Was getting the killing blow intentional for Messy Business?

It sure is frustrating. Very hard to find people outside of zergs in Cyrodiil and there is no way I can get the killing blow in a zerg.

I'm wondering if this is intentional? Like the Imperial City boss killing achievements that were originally like this but got changed.

Read about this in one of the forum users guides. I had a sinking feeling that we’d eventually get a holiday achievement where I’d throw my arms up and say I give up and this is the one.

They should of had it so long as you hit the player with a pie and you hit them before they die it counts or if you’re in a group and someone in your group throws a pie at a player and everyone that hits that player gets a tick kinda like with the kill 40 players quest. Also you have limited ammo since there isn’t a memento for pie throwing. How frustrating would it be if you manage to make it to 9 of 10 kills and then run out of pies.

Sad that this achievement is as difficult as actually getting Emperor. I think I’ll sit this one out.

18 pies on players I hit who died whilst coated in my pie goo. 3 achievement credits. And for what? Clearing one of 4,312 achievements in the game? No thanks. Booo!

Ugh, that’s a low rate. Imagining all the the toons I’d have to run those three Jester’s Quests on to accrue enough ammo to give me a solid chance plus the fact that I am only a semi decent pvper. Sounds nausiating.

Not even gonna try this one. I was wondering if you had to make the killing blow and it looks like folks are saying it also has to be your pie as well as your killing blow. Nope not even gonna go to Cyrodiil during this event.

Was properly disappointed when a guild member confirmed it was killing blow only.

But instead of getting salty about it, we teamed up, met in Cyro in a calm campaign, in a corner away from the frontline, pied and killed each other 10 times. No stress, no frustration. A few laughs. And a nice new title.

Why not use this chance to become a better PvPer? Get out of a zerg and go solo. Trust me once you get used to not having the crutch of free rezes your survival sense will go up a lot.

I simply met up with a friend in another alliance and we took each other out 10 times each. Very simple to do!

My thought exactly. The time limit of the pie goo should be challenge enough.

Eh, I've been wanting to get into PVP. But the sorta stress from this achievement being a limited time thing isn't really helping me get into the mood.
