Guild Wars 2

So after having a stranger send me an email every 60 seconds until my mail box was full a week or two ago, I’m down to getting the broken armor message (which I’m very close to getting on my main character, everything I’m wearing is brown at this point) and some message you are supposed to get related to a trebuchet (though spell check in this forum would have you believe I really meant to spell ‘Bucharest’, which seems highly unlikely):

Category: PvP
Trebuchet: Bombard clustered enemies or demolish buildings with the trebuchet! Press and hold “Fire Trebuchet” to shoot farther.

I didn’t build it, I took over for someone else, and used it 20+ times before the wall came down on a fort and everyone stormed in and took it.

I never got the hint.

Do I have to ‘build’ the trebuchet, and I get the message after placing one? Putting resources into building it? Being the last person to put resouces and finish building it? Are these special trebuchets not in WvW? tPvP? sPvP? iPad?

Thanks.

since the hint is under PvP and not WvW it should be rather obvious it is the spvp map with the treb in it (not playing enough spvp to really remember the name of the map though)

Battle of …kylo? Khylo? Something like that, that’s the spvp map he’s speaking of.

Except that I’ve completed everything else except that one, and I’ve never done any PvP other than WvW?

Which is why you don’t have the hint, since according to the other guy you need to do sPvP to get the hint instead of WvW

Except ‘my’ point was I never did ‘any’ PvP, so how did I get ‘all’ the other PvP related accomplishments if they are only related to PvP-Proper?

I guess the next question is: How do I get to go to a PvP occurrence and use a trebuchet?

“LFG Trebuchet Group – Want to fire once – trip to Bucharest optional”

I didn’t go ‘looking’ for hint completion, but when you get all of anything except 3 things, it’s understandable you’d want to try to finish it, no?

Just do a hotjoin into battle of kylo. If the treb is destroyed just repair it and fire it before they destroy it again. If you can’t figure out how to repair it, youtube it. You don’t have to stay for the fight after you get this hint(a hint I do not remember at all).

Kylo, ok thanks. Now I have to figure out how to hot join.

also for the others pvp achivements, my it sounds to me like you can complete them jsut walking around in the heart of the mists “lobby area” and the tutorial for “spvp” when you jion heart of the mists first time (though it honestly way too long ago i did them to really remember it)

The trebuchet one can be gotten in the Mists lobby. There is a treb there you can fire. It should net you completion by using it.

Bingo! Thank you…again!

iv used that treb to try and get the hint but i dident get completion. i was thinking it was bugged. Thisa was a while ago though so can you confirm if this i working?

I did it before making my ‘Bingo’ post. It worked for me. I wasn’t really paying attention, and not sure if I got it after I fired or if the hint showed up before I fired, but it definitely worked.

I did happen to use a character that was not my main, though I don’t know why that would matter? Happened to be a 35th level character. I just walked down that little road to the picture of the trebuchet and used it without talking to the NPC there.

Thanks man ill go try again now
