Guild Wars 2

We all know that this is a very hard title to get. What I’m proposing is that every giant (especially Orrian ones) and not just champs attribute towards the Giant Slayer title. This is the ONLY species of foe in the game (that I’ve seen) which doesn’t have kills adding up in the ‘slayer’ which are less than champs. Why is this? Why make one title deliberately harder to obtain than the others in the Slayer category? Why can’t Veteran giants count for this?

I know this has been raised before, and many times, but something needs to be done about it.

If you notice during the daily kill variety, nothing down there updates it. Grubs, humanoids, animals, Fish, Quaggen, Giants. They’re all Risen. Which means you get the Zhaitan’s Bane achievement updated but no other ones.

That’s how all the dragon minions work. It’s very annoying since they’re the only source of consistent giants in the game.

That’s not quite true. In the toxal bog in Brisban Wildlands there’s a golem escort event which spawns normal (non vet, non champ) giants in proportion to the amount of players currently there. I think the cap is at 5 or something. That said, its still ridiculously hard to get, so I agree that there should be more giants.

I have spent a fair amount of time in Brisban and never seen this even, though I’ve heard about it. That simple fact says to me it can’t really be considered a consistent source, can it?

Well, you can get a giant guaranteed every 5ish minutes. If you go with friends or guildies, you’ll spawn a lot more. Not that this is a good solution, its just the best one avaliable.

I’m sorry, but that’s not a solution at all. That’s for the most bored players who are looking to torture themselves by becoming more bored, and hoping to get a title out of it from pure persistence.

The other slayer titles cater for every type of level of that species, not just the giants which qualify to fall into this category, which if you look I think there’s only 7 different giants available, and the wiki doesn’t say which are hostile and which are neutral/NPC. Of those I only know of two, Champ Giant that spawns in the town of Nageling (Diessa Plateau), and Kol Skullsmasher (Harathi Hinterlands). Neither of these attract a lot of attention, asides from a brief wander through the area and noticing a giant has spawned. Opportunity knocks, but I’m sorry it’s just not often enough.

I believe the solution for this is to remove the giants in Orrian areas from the Zhaitan’s Bane list and include them as “giants” instead, simply for the ability of progressing through that title. Zhaitan’s Bane is already too easy to get if you know anything about the Orrian areas and know what it’s like to farm there.

god yes please its the last slayer title i actually need to get and out of 4 people that i know i have the most(at 10 giants) killed.

I’ve killed 13.

Only 987 to go.

C’mon Anet, fix this.

5ish minutes? More like 20ish minutes.

They should simply remove this slayer achievement, or reduce it to about 30 giants. It makes no sense to have a slayer achievement of up to 1000 enemies, for an enemy that hardly appears in the game, and only pops up alone, or in a group of 5.

Surely there are other enemies in the game that appear more frequent, and would be more deserving of this title? Like Icebrood for example.

It’s one of those pieces of content I assume to be for the self-proclaimed hardcores wanting extremely time gated content.

I have 3 and I’m waiting for the fix like forever…

I have 3 for a couple of months now. It is so low I am not even interested in this achievment.
