Guild Wars 2

Can’t seem to get this to move, it’s been stuck at 20% for the past 45 mins now in Orr. I even dodged some ranged attacks from those slimes and still nothing. What gives? Take this one out please and return the “kill underwater mobs” daily. Thanks.

I do get an occasional dodge to register and am almost complete. However, no one is being considerate and dying for me. Making the daily dependent on people dying around you is the height of stupidity. It looks like, for the first time since launch, I’m going to miss two dailies in a row. Thank you Anet, you’ve broken something that worked beautifully and taken a major source of reward away from me.

Works fine, but means you got the “evade” text not just pressed dodge.

“However, no one is being considerate and dying for me. Making the daily dependent on people dying around you is the height of stupidity.”

Go to an area where a champ wiped all the NPCs? Town of Nageling has that giant event all the time. Or go into WvW? Sorry that something pretty obvious is that hard for you.

Dead NPC’s work also.

You don’t need other players to die, NPC’s rezzes count as well. As for the dodge, you need to time it so that you get the ‘evade’ message. If you are dodging and not getting the popup, you’re probably dodging too soon (e.g. before the key moment in the attack). Try dodging a bit later than you have been.

Also, agrroing a small group of critters is a fast way of getting this achievement, since it seems to be based on the number of attacks you successfully evade, not just how many times you actively dodge. In one dodge manouver, you can evade multiple attacks. My personal best so far was 4 evades on one dodge with about 8 critters around me. That adds up fast. Good luck!

As long as you evade and get “evade”, you’ll get credit.

This is an easy one to wrap up. Many mobs have easily telegraphed and dodgable attacks (probably easiest in the game is centaurs, if you want an example). Just get their attention and dodge their stuff for a couple minutes.

Alternately, Get the attention of a bunch of stuff and dodge randomly heh. I cleared it just being first to the clumps of mobs you get in DEs and then dodging early a bit.

I had to this one three times thanks to the disconnects and rollbacks. It’s not that difficult. Just find any monster with obviously telegraphed attacks and dance around it for a little while.

you can also go to WvW find a enemy zerg and try running from it that should give you your dodges atleast if you get away without stealth

Forest Spiders are good for this, as they are especially obvious in telegraphing their attack. Dodging just as they rear back got me the daily credit for this using just two spiders. (I had to kill the first when I rolled backward into a mob of them.)

I thought this was going to be horribad then I played around with an ascalon fighter to see how many evades I could get off him. Got a couple of Skales as well. Ended up being kinda fun.

I find it easier to press V instead of double tapping if that helps.

I was having problems getting this one as well. Kept letting things attack me and dodging, but I wasn’t getting it to count. The one thing that helped was finding a mob with distinct behavior just before attacking. Then it was easier to tell when to dodge.

Every time the word evaded appeared, I was given credit. You don’t get credit just for performing a dodge, you have to actually dodge an attack.

It works well for me. You must wait while mob/player start some attack animation and then use dodge to see bunch of “evade” on screen. I did it very easily on Tars in Orr they have very well noticeable ranged attack.

The dodge registers when you successfully evade and attack, which is displayed on screen as “evade”.

Works fine for me.

I was keep telling ppl to lvl up as ele with staff – seems like ppl who did have benefit from this achievement. It is easy to achieve, especially channeled attacks.

Mine worked fine, you just mustn’t be dodging at the right time or an enemy that is easy to dodge register on. Try it on an Oakheart.

If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a grawl.

if the new (great!) dailies show one thing, it is that people have no idea how to dodge nor how to combo …

This daily achievement is, for lack of a better word, stupid. It’s just not something I do daily as a Ranger. Even as other classes I dodge to move away from or kite things, not avoid auto-attacks. The gaily gatherer achievement is pointless too because once you max your crafting disciplines there’s barely a point in gathering other than to sell stuff on the AH. The resurrection daily is also quite needless since you usually have to go out of your way to complete it.

Basically I don’t see why they feel the need to add in daily tasks that most people don’t even bother doing every day because they’re pointless.

I don’t think it is a l2p issue all the time.

I thought for the combo kill daily, there were problems with it:

ReginaBuenaobra.6953:

The team is aware of the issues with this daily and they’re looking into it. Thanks.

ColinJohanson.2394:

The combo killer has been removed from the weekly rotation, clearly not working as intended.

I like to use dodge and combo fields, but noticed I wasn’t getting credit for all my combo kills. I got stuck at like 40%.

Dailies reset before I could finish (combo was the last one I needed), so I started over with the new set of dailies.

I didn’t notice any problems with the dodge.

No problems with dodge, in fact that was the first and easiest daily for me.

It depends on your playing style then, because I always dodge as a ranger…

And since when do people complain they can get some copper out of something?

Freeasacar.3247:

I rather like that one, because people will maybe now actually revive NPC’s…

I rather like how they introduced these tasks, because they’re all part of the original game.

What is the new set?

I’m a necromancer who summon a lot, mobs won’t hit me at all. I just want to say: dodge is not my play style, then why should i dodge?

I need to switch to melee weapon and cancel all minions to do this new dailly. Why? Why? I just want to play what i want to play!

I did most of the dodge achieve on one mob. I just picked an axe throwing Son of Svanir in Wayfarer and dodged his axe every time he threw it at me. When my dodge bar was low i just let the axes hit me till it was full again. I would have done it all on one mob, but I got bored and killed him. Either way it took less than five minutes tops.

You have to get “evaded” status for it to count. You can even do it on the missiles that come from bolthrowers and catapults.

I just joined the karma train and launched myself in, dodged twice and finished the mobs, rinse and repeat. Even with evades popping up it didnt always gave me credit. Hang in there mate

Bow wielding ranger. Decided to see how far I got without going out of my way to deliberately play with an NPC or a random mob.

After an hour of wvw, I had clocked up exactly one res (I wasn’t following the zerg) and 20% of my dodge target for the day, mainly because I didn’t meet that many players during my hour as I was off doing camps, etc.

Now I have to go out of my way, do something stupid like play with a mob, and go out of my way to find dead NPC’s, just to gain a ‘laurel’.

Soooo glad I have over 2m karma, wonder if I will ever find a use for it….
