Guild Wars 2

Just completed them within 6 minutes with TTS, no achievement:

Yes – I was there too and we killed all 3 knights in like 5:05, and no achievement qq!!

Was there too. Epic kill again but sadly, no achievement for anyone.

I am getting really tired of having to do this almost every evening in HOPES that is has been fixed, only to be disappointed.

Ditto was there. NO achievement

And the really big issue here is that the achievement is presumably going away with next Tuesday’s patch, and a lot of folks like myself may not be able to complete it due to a game bug totally outside of their control (for me this would be the first LS achievement I’ve not completed)…

Was there as well, helped burn blue in under a minute.

Once green went down at like 9:05 Eastern, no achievement!

Hopefully it gets fixed.

Yup, was there, and no achievement. Just take the achievement out and award everyone 5 AP or something.

I’ve been really disappointed in trying to get this particular achievement, it can be tough enough to organize people into groups good enough to even succeed at killing them in 6 minutes and then when you do you don’t even get the achievement.

up to this one as i was also there with the red boss team.

Was there too, took down all 3 around 5mins and still no achivement…

Took down knights within the 6 minutes still no 6 minute cheeve:(

Deso did it as well. No achiev.

Very bugged indeed!

This was roughly my 12th time getting the achievement, but not getting the achievement. An all around disappointment, a week in and this thing has been bugged since day one.

Was with them also wish this would get fixed soon.

One more try , one more time no achiev.

I thank you for the nerf, I actually made to scarlet on half filled OF and at home we managed to get it done in 5:40 or so. Still no achieve though

Maybe it includes the first 5 minutes of invulnerability too? :-)

Wouldn’t be the first time we have to kill something while it’s invulnerable! coughwurmheadcough

Joking aside, this could be the fault in Anets design atm, it may start the clock on their spawn and not on their event trigger.

i dont understand why anet wont listen….. we didnt need a nerf to the knights…. we need them to fix this broken content…

honestly would not surprise me. wouldn’t be the worst/most obvious error they have made with content. I still have nightmares about the karka events.

Nice to hear its still bugged. Just automatically give everyone that achievement anet. Pretty much everyone that has that achievement got it through the bug that was randomly given by killing only one knight in under 6 minutes what will be fair is to just give us all that achievement. Personally i did the knights in under 6 minutes about 10 times by guesting to servers and got nothing due to the bug. I just gave up. Please give everyone that achievement IF u want to be fair. I just gave up to tired to rage about not getting the achievement.

Pretty sure the timer for this achievement starts when the knights spawn.

So to qualify for it you have to kill them in 1 minute (since the first 5 minutes after their spawn they just idle around).

Look at this screen from reddit-user snyler:

Green died in <1 minute there and some people got the achievement.

The achievement clearly reads defeat all six knights after the EVENT starts, not when they spawn. The event window does not even pop up until on the hour. They probably received the achievement just like all the other people who have received the bugged version, by chance. Doing it under a minute is probably only coincidence.

Just because a tooltip says something doesn’t mean it’s coded that way. They could have easily tied the timer to the spawn by mistake, because dev #1 made the achievement first and then dev #2 decided it should spawn 5 minutes early for visibility.

So the achievement requires all 3 knights to be killed in under 60 secs?
That’s not UN-realistic at all, why give us whole 60 secs? Why not make it 1 sec?

Can an Anet Dev confirm that the timer on the knights start right when they spawn?
So in other words, first 5 mins the knight is invulnerable?

I was part of that TTS run. Me and one other person got the achievement. That means 2 out of ~100 players who were there were successful. That’s not good.

So Ive completed it 4 times now under 6 mins with my lovely TTS guildies and still no achievement.

Except that doesn’t necessarily prove that the timer starts when they spawn. I’m not say that it doesn’t either. There could be something else going in and the fact that they defeated it in under six minutes could be what triggered credit for some players.

Done under 6minutes on Desolation 18:05… 2 out of 150 on the Map got the achievement.
So yes, still bugged -.-

Christ, even with the 25% reduced health, it seems only TTS (or desolation) is able to kill them in less than 6 minutes still. The fastest I’ve been since is in JQ main in 8 minutes.

This achievement is awful.

I can confirm I was on Deso last try (25 minutes ago), all 3 knights killed within 6 minutes, 2 random people out of 150 got the achievement.

Does not seem linked to kill within 60 seconds, the 3 knights were killed between minutes 3:00-5:30. It also seems “consistent”, if you can call it that, as apparently 1-2 people out of 150 are getting it every try.

Confirmed – Only 2 people can get the achievement per successful run. That’s some wacky bug. It’s like I won the lottery, and my prize is the shame of not being able to share it with my TTS guildies. I’d gladly give up this achievement if no one else in my group can get credit where credit is due.

How many times have you tested the two people per run? Do we remember how many on previous runs got credit per attempt?

Kill on 20:05 Deso, only two got the achievement, lets see what happens 21.05 )hopefully(

TTS and Deso should get a unique title: Beta Testing Gurus.

Since you’re the only other organized group besides TTS that can consistently do this, could you try something? Could you have one person, who doesn’t have the achievement, tag each knight so that they get event credit for each one? I want to see if they messed up the programming and for whatever reason we’re required to participate in all three in a single run to get credit.

We did it 3 times today on Desolation (main) and nothing…
I am sorry but we cant camp this event for 2 weeks in expectation for a fix… Can u please give us that achievement, or just remove it… I thinkg 5 attempts are enought for me, and I dont think we are all robots to be force doing this over and over again for nothing at all…

ArenaNet, do one favour to all players: remove the achievement.
There’s no point to have it in game, not being able to complete when some people got it randomly (via some bugs).

TY.

I think sending out an in game mail with an item that would grant the achievement when used would be better. If it’s removed and some people got an AP point chest due to it, it means there could be issues of them earning the same chest twice when they get some more achievement points again.

It would be great if ANet could do something for us here.

As I’ve stated in other threads, I (and undoubtedly many others) can’t be on during primetime every night hoping to make it to the right LA instance whenever (if?) this gets fixed – and the fact a lot of us have already killed the knights within 6 minutes without being awarded the achievement just makes things that much more annoying.

The annoying thing about this achievement isn’t that no one is able to get it, nor is it that supposedly only one or two can get it each successful attempt. What makes this unbearable is that the majority of the people with this achievement received credit without even killing ALL three bosses. For AP hunters this is the worst case scenario since you cannot legitimately acquire these points but others get them without even being successful.

Well luckily they found the bug and we’ll have a fix soon. So it’s just a matter of beating the event in under 6 minutes.

Hell yeah!
