kellin.7594 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Previously reported, still not updating. Insect Slayer Achievement is stuck at 913/1000. Other Slayer achievements appear to be advancing correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellin.7594 Posted September 15, 2017 Author Share Posted September 15, 2017 Contrary to what might be assumed, the insects are indeed (ironically) bugged. Old forums had several folks with the same issue. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illconceived Was Na.9781 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 I have tried to progress the achievement on my alt account without success. I tried killingWasps & Fireflies in Gendarran, both of which should count according to the wiki.In Caledon/The Verdance, I killed Termites (which aren't 'insects' apparently), wasps, mosquitoesIn Silverwastes, I killed Giant Spotted Beetles and Giant Beetles.

kellin.7594 Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 I've also killed a variety of insects on a variety of maps. So, definitely bugged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sariel V.7024 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 What are you using to kill these critters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I'm pretty sure that the method of killing doesn't matter much as long as your character is responsible for the killing blow.My alt has no problem progressing wurms (via nearby grubs in several of the locations); only the Insect Slayer achievement was stalled.

Sariel V.7024 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I had gotten slayer confused with weapon mastery. Kills by pets, minions, phantasms, and condition damage all do not count towards weapon mastery. I don't think that applies to Slayer achievements but it could be worth a look.That said, I looked at the original thread and this appears too widespread to be just an issue with those things.

First, you have to learn that 'killing while wielding' isn't sufficient, then you have to unlearn that :(@Sariel V.7024 said:I don't think that applies to Slayer achievements but it could be worth a look.As I said, I was careful to ensure that the killing blow was delivered by weapons, not even from utilities.That said, I looked at the original thread and this appears too widespread to be just an issue with those things.It's a weird one for sure.

Chronodrax.7526 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I noticed this bug a month ago and sent a ticket last week about it after making sure I wasn't doing anything wrong or hitting the wrong insects.I got no answer yet though I'm glad that at least one of you got one :)Just to add some more info about the bug :Insect slayer is the only one stuck for me, at 487/500.I tried killing all kinds of insects in all kinds of regions this last month but nothing made it increase by even 1 point. I tested all other slayer achievements, they work fine.Insect slayer works fine for my friends, as well as all other slayer achievements they actively tested so far.So few people seem to be affected by this bug, or maybe many people didn't notice/check ? or already finished it I suppose :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I killed an insect, achievement incremented by +1. Killed a drake; drake slayer +1. And for good measure, killed a devourer and got +1 on that chieve, too.@Thenme.6491 what did you kill and where? Perhaps it's just a specific type of foe or some other unexpected mismatch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
