Isa Belle.4208 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 So I have tried getting the "The Whole Story" achievement two times already, on both tries lost the achievement eligibility when the memory of Balthazar appeared in the very end. Am I missing something or is it bugged? Pretty annoying since the achievement is time-consuming to repeat anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glacial.9516 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Exact same thing happened to me. The moment Balthazar spawns eligibility disappears. Tried it twice as well. Both times I checked to see if I got credit (assuming I had) and both times did not. I assumed it was bugged, but it sounds like some were able to complete it.

Daggerel.2173 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Same thing happened to me. Just tried for a third time now. This also happened to other guildies. I am sick and tired of devoting time to this and then getting a game client time-out right at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sithis.3564 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Did it twice, it breaks at Balthazar.EDIT.Indeed the fault is in the last memory with Batlhazar. DO NOT, I reapet DO NOT go past the last stairs. Simply stop where "Your purpose" lands. Two times I ran straight to the same level as Balthazar and it failed. The fact the there are flames and smoke on the way up doesn't help either. This needs fixing, small adjustment in range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boogiepop Void.6473 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I've gone through this whole chapter 5 times (which means I had to fight the boss over and over because the chapter is too long without any breaks), watching EVERYTHING over and over. It still won't award. Either there is something outright broken or the meaning of "watch everything" is so finicky that it's almost impossible to get it to give you the achievement.

nottsgman.8206 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I think this is the thread godsie was referring to (Sithis.3564's post):https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/4822/possible-spoilers-pof-story-the-departing-the-whole-story-achievement-buggedIndeed the fault is in the last memory with Batlhazar.

Isa Belle.4208 Posted September 26, 2017 Author Share Posted September 26, 2017 Thanks a lot, finally worked for me too. :) Should still be adjusted in my opinion since it's very easy to miss the achievement with the range requirements so tight, even when you do watch all memories which is what it's about after all.

Charrbeque.8729 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 The achievement 'The Whole Story' wasn't granted in 'The Departed' story step, even though I completed the requirements.I had the buff showing I qualified for the achievement all the way until I got to the final memory thing (Balthazar on top of the hill). Immediately as the Balthazar memory despawned, my character flashed and had a sound effect as if I leveled up and the achievement buff was removed (my mastery XP bar wasn't even full, nor do I have all PoF masteries fully maxed out). I didn't get the achievement granted after fully completing the story step and getting the mission rewards.Sept. 28, 2017Around 12:00 am PST is when I completed part of the story on my character Dances With Salad.Edit: The flash animation and sound effect I got - instead of the achievement being granted - was the same animation and sound effect you get when using a tome of knowledge to gain a level on a character.

Ra Ra.9423 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Just completed The Departing. I watched every memory, and the achievement indicator was up the entire time. I stopped where the bird did on the next highest platform, just below where Balthazar appears. Had the same effects as described - using tome of knowledge - but no achievement.

Sithis.3564 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/comment/151654/#Comment_151654Standing on the same platform isn't enough. You need to place yourself at "your purpose", not an inch past it, not in the middle, not even near the stairs, to look Balthasar in the eyes, but simple at that damn bird ;) .I agree however that it's a bug and needs to be fixed.

Versys.8670 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 During the story mission The Departing of Path of Fire when the player discusses the offer Palawa Joko makes, right after defeating the Eater of Souls and the player says "I need your army, but I don't need you", I got disconnected. This happened 3 times in a row at the exact same moment and I am getting sick of repeating the story instance only to get disconnected near the end and not getting any story progress.

doers.3865 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Same thing has been happening to me for the last few days now too, it's very frustrating. I hope they can fix it soon, we can't get our griffon mounts without the story. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musaroxy.2874 Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 This happened to me around the same time this post was made, in the same spot, and I can confirm that it is still happening, be it a little later in the story when The cinematic of the Commander's return to life plays. It blocks the progress to finish the quest and has happened twice in a row now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juderp.6125 Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 I've had this:Once after the dragon is meant to swoop in for your rescueTwice after telling Joko you don't need himI have no incentive to try again if this bug still isn't fixed in nearly a month! This is not enjoyable or dramatic and it's blocking progress toward the griffon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PickledGherkin.6928 Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 I've had this happen 5 or 6 times now. I can't be bothered wasting 15-20 odd minutes. I was enjoying being back for elona after a time away. But this is the 3rd story quest that I've had disconnect problems with. I think it might be time for a sabbatical again until a fix is ready.

Juderp.6125 Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 If you look through the forums this problem has been around since the launch of Path of Fire. I wouldn't hold my breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karmapolice.4193 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Hooray, disconnected at the very end while talking to Joko. Immediately get back in game and I'm expected to start the entire mission over from before the Balthazar fight? What a flipping joke! Why is there no grace period to relog, I was back in game in less than 5 seconds? Why are there no checkpoints? Why can't any of this dialogue be skipped? Why is it ONLY during story missions when an npc is talking that I disconnect? Why can't you reward the mission as complete as soon as I finish the last thing I need to do, instead of after 5 minutes of npc yapping after the last boss is dead? Why am I still playing this game?

Tricky.1538 Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Why is this not fixed yet? Disconnected twice at the very end. What a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaleban.9834 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Can confirm, happened to me twice now as well.How is it that ANet can't fix a bug with the MAIN STORY of their expansion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vardok.8609 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 The exact same thing happened to me at the exact same time... I have also gotten random disconnects in other story instances... But this one especially made me lose a lot of time :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
