Requirements[edit]

I do not have a tab for "Current Events" under "General." What is needed to get this going?

I have ten L80 characters, 19,000 AP, and HoT. --Gold Recluse (talk) 00:19, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

I've read on reddit that the achievement only appears for some people after they get their first drop from a ddragon minion (destroyer/corrupted/etc). Perhaps try farming a few of those? -Darqam (talk) 02:45, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Unidentified_Lodestone may be needed but just doing any of the achievements will make it available, check Dulfy.net for WPs. --Skekzyz (talk) 06:44, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

New locations[edit]

In the last two days there have been three new locations added for Ley Line activity. This might make it harder to get the "Hold the Line" achievement. It might be good to get an agreement in the zone on which location will be worked by all. --Gold Recluse (talk) 18:06, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Hold the Line bugged?[edit]

Trying to get this, and done a few successful defenses where none of the ley energies died. However, still no award. Do the mobs seriously have to not touch them at all for it to award? Seylan (talk) 12:47, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

I got it by preventing any deaths (bomb kit + mortar kit blind spam ftw). Preventing them from getting hit is impossible --Gimmethegepgun (talk) 13:00, 15 May 2016 (UTC)
Yea, just did a few events where I prevented deaths and no achievement. Did they break it with the last patch or something? It's getting really frustrating. Seylan (talk) 13:08, 15 May 2016 (UTC)
The description says nothing about 'energies dying' or 'preventing deaths'. I needed six tries to get this ach't, and that was about May 6-8th. By now many players have gotten this, so the crowds are not going to be as zergy as they were at first. Plus there are more spawn locations to divide and distract those who might want the APs. Your group needs to hit every mob as it spawns and kill 'em quick. Keep at it, and best wishes. --Gold Recluse (talk) 18:53, 15 May 2016 (UTC)
The description says to prevent minions from absorbing energy, which happens when they kill one of the npcs --Gimmethegepgun (talk) 20:23, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

Daily bounties[edit]

It seems that if you take two characters and hand in encoded orders to the seraph officer at the same time, you will get the same bounty? Seylan (talk) 13:26, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

Negative. Exchanging Encoded Orders will yield a random bounty. -- Magic User Magic Icon.jpg Talk 07:07, 19 June 2016 (UTC)

Consortium vs Priory achievements[edit]

I changed descriptions of tiers, but I am not sure about higher tiers of "Researches". To be changed. The F. Prince (talk) 18:26, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

Awesome thanks! Odds are it will be the same, but no harm at all in confirming prior to checking. -Darqam (talk) 18:28, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
Confirmed higher tiers of Priory's ones. Waiting to do Consortium's ones.The F. Prince (talk) 18:35, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

Feedback 2016/11/04[edit]

Would it be helpful to have articles on some of the past Current Events like Fionna's Stockpile, Shana's Ambition, etc.? Occasionally, there are posts asking about prior Current Events, and nothing in the Wiki to guide them. Just a thought. --Inculpatus cedo (talk) 23:19, 4 November 2016 (UTC)

There is rarely anything wrong with making more detailed articles about achievements. So far they haven't been made as no wiki editor has either had the time for it, nor deemed it necessary. Personally I feel the description to be enough along with [[Guide to Current Event achievements]]. If you disagree however, feel free to make a page for them. -Darqam (talk) 23:35, 4 November 2016 (UTC)

Portal Peacemaker[edit]

According to Dulfy "Asuras, engineers and Charrs with Iron Legion background do not need to wait and can get the Portal Peacemaker achievement right away". -- Kazerniel (talk) 18:48, 10 January 2018 (UTC)

Updated, I also found it [http://leadexample.net/guild-wars-2/side-stories/current-events in this guide (with typo)] and in a comment in a thread by someone else saying this as well. Vahkris (talk) 18:58, 10 January 2018 (UTC)

I'm missing several achievements apparently? Not locked, not there![edit]

Is this normal? For example the new Lost in Transit is completely missing, even if I search for it.--Rejutka 03:36, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

As far as I know all Current Events achievements are hidden until you start making progress on them. You can use GW2Efficiency's achievement page to check which hidden achievements you still need. (It needs an API key to read your account data.) -- kazerniel (talk) 09:23, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
Not all are, but many are. Lost in Transit and Lost Invasion both are hidden, however. Konig (talk) 22:49, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

Not documented achievement[edit]

When talked to Achelle I got "Survey on Subjects of Importance 2". "Survey on Subjects of Importance" I got in "Diesa Plateau" south of the Nageling waypoint. On this moment in the tab achievements I have 10 points. While on the wiki documented 9. printskreen https://hkar.ru/WqrD

Parallel Analysis[edit]

Taimi and Gorrik are missing from the Eye of the North for me after Return to Dragonfall. Quinn Gorman (talk) 06:35, 8 November 2021 (UTC)

Did you use a character that actually did the quests? Because they were missing for me, but only for the characters who didn't actively play LS 2-3-4. -- Crazy (talk) 17:25, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
I think I did the "Replay" option, the purple star, and not the complete story. I am going to run through with the green stars and delete this section if that works.Quinn Gorman (talk) 20:07, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
I will leave this here in case anyone else finds useful. I did Season 4 with another character and the dialog was than available in the Eye of the North.Quinn Gorman (talk) 22:38, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
