100 kills in IC arena not probable

Conquers

I am an achievement seeker
In IC I have the achievement to kill 100 players while in the arena of arena district. there are multiple reasons why this achievement is not possible

1. Caltrops glitch keeps enemies from entering, yes I can tell people not to do that but next...
2. You need the killing blow or it doesn't count
3. Arena district is empty

Possible fix: either make it so that Caltrops glitch is fixed, or make it 500 players anywhere in arena district

You're totally right. As a completionist myself, can't miss any achievement on my way through the game and I see this one among the more annoying ones. By the time I decide to complete that achievement, IC Arena will be totally empty, best chance was during early days of IC.

My only hope is a guild and friends, somehow put them together to do this achievement together.

PvP objectives in districts please!!

I totally agree that this is a feat that will definitely take some time and effort to complete. I felt like I killed like 4 one day and when I checked my achievements it said one. I was wondering how this is suppose to happen but I feel like something may need done about this as well.

XBox completionist tragic here, who has so far (as my new Elite is taking two days as usual to download the game onto itself thanks ZOS so I cannot access the game at present) played almost 1600 hours, all on console.
About 250 hours of that in IC.

So far not seen a single opposition player inside the actual arena on either of the two servers I have access to.
One is my home Pact buff, and my primary campaign the most used XBox EU Pvp Azura.
Plenty of fights outside of the gates, but never inside.

Perhaps it's just my singular experience?

First of all you don't actually have to be inside the arena itself to get credit for this achievement. I have gotten some of the kills for this achievement around the arena where that wandering Daedroth patrols.

Secondly in the campaign I used which is usually mostly made up of my faction there were still plenty of people from EP and DC for us to fight. In fact, they even started to outnumber us after awhile! If the place is empty then try a different campaign. I do not advise non-Vet campaigns as non-Vet characters have hell in IC and thus people in those campaigns avoid it like the plague.

Im at 22 I think. Long way to go. I think IC should be the same between all Campaigns, otherwise I see IC becoming a ghost town.

Jump on to a campaign dominated by another alliance and go to the arena district at a peak time (EU server between 6-10pm GMT for example) and enter the arena and enter stealth. Eventually you will come across groups farming the arena and two chests and their is always someone that decides to check their gear or use their chair emote while the main group run to the portals. Kill said person then rinse and repeat 100 times. Also hope that group doesn't check arena for stealthed players before they engage boss. That is probably your best bet and it sounds like a mind numbing task tbh but if your a completionist I'm sure your used to doing stuff like that for achievements

Also at less busy points on these overrun servers you may find a small group of players farming on their own allowing you to use an execute on a player the mobs have got to low health counting as your kill but expect a lot of abuse if you watch 2-3 players fighting the devourer for 15 mins only to kill them as soon as they let themselves get low

ZOS should have named this Achievemernt "body snatcher"

Are you absoloutely sure about this? I have gotten kills outside in the general arena district and it did not seem to count.

This achievement will probably not be achieved the way it was designed to be.

Katinas

PVP guilds that focus on duelling should go duel there. It's lore-friendly, motivates people to get achievement quicker and would attract people from outside the guilds to come and get involved.

Find a friend in another alliance.. take no tel var stones with you. Kill each other over and over again until you both have the achievement. There done.

Yes I am sure, as I only fought one EP inside the arena and that was a zergfest against him by my allies and myself and naturally the killing blow was not mine since I was there with a rather lacking skillset lol

As long as you are in the Arena District in its entirety you can get kill credits for the achievement, provided the killing blow is yours of course.

Well, as someone that has the achievement I can say with absolute certainty that kills outside of the actual arena do NOT count. Not even if they're the killing blow. EDIT: Hmm, tho they may have changed that in Orsinium...

Are you on PC or Xbox? Because I am on PS4 and I can vouch for the fact they do. After all, my achievement is sitting at 6/100 and I only helped fight one enemy player inside the arena.

Just to make sure we are all on the same page though: "inside of the arena" is where you fight the Clannfear, Harvester, Ogrim, and Ringmaster whereas outside is every other portion of the entire Arena District.

Have Arena (EU) or Legend (NA) hold dueling sessions inside there. Might help get a few kills.

TequilaFire

I got to 64 kill in arena area last night, but I think 50 were from one certain player that just wouldn't learn. lmao
I will give him a cookie for trying though!
IC in PS4 Thornblade NA was quite busy last night, many invading yellows and a handful of stubborn blues fighting with them.

Was a lot of fun compared to the normal arena boredom.

On a side note while it is tougher a lot of us play our non vet characters in IC possible because of battle leveling.

Conquers

Hey guys thanks for the responses, I think I will try to host a dueling session there on ps4 NA Azura star
It will be fun too if people remain organized

We can have many people from all factions enter arena and just do 1v1s etc, and allow eachother to revive.

UltimaJoe777

I apologize for my previous posts. I was mistaking the "Kill 100 Players in the Imperial City" achievement with the 1 in the arena lol so my bad.

nordsavage

The first problem with this games achievements is that they are not account wide. Second they impose ridiculous goals on some like 100 trove and a separate 100 cunning scamps, really if you have bad luck you could spend a year getting those.
