I think the Midyear Mayhem Achievements are bugged

ShadowHvo

As the title says,

My group and I have been farming Imperial City for a good couple o' hours, and yet neither of us have gotten the achievement for killing the "Patrolling Horrors", and only few managed to get the achievement for killing the Trove Scamp.

We did a little bit of testing, and it seems to be the person who gets the killing blow, who also gets credit for their respective achievements. Naturally we cannot 100% confirm that this is the case, but we're pretty darn sure after we've killed every Patrolling Horror at least twice, and it only ever seems to be a single person who gets the credit for the kill.

We all get loot from the boss, but not credit towards the achievement. If this is really the case, then this should be fixed rather swiftly - because it sure has wasted our time.

Killing blow was how the player kills achievement was awarded last year iirc. This doesn’t immediately strike me as a bug.

That's the Wrath of the Whitestake achievement, yeah. This is the new Imperial City World Boss one, and that's not how other world boss achievements work.

Against players is a whole other subject though. We're talking about Group Bosses here, not single-player content.

You're meant to defeat these bosses in groups, to force every 6+ group to defeat every boss 6+ times for a completion is beyond ludicrous

Yeah not saying it’s a good design for the achievement, but it stands to reason it’s intended since that’s how the other “kill x” MM achievement works.

Yep something is not right, got the achievement on the normal IC boss list. Bit nothing on the new achievement boss list. Can Zos fix this ASAP please as getting into pvp is an achievement by itself atm. Lol

@ZOS_GinaBruno Any chance of getting this achievement issue resolved before the end of the event? Getting the killing blow on 50 players is a fair ask, but world bosses are NOT single-player content. Requiring the killing blow on multiple world bosses all on a shared spawn timer is not feasible.

If this issue cannot be resolved with a hotfix (especially with consoles) before the end of the event, could the event be extended if a fix is delayed? Perhaps retroactive credit via a script that could check player logs or compensation given to participating players if a fix is only feasible after the event? Thanks.

Challenge accepted.
