"Impossible" Gold Saucer achievements?

[Eye_Gore]

For the jumbo cactpot, it takes an expected 191 years to win. Again, it could take longer.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say if it takes any longer than that we may never know how long it took someone to get there. Probably after the first 100, I would throw in the towel, but thats just me.

Oh yea super impossible, you cant earn every achievement possible a week after new content is released it must be broke damn you SE,
DAMN YOOOOUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You missed the point.
OP isn't complaining about the fact that these achievements cannot be unlocked within a few weeks, but being able to be unlocked at all.

If you do the maths, it would take an average player something around 50 years to complete the Jumbo Cactpot achievement with cumulative wins, and nearly 200 years to win the 1st prize.

In short terms, it's impossible to give a straight number, but it's safe to assume that the vast majority of players (currently being a number between 99 et 100%) won't be able to unlock this particular achievement, ever.

That's what the OP is complaining about.



Note: I'm not saying whether or not these kind of "almost impossible" achievements are a good or a bad thing, I'm just saying that you completly missed the point and that your sarcasm was completly out of place.

Yeah, I know that. I see what the OP meant now. I thought OP was implying the achievement was for winning for the cumulative MGP to count, but she was referring to the highest payout amount for the example of how much time it would take if you were winning highest amount.

At an average rate of 20,000 MGP per year, it would still take 50 years of cumulative wins.

its supposed to take several years, not every achievement is meant to be earned within a few days..

everyone needs a goal to aim for, that might not be yours but some other people will achieve it


I already know people who won the mini cactpot 4 times during the last week, let them win the jumbo and more mini cactpots and they'll get it

Great for them. I did not even HAD a single ticket which COULD give me 10k or 3.6k. So, those with immense luck are gettin an achievement in addition to all their MGP...

You know people with already 40k by lucky tickets. I got 10% of this (and could mostly got 6-7k).

Don't think that pure RNG should be part of an achievement. :/

I'm not so much complaining as wondering whether they maybe need to be adjusted to be slightly more attainable. I'm not saying they need to be obtainable in days or even weeks, but accessible within the expected lifespan of this game is not unreasonable, especially when you have multiple achievements tied to the same objective.

Thanks for the feedback so far.

SE made it a achievement for those players lucky enough to hit the 1,000,000 MGP prize. Obviously they know people wouldn't accumulate this over time...That title or whatever are for people who have hit it big once , period point blank , its prestige in the sense of hey I WON THE LOTTERY LOOK AT ME. I don't disagree with it at all , and mini jack pots always have 10,000 MGP on them someone wins that in my FC daily, If they win it for 10 days straight they get the title.....

WHERE ARE THESE IMPOSSIBLE TO REACH ACHIEVEMENTS YOU SPEAK OF ... XD

First of all, you have to win the cactpot 100 times to get the achievement, not 10.

Second, there's less than a 10% chance that your card has the 10k cactpot combination on it.

It's one of the reasons why it's best not to be an achievement hunter in MMORPGs lol. I mean, don't get me wrong, it's ridiculously lengthy when you consider the reality of the situation, but also imagine the triumphant feeling of relief and glory after. Assuming you don't do the bad thing of reflecting upon your personal decision to take up the challenge in shame lol.

Still not impossible ......and I'm glad the first achievement regarding the Jumbo pot was eluded further solidifying my statement

All you really said is, paraphrased, "it should be impossible for 99.9% of players to ever obtain this achievement." Not much to say.

The straw-man arguments in this thread are far too amusing XD

personally if everything was obtainable/achievable in a day or 2 like certains groups of ppl want i wouldnt even be subbing to this amazing game

Oh yea super impossible, you cant earn every achievement possible a week after new content is released it must be broke damn you SE,
