Guild Wars 2

just did all the pre-events and the meta event
after we killed the last boss I got the big chest + the bonus chest, but not the achievement…

was in a group with 2 friends – they both got the achievement so

nice bug …

Yeah, it’s a bit annoying. A lot of people get it unexpectedly and it’s frustrating when it’s your 12th kill and still no joy.

I just got mine last week or so. I had done this in the past with no luck previously, but didn’t think much about it.

I recently did it again and I didn’t get it (finished with bronze on the chick). While I was just insisting my exploration of the map, the pre-event started. I hopped over and completed them. This time I made sure to get ample damage as soon as she became targetable, then while she goes below deck, I just went to where the chest spawns and waited for her. She popped up and I did as much damage as I could and finished with gold… And I got the achieve then too.

I was partied with 2 peeps I was helping with this event pre-chain and they got it too… So it seems completely random when it happens.
