Guild Wars 2

Two issues which make this achievement almost impossible to complete:

1. Runner spawns portal near supply pile, grabs loot and disappears back thus failing the achievement immidiately. (look attached screen)

2. Event scaling is ridiculous. Elite or champion enemies (level 82) spawns even if 2-5 people is defending the ship. What’s more some of them are almost impossible to kill (full dps burst of couple of people and they still ran away with like 80%hp)

The entire nearby area scales the event, meaning anyone AFK at the heart. To do this achievement very easily, you want 3 or less, which is the default scale. Simply put, this event requires a dead map. If they changed the achievement to simply require 100% supply, that would make it a lot easier regardless of how it scaled.

The mesmers do seemed to be bugged, besides they’re overpowered teleport, as they always spawned in addition to the usual 2 carries. Luckily, they’re rare however, as I only saw them once per event, though one time 2 mesmers spawned at once.

the worst thing is that you don’t even get the AP if you restored the bar back to full. that’s not what one would expect. if the bar is full, nothing could have been stolen, thus you should get the ap…

also the fact you have to fail the outpost to get the skritt to spawn, can we just have it random btw the two so we dont have to fail events to get the achievment

At least taht one is somewhat justified sicne it is basically impossible to tell full vs on sliver short much like how VB sometimes misses t4 by that small amount as well.

Or make it so the achievement requires either of them, not both.

Still, that won’t change the fact you still have to fail the village defense event to get Execute the Executioner,.

So they should also move that somewhere else. Like fort Evennia.

For example, the execution would be an event that happens in the deeper area of fort Evennia, and to save the villagers you’d have to reveal yourself as the White Mantle will always be watching. So it’ll be actually harder as you’ll have to reveal yourself and clear an area after infiltrating, making the achievement have more merit.

But there would no longer be toxicity from players wanting to fail, you could even get people to form parties and get in together to save the villager.

In any case, any sort of reward or occurrence that could encourage players to fail on purpose is bad, will only cause problems, and should be fixed.

This also include things like how people fail on purpose “Defend Jofast’s Camp against Risen attacks” in Cursed Shore to get another escort and farm because the escort recharges faster than another defense, and will harass players who just want to play the event by upscaling it with lots of people while not participating to make it impossible for other players.

That kind of behavior just most go.

Moonlighting is broken too …

Rumors are that Moonlighting only works for one player instead of anyone attacking the Bandit Sprits. Feels like it’s the one attacking Bandit Spirits as first.
