Swamp Rescuer Bugged

I've been trying to chip away at this achievement and it *felt* bugged. Today I snagged some evidence. Basically the NPCs are spawning and not counting towards their respective 'ticks'. Not sure if they're mis-labelled or just not counting at all.

My achievement progress before the encounter (with the encounter in the background)

The NPC name (clearly "Root-House")

My achievement afterwards (Root-House still not ticked)

It's frustrating enough trying to get these RNG achievements when they're working correctly. ZOS please help!

    I can confirm this happened to me as well. I saved a Bright-Throat villager and got credited for a Miredancer villager on one of my characters.

    I am seeing this also. I know I have done several of these, but the only one recorded in my journal is "Root-House Villager" from a couple months ago. I just "rescued Miredancer Villager" but it is still greyed-out in my journal.

    I'm betting this is related to this bug:

    The same thing happens, I get the encounter with Choixth, but it's not logged in my journal so every time is always the "first time".

    Guess what's still broken?

    @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_KaiSchober @ZOS_SarahHecker

    I don't know who needs to know, but it's been literally years and this is still not fixed. Clearly not game breaking, but not cool.

    I FINALLY got the last one during the Murkmire event, and I started playing the day that DLC came out.

    They spawn infrequently enough to make this achievement frustrating on its own, but to have it bugged is so much worse.

    Yep, still bugged. Rescued the Dead-Water villagers and didn't get credit.

    Coming back to say this happened to me again. Saved a couple of Bright-Throat villagers but was credited with Dead-Water villagers.

    Figured I'd toss a refresher in here since I've been running into this issue all week. I've saved the Root-House villager 6 times now, regardless that he's been named after other tribes. Very frustrating and never a response from Zos. Even an acknowledgement would be nice.

    Lost track of exactly how long I've been working on this achievement, but it's been months in the works.

    I'm having the same issue. :/

    I wonder maybe ZOS (@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_KaiSchober @ZOS_SarahHecker) are really busy with the next chapter for now and will work on this once it's out. But, anyway, it's a pity they do seem like still haven't even noticed this thread.

    Looking forward to finally resolving it and gaining the achievement!

    So, after hours upon hours, day after day, something clicked and it accepted the proper tribes. Hopefully it works out for you guys too!

    At least some you manage to find them even if they're bugged. I've been stuck with the same progression as the initial post for 2 months now. The only things I find at the spawn locations are swamp musk and ambush chests. In my opinion, this achievement, with the elder orcs in Orsinium and the argonian in Summerset are the worst type of content. Please zos, never do this again :(

    still bugged. just saved "moss-skin" and it didn't count
  • deleted210809-001958
    UPDATE: looks like they are actually counting, you just can't see it in the list. Just saved argoninas with 3 missing points in the list, but still got the achivement

    Could you clarify where the bug is in your screenshot?

    The achievement is for ticking off villagers from four tribes. You rescued them from four different tribes. They got ticked off on the achievement. After that the achievement will stop ticking off additional villagers, just like after you complete 3 daily or 1 weekly endeavor the rest will stop counting even if you fulfill the requirements.

    This quest is STILL bugged. I saved the Moss Skin villagers yesterday, and it does not show complete. Prior to that I saved another and it counted as a different one, and before that it didn't record another one - unfortunately I don't remember which in those two cases.
    These damn "rare encounter" quests are annoying enough without bugs like this.

    On a good note, I did finish the Choixth one, Surreptitiously Shadowed.

    Edit: I just found the Copper Eyes, which I already had ticked off, but I saved them anyway in case it gave me one of the three I was missing, and it awarded me the achievement.

    This has just happened to me as well. Rescued the Copper-Eyes two days ago and the Root-House yesterday. Neither were checked off. I had two others (not sure which ones as I'm not in the game) but it did not give the the achievement.

    I was able to complete this achievement.

    Note that the description of the achivement presents 6 possible encounters with tribes

    In fact only 4 among 6 are needed

    I didn't notice any bug for this one. Just painful and time consuming

    The description also clearly says "four."
