Guild Wars 2

Hello!

I’ve recently decided to start working on my LS and Dry Top achievements after taking a short break from the game. Most of these achievements – the lost coins, llamas, etc. – I have no problem with and can easily complete if I dedicate the time to it. However, I’ve been trying for a week now whenever I’m in Dry Top and the event comes up to get the inquest with the kite things and can’t seem to get it. The issue I’m having isn’t with the achievement itself, but rather with other players who are also trying to do the event.

I’ve tried asking really nicely but no one will stop killing inquest for a second just so I can knock one down. I mean it’s not like I’m asking them to fail the event – it’s something that would take like, 5 seconds. I don’t think I’m being rude or unreasonable here. Every time I’ve asked (very politely) people either ignore me or openly harass me which I don’t think is right at all. I’m guessing what’s happening is either: people don’t read my messages, don’t care, or just want to troll me because they can.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get this completed? I’ve tried everything I can think of, I’ve even had a friend pick up the kite thing and move it away from other players so that I can try and get a hit in with the rock once it’s picked up, but every time either a player runs over and picks it up even after being asked to leave it for a second, or the inquest that runs to pick it up gets spiked down while I’m in the process of throwing the rock. I really didn’t expect this achievement to cause me this much grief or trouble. The only other thing I can think of is to try and get a “dead” instance of Dry Top, which I haven’t managed to do so far.

If you have anything negative to add to this like “you should have done this weeks ago” or “tough luck deal with it” please don’t bother posting, I’ve gotten more than enough grief and harassment in-game over this just by asking politely. I’m looking for a solution or helpful suggestions here, not more of that.

Thanks!!

Really?! It’s been weeks since I have seen a map where people consistently manage to get the bonus on that event. Largely because they seem to be more interested in fighting the inquest than in getting the shards into the basket and preventing the inquest from absconding with those shards…

So get out of the T5/T6 map you are on and find a T1 map instead. Grab a rock, position yourself between the main drop zone for shards and the inquest gate, and hit the first inquest with a shard that’s running your way.

I got the achievement by standing holding one of the rocks and waiting for an inquest to come near, the time it takes to throw the rock will be almost nothing and it also helps if the inquest is a veteran/elite because they are not instant kills.

This is not hard. Step 1. Log into the zone around XX:55 or so, towards the end of the sandstorm. Step 2. Go to Race, pick up a rock. Step 3. Club some inquest guy with it when he gets the flag.

Seriously, the first race almost always fails, even on most good maps, because yahoos run off to fight the Dust Monster or Giant Beetle or some other waste of time and Race is a ghost town. They usually end with Inquest scoring 3-7 times, so finding one guy with a kite to hit shouldn’t be a problem. Your chances are way lower during the XX:15 and XX:30 runs though.
