I did whole story from start, ended in point of no return, but caithes recon squad didnt count in... i didnt do any puprple story... full clears. So where is that "no problem" ?
"Point of No Return" is next week. As far as not getting credit then you'd be the first. Those who did the story from the beginning of the episode got credit when they spoke with the NPC after the instance. Those who entered from the purple marker did not get credit because the story does not progress by completing it that way and the NPC after the instance was unavailable. Anet made changes this week to provide credit by just completing the instance itself.

Otherwise known as the return to some of the most tedious story content ever created, especially glints memory, or whatever that part is called.
If you think that's tedious, just wait.

If you need obsidian shards then the optimal way to farm berries on the Bitterfrost map and then convert them to unbound magic so that you can purchase the shards from the vendor. This is much quicker than farming the karma. You also used to lazily farm them by doing LS3 dailies but Anet killed that when they nerfed them.

ArcDPS wasn't made because of the enrage timers... lol

Since the new achievements of Seasons of the Dragons I have gone back doing certain achievements i had missed got to Heart of thorns act 11 finished prized possessions ok all i need now is leave it to me but no purple marker has i had already completed this without the achievement of not ressing the pact guards also wanted to do the predator's path but cannot continue throughs me back to some where else completely sort your self out please anet your making lock down worse
Now is certainly a good time to go back and do older achievements which you may have missed ok there will not be a purple marker for this because the entire story step is the instance you just need to click the City of Hope story step in the journal and choose to replay it you then can go to the green marker in north Auric Basin and enter the instance from there to do any of those achievements predator's path doesn't have achievements and takes you from the east WP down to the WP at the bottom of the map I'm not sure what your issue is with this

Seasons 4 and 5 (IBS) most likely are since they’re a part of the meta achievement which the legendary amulet is tied to.

Unless people are actually doing raids and consistently hitting the enrage timers, changing them isn’t going to do a thing. The primary cause of wipes is due to one or more players failing mechanics. When you take the total time available for the fights, and the bosses’ health points, you’ll see that the actual minim DPS to succeed is significantly lower than what average raiders do. Unfortunately the longer the fight goes on, the more mechanics players have to deal with.

This post is in response to the recent patch indicating the intention to award achievement completion credit from completing the instance itself rather than the story step. Below are some instances where there's a good chance this will not occur.
LS2E7 - No Refuge (Awarded when loading back onto the map)
LS2E8 - The Mystery Cave (Appears to trigger after the cinematic when you're loaded back onto the map)
LS3E1 - Research in Rata Novus (Appears to trigger after the cinematic when you've loaded onto the new map)
LS3E2 - Taimi's Game (Appears to trigger after you've loaded onto the new map)
LS4E6 - Descent (Credit given in an epilogue instance which appears to be separate)
LS5E2 - Voice in the Deep (Appears to be awarded in a separate instance)
LS5E4 - One Charr, One Dragon, One Champion (Appears to be awarded in a separate instance)
Below are the instances which I checked as I believe they would have future achievements tied to them through the highlight weeks. I didn't check if there were purple instances associated with them but assumed there was. If you include achievements for instances without this then be prepared for players to be upset. The bolded are the ones I had flagged above.

Episodes 1-4 had to be unlocked manually for free through the story journal for all accounts which did not have at least one level 80 character. Prior to this week's patch, only those accounts with level 80 characters were receiving the mail with the instant story unlock items.

Doesn't work, the Asura doesn't have anything to say and won't complete the mission like the Wiki says he does!
That's because the story does not progress when doing it out of order per the warning you got when going to the instance directly through the purple icon. The only way to access those steps after the instance is to progress the story up to that point.

So when you go to the achievement, the line for whichever llama that you went into close proximity to isn’t being checked off?
-
Is your mailbox full?

You walk within proximity and you get credit. Check the achievement for it.

Is there some part of this you don't understand, Ayrilana?
On a side note, I just did all the steps to this mission, and it still didn't take. Edit: You have to talk to Tactician Envoltt in the main camp for it to take and finish.😘
There's a difference between something being bugged and intending the entire story step itself to complete the achievement. The latter is how the previous two weeks functioned. If they decide to allow just the instance itself to count then sure I'll go through and flag every single story step which will have an achievement and has objectives after the instance.

I don't think so. It's currently only using around 3.2GB for me.

I believe, given that ANet has stated there are issues, that this is not working as intended.
We'll see. If they do intend for players to complete those achievements for the story steps by just doing the instances themselves, and will make adjustments to support that, then I'll go through and list every single story instance which would cause an "issue" with players who do it from the purple instance. A prime example of another being the No Refuge story step that we'll have to do next week as there are objectives after the story instance.

Even if they aren't intended for progression, they did work for all the other 5 re-released episodes so far.
Because the instances themselves completed the story step. That's why it worked for those. Checking the wiki, or checking the top right of the screen when doing the episode from the beginning, would reveal this. You're going to have this same "issue" next week with the No Refuge story steps as well.

Obviously Anet wants us to head over to the wiki every time from now on when it says "complete the mission XX", just in case they happened to have put some part of all missions they want us to complete outside of the "replay the mission XX" purple star instance of the mission. /s
Or you can just replay the story....
Even then, it's not like there are than many instance where the story instances itself doesn't complete the story step. Checking the wiki is only to save time in case there are story objectives after the instance for the story step. The whole point of the purple icons was to give players to jump to the instances which had achievements in them.

Tried this and did not work for me, sadly. I will probably try a different character next, but it's extremely frustrating to have wasted the time.
Also, using the violet markers worked before, so it doesn't make sense that it wouldn't work here too? Is there a way to access the green markers aside from playing through the whole story? This is the only way I know to do that.
As I said in my post, there are steps after the instance. Doing the instance through the purple icons does not progress the story per the warning you receive when trying to enter. Since it doesn't progress the story then you do not have access to those story steps upon leaving the instance.

You are not understanding the problem, obviously, since what you just stated is what is NOT happening right now. Please stop.
You’re claiming an issue when there isn’t one.
I also responded to another post of yours where you’re doing it from the purple instance. So…

So I did the old achieves a few weeks ago, just before the season we re-released, and I know exactly how the missions run. At the time I replayed the whole thing from the start because I didn't realize there were purple replay points (those are new relative to when I last played ~7 years ago). At any rate, I know exactly what comes after Caithe's Recon mission. However after completing this from the purple replay point, the NPC I needed to talk to was not there when I was ported back to the camp. I repeat, he was NOT THERE. The mail I received after the mission was from Marjory, also unrelated to this issue.
Yes I will be replaying this whole series in order beginning with Salma now, since it's not working correctly, with "correctly" being based on how this has worked for the other new achieves the last couple of weeks. Please stop pointing people to the order of events in the wiki - that order is not happening if you started directly from the replay point for Caithe's Recon mission, or at least not reliably so if you've done the story before. Pointing people to a story step that isn't triggering isn't accomplishing anything other than pointing out that you don't understand the issue occurring.
It’s working correctly as it has for the past seven years. The purple icons/instances are for replaying specific story instances for achievements only. They are not intended to progress the story from whatever point you take. You’re even given a warning about this as well. If you want to progress the story because the story step includes open world objectives the. You have to replay the story from the beginning.-

This is just kitten design for us who already have everything completed. Embarrasing. Same thing with the Llama thing. Guess i'll wait till next week again. kitten off.
The episode was released like 7 years ago and the intention of the achievements is to get players to do the episodes again. You know, Anet could instead make it so that every single episode’s story requires a full clear instead of giving those who had already completed them the option to skip to the majority of the instances to get credit.-

Complete ALL of the objectives which includes those after the instance.
https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Caithe's_Reconnaissance_Squad
If you're doing the episode from the start, and thus have the green icon when going through the instance, you can quickly tell in the top right of the screen as to whether that story step is complete after coming out of the instance. If there are other steps... do them.

Notice the last two sections in bold with objectives. Those obviously occur outside of the instance.

Equine Mount
in Guild Wars 2 Discussion
Posted
You’re more likely to see a new skin rather than a new mount. The chance of there being a new mount is incredibly low and will be practically nonexistent once the next expansion is out.
