i just feels like nobody cares because they have it already.
A large portion of the player base never cared about those achies to begin with. Those that did (and were able to do harder achies) got the armor & the achie earlier. As a recent returnee this impacts me in a very painful way though .. :P
I think if we want this fixed we have to post about it on the gw2 sub reddit.
I tried that, got downvoted to oblivion in seconds with friendly ppl recommending me to “go to hell” & “use the search function to find the solution” etc etc.
Those people would have no idea what the problem is and most likely already have the achievement. If someone does do another sub reddit, spam the link in the bugs section so we can all log on and up vote it.

“The Guild Wars 2 Development Team is aware of this issue about This achievement is unavailable because the challenge mote does not spawn and team members currently are working on addressing it.”
That’s all I really wanted, so now I can wait for them to fix it.
Rumors are it’ll be fixed by today’s patch (just rumors so no source). Or maybe it is just me hoping for the best. It’ll be a kitten shame if, after a couple of months, we wont see a fix. There will be plenty of unhappy people, me being one of them.
Can you be a little bit more specific? You heard it from random players, saw it on map chat, came up with the rumor yourself etc etc!?
Acknowledgement that they’re working on a fix would be nice.
I don’t mind waiting for a fix I know is coming. But if it’s not coming, then I’ll try a few times a day to get in…
Kind of frustrating to have an almost-complete collection.
I keep trying a few times a day myself, hoping it’s potentially a server side fix or whatever.. Still until it’s fixed I’m pretty sure that it’s 100% impossible and at this point I’m not even sure if actual Anet devs know of this. I mean suspecting how “community managers forwarding bugs” is working it’s definitely possible the devs don’t know the difference between the old “sometimes not working”, “needs 15 tries to get in” & the current situation which is 100% not working ever.
this is so suspicious…no word from Anet on this…why would they keep so silent when this is driving so many ppl insane…we need just that one achievement to get our set we’ve worked so hard for….One Achievement
Cannot fix the achie? Fine with me, just remove it as a requirement for the armor.
Gw2 is a great game, but it’s also known that bugs aren’t fixed fast. Even some obvious ones – like a broken, blinking LFG tool – persisted one (or two ? I can’t remember now) weeks before it was fixed.
Resources are relocated on the epansion works, but I bet they will fix it until the end of march. Maybe sooner, game is being patched almost every day, so bug zapping is in progress.
This is a blocking issue, Anet usually takes that somewhat more seriously than “one random event is broken” kind of bugs . The Luminescence set is pretty much the most prestigious armor in game too..
Is there any updated guides on reaching a higher level of play on Ranger on another website or something? Alot of people tell what Rangers are capable of but, they never really explain on how to get there.
Check out Brazil’s DnT ranger guide, it’s fairly old, but it is still current.
Some of the skill set for ranger are difficult to really capture without practical experience, like keeping track of the cool down on the dogs leap so that you can have it on the next swap or getting the feel for using weapon evades on sword/dagger while the auto attack is on.
Just wanted to give a short update/info. Yes the mote is very buggy. It will eventaully show up. I had to restart the instance about 40 times when I finaly got lucky and was able to finish the achievement. This was 3 days ago, so it definately is doable currently. Just very buged.
Edit: Nothing fancy to do. The challenge mote should be right next to the npc when you spawn in. If you don’t see it, leave and retry. I was solo when I finaly got lucky. Not sure if that makes a difference.
There were like 2~ patches since then. Even so I tried about 50-60 times before giving up.
I have this same problem. It is blocking progress on achievements. We have tried it multiple times. With minis out, without minis. With the mission, or just in achievement mode. Nothing works. The little blue flame for the challenge mode simply does not and will not appear in “Meeting the Asura”. This is literally the only thing stopping me from finishing my Lumi set.
(1) Jump on an Engineer
(2) Equip Elixir Gun
(3) Use #4 (Acid Bomb)
(4) Swap out the Elixir Gun at any time during that 550 range leap
You’ll find that you are able to interrupt it at any distance of the leap.
If it is possible for that ability, I don’t see why it would be impossible for our shorter 300 and 430 range leaps.
Additionally, the “chasedown functionality” comes from it simply performing these leaps directly at your target (or direction you’re facing if you have no target). Maybe I’m missing something, but I don’t see why that would need to lock people out of dodge rolls in order to “preserve the chasedown functionality”.
You can’t say because X works, Y should too….that is not how Anet’s programming works. Otherwise we would be able to perma stow our pets, because other classes can ‘stow’ theirs (clones, minions, etc.)
Also you are talking about canceling a single leap, this would be canceling a chained leap. Something tells me these two are not equivalent.
As I said, I wouldn’t care either way if we could cancel out with a dodge or if they leave it as-is. I don’t spam the skill, and I have never had an issue of moving out of the way of something when I need to.
Perma stow has nothing to do with this. That’s purely a design decision.
Blaming this on code is laughable. How will they add new skills if they cannot even do this much? Just think about it, from a coding standpoint they could just add a single new chain-skill, use the same tooltip names & delete the old one (or just make it become invisible, still available to pve mobs whatever) This is Arena net’s game, if they cannot even modify/replace a single skill what can they do? This is merely a problem with priorities, which is kind of wrong in this case seeing how ridiculously popular ranger is right now, in every game mode too.
Tbh I would be pleased if the game remembered I pressed dodge mid leap & executed it after the leap was over, or if it broke the leap. Reworking how dodging works would be a quality of life change for everyone, not just us rangers.
I’d like to use the sword, but with the bouncing around it’s just not that fun and it actually makes evading harder.
Now I use axe but that isn’t melee weapon, for some reason, as all of it’s attacks are ranged and can be bounced back to you with reflection.
Major problem with the axe that it hits like 3 wet noodles.
Spirit of nature is nice combat rez that can be useful in fractals when pugging. But other than the usual 15 points for frost spirit and emphatic bond, nope spirit spec is not viable.
In my opinion all classes are very viable, except necros.
For example, a skilled ranger will always be better than a second warrior. Guardians are a bit overrated, but a solid zerk guard is always great. Stacking eles is naturally great etc etc. If the player is skilled only necros are falling behind, even so they can do 75% what thieves can do if they are not some useless condi spec.
Norn & Sylvari, because most medium armor sets look really bad & nornslyvari cultural t3s are actually decent. As a pve player Norn is the masterrace imo, simply because the snowleopard norn elite is a great tool to skip trashmobs. (and the other norm forms have niche uses as well)
Not really asking for a time frame.
Just asking for some “communication with you” in the bug forum. As I said a simple ‘yes we know’ and it’s on our to do list would be be fine. But totally ignoring it —not so fine.
Hi Blude,
We are not ignoring it all. We are aware and will update Monday.
It’s funny how everyone has a different opinion on what has the best dps on the ranger right now LB burst into Sword/Axe seems to be the highest to me :P
“We are aware and will update Monday” English is not my first language, but I have a feeling this could mean multiple things .. At least now we know that they know, that is something. If they fixed this it would be truly fantastic.
Wondering how many threads have been created for this issue from the very beginning.
Ranger sword #1 is unique and it makes the class more intresting. It is not going to change because some people can’t turn auto attacks off and die, or simply because the animation looks ninja-ish on some classes.
PS: I should save the reply for future reposting…
I’m sorry but kitten uniqueness. Even with the auto off when you are mid animation you won’t be able to dodge without a delay and you gotta spam your 1 button to attack constantly, we aren’t suppose to kill our keyboards while playing this game, me thinks.
I never died from sword auto attack once I got used to it. The delay you are talking about is so small, it allows you to evade if you act fast.
The only “advantage” one can say I have, is that I use razer naga mouse, but then again you got 5 fingers, you can spam your skills with 1 and have 4 spare to decide which you will evade with…
There are certain attacks where the delay matters, for example at the Archdiviner. Plus don’t forget that as a ranger we cannot max range melee something like everyone else can.
You have sword #2 and sword #3 which both are evades.
Also you can just normal dodge in Archdiviner, I know cause I have done it.
This threads are by people who just can’t stand the sword autoattack and keep QQ’ing.
Excuse my QQ’ing, I’ll keep doing it until the sword AUTOattack is not going to limit my movement nor dodging in any way.
After 2 years there are only very few veteran ppl left that still play their ranger seriously as their mains in PVE & of those very few you have a large % that is like you “liking” the mechanic and stuff. Anet should be thinking about new player experience & class friendliness and such as well.
(I meant bottom side Arch, but sure it’s possible when you are lucky and you are always in the right bit in your auto chain. What can I say some ppl just like the “pain”. Maybe it’s different if you play on the US server in the US, it’s possible the server ques up dodges better for you)
Too bad it will never happen, even less likely than the trait.
