All of our commanders are advertising farming Ablades, with a huge zerg of people just farming the champions. How do I get to QJ? Give up, wait another hour, work for 25m then see people are just gonna farm again and intentionally fail the event?

As an elementalist I couldn’t get the achievements.

Then I moved to my mesmer and found EXACTLY what you are saying – the farming was CONTROLLED in the zergs in the Queen’s Pavillion and some coordination could be done but THIS can’t be coordinated and nothing can be done to get the achievement by normal players – only the mega-huge damage, I-know-where-everything-is-and-I-use-insert-whatever-website-to-navigate-events monsters who outshoot, outrun and outDO us and then come back and *farm it to death so we can’t get our achievements.

This needed some organization – why couldn’t a famous NPC call you to arms and then fight with you??? GEEZE, this is frustrating!

That’s not very helpful when the majority of the time you get an overflow, and you don’t know what servers are farming until you actually manage to get a non-overflow and hit the aetherblade mark.

Which achievement you can’t finish?
At my (european) server, 2/3 of all events are successful….

Having half the map doing nothing but completing maybe a total of 4 events during the entire invasion, does. Especially when you have another 25% afk and have only 7 people trying to complete the entire event, and they can’t finish because of scaling in some of the events.

There’s only one achievement you can’t get if the zerg becomes disruptive, and that’s the one in which you defeat scarlet during an invasion. And you should still probably be able to get that one in spite of the farmers when the event is in a lower level zone. But even if you can’t (which would admittedly be very annoying, I understand) you have the rest of these two weeks worth of dailies to fill out your clockwork meta.

You still aren’t understanding the issue.

There is no way to get the achievement if you:

Don’t know which maps you have not done.

Can’t ever get Fireheart Rise.

Can’t finish and get to the rest of the achievement – The Playhouse – and all the while I see others inside the darned instance or whatever is next and many of us can’t finish – this event is too scattered and now with the “farming” it’s not getting the coordination it had in the first day, the first day I had five or six of the 16 done, now I am stuck at 9 or so…

Tick, tick, tick.

People are not getting the achievement – it’s that simple – we’re getting locked out – no matter what the “reason” is, whatever it is, it needs to be fixed – I am not going to pick through the net and cheat to get through this.

Well telling Anet to make people stop farming champs will get you nowhere. I was giving you an easy solution to your problem. If you are waiting for the update to tell you which map, and then quickly go to any wp there, you will likely not get overflow. It’s worked for me the 10 times I have tried.

The first day I was never in an overflow.

Thereafter I was dumped into one every single time and only once that I could see did we get the achievement and bump up – and we all know we are supposed to be doing “different” maps, we’re not stupid, but some here want to believe we are not reading, following directions and keeping up.

Well, I will say it again, I didn’t have any issues the FIRST day when I was NOT in an overflow by default in every single event from minute one of every single day following.

How is that an “easy solution” when you still must find a place where people will help and not farm – coordination matters in this event, sorry you don’t see that.

Without a real solution (i.e. which server at the very least) your “suggestion” is a cold, mean set of words that accomplishes
nothing.

Not every server is just farming them. It’s easier in the sense that complaining about it and demanding that people and/or the devs to stop it will not get anything done. Before you know it, the event will be over.

The portals only scale up so much, a big zerg hitting one of them clears it in seconds, champions or not. If it’s big enough some people don’t even have time to land hits on the champs. This behavior does not cause the event to fail, generally that level of organization helps the event succeed more often.

You still aren’t understanding the issue.

Don’t know which maps you have not done.

Can’t ever get Fireheart Rise.

That has nothing to do with what the OP is talking about or this thread in general. That’s a bug, one I have reported myself since day one and completely agree needs to be fixed.
