Gonna go out on a limb here and guess this wasn't fixed as an unlisted change in today's patch, huh?

Yeah, I've searched the Balance event chain, his idle dialogues near the waypoint, and followed him through the main meta event. /Laugh never triggers an achievement at any point, let alone Lyhr speaking any dialogue or laughter that fits the achievement's description text of 'joining in' on anything.

The wiki lists a hidden achievement under the Amnytas achievement panel page called 'Laugh Like Lyhr Is Watching' with the description "Laugh when Lyhr asks you to join in with him. Raise your stein!" After having run both Lyhr's event chain in the Bastion of Balance and every event he's part of during the meta, I've not found a moment where he encourages the player to laugh. Has anyone earned this achievement that can enlighten me as to what I'm missing here, what are we supposed to /laugh in response to?

Earned the achievement yesterday, its very doable if you know the mechanics! Here's the key: the Toxic Spider cannot use the cocoon attack on targets in point blank range. The solution then is to take a small group into a private instance (I duo'd it in my case) to avoid the danger of a random ruining it for everyone and then when starting the fight, have all party members blink or stealth in on the spider to start the fight (lest she open with the cocoon attack on the run in). From there, everyone must stay in melee range for the duration of the fight, otherwise it proceeds as normal: break bars, avoid toxic stalks, etc. If done right with these constraints, its no harder than killing any other strong melee champ.
