This fight is starting to get very frustrating.

I have done this event 4 times. I have killed 4/5 of the different regulators and dodged his attacks in every fight.

I have credit for only 1 of those achievements, because every other time the other platforms failed.

Am I expected to fight this boss 100 times? I CANNOT at all control how the other platforms do on easy boss fights.

Why are we not getting credit for things we DID do, just because another group of people failed to do the same thing?

The downside to other people failing their platform should be not getting the chain cut, and failing the event. Not losing out on your achievements.

Agree. Not very wise decision. When your design frustrates players because of something what is not their fault, not even fault of their friends in group, it is a bad decision you made.

I agree. The achievement should be awarded for avoiding the attacks AND killing the Regulator on YOUR platform. We shouldn’t need to be beholden to what other platforms are doing, since we have no way to influence their success or failure, yet our achievement depends on them doing well.

I agree but i pushed through and finished all the achieves. Anet expects you to sacrifice and sacrifice i did.

It certainly does seem tough to get. I’ve done the fight about 8 times now and have none of the achievements, although it wasn’t until today that I worked out what I needed to do.

But the good news is that I think you only need 1 of the 5 to get the 11/11 for The Origins of Madness Competitionist achievement and the reward.

Why make sense, when it’s so much more fun to make nonsense?

Yep same. -_- I don’t mind that we fail this, but I’ve been on the failing line approx 8 times already. My group has won the fight every time and I have evaded the attacks, but no hope of either kill nor evade achievements, because someone else has failed. This makes this very frustrating. And usually you have to get there atleast 1 hour before the fight that you can even fit to the server and then use 20-30 minutes to fight it. And you can’t get the achievement because someone else failes, but you don’t. It’s really frustrating and I’m starting to hate this. :/ It’s a pity, since I quite like this event, but please do something about this. This just brings so much hate into the mapchat, because it’s such an issue when people fail.
