New Arcade Achievements.... Seriously?

[Mr4]

This game has so many frustrating achievements to unlock (a lot of RNG ones, which is the worst), and these new Planetary Piano achievements are TERRIBLE!

Doing the 4 second spring in 8 seconds requires perfection... Literally. And I'm sure the 8 stroke key one does too, because I've only ever gotten as far as about 32 before time runs out.

Just a frustrated rant. I seriously hate how perfect-necessary these new ones are.

Have you tried the new Piano Key ones? It's crazy how literal perfection is needed to unlock it.
I may not ever get -all- of the achievements, but I'd like to feel like if I grind at something long enough I'd be able to get the achievement.
It doesn't feel that way with the Piano Keys, at ALL.

I disagree here. I could understand if you were complaining about achievements requiring "useless grinding" like playing for 7 days total, jumping 200000 times and the RNG ones, but not for those asking skill. I'd even argue that achievements should ask players to master/perfect a game otherwise what's the point ?

The 4 piano key button is pretty difficult though. i haven't even see a demo video completing it on the time stamp, i think the closest one i have seen was on 3-5.
timer is on 14 -- have to do it within 8 seconds. Which means you have to complete it before the 6 seconds mark hits with no mistakes at all. Which requires some insane finger speed and practice. It may be easier if you are able to choose a soundtrack and keep practicing on the same song.

Why are we complaining about the achievements still? I can assure you many of them were bugged. This isn't a AAA game, which means the game is going to have a myriad of bugs, since these people are nowhere near as talented/professional as AAA developers. This game is going to be in development for a very long time too since theres only so much they can do every day. They can't do day one patches as smoothly as the big companies can, so they are going to make many hotfixes and patches throughout the months.
Sorry if the achievements seem too hard, but many achievements that many games have are meant to be brutally difficult to complete.

In fact that's what makes Tower Unite so addictive. If you're an achievement hunter you're gonna have fun with this game.

I wholeheartedly agree with this statement. If achievements aren't your thing, oh well, be my guest.

I agree with you, i think they just created this achievement without thinking about it, because 8 seconds is nearly impossible without being able to train over and over on a single song and note pattern. I agree that achievements must be hard but within human limits... Not even the bots on the demo managed to beat it. It probably can be done if you memorize every single song and pattern in the game but it requires a person to quit their job and play the game for a month in a row, and since the only ones that can afford to do that are famous streamers i think that they made the achievement specifically for them. We will see if in a future update they will change it, but i doubt it lol.

Yeah exactly my point. at least give us the option to practice on a song in order to get that achievement or change the achievement to "Complete all 64 notes without missing one within the time limit" Same will apply to the 8x 64. AT least that is do-able and still pretty hard on the same time.

yeah let's hope there will be a small change in there.

With how many people were playing on the phase 2 update, I only saw 2 people that managed to get that time once. I was able to do the 8 key achievement after quite a few attempts but the fastest I've ever gone on the 4 key was about 9.8 seconds, and that was an amazing attempt for me and every other attempt was about 12-11 seconds. Even if they bumped it up to 10 seconds that would be difficult but attainable. As it is right now only a handful of people will be able to get that achievement.

So far I've only had one friend of mine get this achievement legit on the first try. When they did we had to just accept they were a god at Piano keys. He got it multiple times in fact. The rest of us just gave up at some point. It wasn't worth the effort and practice. Only one of us still is trying to get it legit and honestly, wish him luck.

[bugc TRUMP2028]

I gave up actually attempting to 100% the game when I reached the Arcade Stacker achieve. Quite impossible

The whole achievement idea was alright until the arcade showed up. And it's not just the achievements, if you're trying to go for exp, milestones or the prizes, it's not gonna be any easier.

eh, I get a lot of the points here. as someone who did the new planetary piano achievements (the only one I'm lacking is the 8 keys) i might be a bit biased, but i'm leaning more towards the side of the people who agree that the achievements that require skill are not really problematic. part of the reason I keep coming back to this game is because of achievements. the first phase of arcade achievements almost made me quit because of how difficult they were, but I got them all - and now I'm back for the next round. it can be super frustrating when it feels like there's an achievement or something in a game that you'll never accomplish, but I don't think you should give up.

the biggest thing with the 4 key sprint was the start time - if you hesitate at all on start time, your run is over. this included a lot of guesswork. i always started with the first key and if it was wrong, i started over. the rest is just reliant on finger speed and what song you get tbh, since some charts are easier than others to do quickly. anyways, idk, I felt very accomplished once I got it. so like I said - I understand the frustration, but don't give up. it is completely obtainable.

Achievements are STILL broken?
I've gotten 4 or 5 winning bets on Pink in Whose Hue? and no achievement
Also not getting updates on the Gold Coins for the coin shooter..
The hotfix did let me get the Dragon Gem achievements, at least...
