Problem with the Bleakrock achievement?

Tweek · April 2014

I was trying to go back and get the last survivor I was missing(Geillund) however as it turns out I cannot get this quest anymore as bleakrock is war ravaged. How do I fix this and is there any way for me to find this survivor anymore. I have also already completed escape from bleakrock if it matters.

Also how do you know if you have finished all the quests in a zone?

All folks you leave behind during evacuation were KILLED
You cant complete this achievement anymore
Only "fix" for this is rerolling new char

In most zones you dont need to finish all quest -only 69 cos you get achievement for this. There is more then 69 quests in most zones
From my experience - in Beta i got Dashaan Quest achievement, and i still have something like 6 quest unfinished (they were broken anyway)

Do you get anything for finishing all the quests anyway?

Also are the quests that give out skill points miss-able?

Thank you

I too left Geilland behind.

My only objection to this achievement opportunity is that it is supposed to be completed so early in the game that any brand new player will be non-the-wise to it. When I was doing the quests in Bleakrock I was over-whelmed with all of the "basic" stuff such as studying my class, figuring out what skyshards are for, attempting to figure out how to craft, using a new navigation and UI screen and so on, that the last thing on my mind was whether or not there are achievements in this game.

Now that I am level 36 I feel as though I am getting a grasp on things. That being said, I want to be thorough, so I want to get all of the achievements and I want to get them as I am in the areas where they are completed. I need to go back to Bleakrock and a couple of other areas to get those achievements before I continue to the next new area. But is it true? That single achievement will sit in my achievements list grayed-out forever?!?!?!

That just does not seem right. (The option to re-role at this point is silly.) Maybe this thread can get some attention, and then if we're lucky the developers will change things so that people can go back and at least find Geilland's body. (After they fix everything else that's wrong first of course =P)

First off Star Wars is awesome love the name, secondly yeah hopefully the devs will alter this so that at some point we can go back and get the achievement.

Why would they? They made a point of including quests where you actually make decisions; it would make a mockery of that if they let you go back in time and change your mind.

You are asked "are you sure you've found everyone" when you choose to evacuate early. That should be a prompt to take another run over this very small island and see what you missed. It was for me at least.

Yeah I tend to agree......just sucks to miss achievements. Maybe they will change it and maybe they won't idk. Either way there's always alts

Non-reversable choices are always indicated by red text. There was no red text here. Even though the argument that new players won't fully grasp this is enough.

You should be able to complete your achievement even though you already have evacuated.

Hey sorry to dig up an old article was reading through wondering about the same thing myself not sure if its fixed since the last post but you can share any quest on bleakrock with anyone at any time provided they have not already completed it

But an alt has its own achievements. i mean they are not account wide but character wide so...

Kinda sucks that black house will remain black on the map forever

I agree with "choices" but it should only affect in game relations with npc and the world not achievements lol. I think something is broken.

A word from the mods would be welcomed. This isn't the only thread about this. Heck, i made one myself some time ago i think.

Well, they give you a choice - save everyone and spend time or leave earlier. If you choose the 1st option - you get the achievement, if you choose the 2nd one - you save some time.

I believe, it's intended that you can't go back. And it doesn't affect the game balance. After all, it's just a single achievement, it's not even a part of another achievement.

Does it affect the title "pact hero"? cuz i have all achievement in ebonhart except for bleackrock one and i didnt recieved the title.

You just get the achievement, nothing special about it, really.

Interesting. I wonder if it would work. Thanks for the idea.
