Final demolitionist escorts seldomly start, even when you use work arounds 90% of players aren't aware of it can still bug out. And if you do manage to use the work-arounds you can't become eligble for the portal spike achievement. This is a map meta event that after so many years still doesn't work. Would love to hear from Anet why it hasn't or if it ever will.

Yep, still doesn't work. Same issue. iDeal doesn't work either, but then again it never did :p.

This post basically concerns two issues, with some overlap. One, lately I am noticing that when I want to replay a story chapter for the achievements, more often than I have to start from scratch again. Regardless of whether I choose "Continue or replay episode" I don't get any of the familiar purple instances which you can use to replay for achievements, not without doing the whole episode from the first part again. Secondly, I was wondering how other people feel about this, but wouldn't it be at all possible that, when you replay for achievemtns, to bring you straight back to the relevant bit that gives achievements? It can be very galling that sometimes you have an instance where you have to commit to 15 minutes of dialogue, fluff npc's before finally getting to the bit where you qualify for the actual achievements. Some of the achievements only take one mis-step to loose....to then have to go through the same 15 minutes of fluff and npc fights again is just taking away from the enjoyment of the game or the attempt to get the achievements. Living World Season 2, episode 'The Mystery Cave' comes to mind.

I was hoping for some input and/or change on this. For the raiders of the last Parts achievement, as it stands, you have to do the whole story over again from scratch to become eligeble for the achievement again. Even when you have completed the story already. It would be nice if this story instance got its separate, replayable instance. Unless there is another way around I am unaware of?

7th of August, joined different instances through world boss events. Waited for an hour on several occasions. Still an issue, which is disheartening considering the date of the OP.
