Hi everyone,
I've been playing around on Forge for the past year or so, but I just made an account.
I enjoy doing the achievements, and have most of them. However, I've noticed some problems with some of the achievements. I'm on the macOS v1.6.34 (on a computer running macOS Sierra), though I've had the same problems on each of the past several versions.
Alternate Win Conditions:
- The Big Time: (Win a game with Chance for Glory) While the card works, no matter what I do, I can't get the achievement. I've tried winning during the first turn, losing during the first turn, winning during the extra turn, and losing to the trigger. I've tried using Platinum Angel to survive the trigger, I've tried using Hive Mind to make the opponent use it and lose, etc. Nothing works.
- The Absence of Life Force: (Win a game with Lich's Mastery) Same deal as with Chance for Glory; the card works as intended, but nothing works to get the achievement. I've tried winning with the trigger on the stack, tried using Platinum Angel, etc. Nothing works
- The Flurry of Assassins: (Win a game with Vraska, Golgari Queen) Unlike the prior two, the intent of the achievement is clear. I've ultimated Vraska and gotten the emblem. When I attack with a creature, I win, but I don't get the achievement.
Planeswalker Ultimates:
- Gideon's Righteous Strike: (Win a game after activating Gideon Blackblade ultimate) I've played Gideon Blackblade, activated both abilities, and won numerous times, but the achievement never activates.
- Vivien's Nature Documentary: (Win a game after activating Vivien, Monsters' Advocate ultimate) Same deal as with the above. I've won games after activating both of her abilities without getting any achievements.
If anyone has any advice on how to get the achievements, I would appreciate it. If these are just bugs, hopefully they can get patched eventually.
Until a recent update, I wasn't able to get the achievement
Garruk's Cursed Overrun (
Garruk, Cursed Huntsman ultimate) either, but then that was fixed, so I'm hopeful.
EDIT: I finally managed to get the achievement with
Lich's Mastery; the achievement requires that the opponent lose while not having other loss conditions. I'd been dealing damage until they sacced it, but because of the other issues (negative life, infect, etc.) they'd been losing from that. When I used
Harmless Offering to give the opponent the Mastery, then did
Cyclonic Rift with overload, they lost from that.
I also managed to get the
Chance for Glory achievement doing something similar– I used
Hive Mind to force the opponent to cast it, but used
Platinum Angel to survive my own death trigger. I'm confident I tried this on previous releases, but maybe something changed on this update? Regardless, if anyone else is having difficulty doing it, they can try this method.
EDIT2: It seems that Vivien and Gideon were missing a clause in their cardsfolder code, which, when added, results in the achievements being achievable. Still no luck on the Alternate Win achievement with Vraska.
