Impossible Achievements - Bring Back Boss Hunts

[ Edited ]
★★★ Guide

Some achievements are impossible to get now, since the Mystery Portal doesn't play those gamemodes anymore. Stuff like Boss Hunts and Cats vs. Dinos aren't in the Mystery Portal Playlist so it makes it impossible to 100% GW2's achievements. Not to mention that Community Challenges have been discontinued so it's impossible to get those achievements too. Would it be possible to change the Mystery Portal schedule, and bring back Community Challenges so that new players can earn them?


Achievements listed below are unobtainable:

  • Boss Battle (Boss Hunt)
  • Boss Battle Specialist (Boss Hunt)
  • Boss Battle Boss (Boss Hunt)
  • Open the Door Get on the Floor (Cats. Vs. Dinos)
  • Alright Meow (Cats Vs. Dinos)
  • Team Player (Community Challenge)
  • Together We Win (Community Challenge)

Even if these were to remain permanently unobtainable, what if they altered the achievements on all platforms so that all players can still obtain them?

How would they alter them? These achievements were made for special actions/gamemodes.

Well, they would probably need complete reworks. For instance, the Cats vs Dinos achievements could be obtainable in Infinity Time instead, the Boss Hunt achievements could be obtainable in Garden or Graveyard Ops instead, and the Community Challenge achievements could be obtainable in the Town Hall or through playing Multiplayer instead. The actual achievements could be changed in a way that they can be completed to adapt to these different gamemodes.

They should literally just add the game-modes into the mixed mode playlist. I cannot understand why they refuse to touch the game. People still actively play it and surely some still pay for the microtransactions

True, I also don't get why did the town hall change from being weekly to being only monthly for 10 days and with most of the Super Mix Modes never showing up in the Mystery Portal.

 

For like at least 1 or 2 years the only modes that are in the Mystery Portal are Get-Off-My-Lawn-A-Thon Part 1/Part 2, Rando's Rapid Revenge, To Heal Or Not To Heal, Tactical Team-up, Legends of the Brawl and Capture the Taco (with Capture the Taco literally only showing up once a year, last year we got it only in April and I assume we will get it again this year in April but that's it).

 

Many modes like Soil Survivors, Boss Hunt, Snack Attack, Farewell Taco, Cats vs Dinos, etc. are literally gone, they never show up anymore.

 

Most event NPCs are also no longer showing up, only the sleepy bat for Lawn of Doom.

Since they have to go and reactivate Rux, this would be the perfect time to bring the modes people need back as well. The mystery portal hasn't been that interesting for some time now, and getting the modes people need for achievements as well as modes people really liked, like capture the taco and soil survivors would be great. 

 

I'd love to have Rux sell legendary consumable items and the community hats people are still missing too, since I can't see the challenges coming back which is too bad. I used to check the progress-o-meter on my phone while at work to see how we were doing. I miss how engaged we all were in GW2's heyday; BfN never reached that level of excitement and enjoyment; getting even just some of that back for GW2 would be amazing.

They should also make legendary character stickers and the Torchwood/Hover-Goat costumes obtainable through Rux again. There's literally no way to get the latter and I'm sure new players would prefer to directly buy pieces of legendary characters instead of fishing for them in 35K packs.

they wont even go to the effort of replying to our requests. I've read months worth of these requests, and they still continue to pretend we don't exist. But if they DO bring it back, my faith in them will be restored, it will show me that they do listen and that they do care. But because they continue to ignore us and refuse to simply bring back a mode back that most (if not all) of the community adores, tells me that they don't care about us, and we are nothing to them ):

 

I just hope they bring back boss hunts.
