Guild Wars 2

Kills do not count towards the achievement.

Thanks for the answer, my bad. ./bow

Hey, I think there is something wrong with the krait witch in Timberline Falls… we killed her, got no achievement, and now she did not spawn for over 90 minutes. Is anyone else having similar issues?

This one doesn’t, according to wiki, and, on top of that, we have tried all the other events around the lake in a combination of failing and succeeding, with no luck.
Please do not take us for idiots.

Well, my dear, maybe you should show me where it says one is a pre to the other.
In such cases, you have a clear indication, as in here: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Defeat_the_shadow_behemoth
No event is listed for the krait witch.
Also, as I already mentioned, we have tested it with the events around the lake.
Please, I understand you are trying to be helpful, but you are knocking on the wrong door.

Edit: I tried guesting, she spawned out of the blue after ~15 minutes, I killed her and got loot and still no credit for the achievement.

I think they changed the spawn time on some of the meta events, not with this patch but prior. I’ve noticed that some of the events that spawned every 90 minutes now spawn every 2 hours plus the 30 minute spawn window. Don’t know if the witch falls into that one, but it would explain the long waiting time for you guys.

Berner.7289:

The information is right there. I gave you the link. Since you’re rude, I’ll leave you to it.

No, sweetheart, it’s a list of events, with no indication whatsoever that they should or should not precede each other.

Again, I do not know where do you get that information from, as it is not mentioned on that page.
And, again, no need to try to insult me.

She is correct. They are not pre events.

As for the developer, can you see if the kessex hills bloodwitch is working fine? I’ve been sitting this cave for a while now and no worlds have it up (according to wiki).

this spawntimers need to be changed for this event – i waited nearly 1 hour on this tower in timerline falls and nothing

i dont waste any more of my time to wait for something

change spawntimer to 20 or 30 min for the event

He points out that the Krait Witch is a part of the Nonmoa Lake Meta Event chain, that takes place in Timberline Falls. Since a Meta Event is a series of chain quest that need to be done before triggering the “actual” main quest. If we look at the link he/she posted (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Nonmoa_Lake_%28meta_event%29) the witch is the 2nd event in the chain. Most Meta’s as mentioned earlier have been set to 2 – 3 hours plus the 30 minute window on top of that (if it has a window of course that is) So that means that the chain will start with the event called "Event shield (Defend Chief Eztlitl from the krait (59) "), you have to successfully finish this event before the witch will spawn. Now most of the events that are designed to be around the “main” event itself, do start more than once during the timer. That’s why it’s not called a actual pre event like SB or other meta’s would have, however it’s necessary to finish the event before the other one takes place. The so called “main” event which in this case seems to be the witch, won’t spawn outside the timer it’s set on even if you finished the other event prior.

I hope that helped if that even made any sense. I don’t speak english today :/
edit: not saying it’s right or wrong, just trying to explain what he/she meant lol

All I can tell you is that when we completed the defend event, the witch spawned immediately. I suppose that could have been sheer coincidence, although I read the wiki as suggesting the defend was a pre-event that would block the witch if it failed.

So my advice came from actual in-game experience, today, post-patch. YMMV.

We got credit for 2 Krait witches out of three. However the one in Kessex Hills does not count for some apparent reason. So we were unable to complete it.

There is a dev answer in the other thread. https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/livingworld/tower/Kessex-Blood-Witch-respawns-infrequently/first#post3116963
