The One Who Hatches All

[haughty isle]

The Open X Eggs achievement currently ends at 4,000 eggs, which many active players are already reaching. With seasonal events, players are opening more eggs than ever, and there’s less to work toward. Adding another tier would give players a new long-term goal and keep progression feeling rewarding, with the option to add a seasonal upgrade if seasonal eggs don’t already count.

There should definitely be a "Open 10'000 Eggs" achievement, also linked to the steam achievements. Also - opened eggs in seasons dont count to total opened? Do they?

i can check as soon as i see a firefly

I don’t think they do. But similar to the seasonal upgrade that allows pet tints to progress during seasons, there could be an upgrade (probably just one seasonal point, honestly) that lets egg openings count toward achievements.

nope

1. Open 100k eggs
2. Play online 10k hours
3. Open 100k scrolls
   Anything else crazy?

[haughty isle]

i don't think 10k hours for an idle game counts as "crazy"

as a matter of fact...
i know of some players who are beyond that

i think even 10k eggs / scrolls is less crazy than 10k hours

might even be equally crazy if it were 100k hours and 10k eggs / scrolls

but this just makes things less and less inviting for new players to hop into. idle and incremental games are known to attract completionists. if you keep building on achievement chains just because the longtime players are able to get the next milestone soon, that will reduce the chance of new completionist players hopping into the game over time. youre putting the flagpole further away and have more players that think "well this isnt worth it going into now".
