I was wondering if there are any guilds who actually host this battle. I’m currently at 9/10 achievements, but No-Fly Zone and Smash the Dragon seem impossible because every single group is completely clueless. I’ve done most of the Shatterer battles since it was updated to be harder and I’m still at 0% for No-Fly Zone. I’m not a fan of achievements which are completely reliant on pug groups.
I’m not sure if it’s because the Smash the Dragon achievement is bugged and people want to wait until it’s fixed to even try. Or maybe it’s because it’s a new experience and people are still learning? Even so, I’m curious if anyone hosts this.

Update on a Shatterer issue from Game Designer Andrew Gray:
There is an issue with the breakbar. I’m working on a fix for it, but since it will require a large group for testing I don’t have an ETA at this time for when it will go live.

Just got Smash The Dragon a few hours ago courtesy of the guild LUCK who has been leading runs for The Shatterer since his re-make. Wonderful, nice people who are were very nice to all of those with questions, making both runs I participated in this evening smooth and enjoyable. If I’m up (darn insomnia!!) I may jump in for the next one in about 45 minutes.
I highly recommend you give LUCK a shot. They use TS, but also call out via map for those that don’t use TS, and still, the timing was spot on.
I tell you what the real problem is with brake bar on Shatterer:
After purple breath the dragon waits for us to jump, like 35-40 ppl, (tried on different servers, days), we are like 7-10 sec in air, we are almost down on land, and only then he can be cc -ed. Ok, no problem, we try to wait 5 sec after purple breath to jump, but he opens cc bar faster, we jump, and we can’t even bomb it, the cc bar is gone, the dragon is in the air….
I’m not delusional, this is the 1st and 2nd cc phase… after those phases ppl don’t care, and right after purple breath he pops up cc bar every time… he f trolling us!
Not to mention the lucky ppl who get AP will no longer help us to get it to, they will not care, the loot is not good from chest, they will go Teq instead.. so yeah, great job…
Hello again,
I ended up on organized map, with ts, we smashed the dragon, have already 12 no-fly zone AP. ( got 2 no-fly zone with pugs ).
The cc bar timing is still bugged, but we are now almost full map ppl who is jumping from pads, and it’s doable!
