[BUG] Holiday event Midyear Horror achievement bugged

IxxiKuro · July 2018

PS4 EU, PSN Hestia7399

While running around with a small group (4 people) in IC sewer districts to kill the patrolling horrors for the Midyear Horror achievement most people did not get credit for the boss killed. Range went from 0 to 4 bosses ticked off after killing 5 of them.

Since this is a limited time event please fix this as it's very frustrating trying to get an achievement if the kills don't count 90% of the time.

Can you confirm if your group was the only one around killing the Patrolling Horrors, or if there were other players too?

pema · July 2018

Submitted a ticket and can confirm on EU sotha we killed the flying eye and the skeleton both didn't tick to any of our achievements. we were in a group.

@ZOS_GinaBruno Same happened to us, only 1 person in our group got credit for killing a trove scamp and district boss.

We were the only group targeting bosses

I just participated in killing two bosses (got loot + tv stones too), none were ticked off for the achievement. (PC EU)

Was in same group and it was a group of 5 no one else was there . I did 5 of them none registered .

VaranisArano · July 2018

Sounds similar to the problem with the Conquest Kill 40 Enemy Players quest, which also doesn't assign credit for kills properly when grouped.

Last year achievements were also bugged

Ok, thanks for the info. We're digging into this and will have an update soon.

Not counting for me either, killed like 6 bosses in a small group, got 0 credit. PC EU

@ZOS_GinaBruno
Thanks for looking into it . Can provide whatever more info I can if needed

IxxiKuro · July 2018

@ZOS_GinaBruno Thanks for the reply and for looking into this. Like Perardua said, we were in a group of first 4 then 5 and nobody was around when we killed bosses still almost nobody in the group got credit.

Aliyavana · July 2018

Thank you for replying. Achievements are important to me

Will it be fixed with hotfix, or we need to wait until next incremental patch next week? @ZOS_GinaBruno

TRoclodyte · July 2018

Same here. Killed 2 horrors and I didn't get any credit.

Also worth mentioning I had to kill 2 trove scamps to get the achievement and I had to capture 22 resources (farms, mines, lumbermills)

We don't know yet, but we're looking into options. Right now, only the player with the killing blow is getting credit, but we'd like to change that.

CGPsaint · July 2018

Xbox/NA here. Experiencing the same. Have killed 6-7 and only received credit for killing one.

IxxiKuro · July 2018

@ZOS_GinaBruno I just did the trove scamp one with someone and we had to kill 1 each for it to count for both of us.
Fixing these kill counts would be much appreciated since especially the boss one is going to be near impossible to get otherwise.

@ZOS_GinaBruno
Hope you can get it fixed soon as the whole festival has been a mess , delayed cos pvp is broken . Glad I don’t have your job dealing with the constant issues with new content . I hope you have a word with the upper management about never being able to release a patch / event without it not working as intended , bugged etc . Been playing since beta but really wondering where the focus is now , good content or crown store
Thanks for the job you are doing , shame QA aren’t as thorough as you n the community team

So literally EVERY new Midyear achievement is bugged...? Just wow.

PerArdua · July 2018

No the battleground 1 worked , lol

Chaos2088 · July 2018

So literally EVERY new Midyear achievement is bugged...? Just wow.

Think its just the killing count of two of the new achievements aka only get if get the killing blow. Sure ZoS will be fixing it soon.

Also hope we get an extra few days for it, as was hoping to get all achievements done of one character this evening...pretty please zos!

Kaartinen · July 2018

There has been a killing blow "bug" since 2015 for achievements relating to killing the patrolling horrors.

pema · July 2018

@ZOS_GinaBruno does this also go for the scamps? Earlier we found one (yeey) and I got the kill and the loot but not the achievement.

ChiknAriseMcFro · July 2018

1 here for Xbox NA. Looks like its on all platforms.

Morgul667 · July 2018

Many people have the issue

bert420 · July 2018

suffering the same bug not managed to land the killing blow yet to anything >.<

GChaseXmas · July 2018

Yup, can confirm the bug is still there on XBOX1. Ive killed bosses by myself (others attacking it as well) and group and despite having killed all bosses at least once. I only have credit for one. Hopefully @ZOS_GinaBruno the event will be extended as many days as it takes to get the bugged fixed.

agree . these events are now just frustration and anger- rather than anything else. especially for the end gamers who are competeive , like myself - and want to hva an experience that refelcts skill and effort. not lag.
