Guild Wars 2

I have been trying to get this achievment on diffrent ways.

. saving all the npc’s who are in combat with mordrems and then tell them to retreat.
. rezzing all the npc’s after the Ls and then tell them to retreat.
. rezzing all the npc during the ls then tell them to retreat.

i have done it 5 times now and 5 times i didn’t get the reward. there was a recent build, but that didn’t changed much. i also watched and did the same thing as dulfy and other people got theirs. but still nothing.

Is this a bug then? or am i missing something?

I encounter the same problem. I only tried the achievement with the current build, not before. So I never even tried the “do it after the completion but before leaving”- variant.

Things probably worth mentioning:
I always go in alone and I am never in a group when I do the instance. So any scaling should be for a single player.
The npcs to rescue spawn only after you’ve talked to Lindsay. I can’t find them before that.
I have rescued 7 npcs. If I am simply missing someone, I can go and search again.
I never waited for the enemies attacking them to down them. Which in most cases wouldn’t work anyway because they can actually defeat them themselves.
On one remarkable occasion, one of the npcs was missing. He simply was nowhere to be found, which is partially why I mentioned that I found 7 and wether I am missing someone. Maybe one simply isn’t spawning for me.
I carefully searched the entire map area, going in wide circles around the last step to prevent it from triggering which would negate any chance of doing the achievement.

I went in alone, saved all 7 before they died and talked to all of them and the eligible icon just stayed on my bar instead of completing, so it is definitely bugged.

There are many guys with problems, in the entagnlement subforum are plenty of threads about this issue.
This one is the biggest:

It really is bugged, ArenaNet.

I saved and talked to all 7 npc while in solo instance, but I didn’t get the achievement after talking to the last 7th one. Please fix it for everyone.

No it doesnt. Just tried it – again – that way and even though I waited 20 minutes after timer ran out before choosing rox… I did NOT get the achievement after saving all 7.

I also tried:
Letting timer run out before even moving from spawn, choosing rox.
Letting timer run out before moving, choosing braham.
Letting timer run out AND 20 minutes more, choosing rox.
Waiting 20 minutes AFTER clearing concordia and choosing rox.
Waiting 20 minutes AFTER clearing concordia and choosing braham.
Not waiting at all, timer runs out before saving lydia.
Not waiting at all, timer runs out AFTER saving all 7.
Not saving anyone and rezzing afterwards.
Waiting for up to one hour after saving all 7.

I wasted kittening forever on this stupid bugged achievement. Will I get any compensation? No. Will they even bother to fix this? Well, doesnt look like it. Bug is known for over 3 days and not a single response.

I was thinking of getting some gems to buy some stuff from gemstore… but after this? Im not gonna spend my hard earned money on a game with zilch support.

This.

I had this bugging right now after i had cleared the camp, the instance progression stopped so I couldn#t get to the part of finishiugn it with that achievement (tried solo), I made a run before with a group and there it didt bug at that part >.> very weird

I think this post from the entangled thread sums up the bug in “on Swift Wings” very well. The saved NPC’s are not exiting the instance but staying at the portal and then dying when the final event is triggered.

Reason why the achievement fails. All 7 NPC no matter how much time you wait, 10 minutes for the time achievement to end or just do it while its on, ALL 7 NPC’s Die at the end as they fail to cross the portal and leave the map. What happens:

-If u are delayed to get out of the priory cave and the guard tower npcs die the achievement fails.
-if you go anywhere near the final event circle the event fails
-Having ordered all 7 of them to retreat and careful checked they made it from distance to avoid triggering the final event they stop wlaking right infront of the exit portal in contrast with the priory caravan at the end of the entire instance that walks through the portal and leave the instance.

I have tried all of the above however the reason that we all fail is that they npc;s bug? at the end and dont leave. Maybe some of you were lucky and didnt bug out.
