Guild Wars 2

So, the old Tequatl achievement “That Had to Burn” where you fire the Megalaser at him seems to be broken. Despite taking part in a successful Tequatl kill yesterday, I did not get this achievement when the Megalaser fired.

Is this achievement no longer completable? If so, why not? You’re still firing the Megalaser at Tequatl, aren’t you? Hopefully this is just a bug that you guys can address.

I would like to bump this.

Like the OP, I was fortunate enough to be able to join my server in defeating Tequatl.

Upon defeating him/it, I managed to complete the new list of Tequatl achievements except for this specific achievement.

Is this intentional or bugged? Any feedback on this would be very much appreciated.

Good to know I’m not the only one in this situation. Fingers crossed that Josh Davis can let us know what’s going on.

Would still appreciate some feedback from the devs about this, whether or not it’s an intended change, or whether it’s “in the queue” and is just lower on the priority list of things to fix. (I work in a software company myself, so I’m well aware of what it’s like!)

So, something odd happened last night. I got disconnected during a TTS Teq raid and was spamming on my party members to try and get back in. I did manage to get back in at the start of the very last burn phase, and much to my surprise, “That Had to Burn” got unlocked for me.

I’m not sure if the achievement got fixed at some point, or whether it was a fortuitous bug in my favour, but I just thought I’d update this thread in case other people were having the same issue as me.

Woah that’s kinda of cool Gratz. All I know is that because the mechanics of Tqu changed from roughly a year ago when the dragon has soooo laughably easy to kill, that was the original achievement when you killed it. All of the world bosses had their own special achievement just to give a little extra credit for slaying them at least once. However, with the “new” tqu, you don’t really get the old achievement because that boss alone has it’s only tab of multiple achievements.

You may or not have know all of what I stated, but just posting under the assumption that someone looking at this may learn from it.

Also, it point out who was a older player if they got older achievements that you can’t really get anymore, like many of the event/holiday achievements.

basically, I don’t think you’ll be finding a fix when there isn’t one. You just got a happy bug that let you get it Sometime bugs can be good like that. lol.

Yeah, but I’m thinking of a similar situation with the “Shockwave Skipper” achievement. That achievement was also bugged for a long time, with no acknowledgement from ANet that it was broken or if they were fixing it.

Then the bug got stealth-fixed with the 3rd June patch. I and many others finally managed to get Shockwave Skipper.

It’s possible that That Had to Burn was in a similar situation. Maybe it got stealth-fixed in the same 3rd June patch and nobody realised it until now since the number of people doing Teq AND who still didn’t have the old achievement were extremely low.
