Guild Wars 2

My son just walked in and told me he just now moved it from one character to his Charr. He said he had picked the stats (previous to today’s patch), but had not equipped it.

He said that it did warn him previous to the patch, and today, that when you pick the stats, that it would soulbind the item in bright red and that it was a bug that these were not soulbound, but were account bound after choosing the stats. Sounds like today was a stealth fix for something that was previously bugged.

I’ll be waiting for hotfixes before I go near this content. I’ve had my fill with bugged stuff for now

Crystal Reid.2481:

The code changes were too risky to get checked in and tested properly for the build today. They will go live with the next release build (Note: An actual release build, not a hot fix).

We appreciate an update on this issue, as it’s better than silence, but ‘ll be honest, I’d really hoped at least one of the achievement bugs involving this encounter was finally going to be addressed and fixed. I know the one I, and numerous other players reported over a month ago, still hasn’t been. The good thing about that one is, it won’t hinder you from getting the achievement. You may have to work more than you’d originally planned to (or should be required to), but it can be done.

This one though, the player can do nothing about. If you’d happened to be one of the people that were assigned to a necro team on Cobalt before the change in count, you were gonna take awhile to get those 30 barrels, because running them wasn’t your job, unless you were asked to do so. Achievement Barrel Runners drove the raid leaders insane, I heard the poor people on TS literally imploring people to stop with the barrels and go after the other stuff, or why did people from Amber or Crimson go to Cobalt. The people that didn’t flip out over that 30 barrel count and did what they were asked to do, or were just able to start doing the content when the change was implemented can’t finish their achievement no matter what they do. It is out of their hands.

I know there will be people who say, “it’s just an achievement, it’s just a title” and sure, to a degree, they’d have a point. It’s also just a game. But it’s my time, and I do try to help support the game, even if only in minis or armor skins and character customizations, bank space and stuff like that. Achievements are a large part of the Guild Wars 2 experience, and it’s disappointing when they’re broken. More-so when it’s our new “end-game” content related stuff. We put our time into this stuff, and our time has value, if even only to us.

I don’t proclaim to be a designer, coder, programmer, etc. I’m just a player, a customer. I totally get that things can’t be fixed overnight, and that content should be tested before it goes live. It’s disappointing that this occurred and hopefully it’s fixed in a few weeks. At least until then, people won’t be crossing their fingers for a hotfix.

skullmount.1758:

Sorry to keep this off topic but I gotta ask, why are Savannahs illegal in Xparts of the U.S.?

On topic- More sad eyes to help guild Anet:

From Savannah Cat FAQ Because they are a hybrid of the African Serval and a domestic cat ( Oriental Shorthairs, Egyptian Maus, Serengetis, Maine Coons, Bengals, Bengal Crosses,and non-pedigreed domestic cats). As the breed continues to progress, later generation Savannah females are more often taken back to the African Serval instead of the misc. other breeds, and later generation fertile Savannah males are bred to all generations of Savannah females. The first three generations resulting from the Serval x Domestic cat are considered “Foundation Savannahs”. Any animal can be dangerous, hybrid or not, just some states take it more seriously than others do.

Many states don’t allow wolf/dog hybrids for fear of how dangerous they are. Could these cats be dangerous? Any cat can be dangerous. Sarafina stands to my waist on her hind legs. I’m 5’10".. Sarafina runs to me when I walk into her room holding her fetchy ball in her mouth, hoping its time to play fetch, which we do, every single day

I’ll leave you a pic of my little F-4 Boy Sekani as a baby, and one of him all grown up.

Sekani loves playing with the dog. A German Shepherd gives him a good play time.

Underdark.3726:

I’m not talking about wurmicidal maniac but wurmslayer in which you need to kill all 3 heads. I’ve killed them a long time ago and now is back to 0.

Gah, I’m sorry, Underdark. I misread what you wrote, too (through no fault of your yours!), but I get what you’re saying. That’s not good, either. That one does indeed count.

For those confused about what people are talking about having 8 of 10 or 9 of 10, we know that the newest one doesn’t count. What is bugged is that the kegs, which previously took, I think 30, now only takes 5, and for most people, that would complete Triple Trouble. Problem is, it was completed with the change in number, but not the actual count toward the achievement, and since it is “finished”, we have no way ever finishing it (because as pointed out, the new achievement, Wurmicidal Maniac, does NOT count towards the 10 achievements needed for the Triple Trouble achievement, and that is clearly stated), until it is patched.

Triple Trouble (title giver)
Wurm Scrambler
Phytotoxin Enthusiast
Wurm Handler
Wurm Barf
Wurm Decapitator
Wurm Bait
Wurm Kleptomaniac
Wurm Demolitionist (this is the issue)
Wurm Slayer

Aidan Savage.2078:

It HAS been fixed. Read the anet post above yours a bit. The fix is likely to be out Tuesday. Seems kinda pointless to put out a hotfix that only addresses a single issue when a few days/week later the next major content update is being released. Plus if you’re waiting on retroactive validation, not like you’re waiting for it to be reset to 0.

Edit: Wurmicidal Maniac does not count towards the meta like the description says.

I think people understand that, once they see this post in this thread. It’s been fixed internally but the fix has not been applied live yet, and that’s what players don’t know, and really, if you’re writing to support, that’s the answer that matters. It can’t be that hard to simply state the fix is ready, just awaiting a patch deployment. Since the search function on the forums is wonky, it can be hard to find the info if you don’t know your way about or where to look. Look at all the people looking for info on the Teq bug.

Wurmicidal Maniac agreed, doesn’t count, but it shouldn’t reset either.

cheshirefox.7026:

i was wondering if it was a savanah.. or just a spotted kitten

You can usually tell by the ears if you’re not sure by the markings.

All of mine have their paperwork, save my snow-spotted blue-eyed boy, who came to via adoption from a previous owner. However, I have been in touch with his breeder, and know his background. I love him paperwork or not, even though he tries to eat all my hair scrunchies..

Ice of Dragons.1637:

sorry to be so of topic but i need to know. how much is 1 savannah kitten and what part of the world do u live in for reverence i am crazy about savanas but they are like 5k euros in my country

Depends which kind of “filial” you want, F-1, F-2, F-3, F-4, etc, etc. There are alot of other factors tossed in too. This makes it easier to understand.

I live in the South Eastern U.S. where all hybrids are legal so there is no limitation on the amount of Serval, however, I know in Gerorgia, the Savannah cat is illegal, and they are in other states as well. Some states allow past a certain percentage of Serval (F-5 and on).

The cost varies upon breeder and since the breed has TICA recognition (still not CFA recognized) it’s really easy to find a breeder you like.

Some breeders charge up to 20k for these cats, do your research and talk with many breeder. My cats varied in price as they range in the amount of Serval they have.

On topic: I bet we’d love to see more cat minis! Must see more cats in game…and Christina probably loves cats!

Known issue.

Ceri- /hugs!!!! I liked you before you posted in this thread, now I just have more to like you for.

For Danicia- One of my Savannah kitties, Sarafina (I’m a weirdo, I have 5 Savannahs) maybe this face will work…

FreshM.6729:

Funny thing, I wrote the support about that (got 11 but only 9 counted) and they redirected me to a GM which wrote me in email “This has been fixed”… It obviously hasn’t. Sent them some screens now. And such an answer took them several days. Oh well.

Both myself and my husband have sent many tickets/mails in about this issue and the other wurm bug resulting in no credit for achievements for wurm head kills (there is a thread for that one too- made on this forum a month ago) and the responses we both got have left much to be desired. I gave up on tickets, it’s like banging my head against a wall. I don’t even think more than one, my final one, after a survey was sent in, got read.

I’d love to try the new content when it comes out, but I don’t wanna be a bug tester, and for something that takes as much time and effort as this encounter does, I’d hope if fixes are ready, we could get them, and if we can’t get them, we can at least get some updates so we can understand why.

hahaha, Ceri! That picture freaks me out!
I had my camera at an odd angle while I was digging though my desk and my son was behind me and said, “mom, you’ve got issues”. I look up and, “Hi freaky necro”. Son yells, “oh you gotta screenshot that, freakshow”. Done., lol.

Ahhh..kids, they have such terms of endearment, lolol! But it’s all good.. I know where he sleeps at night, bwahahaha!

I can get behind this… and I’d support them making a slightly different one being available in the gem store with proceeds going to charity as well.

All 3 players in my home would support it.

Christina, first /many hugs to you You stay strong!
and 2nd.. I’m a baking machine, lady! If you wanna send these fine people some cookies/breads/brownies and see how much fun they can be on a sugar high, I’m doooown!

Heh, I just baked a variety of 8 dozen cookies tonight for my husband to take into work tomorrow. He is a government employee and they’re having a yearly inspection. Well, now everyone will have a smile on their face and a sugar rush to boot. I expect all will go well.

They know.

Look here.

They state the fix is ready, just waiting to be put into a hot fix build and made live.. but we haven’t heard anything about when that’ll happen.

Electro.4173:

I find the weird noises your characters’ make at citizens much less strange than the animation.

You get an animation for blowing on a warhorn, but it happens no matter what weapon you have equipped. So my Elementalist is sitting here blowing through his dagger like a nutcase.

Like this..

Yeah.. creepy indeed!

*edit-Ceri- Your daughter sounds too cute! I love The Dreamer as well, and if my any of characters could use it, I’d wield the heck out of it, too!

Ceridwen.6703:

Dag dag! I’ll have you all know Sims speak Simlish. It’s kind of adorable once you get used to it.

lol, Ceri! My daughter still loves the Sims, my son teases her mercilessly over this. She was so sad when TSO shut down.

I wish she’d play GW2 with the rest of us, but this girl plays some other weird game, and believe it or not..still dabbles in Ultima

Vespertilionidae, that is fantastic!

You’re right, it really would have been nice to see it done that way versus our odd forms of encouragement we’ve got going on now.

Heck, if they’re hiring writers, you maybe ought to apply too. Well done!

Backward Sass.6791:

Our shouts of encouragement are like how The Sims speak. Gibberish.

haha! My daughter played The Sims Online and would stand there and make pizza. I’d hear madness in her room, and walk in, asking her what the mad chatter was coming out of the speakers.. oomblaa essta ramano! She’d inform me it was Sim speak for pizza orders, as if I should be fluent in that stuff. Seems she was !

Madness, lol! I still have dreams sometimes where I hears Sims babbling in the background…

This encouragement stuff.. disturbing.. thoughts in this here thread!

insaneshadow.1654:

Gulesave.5073:

Running a zerg in L.A. upscales events so far that rewards become minimized. Enemies hit too hard and die too fast, becoming a rampant waste of time.

I tend to get about 25% more loot when running with small groups, with the added advantage of leaving without a single piece of damaged armor. And rescuing more citizens on top of that? Heck, yes. When I see a zerg, I run the other direction.

That’s what I usually do. I come in from Gendarran and I immediately warp to Postern Ward and do my rounds there. I normally run solo, looking for citizens in the ogre cave, by the waterfall area and to the west of the waypoint down in the water which seems to hold a good number of civilians to rescue.

While doing that I’ll participate in an event or two, like escorting the ogres, defending the guards there and escorting the moas, but mainly my time is spent rescuing and being dumb in the chat. The reason I run solo is I know where I usually go, I just don’t do it in order and am pretty random about where I start. When I’m with another player I worry if I’m just randomly leading them around like a jerk.

hahaha! You are exactly the type of player I keep my eye out for so I can attach myself to them like some creepy personal guard.

I feel like I’m doing a good deed being a good silent back up gal, lolol.

Don’t look at me like that /eye twitches
I know I’m insane

It’s broken. Lots of folks having the same issue. As it stands, it is not completable.

They know.

Look here.

They know.

Look here.

FWIW, I sent in a ticket. My husband also sent in a ticket, we both pointed out the thread I linked above with the Dev post in it. My husband then got a response to his ticket, asking him to submit an in-game bug report.. even though…he’d shown it was already a known..and acknowledged bug. He did it in game with screen shots just for the heck of it..

I think we’re gonna be done submitting tickets and bug reports, more hassle than it’s worth, and from what I can see, and I’m a somewhat new player that just started experiencing issues with bugs and submitting tickets. I’m ooooovvvvah it.

They know.

Look here.

Quite a few players have been reporting issues with the previous achievements for weeks. I’m one of them. Some people have said just go do it “x-kill again”. I could, but I did it already, and have tons of stuff to show it.

Lots of emails back and forth, proof of achievement earned, etc. I still have not opened up my Daily Wurm chest, and given all of the bugs and tons of other issues (server stability as of late tops it all out), I haven’t gone back. Both myself and my husband (who also had the joy of experiencing this bug) sent emails again last night when we saw it’s bugged in another spectacular way and also brought up retroactive titles. I did get a response, too. He hasn’t been home today to check his mail, so we’ll share what we got when he does get home.

Let me just reiterate, I’ve been getting nowhere, for weeks. Now, it did seem like quite a few people had the same issue we had, but for the most part, it wasn’t really responded to:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Wurmslayer-Achievement-Bug

The new bug, discovered last night, was responded to right away:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Triple-Trouble-Meta-Seemingly-Bugged

We’ll see.. but I’ll hold onto the chest and not my breath.

7 times at least.

Personal story, booted. Everything tried to do, booted. Giving up for the night.

Black Balance, I did not guest and still had this issue.

Horrific lag. Have “fallen” to death, without falling twice in 10 minutes now. Before that, ridiculous rubber-banding and other lag issues while attempting to play. Not our ISP.

KainRacure.1023:

Siobhan. I dont even know if that is a member of TTS. As i said before we also run with randoms and pugs and thus LITERALLY anyone could be saying they were part of this kill or part of the TTS kill or whatever.

Oh wow. That’s a whole new spin. The guy that posted the video, nah, he’s in your guild, he is a founder, right? The guy posting the other stuff? Jabberwock? Okay, maybe, but this guy, some random or pug now, huh?

Celeras.4980:

Like myself, some/most other TTS members …

KainRacure.1023:

Celeras, for the record, I hold no ill will against you and realize that you were just speaking your mind based on what you knew. My comment that included your post was simply to clarify things and was more directed at Siobhan who on 2 different threads has implied that a TTS member’s views are officially from TTS itself.

Your guild is your guild. Whether you admit the ability to know who is in it or not, is up to you. But if you can’t, don’t expect me to be able to tell a member, from a leader, from council, to boss fight commander, to whomever. You have a nice evening, KainRacure (Zarzag)

*edit- In your screenshots at the top of this page:

KainRacure.1023:

the 2nd “T”. Last person on the very bottom. Even has the guild tag up.

I agree, to a point, Acidic. Separation would also help alleviate responsibility. Yet, again, and I have looked, out of curiosity, not only do folks have to apply to the guild, there is an etiquette/rules page. Guild leadership also comes with responsibility, and in a situation like this, it was probably best to not be confrontational about such a hotly debated topic without speaking to guild leadership. Especially when others had already stoked the fires, know what I mean?

I know what was being said to me, it’s still there. Do I want to hash out the politics of the guild, not really. I stated my take on it, enough times to make my fingers numb. I’ve read the GL’s take on it.. and we’re not going to agree.

A guild “we” is quite different than a server “we”. Representation means something. At least, I think it does, which is why I don’t just join random guilds for downing a boss or group events, etc.

The whole act of wanting to distance oneself is understandable when someone says something undesirable/unintended unintentionally/intentionally implicating a whole group of people.

However, my point still stands, and I feel, is quite valid. You saw what was written and more importantly how it was written. You don’t deny this was a member that wrote it even:

Then again, perhaps they should not “invoke” TTS and we when conversing about an issue, and like was done in their 2nd post, use I.

Rizalee.4593:

TTS leadership can not be expected to monitor the posts and comments of all their members. It is up to the reader to always take what is said with a grain of salt and realize that anyone can say they are a member of TTS, or that they represent TTS, and this may or may not be true.

I’d be apt to use that logic applied to posts like “hey guyz, we just did [insert silly thing here, rep for awesomeness] etc etc” vs. what was posted in response to me by someone who appeared to be knowledgeable of the situation, and has stated they were involved in the situation:

Celeras.4980:

Not really sure what you’re trying to say. They both went outside the circle which caused the scaling bug (as with every single kill that has happened so far). The only difference is that TTS actually recognized what happened, repeated it, and reported it to the devs once it was confirmed. There will be a fix for this tomorrow, and they have since shut down all other Wurm runs.

We spent the better part of two weeks trying to get it down with nothing but individual head kills. It just took a bit longer to get the luck that Blackgate/Desolation received earlier. I look forward to it being fixed so we can get back to working on our progression.

Then after the GL came and spoke up:

Celeras.4980:

Since my comment it being posted all over and Zarzag felt the need to give an official statement, allow me to clarify:

I speak for no-one but myself, not for TTS. What I said was factual and done with the knowledge that I myself was in communication with the devs after the first kill, before the second run, and after the second kill.

Like myself, some/most other TTS members were immediately aware of what happened on the first kill, even though it happened completely by accident. After the P2 DPS struggles we’ve been going through it was painfully obvious. However there were also fair amount of people who haven’t even shown up to Wurm in weeks that strolled in for the second kill to get on the bandwagon. People who had zero contribution to our progression effort, and just wanted to reap the rewards.

That’s the cause of some of the conflicting perspectives coming out, and I apologize if I contributed to it. But this really isn’t as big a deal as some are making it.

Why would I have reason to negate this person’s first response to me? Again, The guild might be large, but the GW2 population is larger. Perhaps, as I suggested, it’d be better if members of TTS were asked not to speak on behalf of TTS instead of expecting the community as a whole to figure out who is allowed to post what?

*edit- I think I’d read that you have to put in an application to TTS, well, perhaps this can be added to their rules, if such are posted… that people do not speak on behalf of TTS. Food for thought, and just a suggestion.

KainRacure.1023:

Ok guys, Zarzag here. This is what I can tell you about what happened with TTS.

The first kill we did we were all REALLY excited. We had a theory on how it happened so we tested it out in the second fight. We figured this was the idea because we heard that it is how BG and Deso and TxS had gotten their kills.

Specifically what we thought was that we had to move the heads into certain positions and it stopped them from moving so much. We believed one of Amber’s positions was out by the camp or beyond. One of our commanders took that and flew with it. We took it much farther then we thought it could and honestly it excited us that it seemed to be working.

The comments about it being on farm were because we felt we had found the idea behind it and that we could put it in rotation much like we do with Teq. We kill Teq almost every run now and knowing it’s methods (such as with Teq we know exactly how may people we need to stop champ spawns on defense or how we know to use #1 on turrets during burn phases for roughly 10k dmg per hit) we felt that we could easily kill it the same each time.

At our 3rd attempt a couple of ANet Devs came in and explained that the Wurm was bugged and they were going to be shutting down the map and kicking everyone. They were polite and apologized about it.

They then came into our Teamspeak and talked with Merforga and I and explained what happened. They once again apologized to us for having to shut it down like that. We offered to them that we would not do Wurm until they hotfix the bug as we do not want to accidentally cause it again.

Also it was said above :

EDIT: I noticed that the post that the posts I referenced were removed (probably cuz the part I removed from the quote had an explanation of the bug in it) I guess I shouldn’t leave the edit post open so long and get distracted.

Well, that is what I, and others were commenting on. When folks come to the forums and lump in what was done on the 2nd TTS kill with what BG and Deso did and call it good, I took issue with that once I saw the video. Very different situations.

Then I’m told it was for bug reporting purposes…“TTS actually recognized it” etc, etc, (none of this ever mentioning a 3rd kill attempt btw) all I know is it was a TTS member. It is amazing to me that when someone is doing something the TTS community is happy about that tag is a good thing. Now, when it’s not so good, or other facts come to light, yeah, those people are in the guild, but they’re not leadership.. If someone is gonna toss that tag up, or into conversation, I have no means to verify their rank in the guild, and frankly, I shouldn’t have to. I’m not guild police. It’s your guild, you all need to be sure these people understand they shouldn’t run to forums and act like that. That’s why they call it representing.

I’m down to give anyone a pat on the back for a job well done, but not when they (some members, not all) say they did it cheating, accuse 2 others groups of doing so and then have the gumption to say huh? whaaat? we were just helping in finding that pesky bug everyone else has missed and not what you stated happened on the 3rd attempt.

Jabberwock.9014:

It wasn’t really a “tactic” until now, but in every kill that is what happened. It’s just that while it sometimes happened by accident before, we can now do it on purpose and bring it “TO THE MOON” as our most excellent commander would say.

I just watched your video ( http://www.twitch.tv/hellspriest/b/501386388 ), and I saw that the head was dragged way, way, way to the camp. It went down quite fast.

Here is the BG Amber kill video:

Amber becomes attack-able at 14:35
Fight ends with head in center of the red circle at 16:21

I see folks running around chasing it. I never see the head leaving that red circle.

Cobalt never left the circle, I was there for that one, but I don’t think our group got a video.

Crimson kill video for BG:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IrIWO7rEbk
I wasn’t at the Crimson fight, but from what I see in the video here, starting at 23:52 the head becomes attack-able, but it is unclear to me whether it is lured outside the circle or chased…. it does not seem to be lured (my husband just watched it with me) but since we have no commentary, it is hard to really know. I didn’t see people stack. We weren’t in the chat channel for Crimson. It certainly died outside the red circle.

Well, I will say this, if you have to lure it outside the circle to kill it, that should be fixed, as that is obviously not the way the fight is intended to work. It’s impossible to complete it consistently the way it is now.

*edit- all video links included and screenshot from the video TTS posted of where TTS dragged Amber head for kill. Ours was nothing like this, not even close.. and there was no luring that I could detect.

As much as I hate to say this, instead of relying or waiting on a proper response, just try it again. I know it sucks because I was there on BG too for the full kill. I can’t say (or guarantee) that it’d be rewarded for a successful kill, but last night we downed cobalt yet unfortunately failed and it gave me credit. So if it’s still bugged on a kill-kill, try to be on it during the tries leading up to the next one. At this point a lot of people have had this issue and I just don’t see it being manually rewarded by a dev to every single person.

Personally, I gave up when I kept getting copy/paste responses, and then my husband got the same exact ones, sans that last one, which was just.. . The chests are in the bank.

Right now, I’d rather stay away from the wurm, too buggy for the effort put into them, along with alot of other issues. I’ll try again when the bugs are worked out and the content is in-game for awhile.

As you may be aware, our ticket system automatically sends a survey after a ticket is resolved or closed.

I am having a pure coincidence day. I got one of these today, as did my husband. Mine seemed to be okay. His was kinda weird.. a large gray box in the middle of his screen, but I think it submitted okay.

What is odd, is for me, you say these are sent out when a ticket is resolved or closed? Mine was neither resolved or closed. I specifically asked that it be left open, and the GM said “We will leave this ticket open while we work on the situation”. It was my first ticket, so I don’t know how these surveys work. I did just post about the experience though in the bug report forum, as other people are having the same issue both me and my husband had. My husband never even responded to his last ticket, because he didn’t quite know what to say. My ticket is #315612 His is #315930. His is the one that had the odd looking survey box.

What browser(s) and Version(s) did you try?
Firefox 27.0

What is your ticket number?
#315930

What is the error message you receive, if any, or is the option to submit simply greyed out?
No error message, able to submit, but huge grey box in center of screen.

What is the URL of the survey page you were on when you were filling out a survey.
https://help.guildwars2.com/requests/315930/satisfaction/new/xEYOUc7lRKQNpof3o3CEjZnC7?locale=1&intention=4

Leads to this error: No such token: xEYOUc7lRKQNpof3o3CEjZnC7.
As he has already filled out the survey

Bumping… no reply to anyone yet?

I contacted support about this issue, and just today got my survey about “rate the support you received?” How weird that I came to forums and this thread is up.

Anyway, both me and my husband (who was also there for this fight, and experienced this same bug) got these responses, word for word until he got his last email, which was different from mine and was not a copy/paste:

It’s late here, but I read the OP, and have some thoughts I’d like to add, but.. if you don’t mind, I will come back in the light of morning and do so.

Night, fellow GW2 players

Really? They can add a horrendous looking moldy Dorito over your head but we still cant even turn on our own names for our viewing pleasure? Why?

Viola!

I do that to my husband and son all the time.

There seem to be alot of bugs with Triple Trouble.

I posted to a thread about it earlier in the week, that someone else had started. I’ve opened a ticket with support, as did my husband, and after some back and forth, (we both always got the same exact responses) I’ve decided that I’ll likely wait for awhile after release before working on something big like this again. We both submitted bug reports the same day, directly after it occurred (literally within minutes)
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Wurmslayer-Achievement-Bug/first#post3575592

Just too much work for the rewards (which I don’t have much of yet, because my chests are unopened waiting to see if support will help me and no achievement to boot) and too buggy for how much work is involved.

Shpongle.6025:

I am never touching this again. Ever. Just like Teakettle. After I got the cheevos, never touched it again.

I think I’ll be working to get the last few I need on a server where they’re looking for more help. Events earlier today/this evening weren’t a whole bunch of fun. We spent many hours the past few days on BG, but had spent numerous hours working with many OF’s since wurms went live, and I think we need to get back to that due to events on BG.

I may never get the title, but at least I won’t feel someone is making a dolyak rear end out of me, and that’s how I felt when I logged off BG tonight, and that’s not ever fun.

I say grats to you, TxS.

You know what folks? No one likes sour grapes. It’s a game, why can’t you just say “good on you!” pat a fellow human on the back, so to speak, have a coke and a smile, and I’m sure you know the rest.

Good lord.

We’re all progressing, and that’s a good thing!

WilliamDaBloody.2591:

Achievements are not bugged, you just need to make sure you get enough damange on the head. The damage numbers you are seeing can often come from adds.

It is like any other event, if you do not do enough damange you won’t get the chest / achievement.

If it were bugged no one could get them. And the majority of players actually gets credit when a head is killed. For me it was perfect on every three heads the first time I killed each.

Again congrats to the second kill to everyone who participated. Now let’s make it farmable. Still need that mini xD

I still prefer that the title would only be available to teams that actually killed the head. But I understand why is was done this way, so that people can get the title without hoping for other team to do the kill as well (see Marionette Dodging Frustrations)

I did a fair good job of playing whack-a-mole with that cobalt head and got the screenie showing it, but didn’t get the achievement as most others on BG Cobalt tonight didn’t either.

Muffins.3028:

Same here… killed cobalt and made sure to do dmg/stay alive and I’m still stuck at 1/3. In my attachment NO ONE from cobalt got credit either.

Believe I was with you there on BG, and nope, got no credit. None of us on Cobalt wyrm did. I won’t even open my chests until my ticket is answered in the hopes it will be rectified.

edit- *how funny, that’s my pet you have targeted in your screenie.
