10,000 Rebirth In-Game Achievement

[Maltose]

I saw that there was a 10,000 rebirth in-game achievement, and I'm wondering if there's a reasonable way of getting it short of playing for 10 years straight (doing nothing but 20 3-min runs a day would require almost 1.5 years to hit the 10k rebirth mark) or scripting.

[Fel]

I'm pretty sure it's meant to be one of those "maybe you'll reach that by playing, if not just forget it exists".
I mean, I am currently at the last titan and I have been playing nearly since the launch of the game on kongregate and I only have 2,296 rebirths, which means roughly 3.1 rebirth per day on average (mostly from early game and challenges since I am doing 24h rebirths since I unlocked beards).
It means that I didn't even reach the 3,000 rebirths achievements.

If you absolutely wanted them, scripting 2 minutes rebirths (you can lower the minimum from 3 to 2 in wishes) would probably be the way to go but you would sacrifice all forms of progress for a very long time just to get a small bonus to AP, doesn't seem worth it.

1 year later and I asked myself the same question (I just started playing).

Rebirthing every 3 minutes would take 500 hours (~3 whole weeks), of nonstop rebirthing. Even if, like Fel said, you can lower it to 2 minutes, that would still take 333 hours (~2 whole weeks) of nonstop rebirthing. I don't have a script for that. But even if I had a script for that, that doesn't seem worth it at all...

And on the long run... rebirthing ~10 times a day would take ~1000 days (~ 3 years). Damn.

Luckily it's only an Ingame Achievement and not an Steam Achievement ^^

Don't give the developer any ideas!

...lord knows how much longer I kept playing clicker heroes just for that stupid leeroy jenkins achievement.

Though the 10k rebirths might not be that bad if you only focused on them after you pretty much finished the game and did a few a day. You'll have a few thousand under your belt once you get through sadistic.

LOL... I found Leeroy Jenkins 10 days after I started playing. So, 7 months before I completed the game ^^
You must have terrible luck.
Or I was just that lucky...

I would think the developer must have thought already about it when he designed the Ingame Achievements and Steam Achievements in the first place.
I think the Steam Achievements are a good choice as they are now. He wouldn't get anything from it to add THAT one to the Steam Achievements, besides the hate of irritated Achievement Hunters.
And maybe cause for some Achievement Hunters to never pick the game up for fear of never getting 100%.

Unless of course there are some fixes/balancing updates to make it possible. (I don't consider running a script for 14 days nonstop "possible" per se).
Updates like: Eliminating the 120-180 seconds waiting time completely... or making it possible to getting it down even further to only 30-60 seconds in combination with some automation upgrades.

But with the new game NGU Industries coming up it might be better to concentrate on things with more importance ^^

Well, steam achievements have "reach the hard cap of resource 3's cap", which is virtually impossible without cheating even in the end game.

Uhhh, I am not far enough in the game yet to judge that...
But I would rather try to reach the cap than rebirthing 500 hours nonstop ^^

By the way, *very* early on in the game's lifespan (back when this was only on Kongregate and only the first 2, *maybe* 3 titans were implemented) it was possible to rebirth without having to wait 2 minutes first.

4G removed this as, at the time, the *only* benefit to rebirthing that quickly was to get this 10k rebirths achievement. Doing under-2-minute runs was a /massive/ noob trap, and recovering required doing two rebirths back-to-back where it was basically impossible to make any progress just to get both Rebirth Time Factor bonuses to useful levels again.

It was also around this time that he prevented you from buying more than 50 Energy or Magic Speed, so I'm permanently stuck at 515 Energy Speed and 50 Magic Speed instead of the 42069 in both that I was aiming for before that update. :(

beating the 300th enemy on sadistic will auto give you 10k rebirths

I'm not at 1200 rebirths yet, and I'm at the end of Evil after almost 700 days
