Guild Wars 2

In order to get the achievement, you need a fairly large group. It’s impossible for a handful of players to do it as they start out as veterans and there’s about 5 up at a time. Eventually this will become almost impossible to get for latecomers.

I suggest making them start out as normal mobs and only scale up to veterans or higher when there’s more people. The number that can be out cat one time could also be adjusted.

Also, please remove that mesmer which can insta-port supplies and cause a fail.

It’s actually the opposite. You want as few people as possible. I was able to do it solo fairly easily in a pre-patch instance (empty map). However, I didn’t get the achievement although the bar was full, so it may be bugged.

I did it solo and was not able to and their were at least 4 up at one time. With them being white mantle, they were also tanky.

The bar cannot go down once or it fails. Killing another thief and returning supply can bring the bar back to full. Not sure how that makes sense but that’s what happens.

Edit: Here’s what happens.

One of the white mantle or skritt succeeds in stealing and returning back to their spawn with the supplies. This is what causes the bar to go down and results in the achievement failing. Them grabbing the supplies doesn’t cause the bar to go down.

People are getting confused because killing another mob and returning those supplies can refill the bar back to full. You still failed the achievement but the bar is misleading you into thinking otherwise.

After doing it 3 times now, when scaled for 1-3 people, only 2 spawn at a time. However, when a Mesmer spawns, it doesn’t seem to count. Out of those attempts, I’ve seen 2 groups of 3 with 1 mesmer, and 1 group of 4 with 2 mesmers.

The entire surrounding area also counts towards scaling, like the entire area of Saidra’s Haven.

Maybe there were people up there as I didn’t check. Anyway, this is on their radar.

The other big flaw with this achievement is that it requires you to do both the White Mantle AND the Skritt events, the latter of which requires the Defend Saidra’s Haven event to fail. And as veterans of the game know, any event in which you have to ask/beg other players to NOT complete an event immediately brings trolls who will complete the event just to spite you.

This achievement (along with the hidden Execute the Executioner achieve) needs to be reworked so that simply completing either version of the event will complete the achievement.

EDIT: I’ve heard that the Moonlighting achievement is also fairly difficult to get as it may be linked to the failure of another event to get it to spawn. Can anyone else shed any light on that claim?

2ND EDIT: OK, I managed to get the Moonlighting achievement and I can confirm that it is NOT linked to the success or failure of another event. The event starts about 10 mins after night falls, and then repeats after 20 mins, meaning that it will occur twice during a single night cycle.

There is, however, an apparent bug where not every player involved in the event will get credit for Moonlighting. The first time I was present for the event, I was there from start to finish and yet I never got the achievement while another player did. The 2nd try I got the achievement, also there from start to finish, but other players reported not getting it.
