Three achievements seem to have been removed. There used to be 7 and now there are 4: Was this is the change notes of any recent updates?
Those were the seasonal achievements (Halloween and Christmas), and It was something we planned to do since a while. We received many feedback on them, and what mostly stood out is that having them locked for most of the year was not fun. Plus, we haven't done more of these seasonal events for a few years now, so they were not available to get. Achievements in general are not done, and it's possible we will have more in the future.
As one of the people who had all of them, I feel slightly insulted after all the work I did to get them. Couldn't you edit the conditions for them being granted so that they happen every year? I feel like if someone wants to get all the achievements, they're probably invested enough to play for more than one year. Nevertheless, I understand if they were better off removed, but maybe things like this should also be in the patch notes so annoying people like me won't go complaining. Thanks for your time.
I'm sorry you felt insulted, that was not our intention. And no, it would be less fun if we just proposed the same thing every year without any change. That's why we removed these achievements, rather than keep then around and at the same time impossible to get for new users (they haven't been possible to get for 2 years now)
Still the thumbnails of two achievemnts don't load... Restarted Steam but it didn't change. If you click on "Show all my achievements" the two images load correctly.
I don't think the lock worked, I swear I remember throwing in a Halloween mod around Christmas time just to get the achievement and it worked anyway, doesn't feel like it's been 2 years though
yep, same thing to me... @Nadeox1 Si mi ricordo degli altri tre achievement... peccato ci avevo sudato tanto per farli ahaha... non importa, capisco che li avete tolti per un motivo credo siano le 226 ore piĆ¹ ben spese in un gioco su steam... sicuramnete meglio delle mie 626 ore su csgo HHAHA
Couldn't possibly be this difficult just fix and enable the event once a year. That's a lot of people's effort put into trash just like that. Some people take AH hunting very seriously. And those were some really rare achievements.
The game is in early access alpha, everything is subject to change... No reason to get so attached to achievements for a WIP game. Especially since you still have 100% and the sensible ones are still there, only the weird ones were removed.
It is not uncommon for games to have achievements that are no longer obtainable. Heck, even CSGO has some achievements that you can obtain without doing some game file editing. I normally am not a fan of unobtainable achievements, however Beamng feels like the perfect game for them to remain. Its not a game you play to hunt achievements, and having the achievements from older events is a nice way of displaying that you are somebody who has had beamng since the early days.
Not necessarily. There are plenty of games which have seasonal content, such as Animal Crossing (many catchable creatures are season-specific), and that doesn't take away from the experience. if anything, it adds to it, and I think the snowman hunt and other events were fun to complete and players who really want to get 100% of the achievements will wait until they are available. I don't see the problem with making them available again for appropriate times every year, then doing anything else on top of that, but if there's a genuine problem with it then I don't mind. Nevertheless, this game is already a work of art and mere achievements don't subtract from the experience, although it is nice to have something to do every now and then instead of just freeroam, time trials and scenarios.
This is happening to me as well. But i figured it was a steam bug and not the devs. Steam is buggy at times... Id like to give my 2 cents. I did like the achievements, maybe not a yearly thing but the seasonal aspect of it i found unique. If it wouldnt be stuck in 2018 and it would be re-acquirable every year, i dont see why this wouldnt work. But we cant please everyone can we... gotta live with it. I was also one of the ones who had all of the achievements. -3. rip. no big deal.. but i was quite happy after working for them and getting them all. I know you guys are just doing your jobs. im sure yall are doing the right thing nonetheless. Big rip for those achievements lost tho. Hopefully we get to see them back in a more refined way that will work for the majority. I have been loving the few mods that adds achievements across the map. Idk why but i keep dreaming of a version of beamng with hundreds of random little dumb achievements that are fun to get.. i can keep dreaming tho...
