Guild Wars 2

It may seem straight forward—at first, but the wording on the AR achievement for Personal Space is causing confusion, and not just with me.

First column—-Avoid Horrik’s area attacks while fighting him.—-Fair enough—until you read the second column

Avoid area attacks while fighting Horrik.—Which area of attacks? Horriks or the general bombardment that covers the entire area? Reading the second column in conjunction with the first could be read either way. Also as Horrik fires his AOE, if you are standing in the path of the projectile, you can be hit—does THAT discount getting the achievement?

And yeah, the wording was very ambiguous, and it wasn’t until a dev confirmed the exact requirements in that thread that people understood what was really needed to get the achievement.

Then there was another response via ticket that said something else, in the same topic.

The problem with the explanation you linked is that many still cannot get it, even though they avoided said attacks. I personally can attest to having avoided every single barrage phase shot via stealth, and no achievement. This leads to confusion about the requirements, and whether or not it was a bug or not.
