I've been noting this suggestion thread title in passing a lot and finally got bored enough to read it. Was a bit surprised to see mostly support, honestly, given that the two things I have been paying attention to (dragon restore achievements and breed dragon pursuits) have gotten a lot of people flak for objecting because "Well, you don't need to do all of them", so I expected this thread to be primarily more of the same.
I'm conflicted on how I feel about it. Personally I haven't even reached the 400k mark yet, but that doesn't make me want it removed - the opposite, I want to keep trying for it.
It absolutely sucks that some people have internet, device, or personal disability issues that keep them from even getting close, but it's not possible to make everything universally accessible to all life circumstances - a game based around quick reaction times and a stressful timer is never going to work in some cases, but that doesn't mean such games shouldn't exist.
I particularly don't get the posters saying it shouldn't be an achievement because the amount of treasure you get for high SS scores isn't worth it. If economic sensibility were the measure, there shouldn't be fairground achievements for anything besides G&G, and strike off a lot of other ones too (those Swipp ore trades burn I tell you). Sure, I'd like to see payouts balanced someday, but the other games still deserve achievements in the meantime.
Or that it's not fair because you can lose if you get distracted for a second - SS has a pause button, unlike Artifracture. In that, I think it's much more 'take a break to go deal with RL, or rest your eyes and wrists'-friendly.
(I do like the 'save your progress if you get disconnected' idea that was brought up, though.)
Not getting involved in the suggestion thread because 1) I don't want to get jumped on and 2) I wouldn't actually mind if it got removed or changed. Just bemused by what I'm reading and curious how others here feel. (Also, if anyone has any tips/tricks/guides, I'd love to read them. Is there a most optimized level?)
Thoughts on Shock Switch achievement?
