Fragmented Anomaly bugged.
This was reported when the achievement first came to light. I recall people suggesting methods of accomplishing it in the threads at the time, something about not killing him too fast, letting him get some sort of stacks … I’m sorry I don’t have a link for you but someone else might or you can google for the earlier discussion to find out how some were able to proc the achieve.
We got a fix weeks ago.
Fixed a bug in which anomaly fragments could be absorbed by the Legendary Anomaly at long range if they were stunned immediately after spawning.

feel not fix… we have stun 10 sec after spawn and it feel he get 5 load without any fragment around… :/
If you’re referring to the stacks you see once the DPS phase starts, they don’t matter.
The initial 10 stacks don’t matter to the achievement. Also, only fragments matter for this achievement, coalescences (the orange bar) have no impact.
I wanted to give an update. Fix still hasn’t been found, in large part because we just figured out how to reproduce it (which I’ll explain in a moment). I do want to clarify some points about how the achievement is scripted.
- When the anomaly spawns into the map it sets a flag that says “I haven’t absorbed any fragments.”
- When the fragments spawn in, they path to the anomaly, if they get to it, they apply the Leyline Accumulation Buff, unset the flag, and destroy themselves. (this is the only thing that unsets the flag)
- If the event succeeds, and that flag is still set, everyone who participated in the event gets the achievement.
My suspicion had always been around the pathing of the fragments to the anomaly. As you may have seen in our game, sometimes when NPC can’t get where it is trying to go it just teleports there. It turns out this is sort of what is happening here (and thanks to our QA representative Brett for actually finding this).The actual bug is: if the fragments get stunned immediately when they appear, and stay stun locked for too long, they will just teleport to the anomaly and finish up their scripting.
We’re still trying to figure out why they are doing that, or at the very least, how to prevent them from doing that. I’ll update again as soon as I have more info.
