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?)

saw it mentioned in a discord - did they add new censored words? "pill" and "pills" gets blocked out of dragon bios now, but haven't heard about anything else
i too will not jump in just because i don’t want to interact with that particular board, but i do agree with changing the achievement in some way if it needs to be done. although i’m more of a supporter of just fixing the game already- it’s WAY too broken right now for me to even bother trying for that achievement anymore.
regarding you saying “there’s a pause button”, it doesn’t really work. shits broken and tends to make your wall of blocks shoot up several rows after you unpause. losing a good game because of that was really the nail in the coffin for me to leave this shit alone until the game Maybe gets fixed. also, why the hell do the speeds get that fast if it says there’s a limit?
i think my issue is that it removes a lot of the “test of skill” aspect when your game is so buggy. it’s more of a “test of whether or not your round of shock switch is gonna work this time” and that’s why i personally take issue with it. honestly i wish they’d fix their games before putting forward achievements like that, it gives me the sense that they didn’t actually test it. i think it’s only been able to slide by for all theee years because people were mostly ignoring it, and the cheevo is now shining a light on the poor quality of the game.

Just tried it and yeah, pill/pills was entirely censored. Kind of ridiculous tbh.
op
I saw people referencing the pause button thing in the thread too, can't say I've seen it myself yet when I use pause, but I don't doubt you or them that it exists. So yeah, fix that irrespective of anything else. (And on the topic of 'games I was mostly ignoring until achievements', ugh, when are we getting more 'table space' in Jigsaw?

I think it's to block those spam messages about buying pills that you see on the forum sometimes. I'll see if I can find the post confirming the reasoning behind it.

frankly the shock switch and the runestones achievement bother me the most,
a) because the games are both badly coded and tend do randomly just time out and crash (also looking at you coli)
b) are outdated as fuck, you can just tell those 2 games are the oldest ones around, the newer ones like G&G and artifracture run way smoother than those 2 other old jank ass games
those both are not like impossible because people lack the skill and dedication, both games are just so fucking broken and cumbersome that is just not fun to do those
frankly just make the points for both achievements cumulative and be done with it, for those who can do it, can do them in just one play and the other people can just slowly grind away at it in short bursts

This makes it so much worse, what other four letter word is banned, comes after 'hard,' and is frequently talked about being swallowed????"
I'm fucking dying laughing at that being pointed out.

damn spam ruining shit.
Some of my dragons are pharmacists/apothecaries, so now I gotta edit their bios to remove the censors

lmao im just imagining someones poor dragon bio going from a dramatic lore story to something like "and having to watch the death of her charge... the guardian knew it would be a hard COCK to swallow"
haven't verified myself but i heard the pause button is glitched?
the FR server also keeps dropping me in the middle of games. it doesn't do this with coli or anything else. so that's another annoying non skill based impediment to completing the achievement.

I honestly didn't realize anyone was having trouble with that game, beyond maybe the part where games will sometimes lose connection randomly, until all this. I'm having a way harder time getting the 50k Runestones achievement, still haven't managed that one after multiple tries. But I got Shock Switch in one. Set it to an easy mode, use the button that scrolls it up faster so you're not spending most of your time waiting. Worked like a charm for me.
Anybody know why the site is down right now? Firefox is saying something about needing a secure connection. I don't see any dev posts anywhere but it is a holiday morning in America.
google chrome is saying the same also. I was wondering if it was just me or not haha
It's coz security certificate is expired and needs renewing. Unfortunate it happens on a holiday but I could use a few FRless hours tho haha
Same here... How unfortunate. I wanted to hatch 4th of July dragons.
SA. YES! It's working now!! Let's hatch these babies!
