This is so true,
I am an achievement completionist and I avoid many games because of that.
As a gearhead I take the grind for this franchise, but sometimes hate myself doing it.
When doing campaign for example I do not enjoy it as much as I should, because I am mainly working on getting collectibles and stuff.
It is what it is.
I’m glad someone brought this up. I’m doing this with a dedicated group of 4 other guys and it’s soul crushing. You have to play with the same 4 people for like 100 hours at the same time, and that’s IF you’re just boosting it by playing Guardian Vs AI on Beginner. If you try to do anything other than that, with maybe the exception of Dodgeball, you’re looking at double that amount of time. The XP requirements are absolutely preposterous. It’s not fun. Nobody at TC thought this achievement out at all. You know it’s a horrific achievement when more people have Seriously 5.0 than BFF!
If it was just one person you had to get to level 5, i could see people viewing that as more realistic.
Then if the second achievement was just for playing with four level 1 allies, to me that makes more sense.
However, in general the xp to rank up needs assessing. I have played with the same friend for many, many days and we are only just level 3.
Does your world end if you cant get one achievement meant towards squad play?
Its not about someones ‘world ending’. whether you care about achievements or not doesn’t really matter.
There is a community who do enjoy having achievements being part of their gaming experience. However, personally i don’t think this achievement is working the way that it was intended at creation. As somebody else has pointed out, if more people have seriously than BFFs, something is wrong.
TC said its meant to be something earned over the course of years. People shouldnt have it yet. The game only came out 4 months ago.
People who don’t care about achievements should get the hell out of this thread.
No custom dont count only pubic .
Not sure about you guys/girls but i have small friends list about 75 or so, i don’t add ppl just for the sake of adding them
Not many ppl i have on my list would even think of doing this, most aint interested in achvs any way.
You need 26125 ally points for 1 ally which is way to much, also YOU still need to win to get the points…
Almost as bad as seriously 3.0 but at least u could play privte for them
On true achvs my friend and i were 41st and 42nd to unlock this.
Its for the 100% achvs, they no ppl will still do it which means more ppl still playing although everyone doing this will have dummys playing vs bots instead actually playing ranked gms as in gears 1 seriously 10k kills. 
I just thought it was funny, whining about an achievement actually taking effort.
It’s not effort, it’s a time consuming chore
My wife and I play together quite a bit. The 10% bonus is nice.
Agree 100% it’s like 800-900 matches with the same people, and if someone bails, you’re screwed.
I’ve done over 2500 waves of horde with one friend, still at level 3. And 10 measley gp for reaching lv5 with one ally seems somewhat underwhelming when you look at it that way.
Same here … It is what it is
I play regularly since day one with my kid…
All modes of game are played.
Same thing : level 3 with 6% xp !
It’s a long road… a stupid joke… again.
TC like disappointement and frustration in general.
They are expert of it.
Bump
Update:
Still talking about it.
Horde is the worst for getting allied honor…
50 waves nets you 150 honour in 2-3 hours,
while Coop vs AI will net you 150 honor in 15 minutes,…
