Are achievements and trading cards coming to DRG?

[PaidActor]

Just wondering as I'd like a DRG badge for my profile.

Trading cards are already a thing for DRG my man! I'm not entirely sure about achievements. We got Milestones in game however.

Hey there, we are working on it.

The reason for we have been holding back is that we also have the game on Xbox, which have the gamescore system. Which means that we cannot change achievements there, after they are posted to the system.
But we might in a near future add achievements for the steam version! :) But can't promise when! but we are aware of that many players want them :)

Oh thanks for the reply, I never occurred to me the problems that might arise with the Xbox port.

Was about to buy the Xbox version too btw

Oof, didn't realize consoles made you finalize stuff like that, even in EA. What a weird roadblock.

A more apt quote might be "Consoles are cancer." But it's neat to learn about the behind-the-scenes details like this.

Well that's a given, but there is an unfortunate amount of apprehension on going back on bad decisions everywhere.

I mean, players earned their gamerscore, they might complain if we take any of it away, but if we don't other players will complain that they can't get the sore the first players have, what a bind!

It's not like people could just get over it, because that gamerscore has no actual value aside from what people give it, oh no, it's important because my number is bigger then your number, but his number is bigger, so I have to purchase some more Microsoft ™ Xbox ® brand games to earn more gamerscore © so I can win the duck measuring contest!

(Totally meant to write duck, absolutely, duck measuring contest, yeah.)

It's not about having fun, it's showing everyone else that the devs said you did!

And the duck measuring, NEVER forget the duck measuring.

Please don't make grind achievements ! Just smart and fun ones

Can't they just copy paste the XBox achieves over?
Or add new ones to the XBox version if Steam gets some they don't have over there.

Don't tell me Micro$oft doesn't allow developers to add more achievements to the game..?

The console ones are probably going to just be "kill 1,000 glyphids/mine 1,000 nitra" because that's what those dirty pleb scrabblers expect out of their cancer machines, I'd rather have a bit more creativity honestly.

I mean yeah those kinds of achievements are sh*t but I was more wondering about the reasoning behind "we can't just take away console achievements" as an argument against adding them to Steam.

Achievement quality has no impact on that.

I'm guessing balancing and stuff, and not being able to send updated cheevos for new enemy types, as an example.

They probably charge money for updating them just like updating the game too
