WBPlay servers finally offline?

[JetLagFox]

I just needed 500 hundred scrap to get the last challenge to unlock the last achievement.

So, are they officially offline?

You tell us. You are the one with the installed game. Leave the game off for some time, boot it up again and see if the scrap still collects itself. :)

Don't think will work. If they haven't changed the challenge requirements, there is no way to get it without the servers being online.

WBPlay servers are offline and you cannot get the achievement associated to game challenges anymore. I have just written to WBGameSupport on Twitter because they said it was not going to affect to game achievements.

Whoever said it wouldn't effect achievements obviously never played the game.

It also makes one of the upgrades in every stronghold completely useless, not that it's hard to get scrap, but it was still nice to log in after a break and get a bit more free.

They should have changed the game to check your computers clock instead of needing the server to verify the time; I mean, it's a single player game so who even cares whether that makes it easier to cheat?

It was stupid to need a server for that feature anyway, it's only purpose was to act as cheat protection but anyone who was going to cheat or mod would have better things to change to get bigger advantages anyway.

Yea, WB has a history of this in several games.

Well, I guess they thought they would change challenge objectives or remove it from the achievement. But I can confirm that there is no way to get it right now.

I don't even undertand why they have being paying servers for this. It makes no sense.

Yesterday I was thinking about purchasing Shadow of Mordor because they announced WBPlay was being removed on december, but I think I will save my money.

Technically there is still a way to get it, but it requires actual cheating (with another program) and not just changing your computers clock (which is what the server protected against, if the game checked your local time instead of server time you could have lied to the game about how long you were offline for free scrap)

It's a server, if it's down it's offline for everyone

They said this wasn't affecting achievements obtainability.

And? They were wrong.

With WBPlay servers removed you can no longer obtain scrap while offline.

Two of the in-game challenges are to collect scrap while offline. (A penny saved and Dividend)(neither is a repeating challenge)

One of the achievements is to have completed all in-game (non-repeating) challenges.

Since you can't collect scrap while offline without the server, you can't complete all the in game challenges and you can no longer complete the achievement: "Up to the Task"

They could solve this several ways, two easy ones:

1. Make the game not require the server to collect scrap while offline (just check local clock)

2. Remove those challenges from the game (and from the requirement for "Up to the Task" so that it could be completed by doing all the other challenges)

I´m just saying what they published. Nothing else.
