Uhm…..
Let me try…
Here we go, It’s a GAME meant to be played in your LEISURE TIME where you run around a FANTASY enviroment collecting FANTASY items to equip your MAKE BELIEVE character so your MAKE BELIEVE character can fight MAKE BELIEVE monsters in the FANTASY world..
{ Read it slow and look closely at the words in CAPS }
Now don’t get me wrong i am sorry you and others seem to have had this problem, but as others have said… it happens it can’t be helped things break sometimes.
If you had been in the process of spending real money and a rollback affected that then yes thats a point to complain about, but all you ’’lost’’ were time in a GAME thats no big deal.
Thats strange when i press ’’M’’ to look at the ‘’world map’’ i don’t see an area labeled Eternal battleground or any of the other areas in the WvW map..
Guess you must have a different ‘’World Map’’ to the rest of us..
I agree with the OP achievments for ‘’World Map’’ shouldnt include the PvP areas because quite simply THEY ARE NOT ON THE WORLD MAP…
Congratulations Arenanet. You've convinced me never to finish my personal story.

Here may be a suggestion for you…
I see from both screen shots you have posted that your party is still split up..
In the first SS one party member is still way up on the path away from you..
And in this latest SS 2 or 3 members of the party in the map screen bottom right are right off the map..
Maybe they are still fighting mobs you have missed in those areas ?
And that is why the event is not continuing.
Just a suggestion have a look.
kind of hoping that i am not stood near it when it does get fixed….
Grave danger of being trampled to death in the stampede of lvl 80’s all rushing at once to do it :p
The risen in that area are going to get a real kicking too.. :p
P.S It’s still bugged on seafarers rest too.

273 Hours for me, thats from game start.
The funny part is in those 273 hours i have died 482 times.!!
Yea i completely suck at MMO’s
Very well said Saga…
That is exactly what i have noticed too, every event i go too at every outpost or escort mission its a spam an AOE spell fest.
Im lucky with all that Aoe going on if i hit maybe one or two mobs at the most.
I notice too on my server that most people are staying at mostly penitent path and doing the event one end of the tunnel and then running to the other end and doing that before then again running back to the first camp again. {and seem to do that all day}
So subsequently other events in Orr the temple ones never realy have enough people to complete so are always contested so very difficult to do.
I have become quite unhappy with my time in Orr now and have gone back to the other lower level maps {even though i completed all of them} just looking around and finding things to do, which suprisingly there are still things to look at and do even after you have completed the map.
Well my time for a little contribution i think…
I will start by saying i don’t like PvP, i never have and never will.
Now probably because of comments i have read here by the ’’hardcore’’ Pvp ’’Elitists’’ etc i never will take up Anets offer, As set out in a very nice Email from them to ‘’come and try WvW’’
The situation to me looks like this,
You have jumping puzzles and vista’s in keeps, towers. etc..
Now whatever you do you need to PvP to get those vista’s etc, even doing tasks like fetching supplies, re-inforcing walls etc you WILL be attacked by others.
And a LOT of people dont wish to play like that.
But we go into that enviroment to gain the achievments of 100% map completion and the puzzle achievments..
I believe the long wait to get into WvW at the moment on some servers isnt because it is popular and people want to do it,
But for the simple reason that you HAVE to be there to get 100% map achievment completion.
Already i see posts on this very forum of servers asking people to come join the server for there WvW, or other posts asking for more people to WvW during hight hours so they keep the ranking..
So to summarise i realy hope you ’’hardcore’’ elite pvp’ers are having fun camping jump puzzles now, because when the majority of players have that 100% map completion you will be sat up there on your own.. ALL DAY..
And no im not a pve carebear thats QQ about not having the achievments i stayed up until 3am every night for a week and did all of them while the ’’hardcore’’ elitists where fast asleep with there teddy bears..
Goodnight :p
{Oh and i never liked WOW either… Boring and too cartoony for my likes}

Guys… Please don’t throw insults back and forth..
The reason for me posting what i saw today was because i was so dissapointed in the actions of these people who it seems only think of themselves and not of the impact there actions are having on the wider game…
I am in no way dissapointed in the game… the Devs.. Or anything else like that.
It’s an awesome game and the attention to detail in it shows real care for the product they are giving us.
{apart from a few technical dificultys here and there}
I did try to report as many of them as i could, however the speed they were moving and the numbers of them im afraid i must have missed a few.
Like others have said. Report them and move on. hopefully it will all be sorted soon. And yes i guess me starting this topic was a little of blowing off steam about my dissapointment.
So lets not rant at each other yea.
Realy i did…
Now don’t get me wrong, i love this game best game i have ever played, i purchased it the very day it came available for pr-purchase and played through all Beta events and loved every single moment of it..
Even when the game was released and the one or two opening few day problems i didn’t mind i was getting a great game to spend my time in.
But now…
Well i will tell you what i have been seeing today that made me logg off in disgust.
Today i thought well i would like to try some more dynamic events, so i used wp to go to Penitent path, i hear the one there is quite fun..
When i get there i stand for a while and watch before the event starts. all i see is rangers and warriors teleporting from mob to mob killing them then teleporting back to the gate.
Not just one person doing this.. WHOLE GROUPS of them..
So i after being waved at a few times by the Npc telling me the other camp at other side of tunnel is being attacked i run down there.
And what do i see..
The same group teleporting from mob spawn point to mob spawn point killing the mobs before they even get to the camp.
So i left the area.
I went to Splintered coast thinking maybe i will have a fun time trying the Dragon for a change.
I get there and stand by the Research facility and watch for a while…
What do i see.?
Groups of people Teleporting from mob to mob on the map…
{sound familiar yet ?}
The event with the Krait attacking the lab starts.. but i never see a Krait the ’’teleporters’’ are doing exactly the same thing as the ones described above teleporting from spawn point to spawn point killing all before ’’normal’’ gamers could tag anything.
Now if this carries on you are going to be left with NOTHING in this game but teleporting botters.
Which is a real shame because as i say i love playing this game it’s a hell of a lot of fun when your given a chance to play it.
{and yes before some people say i did report the ones i could tag quick enough in between the teleports}
Is it hard to take out 15 people camping a spot from a tactically superior position? Yes, it is. Is it impossible? No. I understand not wanting to PvP. What I don’t understand is wanting the rules changed so that you can get an accomplishment that other folks had to work a lot harder for.
Sorry but incorrect…
Because when 90% of the server got that achievment there wasnt 15 people camped at the top of the jumping puzzle with arrow carts etc to shoot you off it…
It doesnt make the game ’’fun’’ or enjoyable when you have to sit up until 2 am in the morning when there is no one else around before you can go and do something..
THAT ISN’T A FUN GAME
You don’t have to sit up till 2am to do anything. If it’s not fun, don’t do it.
Please read all post before posting…
What i am saying is….
I like to explore things… I like to adventure….. I dont like pvp..
I want 100% map completion {98% now}
That will be a great achievment in the game for me…
So as i have asked Arenanet in other posts i have made. WHY are they excluding those of us that dont like pvp… have no interest in doing it, and never will have any interest in doing it… WHY are they putting content to make 100% map completion in a pvp area…
That is why i am saying it isnt fun anymore trying for 100% map completion because to do what i wish to achieve, I HAVE TO STAY UP UNTIL 2 AM IN THE MORNING..
To avoid the pvp’ers..
That isnt fun

Why are ppl that dislike pvp or bad at it forced to do wvw to get all the vistas/skill points and poi’s?
You’re not forced to get all vistas, skill points and PoIs. So there.
IF… you like to complete the things in a game that YOU ENJOY then yes you are FORCED into an area that you dont like {pvp} in order to get them.
I HATE pvp never liked it and never will…
But i love to complete all the sections of a game that i do enjoy…
I LIKE to explore to see all things in a game that interest me..
I like the poi and the vista’s.
I dont want to be fighting other players for the chance to look at them.
Arenet said in there advertising for this game it was meant for all. So why are they shutting out and restricting content to those of us that hate pvp.??
{still waiting on an answer to this}
{would be interesting to hear there discrimination policy on this}
It’s simple..
The reason they are camped there is for one reason and one reason only..
To farm the players { for badges } that have all there concentration on doing the jumping puzzle rather than looking out for other players.
It’s an easy kill for them and by that token it should be flagged as griefing..
Or… like others have said take the puzzle achievment OUT of a pvp area.
I have no interest in PvP never have and never will. but to get my 100% map achievment it seems i have to go into there and run around avoiding other players to get all my achievments done.
This is wrong, and should be changed.
I will tell you what i have been doing to try and avoid this situation, last night i was in game until 3 am in the morning my time, running around with a speed boost on trying to get all the points of interest.. vista’s.. and skill challenges done before i got zerged and gang killed by these idiots..
Luckily there wasnt many on but a few french guys/girls and when they did attack me i just bowed at them and didnt fight back and they left me alone, but im still not 100% finished so i have to go back.
So Anet… what are you going to do about it..?? why put pve content in a pvp enviroment and FORCE us people that have no interest in it to go there..
{waiting for a suitable answer}
