Guild Wars 2

Yeah I’ve just did the last story instance in the tower. I’ve defeated the Krait Hybrid and none of my party members died, yet I didn’t get any of the two achievements(the one regarding defeating Hybrid without dying and no progress on the “Tower Hybrid Slayer”).

Is it a bug or did I misunderstood something?

I just completed it as well with no achievement updates; however I did it solo, so maybe that has some bearing on whether it registers or not.

Same here no one died, no downstate too.

Same here. Did it with a group. We didn’t get neither the hybrid slayer nor the hybrid master achievements.

Same here, I made it solo and didn’t get in downstate. No achivements.

Did you do the Story mode first? That should unlock the achievement which can be unlocked in Explorable mode. Although if Cowa solo’d it, I don’t think that you would be subject to running someone else’s Explorable mode.

I killed the toxic hybid alone without party members and without dying and got no achievement for any kill.. only for the injection after the fight :/

same here achivments bugged soloed him without dying and haven’t got the achiv of not dying + even the kill only the potion use at the end ..

So to be clear, we need to go into the instance again and defeat the hybrid again to get the achievement?

Yes, the ‘Tower Hybrid Slayer’ and the ‘Tower Hybrid Master’ achievements are for repeat runs of ‘The Nightmare Incarnate’ instance.

Fair enough, but that’s not reflected in the description of the achievement.

So I have to kill the dude, before I can unlock achievements regarding killing the dude? Bravo…

Yeap it is working at 2. run.

Well at least something. Still, it’s stupid that to unlock achievement about killing the hybrid you have to KILL THE HYBRID.

It’s like you’re not even trying in there Anet :P

Not sure about having to do it a second time to complete the achievement but I did it solo and 1 of the npcs did die but was ressed by the other npc and I did not get the achievement, so I guess that COULD mean that the npcs count as party members.

Gotta love all the replies from people who didn’t bother to read the dev comments…

but… I agree, this was really faulty logic on your part Anet.

Don’t be surprised by that, they keep using Scarlet as an antagonist….

As for the Krait Hybrid, we’ll all kill it multiple times before this event is over.

Given that we have to kill him 3 times for the chieve, the story mode unlock seems a bit redundant and more confusing the necessary.

Just did Hybrid for the 2nd time, no one died during the encounter, no one got credit for the achievement. So even though it’s not bugged to unlock it… it is bugged to get credit.

Oh I read it, but you know it wouldn’t be the first time where I have seen even Devs getting things wrong in games before.

We did the dungeon THRICE now…
First time, my mate died… okay, but it was the first run so… doesn’t matter…
Second run, we both died… so well…
THIRD run, 5 People this time. ONE single downed, no one dying throughout the whole dungeon, and no one of us got the mini, nor the achievement…

It’s starting to get really annoying…

Autumn Frazee.3158:

Did anyone die during the entirety of the instance? The achievement tracks deaths in all three Watchwork/Hallucination rooms and the Toxic Hybrid room. It does not count downed states, but it does count every player death for the whole instance.

I was running solo, and I surely didn’t die a single time. Maybe my pet did, but… well, if it counts, it sucks.

Just did it solo a second time, no deaths, got my mini so I can’t see how it would be bugged for anyone.

“so I can’t see how it would be bugged for anyone.”

Wait, it didn’t bug you YOU, so you can’t see how it would be bugged for anyone?

In general no. I’m sure if others were bugged there would be a ton of posts about it by now.

Is it bugged for you or are you just trolling?

EDIT: I just checked the bugs forum and there are another 2 people who claimed to be bugged by this so it is possible of course. If so MY bad for not checking the bugs forum in the first place, where this probably should have been.

Not to be nitpicky… but the achievement says defeat the Toxic Hybrid without dying… if it’s going to track any death throughout the whole instance, perhaps the achievement text should be changed to Don’t die in the entirety of the instance.

Because I really really wanted to do it again and again

That’s A-Net logic for ya. If you cannot get those achievements on the first run, wouldn’t it make sense to gray out those achievements until the first achievement is obtained?

Nothing about the decision to lock the achievement until you’ve done the instance once makes sense (to me anyway, it’s possible they have some reason for it).

Personally I don’t see why doing it on the first try shouldn’t count. What is different about doing it twice? I know this is an MMO and MMO devs try to fit in as much pointless repetition into the game as possible, but this is a little confusing.

Mauti.3520:

Makes sense, u have to kill him to complete the dungeon to unlock the challenge that u ’ve killed him. rolleyes

Yeah! I mean, the two achievements were locked until you completed the Injection achievement, and even said that that was what you had to do to get them unlocked on them. It was absolutely clear!

Confirmed that one my second pass through, I got the mini .

Three runs with a group… solo is doable, but group was silly easy.

I got downed and still got the achievement.

Um, so I take it the ‘story’ version and the ‘explorable’ version of this are one in the same? Just the first time through is considered ‘story’?

We had a 5 man group, and people who did it for the first time didn’t get the achievement for the mini, everyone else did.

There are slight differences in subsequent trys tho, th emost notably one being absence of NPC’s. Last boss fight seemed a bit different too.
