Ayakaru.6583 Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 We need to 'kill' 500 crazed fans, but after a whole event of focussing my damage on these guys, I have gotten a grand total of*drum roll please4 counts.4 counts, after like.. what.. 50 fans 'killed'?So I thought.. is there like a DPS barrier?but then I noticed, that even if I start the fight as they spawn, they still don't count, most of the time.Are we killing them too fast, they don't register as event creatures yet?what is wrong with these crazed fans?This achievement is nigh impossible at this rateTried again today focussing all my heavy guns on these guys, and got a few over 10 counts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VAHNeunzehnsechundsiebzig. Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 no, for them to count you need to get, in my experience at least, more than 8k damage in. But they die so fast that it is really hard to do.Basically the scaling of that event is completely busted. A bug anet doesnt even see as a bug.

Khisanth.2948 Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Mine advanced by 28 after one or two concerts, forgot when it checked it last.Hopefully then don't work like the weapon kill achievements ...@"VAHNeunzehnsechundsiebzig.3618" said:no, for them to count you need to get, in my experience at least, more than 8k damage in.

Bloodstealer.5978 Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 There is just a damage ceiling.. its actually more like 6.5k damage.The issue is with so many players after the kills its not so easy to get enough damage in for many as they are toast in a few seconds... just great mob scaling as usual.

Galmac.4680 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Hmm, got my 500 of them even with a condi necro (scourge and reaper). But yes, they die quite fast, often too fast. My hint: ignore everything else from the concert, just focus on them and do your best burst damage you can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even at 25-ish per concert, it is still a whopping 20 concerts. And that's 20 concerts of doing NOTHING but killing fans. If I were to stop and spam /cheer and /salute, it would take longer. I think the devs forgot that "make longer-lasting content" doesn't mean make achievements that take a month to do.'cos this isn't the only one. I'm looking straight at you, pass the torch.Passing the torch was a lot easier, since its part of the intended gameplay.But if you want the achievement done in a decent timeframe you'll have to play counter intuitively and just throw torches at the pick up site.Achievements should never have you go against the intended gameplay in my opinion.. But here we are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anen.1742 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 I am able to tag betwen 40 and 60 fans per concert with a longbow on DH. I would simply suggest you increase your dps :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaralyna.3104 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 I get about 50 per event. Am not at 500 yet. But I hope players that got the achievement will not kill them (accidents excluded ofcourse). Just like I don't put fire on ppl so others can get that achievement as I have it already. Similar to the north meta in Thunderhead Peaks that also had an achievement needing x amount shared among players.P.s My bet is that a lot of players will flock to Halloween tomorrow and next month to episode 1 of the saga meaning less players at the concert fans.
