Achievements

  • I'd just like to discuss a few achievements.

    Firstly 'Capture the Swag' I handed in a chest within 5 minutes in the arena yesterday... no achievement.

    Secondly 'Hot Tub Time Machine'. Stupid achievement and needs removing, been trying since day 1 of arena to get people in the hot tub. Never works. My achievements shouldn't be affected by what other players do.

    "Legends - The Greatest Race of all time" This achievement is bogus, I have raced with ships side by side with no animosity so many times and it's never popped. Needs fixing or removing.

    'Legendary Hunter of the Sea of Thieves' you serious with this one Rare? Been playing the game since the very beginning, fishing and plundering shipwrecks in every single game. I'm on 5%...

    Does anybody have any of the above achievements?

    I've got the first 3, though I will admit that #1 might be broken now that they've changed the chests in Arena.

    There are a few achievements that rely on other players and they are all equally annoying. All of the Thrones event ones now fall into this category because good luck finding anyone in a server who will 1) know what you are talking about, and 2) be willing to waste up to an hours worth of their time to sail all over and sit in chairs with you. If you can actually get other players to do them, they're pretty easy.

    The ones that take a long time (like Legendary Hunter of the Sea of Thieves) I don't have a problem with because they are intended to be long term goals.

  • @scrubber89 I got Capture the Swag three days ago so it's either delayed in popping for you or perhaps you just didn't quite make it in time.
    I have Hot Tub Crime machine, but yes, it sucks that it comes down to being lucky that other crews happen to go in there at the same time as you!
    I have The Greatest Race of All Time (18/05/2018) so it worked at some point, but maybe is bugged now?
    I'm also on 5% of the Legendary Hunter of the Sea of Thieves. Honestly I can happily ignore that and just hand in whatever fish I happen to find in barrels. Perhaps one day it'll pop (I doubt it).
