"Ali Baba" Achievement feedback

[IntrepidSkin]

I perfected every stage on hard/veteran in your games on steam and also 100% them. I was just done with frontiers and the "Ali Baba" achievement is such a boring & unfun grind. It feels almost like a dealbreaker for me - It might be a dealbreaker for some.

This achievement made me grind for hours after I allready had every other achievement. Grinding with around 9 Assassin's Guild towers on a stage with decent meele mob spawns. Add to that that the Assassin's Guild tower just sucks and it's not very viable imo. Maybe if you get more coins it would be.

I think you might wanna cut one or two zeroes for the achievement requirement to make it more in line with your other achievements or give the Assassin's Guild tower a buff. 10k gold is way too time consuming to get at this point.

I'm sorry dude but honestly, I'm kinda scared that some bit of pixels and data made you play to the point that it almost ruined the game for you.

Really, in the future you need to not get so obsessive over achievements.

[IntrepidSkin]

This is valid criticism on my part. You are not being constructive.
I'm trying to make the game better for all of us by giving feedback.

So what do you think about this matter that I'm talking about ? Did you enjoy getting that achievement ?

My tip for Ali Baba achievement, concentrate 3 assassin towers with the healer hero and don't push their damage to much.

The Highlander achievement is the only boring achievement I can see, because it's poor luck with a 7% probability. It was my last achievment.

Yeah, those achievements where RNG is involved are the worst. Especially when you need to grind them after completing the game. Ali Baba should be 1000 gold and all counting achievements should have counter. Highlander is plain dumb with all that RNG involved.

I'm done with 72/72 in about 18 hours.

You don't have to win the level, just farm with 9 or more towers till you die. I've done most maps with only assassins.

[Honorable_D]

I think 5000 gold would be a better choice - 1000 gold can be easily gotten in 2-3 levels.

But yeah, I do agree that 10000 gold and then the Templar rez cheevos are annoying.

What level would you guys recommend for this achievement? I´m farming it on the first cave stage on iron challenge, building my assassins in the middle and around the end of the way with Dierdre... Any better tips?

EDIT: I just got it, took me only the first round, but I still agree with Rust, it would be nice if the gold needed would be lower. This achievement took me over 20 resets of the underpass, which was really boring and unfunny at some point.

[Cdr.Keen]

I did a rotation of level 6, level 7, level 12 and 14 on campaign mode. With up to 9 or 12 assassin towers, it's not that much.

When everyone is in combat, with 9 towers you'll able to steal up to 27 coins at time. It's just making "blingbling" all the time

I know that the achievement is one of the harder ones to get, but Assassin's being weak? What? If that's the case, what's your opinion on Templars?

[IntrepidSkin]

You're better off investing in more dps and let your barracks be at lv 1-3 as distraction if you really need them imo.

Why would you upgrade barracks when upgraded artillery destroys everything?

Diversity? I guess? xD Hard to deny how good Artillery is.

[Doomerang]

Why grind it when you will eventually get it in the upcoming dlc levels?

[Luquash]

How can you know that we WILL get them in the upcoming levels? What if we won´t even upgrade to assassins? Or leave barracks as always on level 1 and let the "real" towers do the job? :D
