As far as I understand the description you have to close 5 portals within 15 minutes after the world event started.

Well … I’ve done this several times now … still no achievement or even a “1/5 portals”

We’re investigating, but it’s worth mentioning that closing pirate or molten events do not count as portals.

Edit: Also, after you close your first portal you will receive a buff for 15 minutes. All the portals need to be closed while the initial buff is active or you will not receive credit.

I’ve gone through two invasions now, and my count for portals closed is still at 0/5.

On my second invasion, I made sure that I was going to try to go for it. I managed to close 5, as my 5/5 portals closed daily got checked off. Additionally, we still had 32 minutes left out of the original 45, meaning I had done it in 13 minutes. However, upon further inspection, my counter for portals closed for Swift Closer was still at 0/5. Am I misunderstanding the achievement or is this bugged? (People in map chat said that they had gotten it when I asked about it, so is it an isolated incident?)

I’ve ‘completed’ the event on both overflow and on home server. Don’t know if that’s it, especially considering that even though I’ve participated on both types of servers, I’m still 0/5.

If your achievement says 0/5 then there is definitely a bug. It should be 0/1 only. The only 0/5 under Clockwork Chaos is Portal Closer which requires finishing 5 invasions.

Edit: Swift Closer requires closing 5 portals in 15 minutes not 1 portal in 15 minutes repeated 5 times.

nope, tried again and made SURE that I got GOLD completion on the portal events, all within 15 minutes (31 minutes in countdown), 6 events all minions (no aether/molten) and still no completion.

Need to know what could be causing this.

Hi, just wanted to point that there has to be a bug because I was with my party on the event, and we rushed for this achievement. We went together to all the portals (with 2 swords). And 2 os uf (who didn’t have yet the achievement) got the daily achievement close 5 portals, but my friend also had the achievement of swift closer.

So he get’s daily achievement to close 5 portals and swift closer at the same time, but I do get credit only on the daily but not the swift closer bug :/. Ah, it still had 33 mins left.

please fix it

I also had this problem, then I tried to do the events without using any waypoints. I instantly got the achievement after 5 portals. I think it’s possible that waypointing resets the portal count.

I didn’t WP either. Plus, even if WPing DID reset the counter, it doesn’t make sense for me to still have 0/5 (or 0/1, not sure which) on the achievement panel. I should AT LEAST have 1 if WPing resets the counter.

There is no “at least one” with this achievement. It is all or nothing. You either closed 5 portals in 15 minutes or you didn’t or you did but there is a bug but there is no partial completion.

Edit: and go make sure you are actually looking at the right achievement …

Edit: and go make sure you are actually looking at the right achievement …

I got into the main map with 44/45 minutes (so no aetherblade or molten alliance). I closed five portals, and I KNOW I did because I got the 5/5 portals closed daily (this was right after reset, so these portals weren’t carrying on from a previous instance). On top of this, after my 5/5 portals closed daily checked off, I still had 32 minutes on the timer, meaning it only took me 12 minutes to close all 5.

So even if there isn’t partial completion, which I’ll admit could be possible, from the scenario above I SHOULD have gotten it. I’m not too terribly worried about it, it’s only 5AP, but it is a bug that has happened to me on 3/3 invasions, where 2 of them I was specifically trying to get the swift closer achievement.

A similar thing happened to me, so I just kept going and got it on the seventh portal. Obviously bugged, but something to try in the meantime.

Haha, like I said I’m not too worried about it. I do plan on going for 13/13, so I figured I’d get it eventually. Just figured I’d report it and see if anything comes of it.

I also have problems – cannot get this achievement.
Can someone explain what conditions must be met to get this buff, because i never got it. Do we need to talk someone, or should be appear automaticly after first close portal event completed?

I’m having the same issue with this bug. Done 3 maps now, hitting all 5 portal closures and nothing. Not having a buff pop up after the first portal being completed either, which I think is what was said above as what was supposed to happen? Definitely would like some update about the situation.

I have done this achievement easly.
My tips are:
1. focus “destroy Scarlet invading minions” events, don’t care about pirate or dredges or molten
2. you need to take the medal from the event (bronze is enough), so when you got the medal move from that place for another
3. focus just-started events, so you have more chances to get the medal

Regards,
M

I finally got it. You have to be absolutely sure you get the medal from each. It took me a couple, because there were some I didn’t get a medal for even though I was there for a majority of the portal’s existence, but I did get it. I also did what was mentioned above about only doing twisted minions and not any Molten or Aetherblades. Hope this helps!

Edit: also, I had no visible buff appear either.

I think he was talking about an internal buff. The game triggers it and watches your progress with a 15 minute timer. If you don’t beat the timer, it simply doesn’t credit you.

So as a helpful tip, as soon as your close the portal, rush/WP to the next one. I suggest one that has a Commander tag on it, to maximize the amount of players helping.

Bugged, doesn’t work for some. Fix please. I’ve done it about 8 different times now under 15 minutes (Closing only her portals) Aka the “Swords” Getting a “Medal”. And I’m still not receiving the achievement. Haven’t noticed a buff either, but that’s just from me not paying attention to that section.

Also someone pointed out to me… “You can’t use waypoints”.

Is this true?

Since it didn’t specify if it was close 5 in 15min or close 5 in the 1st 15min i went with the later.
Just do enough in each event to grant bronze/silver and move to the next, you should get it that way easily.

I did it on an overflow on my 1st time without any trouble.
