For the last 2 days I have not received my 10 AP reward for my daily despite it showing up as completed in the achievement summary, I have not reached my max limit on daily AP’s wonder if anyone else getting this
I have killed diarmid several times in the mordremoth event doing enough dame to get xp gold award and loot has been shielded as well – still no achievement awarded – got it on the other slayer achievements
this still seems bugged – have killed the boss several time snow doing enough damage getting loot chest and gold award no achievement is this still a problem? also was shield as well at the same time
am really struggling with the shards of brilliance strongbox with getting onto the first updraft keep falling too low, I have updraft mastery – but do you need lean gliding level 3 to make it
I am also the same with this severe lag issues in prime time I am with EE and has happened since BWE3. I live in Maidstone Kent South East
would love to hear any solutions with this as very annoying having to resort to using mobile phone as hotspot at the moment during peak hours
I was wondering if pristine fractal relics will now be in the wallet can you still click on them to give 15 fractal relics – I have been doing this to get some quick 20 slot fractal boxes!
I would say that anet have an idea of the number they want for the beta test – once that number is reached then stop the event – maybe not set a time limit initially. that way players are in the clear about when it would drop and not waste effort once its finished
How about this for an idea – have it set so that after “x number” of kills or events the portal is set to drop guaranteed for the player, but not to let the player base know this – so it is still thought of as random – that way those who are committed and show dedication and effort to obtain one would get it and be rewarded and not feel demoralized and destroyed at wasted efforts – but still have the impression its a random drop. so it not like they are aware of having to do it x number of times.
and yet, some people even get 2 portals which is utterly useless.
why not flag accounts that already have it, redistribute those duplicates to others that have been farming for days without success. (me included)sad moment in the map, someone gets a portal, 5min later, gets a second…
definitely so bad and wrong.. and soul destroying for those putting so much effort in to obtain one…
I have been doing silverwastes constantly now for the last 3 days without success and will keep trying until the end probably without much hope for a portal drop. I do feel, though, for these closed beta’s with probably low numbers being included compared to the player base that it would be better to stick with the old system of selection at random from subscribers to the newsletters. Maybe use this system of drops when the beta event is much bigger and they can make it far more common. It does seem a bit like torture for those who will put so much effort in for no reward – I know its by choice but still – also maybe they could implement a system by which after a certain number of events or kills the portal is added to the loot, but without informing the players so it would still appear as a random drop.
Elitist thread there’s a surprise
I would echo this I took part in the 7-9pm GMT beta stress test, and really enjoyed getting a small feel for the expansion. I had one dc but on the whole I feel the connection was stable and for what I did in the test it went well, really appreciated the opportunity to be part of it and hopefully look forward to next beta event , thank you anet
Thanks for the reply Gaile, have brought my ticket for Friday now at London cant wait, not been to a game convention before so quite excited now
I might be interested in the London event but was just wondering if the guild wars 2 stuff is only on the saturday, as the only day I can really make is the friday . I was assuming that the arenanet booth and HoT would only be there on the saturday – if its available on the friday I would get a ticket
I think that there is some bad game design goinon here. Setting players up to be at odds with each other over completing vs failing an event seems counter to the supposed cooperative nature of GW2’s design philosophy.
Must admit that its hard to sympathize with someone who calls others idiots for trying to defend in an event designed to be defended though.
Agree entirely – no one should be called an idiot or insulted for playing the game as it should be,
elitist thread – there’s a surprise!
I can confirm this bug – I started getting it on my ranger so went to dry top did a few runs there and events then went back the next day still no rhendak chest, not sure why?
I have exactly same problem with map ….142 cant load at all – I have found it hleped to clear gw2 cache but keeps recurring
thanks for quick reply
I was thinking about changing world server for more wvw. I just wanted to check if you lose any items in your character’s inventories if u do this? I know that guild bank items would be lost but personal bank items are safe
The statement about the gems was just an indication of how I am feeling at the moment about it, that’s all. I haver resigned myself to waiting now until next week when the new content comes out before redoing this. I know its permanent and when they notified us that the fix had been found it was just over a week. I just think it would have been a nice gesture to those players who have wasted a lot of in game time on this that it could be patched as easily as the patch released by anet very quickly which broke the achievement in the first place. ( I know it was not working as intended before then anyway), but still.
Also I feel for all those players who maybe don’t check forums at all who will waste their time on trying to get this achievement in the next week before the new content comes out.
happening with me too never used to
fully agree, for all those people who have wasted a significant amount of time trying to get an achievement which has been unobtainable since it was patched I would have thought it would have been nice for it to fixed before all the new content comes out.
I was planning on buying some gems with real cash but this whole saga with “on swift wings” has made me change my mind, which is a shame because I have always done this as a way of supporting the developers
(edited by godsie.2864)
its not fixed yet they have only found a fix – not quite the same
I don’t know why the patch cant be sent out now if the fix has been found why wait another week? it would be nice gesture for those who have spent ages already trying to get it
at least there has been a reply and info now but why if the bug fix has been found do they not send out the fix now before the next patch when there will be more achievements that’s a week away. If the fix is there it would have been a nice gesture to update it now.
nope just tried it too as suggested by waiting for invulnerability buff to wear off managed all 7 still did not trigger
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/livingworld/s2/On-Swift-Wings-bugged
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/On-swift-wings/first#post4222264
These 2 threads confirm this bug it is thought to be due to the NPC’s not going through the portal in the lab and exiting the instance, therefore the achievement does not trigger and when the last “defend the lab” event is triggered the NPC’s all automatically die in an unrezzable position outside the instance, thus bugging this achievement
I think this post from the entangled thread sums up the bug in “on Swift Wings” very well. The saved NPC’s are not exiting the instance but staying at the portal and then dying when the final event is triggered.
Reason why the achievement fails. All 7 NPC no matter how much time you wait, 10 minutes for the time achievement to end or just do it while its on, ALL 7 NPC’s Die at the end as they fail to cross the portal and leave the map. What happens:
-If u are delayed to get out of the priory cave and the guard tower npcs die the achievement fails.
-if you go anywhere near the final event circle the event fails
-Having ordered all 7 of them to retreat and careful checked they made it from distance to avoid triggering the final event they stop wlaking right infront of the exit portal in contrast with the priory caravan at the end of the entire instance that walks through the portal and leave the instance.I have tried all of the above however the reason that we all fail is that they npc;s bug? at the end and dont leave. Maybe some of you were lucky and didnt bug out.
If you still have the eligible buff it means you haven’t gotten all NPCs yet. .
Wrong. I have gotten all the NPCS several times and still the eligibility buff remains it is not in this case due to this, but rather as the previous poster said because there is a bug and the NPC’s for most people are dying at the portal.
I have just tested the chat bubble and am unable to click on the 2nd priory agent once he starts running to the hollow
done on green star story instance
solo got all 7 NPC’s
waited for timer to end 10 mins
took Braham
still no achievement
I suppose one must assume that the award of this achievement is completely random and you just have to be lucky to get it awarded, I cannot think of any other explanation for the all the above posts
bugged for me too as described above
bugged for me too for some reason I cant even get past the “clear Concordia” scene, after I finish clearing out the mobs cant get the dialogue scene with Tactician Art to continue the instance to trigger and the whole event stops so I cant even get to try this achievement now. Tried repeating it several times as well keeps happening definitely bugged for me
I just wanted to say a huge thank you to all the players involved in this. I was there and had the best time ever in guild wars 2, it was a pleasure and an honor. A special thanks to all the commanders for their hard work, dedication and effort in leading us and teaching us about this encounter (especially Chiiwii, Kehxd and my commander the one and only TeamAgent – the phrase “… do not go near the wurm, do not touch the wurm, do not even think about the wurm unless I say so…” will never be forgotten!)
same here for me still happening
is that the 1st or the 5th Nov – I suspect the 1st which means will miss out this year have to say has been great fun anyway
I am currently on 4/5 on the mad king title but will be away on the 31st Oct on a holiday. Dos anyone know if the Act 4 “attend the party” finale on the 31st will last until the official end of halloween (5th Nov)? Really would like the title but expect to miss out if not – unless it gets carried over until next year.
