'Slay Thy Neighbor' trophy?

[Lukha]

So I mostly play on PC these days, but I started on PS3 and (Having since ungraded to PS4,) I've been trying to collect the last few trophies I'm missing. For some reason I just can't get this one to trigger, though; I've played a round of Seal Rock and a round of 8v8 feast on PS4, but it never popped...

Does anyone know if earning this trophy requires you to do a specific type of PvP, and if so, which one? Or is it just not possible to earn anymore? Was it only set to be triggered by Wolves Den, and no longer obtainable since that mode has been removed from the game?

Wolves den still exists, it's just called "The Fold" now. Or at least I think so.

All of the trophies currently in existence for FFxiv were implemented at the same time when the game was crossed over to console platforms. As such, all of those trophies are only relevant to that content. That means that the "Slay Thy Neighbor" trophy is for Wolves Den (now "The Fold"), because it was the only PvP available at the time. Front Lines was not implemented until 2.3 (Defenders of Eorzea), so it doesn't count. At the time, the wording of the trophy was accurate; however, it really should have been adjusted after FL was introduced.

Regardless, All of the trophies relate to only the content that was available at the time (for example, you'll also notice that the only raiding trophies are for The Binding Coil of Bahamut, which includes only T1 through T5). None of the wordings or conditions of any of those trophies have been adjusted since they were implemented, nor have any new trophies been included for any of the new content, including expansion content ... which kind of sucks, since it gives additional incentives to do certain content.

Thanks for the answers; I'll try queuing up for just the two 'Fold' modes next time I'm on PS4 and see what happens.

Fair warning: the Fold is pretty dead ... Give it a shot, but if you have trouble getting in, you might try to form teams using Party Finder. People used to do it to finish their weekly PvP challenges back before Feast came out. I'm not sure how much success you'll have with it these days, but it's worth a shot.

For what its worth, I got my achievement for completing 1000 leves while doing leves from Ishgard. So the triggers are still there for some things. I also remember getting the achievement for fishing 1000 times while in the Sea of Clouds.

That's true, but sadly I'm pretty sure it only works like that for any non-specific content or content that was coded with a more inclusive definition. The leves achievement was not specific to area or leve type. It simply says, "1000 leves," of which there were already a great many to chose from even before HW was released. The leves in HW are really not any different from the ones in ARR. They work the same way and are likely all coded as "leves," so it makes sense that they would work. The PvP trophy, on the other hand, was implemented at a time when WD was literally the only PvP around. WD was also an instanced encounter, not an open world thing. So in their description, PvP is likely coded to be synonymous with "Wolves Den." Honestly, it seems like a bit of lazy coding on their part, and it really should have been adjusted after FL came out ...

Still, the biggest let down was not including new trophies when new patches and the expansion came out. I think getting trophies for savage alexander or extreme trials would have been a good way to get more console players into it.
