Shakki.3219 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 so why is every event scaling to infinity but on this one u can max spike like 2 times with a group and its over... this makes this achievement so icnredibly dumb while other events liek serpents ire scale beyond everything... i wish u would scale it abit so peopel can do at least 5-10 spikes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illconceived Was Na.9781 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 I'm not opposed to changing it; the events leading up to spiking do scale in a way that makes them take a while & the spiking part is over in seconds.On the other hand, the requirement is vaguely consistent with the AB meta achievement: Saving the City of Gold requires 100 victories. (Easy enough for those who like the loot; tedious as all heck for those who don't care that much about it.) Similarly, Realm-Portal Spiker requires 100 spikes, but at least it's theoretically possible to complete it with only 50 or fewer attempts.I don't like either achievement particularly; I just don't think it's all that unusual for GW2 to include a couple of chieves this annoying.

Really?Because I've seen that thing only passable with 40+ players and beyond impossible with 35 or less.While there's "group events" that yes I can see scales as I've soloed a few before but...

Sarpan.9074 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 OK, I've done this meta six or seven times now and I wholeheartedly concur with the OP.I've gotten four spikes out of those tries. It moves so fast that by the time that I can get to a residue, to the barrel and back to the portal, it's over.This is going to be a long slog. I don't mind valuable achievements taking time and effort, but this is really pushing it.Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadly Moonshiner.1354 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Should have played it before - when everybody complained that PoF metas suck or do not exist. There would be one or 2 people on each lane and we could do many more spikes per event. Now it's simply too many people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarpan.9074 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 It helps knowing that I could have done it easier a few months ago. I'll just fire up the ol' time machine and go back and do that. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrilana.1396 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 I averaged five spikes each time. You have to be quick to get your spikes in before others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
