Golden Skins & Achievements

[x!thyl]

Did I understand correctly, that you earn the golden Gnöki through Daily runs?
So 1 per day? and you have to get 5 for each character? All tied to individual achievements?
If this is the case, that's a complete trash -.-
Played the game all thoughout Early access, completed most levels on higest difficulty maxed most of the Meta upgrade tree and now I have to get back every day for several months to just unlock some golden skins? If this was a thing from the beginning of early access then it would be kind of okay.
But now? Adding this only at 1.0 is bad. At least for me it's completely demotivating and makes me shelf the game for good....

Yeah I agree. Its not just that this has gone from an easy to 100% game to a nightmare, it feels like a reversal of the vibe the game had. Not even gonna try for some of those achievements.

Counter point...I already had 100+ badges, why aren't there more things to spend them on...TOTALLY NECESSARY RAGE!

Same sentiments it would be another massive grind just for the golden skins.

3 badges per skin would totally do it

I would even find 3 per character much. It would still be about a month each day. Every run ~30min only for skins....
Maybe something like 5 per skin and make a single achievement for "Unlock any gold skin"

I think it's ok. Other games have "win 365 unique daily challenges" as an achievement.

Yeah, another scam, was another game like this that had something similar, good achievements til the realease, then they add in pain achievements.... I gotta stop buying early access games...

[Krille D]

Just did some math, it's 5 golden gnöks for each skin, and it's 10 of them and you can only get one every day, that's 50 days, say each take 30 minutes to take, that's 25 hpurs of effective gameplay just to take the last few ones. If that's not gonna leave sour taste in your month after you're done i don't know what will. And how would that reflect on the reviews i wonder.

WTH are kids these days even buying games for?
They always expect to get a free ride while people that actually like and play the games would be happy to have something to actually "grind" for.
You should start to just not give us anything for free anymore bc it just ruins all the fun that we could have had.
And deliver a cheat code with every patch so these misled folks can just unlock everything right away.
Best of both worlds right there...

Love the game but I was glad 1.0 was coming out so I could finish up whatever new achievements were added uninstall and move on I've already spent a year off and on on this game and it's very demotivating to go from Okay, lets knock this out and move on and finally be done with it so I can mark it off my complete list to Hey, you have to do a daily every day for 50 days.

[SmokeYaSs]

Guess what its a videoGAME.
Its meant to be played.
If you want to collect a bunch of irrelevant steam achievements, and then uninstall anyhow, theres 3rd party tools that unlock them all with 1 click...

[LunarisRuin]

What a silly thing is get mad about.

I don't see any issue with those numbers, seems pretty reasonable.
Let's not be falsely melodramatic about having to play "EVERY" day for "SEVERAL" months, these will just unlock over time... Kind of funny because most of you seem to be incremental games enthusiasts as well.

Weak minds should steer clear of achievement hunting

Well I "only" got 56 Hours in the game, but I have unlocked most Meta upgrades and it's quite fun playing normal runs that way. But, daily challenges force you to play with only a limited number of upgrades, which feels weak, slow and tedious sometimes... And you have to do that about 50 times, for >30 min each... This is just not fun. IMO it's against the principle of the whole sub-genre where you get stronger with every run.

Now you can argue something like "Just don't get the achievements", but I completed the game after each EA Update and always had fun with the new challenges. And now I just want to be able to tag it as complete and finish it with a happy feeling. I have more than enough games that I don't want to spend 25+ additional hours only for some skins... Also I don't want the "cheat" any achievements. That's cheap....

It's just a pointless hobby in the end, don't let it become unhealthy.
You either put in the extra time for your own satisfaction or simply drop it if it's too much of a hassle and move on to something more enjoyable.

There are just too many factors beyond one's control that can deny completion. Better get used to it rather than letting yourself and your enjoyment be influenced negatively by a mere statistic.

Personally, I'm just grateful for the extra goals and how everything is achievable.

Seems like the developers have once again shown how accommodating they are by reducing the cost to 3 badges, yet some people are still going to complain somehow...
