Guild Wars 2

The WvW camp defense events often do not get awarded even if you killed an attacker or rezzed the NPCs. I would say this happens 4 out of 5 times.
It makes advancing the camp defense achievement harder and even more absurd than any other WvW achievement.

Rezzing does not give credit for any defense events in WvW.

As long as you get kill credit for a player while you are within range of the defense event (While contested), it should count. I’ve never had issues with defense events not counting.

It does count, sometimes I only rezz the NPC and it gives the event.

I’m double checking my facts, the wiki is vague ( http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Repel_the_enemy_attackers ) so I’m running this through SoS chat.

It’s my understanding that only killing players or repairing walls/gates counts for defense events, being as camps have no structures you essentially have to kill a player. In the very rare cases I’ve just picked up a Supervisor I don’t remember getting defense credit.

Well this is definitely bugged.
We just killed a whole zerg inside the event circle and I didnt get the event.

I also tried if killing the dredges who invade the camp in EBG triggers the event. It didnt. Makes no sense whatsoever considering dredges, hyleks and ogres can flip your camps if you didnt upgrade them.

I do know for sure that killing mercenaries does NOT count for defense credit. Killing enemy players should have though.

Mercenaries trigger defense events, so they should give defense credit, too. Its either an oversight or Anet logic.

Yes, they trigger defense events, but they don’t give defense credit. I imagine ANet actually did this to prevent abuse, as there are a number of camps that NPC’s raid often, namely the north and northwest camps in Borderlands, and the mercenaries too.

But then they made it so just guards attached to an objective gets you credit when it gets capped later… as long as you stay on the map if someone else flips an objective you killed a few guards at, you still get credit. It’s a bit inconsistent how they do things.
