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.

How much time did you spend getting these achievements?

 

[Nabs]

How much time did you spend getting these achievements?

I spent a lot of time alt-tab'd, so I'm not sure. I'd say that the majority were done in the first 2 hours of playing. Tip: skip the cheap stuff. The "take no damage" achievements are garbage. Also slide.

Nah come on dude, you can do better than that!

 

[zkylon]

I don't think the tracking works while family-sharing.

Nah come on dude, you can do better than that!

Wow, you got there fast! I've been playing for about 5 hours, but at least I have all of the playfire achievements now.

 

[radMonkey]

Unfortunately not. It's possible we might add family-sharing tracking later, but even if we do, I'll be honest, I'm not sure we'd necessarily offer rewards against it.

I did the "take no damage" achievement in the first level, it was pretty easy. My problem are the controls it doesn't feel fluid, and already knew about sliding.

my scheme has been foiled

ah well

So a couple of days ago my month-old rewards missing ticket was closed with a mention that the missing credit has been added to my GMG account directly... but it doesn't look like it
Guess I'll have to open a new ticket.

Did I mention it's awesome to have you back?

Sent a PM your way.

 

[sheaaaa]

Anyone else not having You Have To Win The Game achievements show up?

 

[Zoned]

How much time does it take to get GMG credit to appear in the account? It's been more than 30 days and still haven't got the credit for linking my Steam account. Also no credit for other game achievements.

 

[DunderHassan]

Wow, you got there fast! I've been playing for about 5 hours, but at least I have all of the playfire achievements now.

That's impressive, still havent decided if I'm gonna go for those two Climb achievements (which are the only ones I have left now), that level is annoying as hell.

Anyone else not having You Have To Win The Game achievements show up?

In Steam or Playfire?
I didn't realize at first that you have to play the Extra Spicy mode to get achievements, so be sure to pick that one and not normal mode.

I played You Have to Win the Game on normal and got achievements.

 

[DunderHassan]

I played You Have to Win the Game on normal and got achievements.

Well that's strange, no matter what I did, I wouldn't get achievements until I picked the Extra Spicy mode (even the die once achievement).

 

[Last Baron]

For the 20 targets in strike mode SSZ cheese, can you really not just keep reloading the checkpoint and destroy torpedos? I must have gotten 20 by now but nothing.

Ahhh, I spoke too soon. Free money!

 

[YianGaruga]

I don't think Rush Bros is as bad as people here are saying. And the achievements are pretty easy if you've played something like Super Meat Boy or Dustforce before.

It has an unfortunate artstyle and soundtrack though.

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.

Don't know if it was you, but I think it's fixed. Thanks!

Yeah, got all the rewards achievements myself and I had fun playing the game.

Can the airborne enemy one be boosted?

 

[Kiru]

My rewards page doesn't change. No sight of the Rush Bros. achievements. I like Playfire, but I can't contact them for every little thing... :/

I don't have them either, and I got them yesterday.
Fistful of frags are missing too, I'll wait a couple of days before contacting GMG.

 

[Blue Ninja]

Fuck this, not gonna bother with Rush Bros' rewards. I've tried getting that first one twenty times and it's just pissing me off, not gonna risk breaking my controller over that. :lol

 

[Saty]

Only 1 CSGO achievement i didn't have :\ At least it was a 0.50 one. Good thing is you can play against dumb bots so you can get everything pretty quickly.

 

[yatesl]

Yeah, it's a bit pants that already unlocked achievements don't count. I had all of the Spelunky ones.

 

[Vuze]

So those for me, have unlocked all the other CSGO cheevos already.
Blitzkrieg
Participation Award
Expert Marksman

Just saw this on reddit:

Playfire Rewards are now credited as £0.50 = €0.50 = $0.50

Is that true? FAQ still mentions the currency conversion.

EDIT: Yeah some people are reporting it on their forum. Not a big change but still. I hope radMonkey can comment on it.

[YianGaruga]

There are comments from people saying it's fixed and they got the right amount of credit, but I just got my latest rewards and I got the same amount in £ as in €.

It has not been transferred to GMG yet, so maybe it's just a display bug on the rewards page and it'll change later?

Now that you mention it, mine has not been transferred too, we'll see.

sucks but i guess it's fair

The math doesn't check out, it's not fair for € and $ users. If game prices were also £ = $ = €, then it would be true. Whether you calculate it with £30, £40 or £45 as your base price, euro guys are paying 50-60€ for that same game, while the $ price will very likely be $60. Or in other words, a £0.50 / 0.50€ / $0.50 achievement is worth 1.11 - 1.66% the total price for £ users. For euro pricing, it's worth 0.83 - 1.0% and for dollar pricing it's worth 0.83%.

So $ users are sometimes getting half value out of a top tier reward compared to £ users. Now I have to emphasize that Playfire is literally handing out money so maybe we shouldn't complain too much, but it's a change that benefits Playfire/GMG and I guess most people wouldn't even realize how much smaller their rewards are if this system is permanently introduced.

I see you then have to click on Knowledge Base and the entry on submitting a ticket to get to the page that has a direct link to contacting support. They could have make it more apparent.

Don't worry, it's just a display bug in the rewards page, my GMG has been updated and there isn't a £ = $ = € conversion.
Edit: now the bug is fixed in the Rewards page too.

Nice, thanks for the confirmation.

 

[Linearskillz]

Hm, the CS:GO achievement "Magic Bullet" wasn't awarded even though every other achievement was. Boo! Another ticket to submit...

It's on the home page of Playfire, took me like 5 seconds to find it when I needed to contact support.

That just brings you to Zendesk not to the "new ticket" page. As far as I can tell getting to the new ticket page is not obvious - you either need to search for something or know the direct link.

I can also add my confirmation that the currency conversion is happening normally for me.

 

[YianGaruga]

Got all of them except Magic Bullet myself. Maybe it's bugged, but there's still time left and they're usually good at fixing it a few days later.

EDIT: I can also confirm that the correct currency conversion happens once the checkmarks appear on the rewards page and credit is transferred to GMG. What you see before that doesn't matter, so false alarm.

 

[radMonkey]

Just saw this on reddit:

EDIT: Yeah some people are reporting it on their forum. Not a big change but still. I hope radMonkey can comment on it.

Just looking into it this morning. It's a bit of a bug with some new methods we're utilising to improve transfer times. Basically, you can ignore it. When you go to buy something in the store it will be updated with the right amount based on the daily conversion rate.

Yeah, it's a bit pants that already unlocked achievements don't count. I had all of the Spelunky ones.

We offer rewards on pretty much all new games, so if you get it at release you don't miss out. We do however still offer rewards on older games in line with sales or polls so that people who missed out can still earn rewards - just not as many. Hope that makes sense?

Fuck this, not gonna bother with Rush Bros' rewards. I've tried getting that first one twenty times and it's just pissing me off, not gonna risk breaking my controller over that. :lol

Ha ha, I got a colleague to test the achievements for me to see how hard they were. He smashed a controller and hurt his hand!

My rewards page doesn't change. No sight of the Rush Bros. achievements. I like Playfire, but I can't contact them for every little thing... :/

Give it a bit of time. The Rush Bros. promotion has slowed things down. Most people's accounts I've checked this morning now have the rewards.

Please contact Customer Support if you have a login issue.

How much time does it take to get GMG credit to appear in the account? It's been more than 30 days and still haven't got the credit for linking my Steam account. Also no credit for other game achievements.

It's pretty much straight away now, so your credit should be there ready to spend. As for linking your Steam account, I'll look into it. What's your Playfire username?
