I’m thinking whoever named that achievement/trophy is now kinda regretting that decision 😆

If they had just called it “100 carat gold” or something innocuous then some of this backlash may have been lessened.

Much like some recent decisions though, 20/20 hindsight…

Nah…they identified a completionist “geoff” guy and released the achievement. It s not his fault …it’s the devs.

Finally got the deed achievement and for the first time since the game came out, deleted it off of my XBox. Lvl 7 VIP hitting the showers. I know I’m just one person, but hopefully this whole thing brings awareness that achievement hunters are customers too. You wouldn’t believe how people in that community won’t even PLAY a game if it has even one glitched achievement, let alone a single one that takes over 100 hours on it’s own.

Now that the dust has settled I actually don’t mind this achievement as much as my first impression. I am enjoying the aspect of upgrading my troops further, and nice to have a long term goal to get the achievement. Yes, like others I like to have new achievements on this game the day they are released or ASAP (I’m over 6000 hours into this game, so have been around for a while).

The problem imo relates to how monotonous (and essentially boring) explore mode is. It is effectively repeating the same tactic with the same team over, and over, and over. Sure I could change my attacking team, but once you have found the quickest and most effective it seams pointless to do so. At least when previously farming PVP I could change to any of 20 plus teams just for a change, without much difference to my teams efficiency.

Add to the fact that pet gnomes still can’t be caught in explore, which are essential as they are a gated progress to kingdom star level, makes grinding explore mode for this achievement seem all the more unattractive.
