    This achievement requires to capture 500 points in PvP matches of Domination or Gauntlgrym only (Icewind Dale DOES NOT COUNT). Remember that you have to be on the platform when the point is captured (you will see a white message "+300 captured point"). The points captured by your team without your contribution (i.e. without the white message) won't count for the achievement.
    It is retroactive, therefore if you played some games of PvP before, the captures you did will count (this statement implies that you can have your achievement popped directly after the update, if you are a PvP player).
    To check your progress (Xbox Live won't show it), you have to:
    1) open the "Journal"
    2) go in the section "Achievements"
    3) go down until you find "PvP" (PvP only, not the other types like "PvP Domination" etc.)
    4) press X until you see the "Available" achievement list
    5) scroll down until you find "Capture Vanguard"

    NOTE: Private PvP does not count for this achievement.

    FxH Finalpvp gameplay is rather different compared to pve. I suggest to start playing randomly joining pvp queue (Domination). As a dc, focus on surviving and capturing flags. I've never read people boosting on domination. I've seen boosting on Stronghold pvp only...

    TrueWickedoneI suggest a boosting session for this. Get 9-10 people for the session. Sometimes if too many randoms are queued for this, once the first full group queues, it locks them with a bunch of singles, and your 2 full groups dont get placed together. If that happens, you will need to have 1 group full with 5, and the second group only with 4 people. This will almost always pair your 2 groups together and throw a random in.
    Strategy for this is to have group A run to ring 1 and cap it, while Group B runs to ring 3 and caps it. Once group A has the cap, move to ring 2, then ring 3. Once group B has capped ring 3, run to ring 1, then 2 and so on. Always be moving and alternating caps. The games will last a decent amount of time and people should get a good amount of caps per game. If you have 1 random in the game, they will occasionally mess up a cap, but should easily be killed since the group of 5 will always be moving together.

    Shadow 00 Fox^^ How many capture points did you get in one game, and how long did the game last?

    TrueWickedoneI have not tried it yet, but speaking to someone who had last night said its quicker to simply rotate between 2 points back and forth, or simply pile everyone around one point for the capture. He said a single match takes about 40 minutes and they earned 70+ captures. I would expect to see roughly 300 captures in a 3 hour session that way. I should finish my wins chievo tonight, and then will probably post a session for these captures.

    Shadow 00 FoxAre these any easier with the PvP changes that have happened?

    FxH FinalFor sure, Icewind Dale cannot chosen anymore to unlock these achievements. Easier or not, always depends on you equipment. With high item level, everything is smoother ;)

    Shadow 00 FoxSo, are they easier or not because of the PvP changes that have happened?
    Posted by Shadow 00 Fox on 05 Dec 19 at 18:53
    FxH FinalEasier or not, is hard to define. First of all it's up to. That means, if you are high in IL (25k+), it'll be smoother. Then, it depends on your class and on the people which are actually playing PvP. I highly recommend Solo Queue to avoid premade parties.
    I personally tested the new PvP system as soon as it was released. During those days, most of the players were testing it, so it was harder to find veterans. Now, who knows. I think that basically it's like before.
    The most impactful changes are the ones related to the classes, the level 80 and the abilities.

    Shadow 00 Foxtoast Bummer, I was hoping there was some faster method now...

    regretNot retroactive for me. Loaded this game up after 3 years and I got the 50wins to pop but my journal shows me at 3k PvP kills, 157 wins, and 0 capture points, which is blatantly wrong. All I did was play domination and the game is saying I never capped a point, ever.
