Guild Wars 2

Sometimes when holding a crystal during the Liadri fight they suddenly disappear for no reason.

The crystals only stay up for a short time, whether you’ve picked them up or not. You need to pick them up, get into a good position and throw them ASAP.

I think it’s to stop people kiting around until they have 8 on the floor and then throwing them all in one go for the achievement.

I find that the crystal throw is bugged as some times it doesnt activate after I hit 1 and click for the ground target, instead it makes me stand in one place for about a sec which in this unfair game means insta death.

I suspect the crystals disappearing after a short amount of time is the source of why some people are reporting that the 8 crystals achievement is bugged on Liadri. It’s because the crystals are disappearing right as they throw them (or even as the crystal’s flying through the air), so even though the animation plays, Liadri hasn’t actually registered as being hit with a crystal.
