Guild Wars 2

Yesterday I had this bug where I got the match win without winning it (in fact it was a very poor game with just 33 points). There were 2 players (me and the real winner) with crowns over their heads and I got the daily win achievement.

My theory is that it was because of the second crab. Sometimes a second crab appears and 2 players can hold a crab at the same time. Most of my 33 points where while holding that second crab and at the end I was awarded with the match win. I think that when that second crab appears it “creates” a second hidden leadership board and that’s why I was awarded with the win despite my poor performance.

Anyone else got this same bug?

I experiences this (two crabs) today and I got crabtacular this way. At the time I already doubted that I actually deserved the achievement. I’m 99% certain that at least both crab-holders were up.

I got the achievement for winning on the first day of the event and I’m also 99% certain that I never ranked #1 ever. (I ranked #2 in the bugged game today, other than that I seem to come last or one of the lower ones all the time.) I don’t remember there being two crabs in that game, but I can’t say for sure as it was chaotic and it was one of my first games.

Basically I totally suck at crab toss and don’t spend a lot of time playing it and I somehow managed to get both achievements, and I’m pretty certain that must have been a mistake.

So yeah, I think you’re right that there’s something fishy there.

You got crabtacular that way? I wish I could too U.U and I wouldn’t say you didn’t deserve it, that achievement is based on dumb luck rather than achieving anything by yourself so you just had an extra bit of dumb luck in the form of a bug, don’t think you “didn’t deserve it”

Don’t get me wrong, I’m all sorts of relieved that I have the achievement, but I’m really not happy about how I got it or that it is in the game in its current form in the first place. So I’m happy, but grumpy. Grumpy-happy.
