back, not the edge. You won’t jump high enough if you jump from the edge.

They could do transformation potions and town clothes too.

Yeah that Trib cloud takes up half the time I spend doing that zone.
