8/10! Getting so close! Had another instance of there being two thrashers to help things tip in my favor.

EDIT: NO WAY. 9/10 in the same day!

I'm still at big fat ZERO and really not feeling good about this one.

I can't work towards it. It just....never happens, no matter what I do. Why would the devs do this to us.

@Antaresia - I feel that. The only luck I have had is keeping my Snowloon/Thrasher duo and getting an instance every few days to every few weeks. I periodically battle throughout the day. I know if I was diligent enough I could probably get them more often, but life. . .

@Antaresia - I honestly completely agree that this achievement was perhaps not thought through. I've seen discussion from members about lowering the number of identical companions on the opposing team to one to have the achievement progress faster. Honestly, this achievement does become harder to achieve the more companions we have added to the game. I think that's what's been motivating me to try to progress as much as I can while the game is still young and the number of companions is so low, because the more we get, the harder it'll be to achieve.

And honestly, prior to this crazy 11 instance streak I suddenly find myself with, I didn't have ONE instance of ever getting two identical companions to show up. Then I suddenly got ten in almost a month just from keeping the same duo. I think that might ultimately what makes or breaks this achievement as is--picking one duo and sticking with it and hoping eventually they appear in the Gauntlet. I was running the math before, and with how abysmal the odds were I had literally estimated it would take me a lifetime to finish this ONE achievement, RNG willing.

This achievement really needed some more workshopping before they deployed it. That, or make different Gauntlet areas for people to fight in that have a set number of companions that can show up. Like, the more creatures we get, make unique Gauntlet venues or something that feature creatures of a certain theme or synergy or even divide them into batches based on release date or something. Then we can reduce the companion pool and allow people to progress through the achievement easier knowing that "oh, this Gauntlet venue only has 30 unique companions that can show up on the enemy team, so I can just pick two of those instead of having to pick from the entire catalogue."
