Guild Wars 2

Update: I think I’ve figured it out now, and its not going to be easy. The fault lies within the player RECEIVING the pass, they must score with a “shot” and not a hand-in. I just got two pop-up notifies during my last game, and both times the player i threw to was not within talking distance / hand-in distance of the goal keep and instead made a shot to score. Using 1 based on the character throw animation. I haven’t tested this with a friend as none of them want to play keg brawl, so if someone is intrested in testin with me just add my posting name to friends list and send me a tell in game.

the only sure fire way I know of is in the pre-game when theres a bunch of kegs lying around, throwing one of those to a team mate gets you an assist about 90% of the time, I’ve gotten a few assists in game but they are few and far between. I’ve tried manipulating the distance of the pass, used skill 1 and 2, passes that lead to scores, etc with little to no results. Only in the pre-game kegs do I have much luck, at time of writing im at 55/100 keg assists.

confirmed just got an actual notification, throwing a keg to a player just near the goal tender got me an “assist” popup on screen. So maybe its fixed now

Maybe it got fixed this morning, but I’m up to 5 assists, I’ve been playing for a while too 68 wins, 500 fumbles etc. Anyway, to the point the first one I got was actually during the pre-game setup when theres kegs lying around grabbed on and throught it at a team mat who turned it in either by luck or purpose I dunno. But that got my the 1/1 achievement how I got the other 4 I have no idea, because the end game results always seem to say 0/0 so I’d recommened just throwing kegs to teammates in that pre-game 5 seconds see if your counter goes up, but other than that yea unless it was fixed today, its so sensitive it might as well be broken.
