    So.......let me get this straight, I need to travel half way across the world to have a drink with you guys for an achievement in game?

    ....................................

    First of all, what if I didnt consume alcoholic beverages.
    Second, this makes it seem like you guys found a way to get free drinks.
    Third, this is utter BULLSHIT.


    I cant complete my game because you guys felt is necessary to try and squeeze some free drinks out of people? I contacted Valve to see what they think about this. If all else fails I will be getting this game removed from my Steam account.

    I complete all my games, I will no longer support you guys, and many other Steam users are taking the same action as I am.

    Remove this achievement or lose fans.

    12 Steam user I know alone have put in a ticket for a refund due to this crap.

    So what say you devs?

    P.S. Ohh and how the hell is it an IN GAME ACHIEVEMENT to do something irl? Keep the damn game within the game.

    seriously man, if it bothers you that much that there's an achievement you can't get, then consider getting everything but that achievement to be 100%
    I don't see why not
    like, it actually baffles me why you care this much.

    You are aware you could view the list of achievements prior to your game purchase, correct?

    One guy I knew in Rift was incredibly angry when a patch added hundreds of extra collectables, because he had spent so much time and effort trying to collect them all, that the addition of more of them had made his goal of having a perfect collection to be nearly impossible. No one told him that he had to have a perfect collection, and there really wasn't much of a benefit of having it in game terms (other than a few relatively worthless bonus potions, maybe a vanity item now and again or a pet). But he raged about it and there was nothing that I (or even his poor wife, who also played) could say to get him to calm down about it. The addition of new collectables did not affect the existence of the old collectables, since the new ones pretty much were only in new zones. But that didn't stop him from cursing out Trion because of it.

    It's not normal, and it isn't common, and its something that you ought to work on. There's nothing wrong with seeking out perfection, but being angry at a game (particularly a rogue-like) because you cannot achieve perfection with one small aspect of it, is not normal, and the moment you realize this, and start working on the real problem, the better off it will be for you and those around you.

    I know someone with OCD and that's really how it is with him. I'm not saying that Nekrage has OCD, but people who do, really do suffer because they can't abide certain things, whether it's a speck of dirt seen from across the room, or a picture that may not be perfectly aligned with another picture or books in uneven stacks. My friend knows he has a problem and he knows intellectually, that it's not normal to require perfection in everything, but that doesn't stop it from causing him stress and anxiety.

    i don't understand

    it took me 650 hours to unlock every achievement except that last one

    why would you play a game that much and then get mad about one achievement

    did you have fun at all? you know, since it's a game????

    i mean after 800 hours and a ton of fun the idea of one day hanging out with the devs and earning that last achievement seems pretty nifty idk about you

    Really boils down to the principal of the fact that these devs think this kind of SHIT is ok.

    Dont have OCD dont worry.

    It's a joke achievement. I mean yes, a few people have gotten it but when we added it in game we never thought people would want to get every single achievement hard enough that it would be an issue.

    And yes, that is a kind of recurring joke, with the free drinks. I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem if you drank something non-alcoholic, though!

    Hey, by the way, if your issue is 100%ing the game, are you absolutely sure that, as a hidden achievement, it counts against the completion percentage of the game?

    Maybe you should check.

    Is this a troll post? Lets stop feeding the trolls, guys. I'm pretty sure its a troll post. There's no way a post this blatantly trolly / stupid couldn't be a troll post. Surely the person who wrote this post is living under a bridge. Just sayin', the troll is strong in this one.

    Nekrage:
    It seems important to you to have this achievement so please cheat the achievement into your game. It's not unlike modding -- you can choose the terms of your enjoyment, and if that's having the achievement, then I see no reason why you shouldn't give it to yourself. I'm sure you can find out how to do it online somewhere.

    Also: The tone of your responses with the cussing and instant outrage is not appreciated and does not make you friends or encourage anyone to listen to your arguments. If you cannot be polite and respectful, don't post on this site. I'll let you cool down for a week.

    Closing the thread.
