Guild Wars 2

On any medium pop or higher server getting the stattered achievement in the boss section is nearly impossible.

I’ve done the shatterer 12 times now and haven’t been able to hit a single crystal prison before they are destroyed.

AE, melee swings, bouncing attacks- nothing works.

Boss achievements should be about doing the boss correctly, and should be attainable if you aim to achieve them. Currently the achievement is pure luck for those with 50 ping, and top end machines and impossible for everyone else.

Indeed. Last time I killed Shatterer I saw one prison during whole match and I was a bit too far away to hit it. This achievement is poorly made.

Try it on off-hours. I’m on a high pop server myself (Desolation) and thought the same when I always tried at the evenings. So one day I was sick of that, got up an hour early, and got 4 out of 5 crystals needed in the morning. Theres groups of 10 people doing Shatterer on weekdays that early in the morn. ^^
