Between a Rock and a Hard Place & Behind the Enemy Lines

[Elim]

I'm not great at explaining things like this, so please bare with me. I'm unsure if this should go in bugs, here or anywhere...

I'm reporting the PvP achievements Between a Rock and a Hard Place and Behind the Enemy Lines.


They're both worded exactly the same.

"Guide any of the three Grand Companies to a total of (number) (PvP mode) victories."

First place victories in multiple Grand Companies count towards the Between a Rock and a Hard Place achievement. So if I have 30 wins in Twin Adders and 30 wins in Immortal flames, my total achievement progress will be 60/100.

However for Behind the Enemy Lines only 200 wins in a single Grand Company count towards this achievement. Meaning if I have 30 wins in Twin Adders and 30 wins in Immortal Flames, my total achievement progress will be 30/200.


It's very odd that the achievements work differently when they're worded the same.

Ah, yes, I remember this. JP text for these achievements was made identical back in May. Before making the change, I tried to verify spec was identical, was told it was...except apparently it wasn't, and JP was ninja fixed in July. Hmph. Excuse me while I fix this for 3.1 and track down the dev who forgot to send a mail...

The achievement name, Behind Enemy Lines, makes sense for it to only count for one Grand Company. It's implying you're now fighting on a former enemy's side. It's strange that they would make it identical. I guess they were considering ways to help the low PVP participation but went back on that specific decision.

So does this mean that the achievement "Behind enemy lines" has been wrongly worded all along (for a LONG time.. like since ADS mount was added in 2.5), or that it should in fact be totalling all wins from the 3 GCs?

My best guess is "Behind the Enemy Lines" is working properly right now. The wording on one or both of the achievements will probably be changed.

It would be REALLY nice if all our wins counted towards the ADS mount though. It kind of sucks that they don't. >.< ... Anyway, enough with my QQ!

I'm glad this is being addressed. Thanks for the reply, Corvinoobus!
