Guild Wars 2

Im a member of the Tquila Killer Squad, and each time we do this evetn, i try to get this achievement, “Tail Flail” but without luck.
I have tried different dodges and many different places, but so far I have been unavailable to get the achievement. Some say it is bugged and some claim that it is not but just hard to get. Today i had my 60 Tequatl kill and my sick of never getting this archievement. Is there any advice someone can give me on “how” to get it? One of my friends suggested that I should just file a report of this and a ticket to Anet but i dont know if that would help.
Thanks for listening to me and my (somewhat) angry thoughts about this
And thanks for any advice with “how” to proceed.

I successfully dodged the tail swing, got the “evade” floater, got no achievement. I then got feared into the water a moment later and got the achievement.

It’s really buggy. For now, just try hanging around back there and randomly running around and/or dodging. I’ve heard a lot of other people say they got it when they got feared.

I haven’t managed to get it yet, but from your description, the fear may be a coincidence. I’ve noticed that with the Toxic Seedling achievements, there appears to be a delay of several seconds between harvesting the seedling and the counter increasing. It could be something similar with the tail swipe, and maybe the fear is unrelated but happens in the interval between jumping the tail and the achievement counter checking it.

Just a thought.

I am trying this too…since the first day on… I only have an Ele…but I don’t think it’s a class bug? It’s really frustrating.

I am bumping an old topic because it hasn’t been solved or commented by ad dev.

I am trying to do this too.. But now when I have read this post, I will stop trying because it is bugged… Thanks! I will tell other people so they can stop doing this bugged achievement. We are wasting time with these bugs…

but it’s about 50 Points! For a casual player, this is quite a lot…

On a somewhat related thread, the “That Had to Burn” achievement is broken too. Yes, we don’t technically fire the laser personally anymore, but isn’t the exact same goal being achieved every time the laser is fired at Tequatl?

The achievement needs to be fixed and those who’ve already gotten the Burning Light achievement just get it automatically.
