Guild Wars 2

A group I was in today killed the Hybrid, but I received no credit for the Tower Hybrid Slayer achieve. Still says 0/1. Did get credit for the Antitoxin injection achieve (this was the first time) so I obviously got through the instance properly which requires killing the hybrid.

Is this a bug or is there some unspoken trick to getting credit for something I actually already did?

Logging in/out did nothing?

The 1st time you run the instance doesn’t count. All subsequent attempts count towards the Tower Hybrid Slayer/Master achievements though.

sigh

I assume there’s a good reason why the first run through doesn’t count.

Hahaha…j/k. No, I’m sure there’s no good reason at all…at least outside forced grinding for achievement points. I guess it’s really all the farmers that are going to finish this antitoxin thing, anyway. Clever design.

Maybe I’ll join the crowd that reads through Dulfy guides before even bothering to tackle new content.

At least she provides useful info rather than the frequent lies of omission we get in achievement blurbs. I’ve grown weary of the trial and error crap this LW content is requiring just to figure out something that should be clearly explained in-game.

Oh, and thanks to nagr for the reference link.

It’s not a “good reason”, but I’m pretty sure that it is related to the fact that your first run is supposed to be in story mode, which is a different instance than all subsequent runs.

Aren’t those two achievements locked out until you beat him the first time anyway?

Yes and today won’t count anymore. I am not sure if Anet made this on purpose but the last day of the Ls never counts towards the achievement anymore. So if you played on an EU server that would of been the case last night, if you’re playing on an NA server then it’s most likely the reason that it was your first time and unfortunately unless this has been changed, you will not have the option anymore to finish that achievement since the new patch comes tomorrow.

If you’re referring to the daily achievement, it was for the injection and not the kill. Technically today’s should count and the tower achievements are still a go for about another 2 weeks.
