Kill 20/40 player quests don't generally both get credit for kills

jrfk2 · July 2022

So am usually running Cryodiil with a group of friends and we'll have the kill 20/40 player quests .. and my impression for those quests is that if you do enough damage to a player, not necessarily kill them outright, or if you are nearby a team mate who does enough damage .. and that opposing player dies (now or while you are still in Cryodiil) then that should count toward both the kill 20 and kill 40 player quests.

But generally in game I will see one of them tick off and not the other .. like I'll start the session with both at 0 .. yet when I complete the kill 20 quest I don't have 20 kills towards the kill 40 quest ..
So curious if there is more to what contributes towards a kill such that one will increment and the other will not ..

So I believe the kill 20 player quest counts even if a group mate damages the opponent or even gets the killing blow.

But the kill 40 one doesn't seem to work if a group mate damages the enemies.

So, for example, if you are running solo, even with a zerg at a big keep fight, you will progress both quests equally. But the moment join group with someone, the kill 40 will be dependent on what your group mate is doing.

20 is easy, team members can fill it for you, solo the slightly scratch will get you credit.

40 is buggy as hell, always has been. Again, solo even the slightest hit will get you credit. But grouped it's just a hot mess. Just grouped with one other person the game will just randomly decide who to give credit to. You can do 95% of damage and the other person who got one light attack in may get credit. Or vice versa.

I had one funny one where I shared the quest, I was at like 35/40 already. My friend i was fighting side by side with the whole time finished it before I did. We ended up just experimenting to see if it was because they were dealing more damage. It wasn't.

Kill 40 is so bugged that our group's healers have an easier time completing it than most of the DDs, it's bizzare.
The Kill 20's all work as expected.

Yeah you need to get the KB if grouped for Kill 40, but assists in groups work for Kill 20.

That’s why I always solo for K40. Get it done much faster.
