Playfire Rewards Discussion Thread

Bleh. Heileen won't register any achievements for me at all (not even in Steam, let alone Playfire), and Oil Rush won't even open on my system because of a SteamAPI_init() error that I can't solve using the one method posted to their forums. Sigh.
 
What are the reward achievements for Crimsonland? Playfre says "Crimsonland - unlock TBC" for all 3 of them. Well, maybe they haven't decided yet but the rewards expire in 2.5 days
 
I have been credited with Red River despite the game not opening..ha. I'm still missing some rewards from several days ago so I guess I'll be creating another support ticket.
 
Are there enough people in this thread to set up an 8 person group for the Batman multiplayer achievement? It should be pretty easy to crank out for everyone participating.
 
Looks like these are the games I can pursue for rewards:

Killing Floor
Oil Rush
Stealth Bastard
Driftmoon
Explodemon
Megabyte Punch
Swords and Soldiers
Crusader Kings II
Grimind
Master Reboot
Reversion: The Escape
Magicka
March of War
Smooth Operators
Nikopol
Postal
Postmortem One Must Die
39 Steps
F1 Race Stars

Not enough time! Probably will do Reversion and Magicka (some tips earlier in this thread). Apparently Oil Rush and Stealth Bastard require a few hours each, so I'll pass on those. Otherwise, anybody have recommendations or experience for which games' achievement rewards are more doable in a shorter amount of time?

I think somebody posted tips for Postal a few pages back (savestates to unlock), haven't got the game so I can't confirm if this works :>

Just a heads up, I got the VVVVVV £0.5 achievement just for finishing the laboratory time trial level, the achievement might be bugged for that one so you just need some patience to get it.
 
Weird, I finished VVVVVV but didn't get any achievements, did they add those at a later date? Time to play it again apparently, it's great game.

The VVVVVV time trials achievements are bugged, in that you always get them if you beat the level, no matter what your ranking is. You still need to find the trinkets to unlock the time trials though.

Yeah, like a week ago.
 
Note to self: Finish up VVVVVV.

Just finished it at 1h:18m according to the game, you might finished it way faster though if you're not terrible at it like I was.

Ah, that's why it's already unlocked for me. I have played the game quite a bit last year before finishing it today.
 
VVVVVV added achievements on the 12th and we updated the Playfire product page today.

Tracking was quite tough during the GMG Sale, we're down to tracking your account every 25 hours currently, for those that want to know. Obviously we're working harder to get that down.
 
How do I do time trials in VVVVVV?

NVM, I'm dumb.

You already edited :P

but just in case, you do it by collecting the trinkets.

If you want to be cheap you can turn on the accessibility options in the game to slow down time and even make yourself invincible to make collecting them easier.

IMO The only trinket that was hard to collect was the Veni Vidi Vici one, but that one thing is a lot harder than anything else in the game.
 
Woah, VVVVVV has cheevos now. Guess I might go back and try for those along with some other stuff. Might as well build up some money before Steam/GMG sale.
 
Argh, no GTAV order page yet tho. I guess this is what most of us will spend their playfire credit on, huh?

That's what I'm waiting on! Hopefully it launches at $49.99, because I have earned $25.33 so far. A 20% coupon + my credit = final price of ~$15 (based on Alien Isolation's new preorder page).

I look forward to GTAV Playfire rewards too.
 
The 0.10 and 0.25 ones for Magicka can be done in the tutorial stage so only a few minutes, the 0.50 is in chapter 5 I think.

How do you get the "Imma firin mah lazer" achievement in single player? I tried using a shield and reflecting beams, but it seems like you have to join two separately created beams to get that one, thus requiring it be done in a multiplayer game.

You can do it with a shield, it's just tricky. I used an arcane beam and both an AoE shield and a front facing shield and bounced it all around, took a while to pull off though. Apparently you can also do it on enemy cast beams which may be easier if you plan to play through to the 0.50 reward.

I know that Playfire bans users who use SAM (Steam Achievement Manager). Do they do the same for using downloaded game saves? Would they flag accounts that get achievements without first getting achievements that would normally be obtained earlier in the game?

My account was banned for using game saves the other day actually. Unfortunate because I had about $50-60 of legit credit wiped as a result.
 
Did you do it to skip ahead and get like midgame achievements or something before getting other story related ones?

Leaving one collectible left, unlockable characters, story related achievements. Most of it was in order. I'm pretty sure it's based on too many achievements unlocking in a specific time frame which is deemed unrealistic by their team. That's the only way they distinguish anything it appears.
