An achievement conundrum.

So I've ridden on the train about 150 times now... Still haven't gotten my Ground Hogger achievement. So I tried unboarding the train, boarding again, travel somewhere and repeat 110 or so tries (it says I've visited the Train like 120 times)... Still nothing.
Now my friend did the same thing as me, and he hasn't gotten the achievement either.

Anyone know what the trick is to getting the Ground Hogger badge? :( I feel like I've just wasted 4 hours of my life, lol...

  • I think you have to actually leave the station.  But could be wrong about that, perhaps someone else will chime in here.

  • It sounds like there could be a bug. What does the number say for "This is your ## visit"?

  • You don't have to leave the station, just the train. The number when you board the train is a very good way of keeping track of how many 'rides' you should have for the badge (which is more information than we currently get for any other badge). This method has never failed me.

    If it says you've visited the train 120 times then you really might have a bug.

  • I've visited the train 117 times. My friend says he's visits. Apparently one of my friends has gotten it, but I didn't ask how he did it... Maybe he exited the station, I don't know.

  • In chat this evening, a member of staff (that's you RascalMom... get used to it) said that there was apparently a bug where the subway trips weren't being counted for a while.

    :-(

    So the number of visits to the train may be more than the number of trips counted towards the achievement... better dust off your "please don't talk to me" earphones and venture underground again.

  • I had the same thing happen to me. It took 260something subway rides before I got the badge for 251 rides.

  • Got this message from support when I submitted as possible bug:
    "Regarding subway badges:When the game went live, the achievement counter for the subway didn't get activated right away, but the counter for how many times you have ridden the subway did. So there is a discrepancy between how many times you have ridden and how many are being counted toward achievements—so sorry! It depends how much you rode the subway right after we went out of beta. For example, my own were about 18 off. If you just keep riding, you'll have that badge in no time...and then you'll know about how many rides off you are as well for future badges. Hope this information helps!"

    Update: I got it 6 stops later.
