Guild Wars 2

So I know a lot of people got this while it was glitched (getting it for no reason after only killing one) but for those who have yet to get it im sure you are like myself wondering where the hell do we go to get stuck in a group of people who actually TRY for this… Half the time im reading in the chat box things like “We got this 1 min and 10% left we got this!” or “Ommmmgggg sooo close” when roughly 9 mins ago I had lost hope for what I was originally there for. Can anyone direct people who try, to a server or group of people who also try?

Why bother, even those who DO it are not getting the achieve because it’s broken.

But to answer the question. You must join a mega guild that opens their own overflow and actually prepares for the event instead of mingling with “WHERE’S PETER” and “ANYONE FOR SPIDER! DON’T LET IT EAT A COCOON!”

There is no try.

The achievement is still bugged and not being awarded correctly. The only way to get it now is still via RNG

Wait till fix, if any.

Lmao though discouraging, I completely understand Where’s Peter for example I have heard more than anything and is getting sooo frusterating hearing it during the knights events… I want this fix sooo bad… Only achievement I missed from living stories would be 2-3 from first wintersday and the 8x thing with Liadri… I really hate missing these achievements! ><

Yep, I hate A-Net decision to dump TIME LIMITED achievements that requires the rest of the players around you to be competant when 9/10 joe do w/e they want and couldn’t careless, die and stay dead. You have zero control on what they do and they bring you down.

But srsly, A-net stop tying in “TIME LIMITED” achievements into groups zerg cooperation. No one has the time to sit around hours and hours a day until you filter out all the bottom of the barrel players out of the map and get some players who give a kitten .

Agreed… cant tell you how man y times I have spammed The Vigil Buff for people to come get, just so I can litteraly get answers like “I’m to lazy to go get the buff can’t you just bring them to us”? <—- no joke I got that answer and almost blew a blood vessel… If people got that + the Scarlet Potion + A good to descent consumable (which Ive spent close to 7g on Feast of Orrian Steak Dinner’s) we would stand a chance…

Now that’s just sad, Aeon. So sad that it must be true.

To be honest, I don’t get the Vigil buff anymore (outside of organised TTS attempts) because I haven’t seen it make a noticeable impact on my DPS. There’s only a 10% chance of it proccing, followed by a 15 second cooldown. It’s far too unreliable and since you’re mostly ranging the Knights, you can’t really get a good return from it. Just feels like a waste of 5 silver most times.

While I have not gotten the achievement, I can confirm that a 6 minute kill is possible for a knight as a group of 27 (3 were AFKing) managed to down the green knight with almost a minute to spare.

It does seem like the knights do scale down as all the faster kills I’ve seen were all groups of only around 25-30 people, but ones that knew how to dodge and were not spamming conditions in the first and third phases.

I’m thinking the 6 minute kills would be easiest with evenly spread groups of around 25 people that know the mechanics. When past 30 people the knights seem to scale terribly and draw out a lot and never finish with more than 5 minutes remaining, though that could be more a case of there always being 20+ bodies being fairly useless for DPS spamming conditions on everyone when the groups are a full 50.

Also, with a group of only 10-15 with people playing well the fights still seem to take twice the time they should. It seems to me like the knights start set for a group of 20-25 and scale up from there. Of all the times I’ve seen people pile in to green after blue dies, the only times it has sped up kill speed was when the group was less than 20 strong (or 25-30 strong but had at least 10 people doing nothing but getting downed repeatedly).

Of course all this is speculation given that that the 6 minute kill could have been a fluke since all 24 people there seemed to be skilled at dodging and must have been doing reasonably good DPS.

I killed the green knight with +/- 50 man in 2 and a half minutes, other two knight were killed within those 6 mins and still no achievement for me

Yes, they organised this in an overflow

You must be lucky. I’ve done the knights for pretty much every hour over the weekend (so around 12 attempts each day) and have to be in one where we haven’t taken nearly the whole time to kill the knight(s). I still don’t get how you’re supposed to kill them is such a short amount of time.

Most of the fast kills so far have been with the bugged scaling.
