Personal thoughts about Fall Guys achievement

[RyveSontek]

I don't know how much I like putting the blame with SE for people being unable to enjoy an event just because there's a hard or grindy achievement linked to it.
I have thoroughly enjoyed the event. I started winning a lot and was one of the very first people with King/Queen Bean. And now I still play it because I enjoy the content so much.
So, how much is it truly SE that should have done things different with the achievement and not the people that can't see the trees in the forest anymore.

SE needs to do a better job with achievement balancing in general, but especially the achievements that are limited time only.

My suggestion for the future if they add events like this (though they won't see this probably):
- Reduce the number of required wins to around 10-15
- Add an achievement that's "Participate in Event 100 times" or however many times SE wants us to on average to participate

My reasoning: by requiring 100 wins, people like me who will grind it out will get really sweaty with it and start mapping out routes to get to the end, giving people who are playing more casually and reactively a very difficult path to win, which I can see being frustrating for more casual players. This is supposed to be a fun kind of casual event and unfortunately with the way it is structured it really just kind of makes the last stage unfun for the vast majority. Reducing the number of required wins, it will make some of those who are actually mapping out routes, not do that, at least I wouldn't be, I would personally be a lot more casual with it.
Since they would be reducing the win amount quite a bit, they would counteract it with a participation number achievement. Still make those people who would be grinding the 100 wins needing to grind out something and keep the queues populated.

I realize they won't change the fall guys event achievement, but maybe if they add more events and achievements in the future, they would maybe consider something like this.

Is it really timed if it will return? I guess it kind of is and isn't at the same time.

As for mapping routes. A good basic understanding of each section will get you just as far and is far less effort than mapping the whole level from the start.
That's how I've been winning matches day 1 and still do. While that is not fully in reach for everyone, it is perhaps not quite as sweaty as you make it out to be. (Still a little sweaty though)

Can't be having any grind that requires effort in this game. Please, only instant gratification and bare minimum button pushing or I'll be forced to abuse match-making and use dirty 3pt cause people need to know I'm the most regal Bean to ever live.

I know and it can be frustrating like I said on page one. But they've never taken achievements or rewards out of anything because of people cheating. They don't take out other PvP achievements despite PvP botters being everywhere. Feast/CC achievements and rewards which are also temporary are not taken out despite being riddled with questionable practices. Garo is a 'temporary' event that requires wins for one of the mounts, but they've never altered it. I'm not going to sit here and say it's the best. I've already said they should reduce the amount of wins... but participation points are not the point of PvP games.

The achievement's a complete joke. I got it the first time the event was released.

I won once because of a bug in the event and was legit alone in it haha but I do think it should have been better then the scripted mess it is
