Sylvia.7530 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Being an achievement hunter, Dodgy Crowd is one of the more aggravating achievements I've come across. The goal is to get through the first part of the instance without dying (easy) and avoid all sand pools and wind walls during the fight with Togonn Windmane (a bit trickier). Following Dulfy's guide found here: http://dulfy.net/2014/12/03/gw2-seeds-of-truth-living-world-story-achievements-guide/, it's much easier to do with a friend doing the bulk of the damage against the boss while you spend most of your time making sure to avoid the key attacks. I tried to solo this one about twenty times before giving up and begging my husband to help me. On a daredevil, he was able to burn down the boss pretty quickly while I stayed out of harm's way - WOOT! Then we ran into a bug. It sounds like the achievement is supposed to pop once Togonn dies, however, we continued through to the end of the instance with it still showing that I qualify for the achievement but it doesn't automatically reward like it is supposed to. I'm not sure what triggers this bug, my only guess was that maybe I didn't get a hit in on Togonn (even though the achievement doesn't actually say that you need to kill him, just avoid two of his attacks). So we did another run a couple days later (because I was grumpy). I made sure to do a bit of damage, got to the end of the instance and it still showed as "Qualify for Dodgy Crowd" but doesn't reward. I currently have a support ticket open to see if they're able to manually give me credit for the achievement, because I really don't want to keep beating my head against the wall hoping I get lucky since I don't know what's causing the problem in the first place. Attached is a screenshot I took at the end of the instance.https://drive.google.com/open?id=18J6GOaxAFe8b0RgHWzSGk8-L3cOw6ga7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArenaNet Staff Jeffrey Vaughn.1793 Posted February 1, 2018 ArenaNet Staff Share Posted February 1, 2018 Did you get participation credit (bronze medal or higher) for the event "Defeat Togonn Windmane."? It's not explicitly stated in the achievement, but you need to have helped in the fight. (Just doing a little bit of damage might not be enough.)

Sylvia.7530 Posted April 5, 2018 Author Share Posted April 5, 2018 That could be it. I didn't take a video last time I tried and I can't remember for sure. Once I retry it I'll let you know! Thanks for the tip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
