Q:
The Kill Combo achievement for dailies
Seems to be bugged. If you can put down a field try do it with a lot of people around but me a warrior and GF mesmer couldn’t get it to work on single/duo mobs
Go to Orr and do events, lots of people killing lots of mobs, easy to get it done in 10-15 minutes. Anet already confirmed it isn’t working as intended… more mobs just makes it easier to get the killing blow with a finisher while a field is up. That is the current theory in my guild as to how it is working.
tried for 1 hr, got 1 combo. I must do something wrong else this is a epic fail.
“Death is just another path”
It worked fine for me in Caledon Forest. The NPCs priced up my combo fields for finishers which was a nice surprise. I achieved all without any other player.
how´s that?? what did you do? I tried 1 hour yesterday and finished with 9 combos. The screen showed loud and clear the combos, but the achievement was stuck at 9 and i lost the daily. I was with 2 comrades, and just one of us completed the daily.
It’s cool that the NPCs are smart enough to do combos!
I spent about 1.5 hours yesterday first helping others do combos, then finally getting mine, and then again helping others. What I found:
- The combo must inflict an effect that does damage on an enemy: namely, dark, fire, or poison field with a whirl or projectile finisher;
- The effect must actually damage the enemy; i.e. if you kill the enemy with the combo itself before the effect does damage, you will not get credit;
- Combos performed while engaging an enemy will count: you can auto-attack, combo, and then auto-attack some more to kill the enemy;
- You cannot self-combo;
- Remember that for projectiles with a % chance to count as a finisher, you will see the combo heart and your character may even say something even if the projectile didn’t count as a finisher;
- Credit for the combo (for dailies) will only be given when the enemy is killed;
- It is buggy and not guaranteed to work.
