This doesn't seem like very good design considering when you are in a full instance if you are a bit slow you wont make it to the crystal in time to even get the special action key.... I'm stuck at 6/10 for about a week now. I'm not even slow and I touch the icon.. it starts loading and then everyone just gets jerked away before it ends. The bar only goes about halfway and then it just stops!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niteraven.1372 Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 I guess the only thing to do is run up and stand by the prism BEFORE they even die! VERY VERY poor design!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VERY VERY poor design!! yep that what I did, I used 1 sp action break on the bosses and then ran straight to the prism and let everyone else finish breaking. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungo Zen.9364 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Pretty disappointed to see this is a bug or poorly implemented design. I am 2/10 after 8 runs. I have hit the crystal 5 or 6 times from those 8 runs. I will try camping the crystal but, man, what utter garbage. 2/10 for you ANET, do better.

Ayrilana.1396 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 (edited) Quickly get on mount to get back to the crystal again. I was able to progress it 2-3 times each phase. I also believe the attack has to do the full animation in order to count. Edited June 15, 2021 by Ayrilana.1396 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucianTheAngelic.7054 Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Just want to bump this since this bug is still happening. Did 5 Dragonstorms so far and have only gotten credit for 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As stated previously in this thread, you must use the Special Action key at the end of the event, and the Special Action must complete for credit.

Well then that’s horrendous design and the achievement has extremely poor wording. Similar meta based achievements with similar wording in the past have never required such specific action to get credit for a 15+ minute event. They should change it (either the wording or how credit is given) on that fact alone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manXxon.3219 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Been using the special action skill on both dragons in enough runs to pretty much get all the other achievements. Still 0/10, so obviously somethings wrong with the achievement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ra Ra.9423 Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 I guess this bug still isn't fixed. Just completed Dragonstorm, but the achievement count didn't progress. I received the end chest. I activated the last special activation skill for Aurene, though I don't think it completed the channel. Regardless, the achievement should progress upon the award of the end chest, as is normally done. Just bumping this up, that this bug is apparently still here on the Double (Elder) Dragon achievement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As stated previously in this thread, you must use the Special Action key at the end of the event, and the Special Action must complete for credit. Not looking to extend this thread, but - hving just run up against this - I'd just like to put a vaguely professional perspective on it. I spent 20 years testing software for IBM, and I would most definitely have raised that as a bug if it had passed through my hands, because that's how our customers would have viewed it. It's not merely poor design (although it's definitely that as well; the two are not mutually exclusive); the achievement tells you what you have to do ("defeat Primordus and Jormag"), and that sets an expectation. Players have a right to expect that they'll get credit towards the achievement if they get credit for the event. What they actually have to do, apparently, is way more restricted, entirely non-obvious, and often near-impossible to manage. But that's GW2 for you. You could fix it by changing the code, or by changing the description - but until then, it's a bug, however you spin it.

Tesslabon.6910 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 (edited) This has to be done in Story Mode. Doing Double Dragon Achievement in raid does not count. Speak to Brek, the chopper NPC in Eye of the North. He will offer you the raid or the story mode. (Do not take the storymode purple star, but only what is offered by clicking directly on the npc.) I was also able to do the achievements Skritt Hot and Cooler than Cool. After the initial phase where they are fighting each other, engage both Braham and Ryland with a hit or two so that the NPC's helping you start fighting them, then take your time as you work on those achievements. I got it in two visits doing story mode and then finished off Double Dragon as well. Good Luck and Happy Adventures!

Tesslabon.6910 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 (edited) I was able to do the Skritt Hot and Cooler than Cool achievements in the public version, but was not able to get the objective number to move past 1/5 for the Double Dragon Achievement, even though I have been running Dragonstorm raid for the past 2 days. It occurred to me that the one I got was when I had finished the Dragonstorm chapter of storymode the first time through, so I decided to hop in again and give it a try. Sure enough, it started moving up and giving me credit. I am not sure why the raid version did not work for me. I made sure I hit all the objectives and special skill moves throughout, but to no avail. At least I am finally moving in the right direction. Happy Adventures!

Tesslabon.6910 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 I understand, Linken. Thank you for replying and trying to help. I did camp the blue crystal at the end and clicked it immediately, but the poof came before it completed. It seems to go fast with all the people in there and is easy to miss getting credit. By myself, In story mode, I was able to get the credit for completion each time. Breathing a sigh of relief that I am finally able to complete the achievement. Thanks again! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
