I think a lot of the achievements especially in blunder being steam only hurts the IOS players especially with the task board missions. it would be nice to be able to get them done.

It hurts a lot of players. There shouldn't be exclusives, aside from hotkeys due to the hardware limitations.

100% agree. There should be at least a way to sign in to your iOS account onto steam or a migrate to Steam and login on the ios with steam profile so they sync.

I agree, i dont see why would certain achievements be steam only

Me and my bf noticed the steam only achievements recently (we're new players) but playing on android and when we signed in on steam, we got a few achievements done which was nice. But later that evening when we went back to playing on phones we noticed multiple bugs happening. Character being at tasks they weren't previously and even talent resets/talent revokes/missing points etc.

We're very reluctant to log back into steam incase the same happens again.

So I completely agree there shouldn't be steam exclusive achievements, I'd rather just play on phones only with the same unlock opportunties.
Especially if bugs are going to happen!

That's desyncs, they're normal bugs happening when switching devices

(Works most of the time)
If you like to play with multiple devices on the same account, try going to the player select screen before closing the game to prevent desyncs!
(Note: Presets will always desync upon switching devices or logging out)

Fingers crossed that this update coming out next fixes it

#

Sounds like it might

Steam achievements exist to encourage people to play on steam

Your logic doesn’t make sense

It does when looking back at the game history. Game released on android first. released on steam about 6months later and as an incecitive to play on steam the achivement where added. Game released on iOS with an event last august.

It doesn't when you realize the game has always been cross platform- it released on it's own website on PC at the same time as on Android. The main reason to release on Steam was to draw in a wider audience, since it was already available on PC.

#

And speaking as an exclusively PC player? I never play on Steam, because I have no reason to deal with the desync issues just for a slightly different looking game window.

But you just said it your self, the steam release is to draw a bigger audience. To better do that is the reason behind the steam only achievement.

Except Steam only achievements don't draw new people to play, they only force existing players onto Steam when they don't want to be.

they still regardless count as new player on steam which is a statistic lava see

Yeah but locking rng items behind a steam exclusive achievement is pretty nuts.
I play on android and cant afford a computer to play on steam.
I am fine with some exclusives but then make "android exclusive" or "ios exclusive" too and just put in some gems or candies but nothing that keeps us away from getting stuff like rng items or else.
Same story with "crossover" event. Played idle skilling for months until i noticed "event is steam exclusive", nuts.
This game is real fun and i like playing it, but this add a big fat "BUT" into my description of this game if someone asks me about it.

Being not able to actually play 100% of the game cuz of laggs etc, fine. But no extra wall i need to climb without being able to please....

the crossover event was specifically to encourage people to play IS on steam because of the steam release though

Well now us iOS users can sign in on steam
….
You have to first be on steam and sign into iOS …
….
It seems you can sign into steam on iOS -.- so it’s still halfway there

I logged into steam and got only half the achievements and nothing dropped on the ground as an iOS user

#

The other half that didn’t come over are included as “complete achievements “

Yeah half don't unlock right, the guild gp for instance, I had more then what was needed and won't get it without leaving my guild, steam having permanent buffs from the achievements as well makes it even worse

Lava makes it so certain items don't count in slab and looty. As said in a similar suggestion, Steam achievements shouldn't count towards giving buffs, it's just punishing people for not having the ability to log in on Steam

I think it should give you the Achievement, just don't give the reward on the steam only ones. That way it'll work both ways, you've done the tasks and it still shows up for the 'Achievement hunter'

With w5 gaming having super bits that increase based on unlocked achievements, the steam exclusive ones are very much hurting players now. Especially for the achievements that don't sync up and unlock if gotten in phone first.

@pale garden this is an issue.
