Happened plenty of times already. Either the requirements for the achievement itself or ingame were altered in several games already. Shadow of Mordor recently recieved a final update because the leaderboards going offline would have voided 3 cheevos which are now obtainable again without direct changes to the cheevos themselves.
Blitz with double skulls was an event a while ago, something like each kill/assist is worth 100
I knew I got something wrong… thanks for the correction.
Still stupid though lol.
Oooooh. Not to take this thread off-topic but that’s a great game, had a lot of fun on that.
It also says a lot about how TC have handled their achievements in their respective games compared to other studios.
I know its WBGames and the studio hasn’t released a game in nearly 4 years, and it’s a single player game, but they could have quite easily have just left it with fairly minimal negative press.
This isn’t true, Dirt 5 recently released a patch changing the requirements of driving 10,000 miles to 1000. This means these kill achievements can be given the same treatment.
I wish they had gone for complete 100 masters horde, complete 100 masters escape runs. Win xxx versus matches in non co-op ai matches.25k kills or eliminations would probably be enough.
Don’t listen to this guy. Some people who A) don’t care about achievements at all or B) have an infinite amount of time to unlock these horribly designed achievements will never be convinced that the requirements should be lowered.
Some who fall under B are concerned with being in an “elite” few to unlock such terrible achievements. God forbid anyone asks for a reduction in a 200 hour pure grind(1000+ of hours just playing normal).
Stop asking for a handout. These achievements just aren’t for you BRO. (Insert Sarcastic font here)
Same for some random skating-game that thought 72k miles on a skateboard would be a smart idea. Someone did the math and it would have taken 700hours of idle-grinding before the devs fixed it.
100 Horde sounds about right, but Escape should be way higher.
I think if anything, it should be to master each horde and escape map. I don’t see the point of having to complete 100 master horde games. If you can do it once, you can do it 100 times. But at what point, does that just become overkill?
It would fit right in with these stupid Versus-achievements, albeit still far more reasonable.
I would still take a master every Horde/Hive-achievement. Don’t understand why TC is so afraid of them.
True, it would fit right in, but we don’t need more ridiculous achievements😂. TC is trending in the right direction with this.
Escape Master - Master every escape hive (50G)
Horde Master - Master every horde map (50G)
Versus Master - Get 25,000 eliminations in ranked versus matches (50G)
Wow that was hard. We should work for TC
That’s 10x worse than 100k and would be unobtainable at some point. Not to mention it’s already an endless wait in the EU to even get a ranked match going.
These will probably be a part of Seriously 5.0 Chapter 2. My buddies and I went and mastered every Escape hive as they were released just to be sure. Some of those hives are pretty brutal.
I don’t think 25K kills will be there. They already want us to get 100,000, that’s far more than we need. I do think they’ll add an achievement for getting every single Escape/Horde class to level 20.
I was just throwing a number out there. I still would prefer anything over 100k kills. Even if it was 100k eliminations that would be better.
This will be the first Gears game I don’t 100% on the achievements. Before the re-up lowering I was reup 19 so I figured I’d get one more grindy re-up out the way, get seriously and bail as I absolutely loathe plying pvp. I think it works fine etc, i’m not a whiny gnasher person, but playing pvp for 7 gears games now… I just can’t bring myself to remotely try for another four or so years to try and get these pvp achievements, especially when my last year of playing has counted towards them so little in comparison.
The re-up drop put me to re-up 35 so I’m now thinking to push to re-up 40 to get that achievement (see how that works TC- a reasonable target to reach keeps people playing more. Had reups not lowered I’d have stopped playing next week whereas now I’m committed for at least a few more months), but even if I do I won’t be anywhere near the achievements.
Without intentionally grinding/ setting up multiple xboxes etc, these achievements are not achievable, even for top tier players - they might (just might) get enough kills, but then they won’t have the pve achievements as they sunk their time into the others, These achievements simply demonstrate how out of touch TC are with it’s playerbase.
Gears 2 got their kill achievement right in logging ALL kills in one lump sum. I think that needs to happen here, or the requirements lowered to a much more achievable level.
Think of it this way too - you can use achievements to judge a players play time on a game - see they have seriously 1.0, you know they played a fair bit of Gears MP, look at Gears 5 and you get nothing in essence as the gap is so huge. They have anywhere between 1 and 999,999 kills lol.
Sea of thieves achievements were altered, killer instincts achievements were altered… I don’t think 360 ever changed theirs however
Did Killer Instinct ever change those “shadow” based achievements where a bot version of you had to beat a number of random human players?
That system no longer functioned at the time i started playing so it was impossible to obtain.
Gears achievements were always pretty unusual. But if you play the game like I it’s totally possible. I’m at 1860 Gs on Gears 5 now.just wait for seriously 5.0 chapzer 2 "Master every hord map on 50 and frenzy, master every escape map, reach level 20 with every character. I already have done this so far and I’m excited for more…
I also like hard achievements like 50 insane without spending any energy like in gears 4
So glad I could care less about Xbox (PC) achievements, and looking at the achievements for this game just solidifies that.
PS trophies that’s a whole other story somewhat of a ocd issue lol
Same for me and I’m playing Gears almost every day. Also did the math and even if you get a 100 Kills per day in VS every single day it would take you around 2.7 years to just complete the 100.000 kills. (not counting assists or damage) Assuming you do this 365 days a year…
now people will say a 100 Kills in VS a day isn’t even that much, but if you put that in relation of the time needed to get there and not everyone play Gears 24/7 all year, and also assuming you have other things to do like work, spending time on the family etc… It’s still a ridiculous amount of time…Even if you are going for 200 Kills every SINGLE day…
I remember an achievement from Unreal Tournament 3 ( where you had to get 200 Kills in Multiplayer on 50 different days (luckily not consecutive days) which adds up to 10.000 kills and was called:
"Get a life…"
Got 200 kills in multiplayer on 50 different days.
And even while still a bit grindy this way more achieveable (and fun) then the VS grind we got in Gears 5
