Are the achievements correct?

    I was just looking for the achievements I've gotten, sorted by rarity from least to most rare and according to Xbox live these are the results

    69,52% of the SoT players have gotten the achievement for eating a banana .. and that is the most common achievement there is
    66,13% got the achievement for getting the ship to move
    57,93% got the handbrake turn...
    50,31% has actually leveled up in any faction...
    47,89% has actually voted for voyage
    And so on.. either the statistics are not working.. or we have lots of people who dont want to leave the outpost they spawn in to :P

    Achievements straight up didn’t work for the games first few weeks out. I think that has something to do with it. Those players who played then and never can back wouldn’t have got any.

    @clarionz pretty much what @The-Lupino has said. Achievements are no measure as so many players gave up in those first two weeks or so.

    @clarionz correct in the sense that of the 5 million unique users (as of last officially released numbers) that percentage of them has completed the achievement.

    So 0.6% of all time players are PL. In terms of currently active players that percentage is likely to be much higher.

    A lot of people picked up the game at launch and then put it down immediately.

    Someone on here did a comparison a while back, looking at the percentage of players who got the achievement for leaving port versus the number that Rare stated for unique users to try and work out the actual number of current players a while back, I'm not a maths guy but it was an interesting read/conclusions.

    @the-lupino I remember that they were bugged after launch, tho after few days, most achievements were given retroactively. Or atleast people I played with received them.

    They said that was supposed to happen but I can confirm they did not for me. I had to do everything again after they started flowing to make them pop and some to this day will not pop not matter how many times I do it like knocking someone off a ship or throwing puke at someone in a fight. The fight like a merchant one randomly popped only recently even while I was not even fighting anyone so I can’t explain it other than peoples achievements can be bugged if you played back then. Even if they did flow thru correctly for everyone, if one never launched the game again after they were fixed there is no way they would have them.

    I recently just completed my 250 merchant quests and the achievement did not pop. I had to go and do another merchant mission a few days later and it popped after that one. Odd.
