[BUG] Holiday event Midyear Horror achievement bugged

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?

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

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

    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.

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

    @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.

    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

    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! :wink:

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

    @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.

    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.
