Guild Wars 2

A preexisting bug as well as new bugs are currently detrimental to progression in the WvW Season 1 Achievements.

• Advanced Mists Invasion Defender When fighting an enemy zerg for the first time of the night, I easily got my full 25 sigil stacks, however my progression for the killing of enemy invaders was only 11, later in the night I got 25 stacks again in one shot, and only received 17 additional kills for the Season 1 achievement.
• The Keep is the Thing, No Tower is too High [Preexisting bug] when capturing an enemy’s keep or tower, sometimes the event will not be rewarded. This occurs after having participated in breaking down doors, killing the lord, and standing in the circle. No event is rewarded and therefore the progress is much slower in relation to Season 1 achievements.
• Demolition Expert If you range the door, the achievement doesn’t seem to trigger. Attacking the door with melee appears to trigger the achievement as intended. However, this too, like the previous two bugs, is not triggered every time (i.e. one can ram the whole door down, or cata the wall, and not receive progression in the achievement).

If anyone else identifies further bugs, please post so the devs can get this resolved quick!

All kills are not players maybe? Like guards, etc …

It was Zerg vs Zerg in open ground…. no guards or previous stacks, good thought though!

I have the same problem with the demolition expert achievement: still at 0. Downed a lot of door since yesterday (didnt try on walls), no matter if I zerk the door with my greatsword or use a ram, it doesn’t count. Fix this pls.

I can’t open the enormous mistwrought chest in my home borderland jumping puzzle. I have both halves of the key.

There is the same bug with the achievements for camps, tower, keep, castle. You cap one, but don’t progress in the achievement. Well sometimes you do, sometimes you dont, but seems kind of random.

Mists Merc Camp Vanquisher still at 0 after capturing ogres 4 times, dredge twice, and hylek once. 2 solo captures at ogres, 1 solo capture at dredge.

Still experiencing these same issues and still no response from the DEV team on a fix.

Using a ram by yourself on a gate also bugs, as I did not receive advancement for doing so last night.

Fourth time I was involved with taking SM today, second time the achievement didn’t trigger despite getting gold event reward (worked on the gates, killed NPCs and opposition players, stood in the circle, no achievement). I am 2/5 on a track that should be almost done at 4/5.

This is still occurring for me as well. I used the ram and used weapons to take out gates and was stuck at various stages of the achievement. The worst part was taking out 2 gates in SM and not getting credit for either of them when I was on the ram. Then to top it off I was 4/5 for SM captures and with taking out 2 gates, the lord, enemies and standing in the circle, I did not get credit in the achievement even though I got gold for the event. I took SM a few hours later and still no credit for the achievement. I have taken SM 5 times after already being 4/5 and still haven’t gotten credit. This has been seriously draining the fun out of working for these achievements with all the bugs and how random they are.

A lot of the wvw season 1 achievements are bugged to some degree. For example stonemist, my friend and I were in a zerg that captured it, both did same amount of damage and was in the circle for cap. I got credit and he did not, then later we had to recapture it, and it was reversed.
As for the demolition one, I got credit for melee’ing a gate/clearing the enemy rams, then second time I did the exact same thing and no credit.
It is these inconsistencies in the wvw season 1 achievements that are very annoying. Anet really needs to fix them or STATE what exactly is needed to do to get credit. Specially when we don’t have 24/7 to play wvw as we have lives, other games to play and other parts of guild wars to play aswell.

Yeah Odin, its really frustrating. I had another similar situation as you. I was on the ram at 3 different gates while my guildy was using their shortbow. They got credit for all 3 gates and I did not get credit for any of them. It was really bad since it was 3 in a row that didn’t give me credit.
