FAQ: new achievements & XP system

Are there any limitations to get TOP-1 award?

As far as I know, your ELO need to be higher than 300 to get TOP-X awards. Any additional one is needed?

I have checked the list of all players who played recently and ever got the TOP-1 award, my current ELO is higher than any of them, but I am still TOP-2. And yes, I have also played a few rating games to make sure it is updated.
Should I score higher than any of them ever scored disregard their rating is not actual now?

You can check your ranking by going to the game page and switching from "current season" rankings to "all time" rankings.

In Noir, for example, you are second all time.

Maybe he took first place when the older 1st place dropped from some elo, so no marked as getting first place, you need to be 1st place whit a win i think.

Thank you. I did not know about that "all time" option.
In the particular case in Noir, one on the 1st place had the account deleted, that's why I could not see one's ELO score.
I suggest not counting deleted accounts in the rating.

yeah, that could be a good idea, suggest it in the bug report by doing this:
New report, follow by "Main site (not in a specific game)" option, then "suggestion" option. So, people could upvote it.

Hi WiAiC,

Commander in Chief is given for 10000 victories, but the description was wrong.
Multitasker etc. are, as you supposed, for games played in parallel.
In general, achievements are being worked on at the moment. Some weren't distributed retroactively.

Does in parallel mean having like 10/30/100 tabs/browser windows opened?

Turn based games.
You need to have been in that many at once after April 30th.

Hi, I didn't receive the "Multitasking Monkey" neither the "Insane multitasker". First I played 30 simultaneous turn-based games, then I reached and surpassed 100, all of this last month. Is there any bug or this achievement is disabled?? Do I need to report it like a bug?

At the moment, for example, I'm playing 41 turn-based games. Does it need to be a single "type" of game, like "7 Wonders"?

Suggestion :

What about creating aditionnal trophies for all time highest ELOs in every game?

Seems unfair to me that getting the first place in a game with lets say a 700ELO gives sames points as reaching 1st in the same game at 800 ELO at another period which is more competitive.
Another kind of trophies would be a reward for the best players of all time.

A ranking with top 10 or top 20 of highest ELO ever reached in a game in addition to the current ranking would be cool I think. It is also a way to keep a track of the history of the game.

What do you think?

(the old times elo (2xxx) converted into new ones should not be counted as the conversion gives very generous scores and some top scores are impossible to reach again)

I just got Top 10 ELO and, a few minutes later, Top 5 ELO in Potion Explosion. I got Notifications for both achievements, but they have not appeared on my homepage's news feed or on my friends' homepage news feeds. A similar thing happened a month or two ago where I got Top 1 ELO in For Sale -- it appeared on no friends' news feeds, so no friends knew I had achieved it. Yet messages like "Friend X played Game Y for the first time" do appear in the news feed, as does 1000 Victories. Why aren't these ELO achievements appearing in the news feed? They seem pretty significant to omit.

Same issue for me this week, it appears that the Multitasking/simultaneous games achievements are disabled... Which seems like a bad idea. Other than the 1 time events (Dragon Eggs, Treasure chests, etc.) it should not be possible for some folks to have an achievement that is now impossible to gain even if we've met the requirements... [EDIT: and I upvoted your bug, thank you!]

Also, why do some awards show "Latest Winners" but others, do not?

see:
Expedition: Northwest Passage: Top 5 ELO https://boardgamearena.com/award?game=41&award=30
shows 20 winners dating back to 2019
-vs-
Marathon Runner https://boardgamearena.com/award?award=47
which I just achieved this week so expected to be in the list

I like the new system

Random comment though: perhaps on the summary page only best achievement in each category should be displayed? As it is, multiple achievements in one category relegate other categories out (example: if I have achieved "played 500 games", then displaying "played 100 games" besides that is kind of redundant... and I might have other achievements that don't display because there's no room for them).

that's a great idea
