The problem I have is that 100 Hours played in multiplayer is just that; 100 hours. Every Horde card puts the player at the mercy of RNG to give them the cards they need or enough Legendaries to make it worth it. I play enough to earn it even if it’s added but I’m not all for achievements that include some form of randomness.
Besides, maxing out one class does show you spent time in Horde. The only thing an achievement like this would do is bring on more Speed Runs and it’s already difficult to find an actual Horde match. I don’t see the need to require every class to be maxed but that’s only my opinion.
100 hours in Versus shouldn’t really be a problem.
5 days x 24 hours = 120 hours.
But if someone spends 6 hours per day (not gonna go into too much detail in Maths), but it could take around 2 to 3 weeks to get that Achievement done.
I’ve been frustrated with the RNG randomness when I couldn’t get Magic Bullet, my last Epic Skill after three months and finally got it last week or so.
During all that time with buying Operations Packs, I was still getting Epics and Legendaries to turn into Scrap and level up my other Horde Skills, especially Epics.
This was still contributing towards levelling Horde Skills, while playing the randomness game at the same time to get the last Epic Skill.
I never really found it to be a problem with getting Epics or Legendaries to make into Scrap, it’s all pretty basic of what to expect.
Also, there’s no problems with Speed Runs.
It’s just players finding a quicker way of doing Horde Mode, just like players in other games finding a quicker way of beating a level in Crash Bandicoot N Sane Trilogy for example.
It’s not really going against the game rules, players were just playing smart to get it done faster.
People try to cheese through Achievements, Speed Runners want to cheese through Horde.
I go on Public Horde quite often, and still find whole games that last till the very end.
I’m not saying there’s an issue with Speed Runs. But I also don’t like to do them constantly and finding a non Speed Run in LFG can be difficult. I avoid public matchmaking because normally I get players that quit or those that all want to be the same class so it just doesn’t work.
But as I said it’s just my opinion. If they do it so be it but I’m not a fan of any achievements that are related to RNG packs in any way, shape or form. If a 2000 credit pack guaranteed a Legendary which I could scrap for 600 then sure. But if it’s not guaranteed and considering 1 Purple Horde card costs 600 scrap which you need like what, 45 cards (sorry, I forgot the numbers you need per level) you’re looking at 27,000 scrap if that number is correct. That would be 45 Legendary breakdowns per card which is ridiculous in my eyes.
But again, we all have different opinions. Mine is no more valid than yours and I respect yours 100%.
The other issue with these added grind achievements is that they are added so freaking late in the development cycle. The game is bordering on being completely dead for some regions and to toss in a new time based or 5K/ 6K versus kill achievement almost 2 years later is just sadistical (despite what TC claims).
As for the RandomNumberGambling crap, I have most of my classes maxed completely out in horde but I still have not unlocked the CLOAK card for the scout. Even though I’ll probably never use it, I’d like to have the option to complete the class.
No more campaign achievements. I’ve beaten this mediocre campaign enough to get 100% completion. No more; especially nothing more difficult this late in the game. I want something enjoyable to go for and what you’re asking for would be voted on by like 2 people total. The fact is 99.9% of players still playing aren’t doing nor do they want to play campaign again. It’s all about Horde and PvP as it should be. A campaign now a days is usually one and done for most players which is why you’re going to see many games move away from campaigns in the future. Gears will likely always have one but Inconceivable was a challenge in itself. I’d rather play something less repetitive than the same campaign over and over again.
I’ve done a Normal, Insane, Inconceivable and Hardcore Iron Man Run already. A fifth time isn’t even fun…
There better not be any more campaign achievements. I’ve played through this tragic campaign too many times already for the achievements. One play through is even too much if I’m being honest. If the campaign was actually good I wouldn’t be so bothered but when it’s terrible like this one enough is enough.
Are you honestly feeling ok? The game has been out for nearly 2 years and you want long term achievements… I really hope the voting is kept somewhat sensible at least so stupid suggestions like this have no chance of making it in.
Not quite as scathing about the campaign as yourself, but certainly the weakest after J main campaign (Aftermath IS a REAL Gears campaign) and like you I have no desire to play through it again. I am missing certain cheveo’s due to just not having the heart to reply yet again.
Why they did not add mutators or arcade mode is anyone’s guess. Hopefully we get these modes in 5.
Speaking of campaign, we need it to be a lot longer in duration and visit more of the lore. I do not want Horde “set ups” like in 4, as after and maybe even including the first one, feels so cheap.
I feel 3 campaign was the absolute best in terms of, well everything. I actually prefer Gears 2 story but 3 was epic in scale and the 4 player…oh to have 4 player back.
My responses were written in paranthesis in the quote box and as you can see I dislike every one of them. These achievements need to be balanced this late in the games life cycle and shouldn’t favor one mode over the other. Things need to be obtainable for everyone if they put the effort in but that effort shouldn’t be to play a mode for 25 days when they prefer a different mode. They had a great idea with “Do you even Lift” where it was a legitimate challenge but also didn’t force a player to spend a large amount of time doing a mode they dislike. Hell, a lot of your ideas are unobtainable for some players in certain regions. I wanted to go back and get Seriously on Gears UE but I can’t even find a single match which goes to prove online achievements are just stupid when it requires so much.
Agree with your points, was the op messing about I wonder ? anyway at this point in 4’s life, they should be fun or have a little imagination. We have “grinded” ( ground ?) forever and I say that as a almost daily playing wings 2+28 non speed runner or even that much of a Horde player.
I want some fun with the next round. Also just to say right here and now, the next game does not need 4000gp IF they are just to be massive grinds.
Maybe I was being a bit harsh there is one good part in the campaign haha. But yeah I don’t blame you for not going for the missing achievements it took every ounce of my strength to will myself through inconceivable solo and ironman co op this week.
Gears 2 and 3 had amazing campaigns I played them so many times just because I actually liked them. If the campaign was good I wouldn’t actually mind extra achievements for it.
@TheDeuterostome is a troll just trying to get achievement hunters pissed off. He’s posted some of this same nonsense in other threads. Literally no one wants these. Hopefully he moves on and stops posting stupid ideas.
