FAQ: new achievements & XP system

[evereverever]

Do winning streaks reset with draws or take training mode into account?

Ich finde es etwas zu ungenau.
Kann es jemand so Bearbeiten das es genauer ist?

Wenn ja Danke

Do you no longer get achievements in training mode?

Hi Heroic H,

I'm glad you ask because there have been some internal changes on how the amount of victories and played games are calculated.
For victories it is quite easy: A victory is no longer attributed in training mode (as your question suggested) or for alpha games.
As for played games, we now separate the amount of total played games and the "real" games, meaning neither training mode nor alpha games.

So victory based achievements can only be earned in ranked games and for games that are at least in beta.
Achievements for the number of played games are still based on total games played, with the "Sprint" achievements (play x games in 1 day) being an exception. This may change soon however.

Overall, achievements are still being worked on and there are new to come!
I hope this clarifies some of the confusion the changes created

oh, that why i didn't get first win in perudo, since it's was a hotseat (hotseat make always in training)

Is this official yet? It still has this banner on the details pages:

WARNING: Beta version
We are currently improving the achievements/XP system. This page will evolve in the coming weeks. Read more about this

Hi Beverley,

there are still some achievements awaiting implementation. The /achievements page will undergo a small makeover as well.

New view achievements is nice, but now I can't check how many games I or other player played. Sometimes I used it For me it's more important how many games someone played than achievements.
I also think that good idea will be, when you add new option in "limited access to table" like "played more games than..." for egzample 100 or other numbers. Sometimes is more important than elo.

'X' game win streak achievements are not being awarded. I have not received those achievements for several different games now (Santorini, Bobail, Butterfly). I did create a bug report for this, but figured I'd post here too.

There seems to be a bit of confusion about the win streaks. Let me clarify a few points:
1. Win streaks are awarded per game in steps of 2, 3, 5, 10, 20 and 50.
2. In order for a victory to be considered there must be at least 2 players. Solo playthroughs don't count.
3. The same goes for games against an AI or in training mode. They don't count.
4. Ties count as losses even if you tie on first place.
5. You do not lose your win streak for one game if you play i.e. a training match in between them, or try a different game.

I just reached top 20 in Bobail but didn't get a trophy. Any idea why or how to get it? My elo is above 300 so I know that's not the reason. And I played another couple games to see if that would fix it but no luck. Thanks.

Hi JCam,

I'm currently working with BGA so I might shed some light here.

There are thresholds for the top elo achievements.
In order to gain the top 20 achievement for a game there need to be at least 1000 active players.
For the top 10 achievement the number of required players goes down to 300.

I checked for Bobail and there are currently 945 active players, so you could only get the top 10 achievement or invite 55 friends to play it

I don't understand why I had to read 15 pages of this thread to find this information.

Is it so difficult to create an official FAQ or to put everything in the first post of the thread?

****

My current situation:

- Taluva: 410 ELO points, 18 rank, no top 20 achievement.
- The Palaces of Carrara: 395 ELO, 13 rank, no top 20 achievemnt.

Now I know why (there are not enough active players).

Anyway I can't believe that some will use cheats so pathetic as u will never learn that way

Hi Elijah,

I agree that this information is too hard to find. The achievement system was not touched in a while and a lot has been added. If someone wants to write a guide using all the information in here that would help a lot of players.

Hi.
I don't get the sense of the new ordering system BGA uses for showing players achievements.
Games aren't ordered anymore by xp and not by alphabetical or most played.

I think the new system isn't clear but confusing; games with more xp and achievements should be highlighted at the start of the page and the previous system did the job.

Why did you changed it and in which way?
Thanks
