[mod edited] To Lower The Unrealistic Commendation Achievement requirements

o.O wow ... ... just wow ... Can't say that I agree with you here. Lowering standards to appease those that don't want to put in the effort ... no ... don't think that's the path I'd recommend. For the game or society in general.

I agree with the poster on this one. I like to complete every aspect of the game no matter how difficult the challenge is, but this annoyingly unrealistic. I've played nearly 40 hours with friends doing the quests and have only found 1 cannonball chest 0 banana crates and only a handful of the other items need for these fetch quests. I'm not against lowering them fully, but increasing the spawnrate while decreasing the value of said items I feel would be the best way to make both sides happy. To respond to Ghost 0f Dawn's Seriously argument. No one complained because 10k kills on the first one only took 120 hours, 100k kills on the second game took 30 hours, and you could AFK nearly all of the third games most grindy challenges. Going back to where I said I only found 1 cannonball box in 40 hrs with my luck that could take me 40,000 hours or you know a little more than 5 years of straight playing time.

@ghost-0f-dawn Funny thing is they changed Seriously 4.0. They changed the ribbon part of it.

Upvote to Rare to give me a million gold just because I want it. The game needs dedication, Rare consider some achievements to be awarded with years playing the game not a month. That's normal dude

Ok, so I consider myself a 'Completionist' when it comes to video games...I like to obtain all of the games achievements. I love aiming for more challenging achievements as I find them much more rewarding HOWEVER, I do kind of agree that these are in actual fact incredibly unrealistic with the games current state. I'm not suggesting they necessarily reduce the requirements significantly, but increase the chances to allow some of these quests to be obtained or even allow us to purchase them would be an even better start. They ARE unrealistic and would require 1000's upon 1000's of hours right now.

@ghost-0f-dawn how many locust we had to kill? 1 Million? 2 Million. The moment i saw this i was like „ok no completion for me“.

The criteria for the commendation achievements are ridiculous and should be lowered to a 100 chests/crates etc. It still would be grindy, but at least it would be completable. Considering how monotonous it would be to actually do this after several thousand hours, I hope Rare will listen and lower it some.
I remember when Killer Instinct came out and there were achievements requiring you to play 2000 matches (which is crazy) with every character, but after a while they lowered it to 200.

@ghost-0f-dawn Never said this. Why are you bringing hate negativity in a post meant to help everyone? No one is complaining about the game, and youre missing the fact on how ridiculous the achievements are. Not hard to get. Just a big waste of time considering how long it takes to get a few skulls, chests, etc.

@drakebg757 I personally never said that. But also achievements isnt content within the game. Im happy with the game and how it plays. Not happy about the achievements which has nothing to do with game content.

@lord-of-goats Cannonballs, banana crates seem to be random. Some are more common than others but still an inhuman amount of requirements for such a small sandbox game. Unless they add updates to increase drops rates or such would be cool.

@illdwarf8612070 New Title in game, and progress towards some achievements within the game.

My heart goes out to you poor achievement hunters.

@solemagician506 Dont even have to be a achievement hunter to spot how ridiculous the requirements are. And its not just Rare or SOT, it seems to becoming a trend in the gaming industry to have very annoying grindy achievements.

@butch3r87 I forgot about Killer instinct! Yeah they did change it. I can name other games also but their is no point to. But honestly 100 or 200 maybe even 300 would be a whole lot tolerable.

It just needs tiers. 250/500/1000 maybe?

@zay7sev Smh I think you dont realize it has nothing to do with making it easier. Its about how grindy and time worthy it is. And you cant sit there and tell me it isnt ridiculous. Cause if you played the game and seen how long it takes to get a few items than no one should disagree. And it doesnt affect gameplay at all to lower them.

@rickydown so...don't grind for them?

@solemagician506 Youre right thats an option. But if I love the game and have dedication to it than I wanna go for it. Lowered or not. Still would be nice to many if they were lowered. Even if u dont care about achievements.

Those are called long term goals. Play the game for a year and see how many chests you find?

That said, I've found a single bananna chest and i didn't know others even existed lol.

@zay7sev Again doesnt affect gameplay at all. Doesnt make it Legendary status at all. Cause im pretty sure people will reach Legendary before any of the achievements even unlock.

@solemagician506 Yes long term goals, but I like to play other games also. And as much as I love SOT I dont see this game lasting a year unless they keep updating with new content. But I have my hopes up.

@elite-assasin87 Yeah I like the grind on games, but the amount for them are crazy. It still doesnt hurt anyone or the game to lower the requirements. Game has fantastic achievements and very original descriptions and such, but than have these commendations ones tied to it.
