    Fall guys title achievement

    There are separate threads about the various other parts of Fall guys, but can we take a moment to just look at the insanity of deciding to put the title on an achievement for 100 wins?

    If the content is expected to be popular, then with 24 people, anyone with average skill should average 1 win in 24 games, meaning the title would require 2400 games.

    Looking at other limited time grinds, even the Garo event, which was extended for years, only required an expected 180 games (60 wins of frontline at a 1 in 3 expected win rate).

    For a fun title, to have it this egregiously grindy makes going into the event unappealing, to the point that it took me a few days to even bother with it.

    This might be harder than the 100 wins.

    Personally, I don't think it's insane. It's just 100 wins, in a bite-sized mini-game that will periodically return to the game. All for a title that nobody needs. It's there for people who are super hardcore for this event, and if that's not you, that's fine.

    There are plenty of titles in the game that I will never get because they require doing an amount of something that I don't want to do. And that's fine. Different strokes for different folks. I hope the people who enjoy doing those things more than I do enjoy their titles.

    If the idea of never getting a title makes you not want to do an activity at all, that sounds like a real bummer. If you can, I'd recommend taking a step back, accepting that it's fine if you never get some meaningless title, and not letting it haunt you like a specter. It'd be a shame if you never ate ice cream just because you doubted your ability to earn the "I Ate A Billion Ice Creams" badge .

    Return when, though? How (ir)regularly? On what schedule? I'd venture a guess that that's the source of anxiety.

    I think irregularly means not on a schedule.

    Probably similar to the Yokai Watch event.

    I agree that it's too much. They could have added achievements for up to 5-10 wins and then another achievement being tied to getting to the last stage a specific amount of times (300 or something like that since they love to make us grind for those things) instead of winning 100 times against 23 other players...

    I've only managed to get 1 win so far. I got into a lobby where I was solo so all I had to do was beat each of the games. I know I won't get the title unless that happens 99 more times

    This is par for the course no?

    Sure as hell beats the insane DoH/L achievements or literal years it takes to do levequests.

    It's too much of a chore to actually bother with these, if I am being honest.

    Personally, I would have locked it behind 10 wins, 25 as an absolute stretch. - Then just have additional achievements with title rewards etc., for accumulating x number of MGF.

    I just nabbed my rewards, and only pop in there now when I'm asked through friends. I would love to do this more, as I know I'd actually enjoy it, but it simply doesn't work as it should.

    I would take these achievements far sooner than I would Fall Guys, personally. You are dealing with a fully functional system, that whilst there are allowance limitations, it's still content that is always available. In a few months this content will be unavailable, and god only knows when they'd elect to make it available again.
