I DPS that thing with a bow or sword.
Seems you only get credit if you use a ram/pult.
oh maybe thats why. first try to get ram mastery 3, so commanders let u use rams.
second: dont worrie 7 weeks is a loooooooong time so u got plenty of time to be on a ram, cata or treb.

I have just destroyed a gate with a ram and I’m still at 0/1 of the achievement…
I have hit the door with all my weapons,Ram,Treb,Cat,AC and still at 0.
Been killing them with every means possible…
0 points to be credited.

Got credit for:
- doing some dmg with weapon skills, standing near door when it broke
- using ram couple of times
Have not gotten credit for:
- doing lots of dmg to door
- doing lots of dmg and standing near door
- using ram one time
- building siege
- using treb
Dunno, I think its just plain luck or something weird like you have to do last hit…
I got 4 points I have no idea how.
The first was when I used a ram to do a lot of damages. The second I just give 1 hit with the ram before using weapons. 2 others I only used weapons.. See the pattern?
err I just randomly got one point for hitting inner gate in SM LUL, with the same method I have been constantly and consecutively using….Auto attack via Shortbow :P

if theres a pattern I got an anomaly… credit without using ram
I find it’s pretty inconsistent. Almost done with it now and every time I’ve used a ram, it’s been at least 3+ hits and it always gives me credit.
When I PvD, it’s pretty hit or miss. Sometimes I’m there whacking away at the door the whole time and get no credit, sometimes I hit it a few times and get credit.
Who knows? My suggestion: level up Ram mastery and then ram down the doors.
4/30 Here.
One, I got randomly while halfway through a map, running around.
The others? I’m not sure. I used Flame Rams against at least 10 doors today, on the ram for at least 40% of the door, until it breaks and I do not receive credit for the destruction. World Experience pops, for breaking it but the achievement does not advance.
I’m seeing the same problem with this achievement. I ONLY get credit if I hit the gate with a ram, wall with cata or treb. Several others on my server are not having this issue. Very annoying and needs looked at.
Garreth (Ra), Elizabeth (El), Fiona (Me), Morrigan (N)
Ceana (G), Briana (Th), Snowbourn (Eng), Onchu (W)
It works the same way as it does with mobs – you have to deal enough damage to get that 50 wxp, and only if you do get it, it counts for the achievement.
If there are 15 people auto attacking the gate without siege, it’s easy. If there are 2 rams and you’re on 1 of them, it’s easy.
If there are 80 people and 5 rams with masters up, it’s hard regardless of whether you’re on the ram or not.
I’ve noticed that attacking gates while not on siege isn’t giving wxp as it did in the past. This seems to be regardless of how many are attacking the gate or the amount of siege placed. Only one time so far did I received Wxp for melee attacking a gate (Klovan) and that was also the one time it was recorded as counting towards the achievement.
Like most who don’t have ram mastery (yet), I’m not about to kick a master off a ram. One possible solution for some folks who want this achievement is use a treb to down walls. When there isn’t a great rush to get a wall down you can plug away at it without causing any problems. It seems that this method is more likely to be recorded towards the achievement tally, perhaps because it is usually just one or two people trebbing a wall at the same time.
I’ve gotten credit for 1 and I’ve never gotten on any seige. I feel like it’s just really buggy atm.
In the last two days I took Stonemist (2 gates) a few times and several towers (1 gate), as you do in WvW.
Yet I only have “1/10 Walls and Gates destroyed”.
So either that thing is bugged or the description doesn’t fit the requirements.
Hi
I was on ram and battered down gates since I have full siege master and full ram mastery, got WXP for it, got the Tower Lord credit, got the credit for the take (circle) and did not receive credit a few times towards the achievement for towers. Overall it took me maybe 15-16 takes before the achievement finally credited me for 10 towers.
It is bugged indeed, but eventually it will give you the credits.
I haven’t manned a single siege weapon since reset and I have 4 /10 walls. Not sure how this is supposed to work. I presumed you had to use siege. But I definitely haven’t used any
I’ve hit gates, been ramming them with other rams start to end, and no credit a few times.

I got credit for 3 without any siege, then I got on an Omega Golem and killed a dozen doors, only getting credit twice. Definitely was doing almost all the damage to the door.
I only got credit when almost no one was PvDing, I think you have to get the killing blow on the door for credit, since it doesn’t track damage done, only doors destroyed.
In a zerg, capturing a tower, I was in a ram (I dropped) all the way from 100% door to 0% door, no credit. This achievement need to be reworked, and patched. aka. reduce the amount of damage needed to get the credit (if that is the way it works)

It’s not really the achievement. The credit system for doors and walls has always been unreliable. If you get WXP for the objective, the achievement tracks it correctly though.
My best luck has been in karma trains and in a group of 5 where all are putting good damage on the gate. This may be one of the achievements you plan on not finishing for the meta, though.
karma trains and in a group of 5
That’s almost impossible on T1, here 99,99% of time is zerg, if you run out there with a 5 people team you will be wiped miserably.

On my elementalist, I’ve gotten credit a few times without using siege weapons by means of the ice bow and FGS. If you use BOTH weapons to their fullest extent, you MAY have a chance at getting credit, but no guarantees.

You misunderstood. A karma train is a zerg flipping objectives. Five players in your party increases the amount of ‘credit’ the tracking system awards you which increases your chances of being tagged for the event completion.
