Completist Achievements

After finding that there were "completist" achievements added that reward you for exploring every street in a hub, I started exploring the forest and meadow. After visiting every street AND the seam streets, I still don't have the achievements! Do I need to visit all the quarters as well? Because that's a bit too much exploring for me.

  • I thought that you did have to explore the Quarters and I have always done so.  However, this morning I was awarded the Badge without visiting one of the Quarters.  Was it a bug?  Do we not need to visit all of those blocks?  Do the blocks not count for the Leaderboard?  I have no idea.  BTW, if you do visit the blocks, you need not walk all over them, just got to each one and then on to the next.  You will get the "1st Time Here" message on every block and every floor of the apartment buildings but you get it only once in the Manors and Cottages of the Bogs.  Apparently in the Bogs you need only enter a Manor or Cottage then you can go back out again.

  • These achievements are buggy right now, I have heard.

  • I just completed Groddle Heights and didn't get an achievement either. I'll submit a bug.

  • I think it's more likely you've forgotten a street.  (And no, I haven't needed to get the neighborhood streets.)

  • I also understand that those achievements are buggy. BUT! You don't need the neighborhood streets... I got the Alakol achievement without visiting Isalan Interval Quarter at all.

  • Hello all - really nice to be back at the start, knowing that this time we just keep to make forward progress.

    As for the housing quarters, based on my travels last night and current status on the leaderboard and achievements, I have concluded that the housing quarters are NOT being reflected in either – a change from just last week. I base this on the leaderboard saying I have visited 65 streets, and, the achievement I received for "Visited 61 new locations”.

    Looking at housing quarters/villas/etc. alone, I have visited over 100+ of just those. The 65 streets counted nearly matches my list of "regular" streets I have visited and that is why I think at the moment that housing areas are no longer counted.

    TS - can we get a clarification from you on this? It is strange because I have gotten the “this is the first time visited” message on all of these 100+ streets, and of course no additional XP is added for those which is what I recall reading during the last set of tests. This is one of the items you adjusted after the last reset - I think it was back in the early summer. Even after that adjustment, new housing streets had been adding to my position on the leadboard, right up to last week.

    Thanks

  • I do believe that, at least on Groddle Island, these achievements are somewhat bugged. I have been keeping track on all the streets I have visited in Groddle Heights and Forest, including the neigbourhood quarters which I believe is not included in the actual achievement, and I still cannot trigger the respective badges.

    On the other hand, the one in Ix did trigger for me (which was easy, lol).

  • I just verified that I have gotten the Ix Completist without going to Uncle Friendly's Emporium.

    This adds to my confusion on what is being counted.

  • I verified on each encyclopedia page for the streets within each of the Groddle Island hubs and I've visited them all at least once. Also visited the inside of the subways, community rooms, and administrative buildings.

  • Just got the completist achievement in Alakol, so it still works in some areas.
    Posted 15 months ago by Shanely Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Sorry, everyone. We accidentally had the wrong number of streets for Groddle Forest, Groddle Heights, and Groddle Meadows. It should be fixed now.

  • Salatu is not working. Just visited all the streets there and the subway.
    Posted 15 months ago by Shanely Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Also went through all of Salatu yesterday and did not get the badge.

  • If the Groddle areas are now fixed, how do we trigger the achievements? I still don't have them, and traveling through those areas isn't triggering them.
    Posted 15 months ago by Shanely Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Also went through Salatu, although it doesn't appear that there was ever a Salatu Completist achievement to begin with if you look through the Encyclopedia.  

    @Etna: I've visited every street in Groddle Heights and Groddle Forest pre-fix, but I still haven't actually gotten the achievement.  What do I need to do to make the achievement complete?
    Posted 15 months ago by Jannisary Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Just confirming that the fix is in, even though the triggers for those who have already explored Groddle aren't — just finished exploring Groddle Meadow for the first time, and received the Groddle Meadow Completist achievement as planned! :)

  • Etna: Thanks for the post.

    Can you confirm my new theory on the housing quarters?? In other words, visiting each "street" in a housing quarter no longer counts in the achievement or leaderboard counts.

    This is important to know, especially as someday I can foresee that there will be thousands and thousands of housing streets and trying to keep up with visiting them all would start to become nearly impossible, or at least a very large burden.

    Thanks in advance for letting all of us know.

  • @Shadowy Time: I don't know what Etna has to say about this, but I can personally verify your theory: I never had to visit any residential areas to receive the Alakol Completist achievement, and visiting residential areas no longer affects my position on the Most Traveled Leaderboard.
    Posted 15 months ago by Jannisary Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @Jannisary: Thanks. The reason I am looking for verification is that this has changed from just last Tuesday when the final set of new housing quarters was added/opened. I was lucky enough to hold between the 1st to 4th place on the Travelers leaderboard for the past 2-3 months and know that last week when those final housing quarters opened, they added to my ranking on the board.

    I am actually glad that they no longer count because someday the task of visiting them all would become nearly impossible. Keeping up with all the new streets, instanced rooms, etc. will be enough fun and will keep the game much more fresh - at least to me.

  • Speaking of which, some areas don't have completion bonuses. Tamila is one. Is this because they will be expanded on in the future?

  • Seems to still be a little bugged; I got Groddle Meadow but not Forest or Heights.
    Posted 15 months ago by Hagbard Celine Subscriber! | Permalink
  • i got forest and meadow but not heights.

    heights ought to be the easy one, since there are fewer spurs and alternate routes.

    i even did the locked streets, but no heights badge.

  • I got forest and meadow but not heights as well. According to the encyclopedia (with grease monkey) I've been to all of them (including neighborhoods) and a couple that may not be on that list (like the subway and seams...). Does anyone have this one yet?

    I'm willing to admit it may be my issue if the devs recounted. 
    Posted 15 months ago by Quirk Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I don't think it's just your issue, Quirk — I never got Heights either (although I did get Forest triggered, yay!  Thanks devs!).
    Posted 15 months ago by Jannisary Subscriber! | Permalink
  • i believe salatu is still not working.
    Posted 15 months ago by flask Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I believe I believe I agree with flask.

  • I walked all the streets in Alakol, Groddle Forest, Groddle Meadows, Bortala (or Baqala, I'm getting them mixed up) and Kajuu, and got nothing. I only got the achievements for Ix and the Caverns.
    Posted 15 months ago by Jarhaven Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Has any one gotten the Heights achievement yet? I was able to get Meadow and Forest.
    Posted 15 months ago by MaryLiLamb Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I suspect we are not done building Salatu, which is why it doesn't have a badge yet.

    Anyway, I am still waiting on Groddle Heights, which I am pretty sure I completed.  Groddle Meadow did trigger for me, but something like 4-8 hours after I finished exploring (they were still tinkering with things then, I think).

  • I was ass/u/me'ing the existence of a subway station meant the area was totally built-out, but it seems there is no badge for Salatu, so maybe it's not finished.  Or maybe they forgot the badge.
    Posted 15 months ago by Biff Beefbat Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Salatu and at least one other region didn't have badges yet. I completed them, but didn't expect the achievements because A) There wasn't one in the list and B) I understood that the regions may not be done yet.

    Still no Heights by the time the test ended.
    Posted 15 months ago by Quirk Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Yeah I don't have heights either. :/  I've checked and triple checked each street.
    Posted 15 months ago by Angel Slocombe Subscriber! | Permalink
  • My own hub isn't showing an achievement and I'm quite certain I visited every street. But I think the area will be expanded before long (Aranna) and the count isn't stable. I got Ix, Uralia, Illemskie Caverns and Deeps. I'll be working on larger, stable areas later.
    Posted 15 months ago by Fokian Fool Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I've gotten the badges for Uralia, Ix, Alakol, Bartola, Kajuu and Andra as soon as I entered the last street. The ones for Groddle Forest and Groddle Meadow were added much later after the developers noticed about the missing/bugged achievements (I presume they got fixed).

    No triggers as of yet for Groddle Heights (I wonder if Martleby Hare is considered part of it despite its locked nature), Salatu or Muufo (I suspect both areas are yet to be completed officially, but I need to double check the latter since there is an official badge for it).
