One Sassy Cat.3094

Same here! Mine happened after I completed the Febe strike mission.

New issue... I put all the items into the forge and it worked. Got the achievement for the collection and everything. Yet there's no item in my inventory so I can't complete the quest.

Will they help if the item was deleted by accident?

I spent nearly an hour doing events in the Bastion of the Celestial and not a one counted toward the story achievement, including the Dagda event chain. Is this bugged or is there a single, specific event that has to be done for the credit?

Everything moves too fast to do Behemoth 3. A map shouldn't have to organize to literally throw the meta to do an achievement.

It's now impossible. There's not enough events before people make it to and complete the third section. It was bugged and not giving credit, now you have to ask a map to sabotage itself to do an achievement? Didn't Anet learn this was bad...?

I was finally able to do it, but it took 5 times for ranger and 3 for guardian. Mine were definitely the first each day as well since I only do them once like I'd mentioned. It really feels bugged and I hope they are able to fix it. I'm glad I'm not alone, and I hope they find success soon. That's a long meta to have mess up. 😞

What if it has been the first time doing it that day? I'm getting the daily reward chest that now drops but not the second chest which contains the items. All other classes have been getting 2 bouncy chests each time. I had not even done Kaineng in 3 weeks before trying it on my guardian without any success, and the very first time I did Kaineng was also on my guardian at release and I got no credit despite having the collection unlocked.

Yes, it's the very first time that I've done the meta. I only try the meta once per day as it's all the patience I have to spend an hour on something for no credit (or six hours in total at this point across the two characters). I've tried being a Willbender and a firebrand, I've tried being there for the full meta and getting gold credit every step of the way... I only ever get the single bouncy chest for doing it the first time that day and not the second chest as my other classes have been receiving.

I have now completed Kaineng twice on my Willbender and Seitung four times on my ranger. I have yet to receive the collection achievement credit. Is this going to be fixed? It's been bugged since launch and not being able to complete anything is very frustrating.

Is this what is happening? I've tried to form up early to protect the turtles and both times the map stalled out. I still map hop to get people their cloth and other achieves, but that's frustrating to know it hinges on other active events. 😞

I've tried to form a group early for two days now to get the achievement for protecting the turtles, but when the Fort Aspenwood event should kick off... nothing happens. The turtles show up, the NPCs talk, but no one moves and the shields can't be taken out. I still swap maps to help people with the other associated achievements, but it's frustrating to have it stall out twice when trying to be prepared for an achievement that requires you to be ready at the start. I feel bad commanding when the event bugs out and we have to scramble to find a new instance to get everyone into. 😞 Anyone else having this issue?

Oh... how many things to address in here... The fact you think Anet does any type of advertising for this game on a meaningful level shows a clear lack of understanding of the field of marketing. As someone who is actually in the marketing field with years of experience, I know how much hard work companies have to put in to make themselves known as well as utilizing influencers to expand their reach even further. Anyone predating the internet will think otherwise, but those of us who watch global trends know that the future is digital and the power of marketing online is huge. Considering this game is played online, Anet can and should tap into these currently unused resources. If Anet is marketing this game, they're doing a poor job of it. If I didn't tell people about the upcoming sales on gems... none of my friends would know. That's not advertising as you claim it to be if five people know about a sale. You're mad that you're not being catered to. We get it. The game isn't up to your standards, and that's fine. But to then take that pent up anger and accuse other people of just using Anet to get rich on Twitch (lol?) is a bit over the top. When you assume the worst in people, you show the worst in yourself. Writing off an entire community of people because you hate Twitch or Youtube isn't going to gain you players. It's going to show them the dark side of the in-game community and that's really not the goal here. It's amazing to me that something as benign as playing with the community is this abrasive to the GW2 community when other games that tend to be far more toxic actually embrace it. Wild.

Havent Mukluk done it quite awhile ? He has! I know of several partners who have streamed the game for a couple of years now, and plenty more who are not partners that also actively stream the game a lot.

Another person who played since beta, was in the playtests for the new WvW maps - both, to be exact!, and owns both expansions at launch as well as having spent quite a bit on gems to help support the game. Since we seem to need credentials now, there's mine. (For the record, I'm firmly against this type of gatekeeping.) Saying that Twitch is irrelevant while touting word of mouth is a pretty terrible example. Twitch is, quite literally, word of mouth. Just today I had 2 people wander into stream asking about the game and who decided to download the free to play to test it out. Last month I had several people drop by and I know at least converted to a full game. Other streamers I know have seen the same. Is it thousands of players a month? No. But some fresh faces is still better than none, and those are just the people who talk in chat. There are a lot of people who lurk and may get into the game from watching people play. I use Twitch a lot to discover new games I might like to try. Again, no one is saying just give gem codes out on Twitch and move on. Asking Anet to better utilize a free marketing tool doesn't have to mean buying off players. A lot of spend time every stream reading off the sales or talking about the lore or discussing upcoming content to help hype it up. Having Anet back that with information we have access to and can share with our communities is free for them and can help them expand their reach.
