Rikimaru.7890 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Yeah it's the hidden achievement for playing an instrument during Metal Legions concert while on the stage.However I do not own any instrument offered by on the TP so I thought it was beyond my grasp.Fortunately I remembered that I do own instruments like the Choir Bells and Super Boom Boxes.As it turned out the Boom Boxes did the trick for me and I did get the achievement, so if you are in the same boat as me you can obtain the achievement this way.However the real reason I'm making this post is because the Choir Bells don't seem to work. I know this because even if you already have the achievement you will still get knocked off the stage if you attempt to play an instrument during the concert, however playing the Bells does not make this happen.Which is strange considering they are more instruments than the Boom Boxes, so is this a bug or intentional?Because if it is intentional then it's a bit of a low blow from ANET, because it just means they wish to "motivate" players to buy the instruments on TP, which is made pretty obvious by the fact they are selling them all at a discount atm.

RoseofGilead.8907 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 The Magnanimous Choir Bell does work. The Unbreakable Choir Bell does not, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HazyDaisy.4107 Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 I tried the bass guitar the first time I tried the achievement, a gem store purchased item and guess what...it didn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anybody put in a bug report yet to let them know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you are not FORCED to buy anything. The achievement is hidden, even, and is worth only 1 point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The achievement is hidden, even, and is worth only 1 point.It can also be bought for less than 20 silver or obtained as a drop from wintersday gifts.Plus, it's not like the achievement is going anywhere, people can always come back at any time to get it after they have obtained some kind of instrument whether they went out of their way to buy it or not.

Ryukai.6524 Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Just tested out my Music Box, they do not get you kicked off (so no achievement) and more surprisingly and concerning they do still 'take over' the music in the area during the concert.
