2024 Update: This is happening to me as well! I've completed tribulation mode w1z1 three times now but still haven't received credit towards the '(Annual) World 1 Challenge' achievement 😞

Just completed a post-patch run with a bit over 10 minutes left on timer - still bugged!!!

I take it this is still bugged?

Just tried this again tonight - still bugged 😢

This definitely is still not working. Like others have stated, I got 6 mins to knightfall way back in the day - but now I cannot get 6 more mins to knightfall. Please fix soon! 😁

I would love this as well, and I actually suggested this exact same option when KO CM came out - as that was getting annoying to prog as groups early on would basically immediately wipe when finally getting to the Sniper/Mech phase. And HT CM takes this issue to a whooole 'nother level.

When raiding first came out, I joined some training runs, but (due to rl commitments) the few I was able to attend didn't last long - as folks would bail after an hour or so - and that was that. Also, one night I had an unpleasant experience with a training run (which again didn't last very long) turned semi-exp, where I was told to run an ele build which I had never ran before. Things didn't go well and I was basically yelled at for failing. That left a bad taste in my mouth. In addition, assuming I had gotten full training, guilds were consistently doing runs after right reset, and that just didn't match up with my playtimes. And so as time went on, I felt further and further 'left behind' and didn't bother with raids until Emboldened mode - when other new folks would also be trying them out on a 'no pressure' basis. Further, power creep and various YouTube raid guides (MuklukYouTube ftw!) no doubt help as well. Concerning EOD strikes, when those came out I made sure to play them right away in order to avoid 'getting left behind again' like I did with raids. And so when the CMs came out - I felt confident that I knew the mechanics well enough to attempt them.

I haven't experienced this myself as I've just been running Emboldened wings; but if true, then yes, ANet should definitely address this issue. And so I'll amend my previous comment by stating that the Emboldened concept itself is fine and should remain as-is.

Emboldened Mode has given myself and others like me the necessary 'boost' (pun intended) to try raids without fear of being ridiculed. This in turn will increase the raid population and is undoubtedly a good thing for the game. Emboldened also isn't a total 'win-mode' as failing certain key mechanics will still wipe your party (e.g. Xera shields or Dhuum greens). Plus, only one raid wing per week is emboldened - and as others have stated, if you don't want it on, then simply turn it off. TL;DR - Emboldened fine as is.

As I just ran KO CM with a mostly guild group on discord, I guess I can now reply to my own post. Looking soley at whether or not discord is required, currently TGE seems like the harder title to get due to the tight coordination required to get past the mech/sniper phase. Seems like if all know that they're doing there, then it's relatively not too hard to accomplish? Granted I still haven't seen the final Minister Li phase (which I hear is really hectic). But without taking into account whether or not discord is needed, I'm thinking GitV would be harder - due to the extreme dps check, and folks needing to stay upright while Ankka has 6 void stacks?

And why? Asking folks who have both titles. Also, in order to get TGE, does the whole group need to be on discord? I'm asking this because I commanded a successful GitV run and we didn't use discord, and I also don't have TGE yet.

Many thanks for the replies. Finally got this after several days of pugging. Our group comp was: 1 cScourge, 1 cVirtuoso, 3 cSpecters, 2 Mirage Alacs, 1 Qfb, 1 Cele Qfb, 1 HScourge We just barely eeked it out (finished her off while almost fully enraged; had several downs along the way), but we got it and that's all that matters, right!?! Also, at phase 3 we got Ankka to 28% for breakbar 1 and 10% for breakbar 2. From my experience, that seems to be the minimum health %s you'll need to get this achievement. Here's our dps log: https://dps.report/0kMI-20220530-111559_ankka

Short and sweet - what is the ideal group comp for the GitV achievement?

As these strike CMs become more difficult, it would be extremely helpful to allow setting them to begin at a particular phase strictly for practice purposes (no rewards). Case in point - with yesterday's release of the Kaineng Overlook CM, I've practiced for hours with multiple groups, but we simply can't get past the mech/sniper phase. And what's worse is when you finally get there, a wipe can occur fairly early - which ofc means you have to go through the first couple phases again just to attempt that part. In the meantime, group morale gets lower and lower, and folks start bailing. And then new folks join, who may or may not know the CM mechanics - which further puts a strain on those who've stuck around. Also, the precedent for skipping phases has already been set with story mode achievements. And so why not also incorporate this into strike CMs?

As I hate to rush through things, I haven't done much yet with the story . But I really enjoy the little I've seen so far (and fishing is quite fun lol). But I really, really like the new strikes, especially the last one Harvest Temple! Totally blows away the IBS ones in terms of difficulty. And the music at the end - epic! Kudos Anet!!
