bjchase.3074 Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 I understand not getting credit if another player gets the killing blow. But when I am the only one attacking that target and a condition gets the killing blow it doesn't count. Has to be a physical attack. That has to be a bug. Otherwise seems like for every 10 kills I get one credit. Fire Guardian for pistol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a massive pain to deal with, for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady of Chaos.2514 Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 (edited) Just go kill some ambient creatures. Those count for kills. Edited February 29 by Lady of Chaos.2514 typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vets immediately right of the entrance to Urban Battleground (fractal) also count. However, a corollary bug: I have completed t1 of warrior staff, some in Nayos, most on those vets, and the Wizard's Vault did not give me credit in the Special section for doing so.

Faebe.7341 Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 I got the reward with ele pistol, no problem there but I was struggling getting to 100 in open world where almost nothing would count probably because of condi dmg? power dmg alone is way too low on pistol to finish anything off, so I went to a fractal where you can 1-shot enemies and then then got it pretty quick with just 111 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRoode.7318 Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 No matter how many foes my Mesmer kills with a rifle, I never get credit towards the kill. Stays at 0/100. I tried this in Queensdale killing bandits alone to make sure it was my rifle executing the kill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRoode.7318 Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 To confirm I tried this in Queensdale against bandits. I was the only one there. Kills stay at 0/100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I KNOW RIGHT!?!?! I wasn't getting kill credits in the higher-level area so I figured it because the damage it deals is so low. But I'm not getting kill credit anywhere.

ArenaNet Staff Rubi Bayer.8493 Posted February 29 ArenaNet Staff Share Posted February 29 As some of you have figured out, this is happening regardless of weapon or profession because the achievement only progresses when you make the killing blow with a weapon skill. If you do not make the killing blow with a weapon skill, or if the "killing blow" comes from a condition, the achievement does not progress. We're working on a change that will progress this achievement as long as you deal any damage with the relevant weapon. Achievement progress will be granted for the weapon(s) you are wielding when the enemy dies. We need to test this extensively across all professions to make sure that nothing causes players to lose achievement progress they have already earned, so we are planning for this to ship with the March 19 systems update. 7 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjchase.3074 Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 I did Warrior staff to get the Vault special done since that is straight up physical damage (no condi damage to get in the way). I got 100 kills and completed tier 1 of Artisan of Arms Warrior Staff. But no credit to completing the Vault special "Complete Tier 1 of an Artisan of Arms Achievement".

bjchase.3074 Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 I see Rev Scepter also doesn't have condi to get in the way. Just did 100 kills with that and the Vault special is now complete. So Warrior staff is bugged and doesn't give credit for the Vault special "Complete Tier 1 of an Artisan of Arms Achievement". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Rubi! But to be clear, I tried it using Skill 1 and there were no conditions on my target. I still did not get credit for a kill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArenaNet Staff Rubi Bayer.8493 Posted March 1 ArenaNet Staff Share Posted March 1 I've got one more update on this! We did identify a separate issue with warriors that is also affecting this achievement. We've got a fix in for it and are working on getting it to you as soon as we can. 5 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
