Achievements rebalance

pixel_player897254951

Am I right that this has not yet been implemented? I see no difference in my Rice and Bamboo achievements.

Pimpim

When completing an achievement, along with the reward of XP and gems, we usually got a small flag to display in our camp.
In the WebGL version, these don't show as rewards when clicking on the cup. Do we still get flags or not?

Pimpim

So I finished the Human Moth achievement, and I couldn't find a flag in my inventory.
I shifted the game to Flash, and there it was.

Could a Pixel member explain why we don't get a flag in WebGL? What will happen when Flash doesn't work anymore?

BlameTheParrot

Pimpim it's because there's an error affecting both WebGL and mobile versions of the game. Pixel is already aware of the issue & is taking steps to get it resolved. I'm assuming the flag will show in WebGL once fixed.

Any update on when the rebalance will happen.

No rush, but if it has already happened then it didn't work for me.

I got an extra level yesterday.
I'm still a long way from finishing level 7 and I'm almost finished Greece! I collect next to no bamboo and rice any more so unless there's a supply in the New World, there's no realistic prospect of ever finishing these achievements.

After the rebalance I have to earn 25000 bamboo for getting this achievement.
I'm in New World and I have cleared all other worlds.
It isn't possible to reach this achievement for me.
The only one mine with bamboo is Bamboo Forest and I'll get only 30-60 bamboo.
That's bad. 🙁

I don't know if it has been rebalanced as the bamboo is still too much and the rice is still FAR too much to get as well.

marzena_de

gamemaster you are completely right.

I disagree on the rice. I have mined it since december (paddy fields twice a day, everyday), starting at a near completed level 5 then, and i'm now completing the last achievement level. I'm at something like nearly 9 000 on 50 000. In a few months, i will have completed it.

Bamboo, on the other hand, is still horribly high even after rebalance, and there's so few of it to mine...

And let's not talk about herbs. Have this achievement been changed, or will it be? I tried to estimate how long it would require for me to get to the end (i'm at level 6, 11607 / 80000), by mining any that could give it. The answer was 3.5 years.

I'm not taking into account chambers of fortune and temple of fortune, as that would require a constant stream of gem to get all needed green rings - 34 rings / week - but "only" for about 70 weeks. That's about 52 000 gems required, costing a wonderful 1 500$ only to hope having that achievement done in 16 months. So... nope.

I have the same problem as everyone else here. Since this week I have been planning to visit the repeatable mines for the still open Achievments of the old regions every day.
I calculated how long it would take me for herbs, bamboo and rice without including the green rings.
According to my calculation, if I visit the mines every day, I still need the following days:
Rice Level 7 -> 9012 / 150000 -> 729 days (approx. 193.4 pieces per day)
Bamboo Level 8 -> 6487 / 40000 -> 452 days (approx. 74.2 pieces per day)
Herbs Level 6 -> 3992 / 80000 -> 10557 days -> 28,9 years (approx. 7,2 pieces per day)
Is there now a plan for rebalancing?
After all, this thread is almost a year old.

Rice and bamboo were adjusted some time ago

The herbs are still yet to change.

huh, I've been in atlantis for 6 months and I'm done the rice achievements (seaweed sushi obliterated my rice and wood stockpiles, lol). I'm at the beginning of the final bamboo achievement too, and still haven't got around to finishing any china sidequests.

herbs, though, herbs are pure BS. And I doubt I'll finish copper before reaching the NW.

Chani
I'm in New World and copper, tin and iron ore are about 52-71% done.
Partner is only 36-52% done with those.
So another 3+ years and we might have them done.
Rice 26k out of 50k,
How long were you in China?
My partner is on 43k out of 50k, she was in China so long i got to Greece when she finally moved to Atlantis.
Bamboo 11k out of 20k.
Hers is 18k out of 20k.
Looks like the key for those is stay in China , 😆

Chani

gamemaster I was in china roughly 6 months. I've been doing the rice repeatable again since not long after reaching atlantis, though.

I've stopped doing the black pearl repeatable actually, after all the xmas rings got me enough for all the atlantis equipment. maybe in a few months I'll see how many I've been getting from the ad chests, and whether I need to do the repeatable some more for greece equipment. then again, it's been 6 months and I haven't finished the first atlantis god, so maybe I'll have next year's xmas rings for greece 😛

Oh, and I'm aaalmost done coal. 🙂 I haven't been using much, even with a lot of my cooking being boiled lobster and seaweed soup.

Back to this post, 7 months after my last reply.

As of now, after more than a year with regular farming :

rice level 8 : 45867 / 50000 -> will be finished about next month. It certainly took much longer than expected.
bamboo level 8 : 11416 / 20000 -> 231 days again...
I really hope that newer players have access to far more rice and bamboo than me, while playing in the China region (i finished it more than 3 years ago).
black pearls level 8 : 72 / 130 -> april. Good. That's horrifically slow (a pearl every 3 days), but it's ongoing. It would be good if events (such as the christmas one) also gave rare resources from previous regions. For instance, when we have rings to collect and exchange: it was frustrating for me to be restricted to diamonds in the Chambers of Christmas fortune...

Now, the base ones. The ones we shouldn't be still trying to complete, after a few regions have been finished:

iron level 6 : 88518 / 100000 -> 49 days. In fact, more like 75 days as i'm generally limiting myself to 8 hours mine. It's exhausting enough as it is.
tin level 6 : 59291 / 100000 -> 256 days. 340 days with only 8 hours mine. Tin is really hard to come by, with a low output.
herbs level 6 : 19153 / 80000. Not even trying to figure out how long it would take me.

Basically, i'll be finished with new world's resources achievements before i'm done with the tin one (i abandoned the idea of completing the herbs achievement).

So... yes, i'm convinced rebalance is still needed.

I, too, am curious about the herbivore achievement. Like many others, I need coal, copper, tin and ore, but I can slog through the mines if I want to accelerate these. Is there anywhere to go to collect herbs? Is gameplay and the Green Ring fortune locations the only way to collect these? I've looked through the repeatable locations and I do not see a way to collect herbs. I'm in Atlantis, so the only Green Ring location with herbs available to me is the Egyptian Chamber of Fortune. Am I missing something? Thanks.

Mushroom Pit has an average of 7 herbs (range: 0 - 15) and 11 vegetable roots (range 6 - 26).
Feline Treasury has an average of 4 herbs (range: 0 - 12).

Chani

pixel_player42235645 the mushroom pit still has a few, and I've been finding them here and there in the atlantis main maps as tiles that look like seaweed's stuck in them, but no, there isn't really a good place to get herbs without green rings.

pixel_player42235645

Fisrt of all, I'm stunned at how quickly you both responded. Thanks! I did not know that the mushroom pit had herbs, I thought it was only vegetable roots (and mushrooms, obviously). I can clear that mine once a day. It's very inexpensive. even if it's slow. I'm still level 5 at 10169/16000. Let's hope they re-balance this one. Thanks again!
