Playfire Rewards Discussion Thread

Hmm, I have Rush Bros I think, and I wouldn't mind an extra fiver. Might give this a crack.

Edit: Achievements look to be mostly of the "complete x under a certain time limit", will see what I can do anyway.

Yeah, they look like they suck. Will still try it out.

i don't get how this works..i'm on the page were all the achievments and he rewards are listed,but my balance is still 0 euros..how do you put the rewards into your own balance to use it on gmg?

It takes a few days from when the achieves get added to when money is added. Try logging in/out of both playfire and GMG to see if that forces a sync.
 
I don't like saying games are bad - and I love 'masocore' platformers... but that's not enjoyable at all.

Is there no singleplayer? An odd choice putting "Main Menu" at the top, and "Back to Game" at the bottom of the start menu, too.
 
I just go the 0,50 cent achievement. It is "pretty" easy to get. All you need to do is play the second level and get past the first electricity thingy and then wall jump up to get the double jump powerup. Then you gotta backtrack to the beginning (but be fast the power up just barely lasts) of the level and double jump across the acid and wall jump up the wall. Voila. Easy money. Took me about 15 tries.
 
1849 has been patched and the civic leader achievement can now be done. Takes about 30 seconds in sandbox mode.

I checked the achievement stats and 0.6% already had it yesterday. Not suspicious at all. But yeah, all three of 1849's achievements are extremely easy to get.

Also, Fistful of Frags is kind of fun and the 0.25 and 0.50 achievements can easily be boosted on an empty server with two players.

Yeah, I got the FoF achievements with some friends yesterday. Nice and easy. I also played a bit and got another on a well populated server. The game is pretty fun, but definitely needs more polish if they want it to grow any bigger.

I'm approaching 10 achievements in Rush Bros. I hope I don't hit too many tough achievements (fuck Chimera).

pass the whiskey
I played it way longer than I though I would. It's really not bad at all.

Gonna try to finish SSZ tomorrow. Just saw that there are only 2 days left.
 
Is there any update on linking GMG/Playfire accounts which are tied to different emails? Not only does it mean I can't transfer over my credits, I also can't get any of these free games because when I sign in with my GMG account, it says it's linked to my playfire account, which of course it is...

I got e-mail some time ago, that they can link accounts now, you should contact support, that will take time, but it can be done.

How often Playfire adds money from achievements to balance? I am waiting 3 days now and Playfire registred achievements but they did not add it to balance. Also SR3 achievement Haters Gonna Hate and Fistful of Frags achievement Frag Robber are still not registered by playfire for me. Interesting thing is that i can see those achievements when i go to Playfire/Games.

That happens fairly often, you can contact support for achievements that didn't register, but it takes really long time to get any answer. And money sometimes appear like two weeks later, it happened to me couple of times, sometimes next day or week.
If you can see those achievements in your history, there is a good chance that they will add next time when your account syncs and you'll get your money then.
 
I think that Frag Robber achievement is bugged. Someone just has to let them know so that they can flip the switch hopefully.
 
There is an easy achievement for Rush Bros, you need to complete the tutorial level without dying. To do it start sliding to left and jump to the wall then you can take an alternate route.

It is annoying to contact them ever 2-3 days for us and for them. They should add button for manual sync that can be pressed every 12 hours.
 
New to this, just signed up and found 2€ of rewards in my account.
Where did I get them? I didn't sign up for the newsletter.
 
That could be yes. Maybe you recently earned some achievements that are currently on the rewards list, I think they count if Playfire syncs for the first time.
 
it sometimes takes a lot of time to give you your rewards

be patient and if it's like a couple days and nothing you can send a ticket and they're usually really quick fixing it

The achievement was fixed in a patch, but now playfire doesn't register the new version of it. Only people who used SAM before the patch are currently getting rewards for it. :/
 
So I just synched my Steam account with Playfire yesterday, and all my badges for Steam hours played disappeared. Is this normal? And none of my PS3/Vita stuff has been updated since September, how do I fix that?

Playfire seems to have some problems with PSN accounts lately, with message incorrect PSN account login, when it's the same that worked previously. It was going for couple of weeks as far as I noticed. May be they'll fix it at some point.
 
Sorry folks, been really really busy at Playfire HQ so I haven't been able to jump into these threads as often as I'd like.

The tool to do this has been a huge undertaking and unfortunately took longer than we expected. It's currently in testing, just a few bugs to fix and then we can do it. Contact Customer Support and they should be able to help you very soon.

We deployed some changes this week which means that you don't really have to wait that long. Ignore the ticks on the rewards and just head to GMG and login there as soon as you want to spend your credit.

Haters Gonna Hate is bugged, we've got tech looking into it.
Frag Robber was a bad configuration on the server (wasn't me this time, I promise!). This has been updated and you should see it appear in the next few days.

What's the achievement? I'll try and free some time to investigate.

You mean Playfire badges? They are part of the old profiles and not the Playfire Rewards BETA. You should see a tab labeled legacy.

I checked your profile, you haven't logged into GMG recently, that's why it hasn't deposited. This should be fixed in a deploy we did today anyway.

I was under impression (e-mail from your support guy) that you already can link accounts. Is it still not possible?

Sorry you've been misled. We're nearly there with being able to do that. I checked yesterday and our tech team said there was one more fix to implement before they can re-run all the tests.

Tnx id synced it self few minutes ago :D I hope that Haters Gonna Hate will be fixed soon.

Thanks! It's the "Civic Leader" Achievement in 1849, which was not possible to unlock until a few days ago (see: http://steamcommunity.com/app/290970/discussions/0/540741131650848217/). It may be that it's just a bug with my account, but I got it legitimately after the patch and playfire just didn't catch it.

Unrelated, but often people don't get their achievements tracked and rewarded because they get them in the last few hours of the rewards period. Does your system not check if the achievement was unlocked in the reward period but only if it's registered on playfire in time? Should I always make sure that there is at least a day still on the countdown so playfire has enough time to catch it?
 
What's your PF username?

Civic Leader just popped up for me in Playfire rewards. I did other 1849 achievements the same time yesterday and the other two were already rewarded yesterday so I guess they fixed whatever was the issue with Civic Leader.

If it's true that it was impossible to achieve previously, that would be a great way to catch cheaters.

Hmmm weird thing with 1849. Can you do me a favour and just try playing the game again, so it tracks on Steam. Let me know when you've done it and I'll run a test on your account.
 
radMonkey if I may make a suggestion:
There are a few big titles releasing over the next few weeks such as Killer is Dead, Transistor, Wolfenstein and Murdered: Soul Suspect.
If Playfire will be giving rewards for these games, it would help if they were all split apart weekly, so one week would be dedicated to Wolfenstein, the next to Transistor, etc. etc.
Unless the rewards for certain games will be longer than 1 week, though even then, juggling one's time between Transistor and Wolfenstein, for example, might not be possible for everyone.

Just a suggestion @3@

Even though I think Rush Bros is garbage, the achievements weren't so bad. I'm done with this shit though. I have to draw the line somewhere.

They usually give big releases a two week time limit. Some games may overlap but 2 weeks is more than enough to get all achievements for one game
