Hi! Yes, occasionally a situation arises where we need to adjust the requirements of an achievement. If that occurs, we usually run a test to see how many people will lose the achievement under the adjusted requirements. Sometimes, if it's too many people, we'll try something different. Sometimes, if the people losing it are doing so because they only got it because the requirements were "off" or afforded an illogical loop hole, then we move forward. In cases where people will lose achievements, I tend to contact them personally to let them know why. If we are closing a loop hole or doing some other fix that means someone is losing an achievement they shouldn't have really earned in the first place by the spirit of the achievement, players are generally very understanding. I really appreciate this, since it can be difficult to come at every achievement from every angle and make sure they are foolproof. Sometimes we do need to make adjustments like this, and we appreciate the patience of the community when that occurs!

Yes. That already happens.

I lost the "Play all Deep Space 9" achievement because while that achievement allows exceptions for [Ref] cards, the errata to Wake of the Borg left me with a non- [Ref] TNG card in that deck (that I played in 2017) and uncoupled me from the achievement.

Sometimes changes are warranted though. I won't get on my soapbox here, but it's still really dumb that despite earning all of the "current" 1e TD achievements, I don't get the "1e Director" achievement - and by extension the "I can run anything" achievement, which is worth 25(!) Achievement points - because the now-expired "Revised Director" and "X-List Director" achievements are still attached to it. Fixing the code on that one would be a good thing.

sounds easy.
Points -5?
:shifty:
Nice...:lol:

Or, Armus, you could run a tourney each with those formats; politely ask that no-one join the gig but, say, me; and we'll get you those achievements with 2 or 4 games. 8) I'd perhaps even do that for you. Probably, others would, as well. :P

I know this might have been a joke, but there are problems with this. You can't run X-list or Revised tournaments any more, as you can't flag them in the system as such. They also need to be sanctioned, so you need at least 3 people to play, if you could schedule them in the system.

The part that may have implied that I might think it a realistic idea was probably a joke. I might have wanted to help out, given time, though. But not with 3 rounds! :lol:

Your avatar, with the... sportman (or actor? Or both?)... is that Captain Obvious? :lol:

I had 18 dilemmas in my seed deck. All of them DS9. Then I noticed: no achievement. I spend time finding out which one breaks the achievement. Put in other version. Should I then not report it and let other Ach-hunters fend for themselves? :shifty:
Or do I report it, and let you have your opportunity at a free comment, to boot? :P

It's Hulk Hogan (of 1980s American Wrestling fame) with @Armus' face photoshopped onto him.

Keep up the great work! :thumbsup:
Thanks for the heads-up! I'm sure Markus will take a look when he has a moment. I've made a note of it.

Not just my face. Check out that right hand!

@prylardurden does great work.
