Guild Wars 2

The megaserver update has “bugged” the Shattered achievement which is unlocked by boss event The Shatterer.

While the technical mechanics of the achievement still function, the issue is that only 5 of these crystals are generated (and are 1HITKO) for the entire population of players; so it is physically impossible to hit a crystal on a megaserver without AoE damage. Even with AoE damage there is a very low chance your hit will count with 50+ players throwing AoE damage down.

I’m reporting this as a “bug” because a megaserver type situation was not intended by the developers when the achievement was created.

The ideal fix would be for the achievement to have the player kill 5 of the Dragons Healing crystals instead. These healing crystals have much more Health, and would make the achievement accessible without changing any of the bosses mechanics.

Yup, totally agree this should be fixed.
Pretty much impossible with the mega servers..

Also i dont wanne hear annyone say try it in the “off hours” cuz there is no such thing.

Tried it on every hour spawn for the last weeks..
Even stood up early or went to bed late to try this kitten achievement.

Ways to fix this:
- Like op said replace in the achie those imprison crystals with the healing crystals.
- Let the attack turn MORE people in to crystals like 25ich instead of 5 or scale it with event..
- Give those crystals like 100x more health so people trying can actually get a hit on them..
- Let us gain the achie after 1 crystal instead of 5.. (Why do we need luck 5 times O.o)
- Just remove it all together and make a new achievement.

(They really die in like a millisec what the kitten is their purpose annyway?)
Fix this! plz

Yes, this is something that definitely needs to be addressed now.

I’m so glad we got this out of the way during that brief window when boss fights were underpopulated and a little harder.

I’m stuck at 3/5 since it was introduced megaserver! I’m doing Shatterer every day at spawn time but i have saw those crystals only 2 times (You can understand how fast a player can destroy them.. about 10ms)
Please fix this Achievement…

This has been an issue long before megaserver was ever mentioned but switching to the healing crystals is a good idea.

but not too underpopulated unless you were very good at dodging the crystals

It’s virtually impossobile to get now.

Why don’t you join the map late, so you end up on a “megaserver” with fewer people on?
