Yep, simply getting CoC was a PITA.Man... GMG's website the last few days does nothing but run like shit... Their 15 minute reservation is going to be the end of them since people cannot get checked out in time.
A word of caution, a few users in playfire's forums have figured that since playfire recognizes your chieves in waves, that if they don't decide to check yours before the timer runs out on available chieves, you won't "earn" them. If that is the case, it might explain why I never received my moneys from Blackgate.Anyone wanna infect me the Viral achievement for Gun Monkeys? Pretty sure I can grab that one and the jetpack one before the end of the day...
Yeah, I've noticed this. I thought it was support ticket-worthy though, not something Playfire/GMG deliberately avoided...A word of caution, a few users in playfire's forums have figured that since playfire recognizes your chieves in waves, that if they don't decide to check yours before the timer runs out on available chieves, you won't "earn" them.

I only mention this because I don't think anyone should be subjected to Gunmonkeys.
I wonder why they can't include rewards like "expire_time > last_check_time" instead of "expire_time > current_time".A word of caution, a few users in playfire's forums have figured that since playfire recognizes your chieves in waves, that if they don't decide to check yours before the timer runs out on available chieves, you won't "earn" them.

YesHas Playfire/GMG commented on whether or not they would honour it as long as the timestamp is prior to the counter running out?
...
Yea, I was just about to post this. Playfire tracks achievements periodically, once or twice a day per account, not instantaneously. So even if you get the achievement within the reward period, Playfire records the achievement at the time they track your account, which may be AFTER the reward period, so you don't get that credit. Much more of a problem when trying to earn it on the last day, so give yourself a day buffer so they can track it properly.A word of caution, a few users in playfire's forums have figured that since playfire recognizes your chieves in waves, that if they don't decide to check yours before the timer runs out on available chieves, you won't "earn" them.

What the is the point of a timer then. .Yea, I was just about to post this. Playfire tracks achievements periodically, once or twice a day per account, not instantaneously.

I had this problem when playing Batman: AC on the last day, and didn't get credit for some achievements that Playfire tracked 5 hours after the period ended, but at least it was a fun game. Gunmonkeys, not so much.

Well, after only a short time using the reward system, I've come to the conclusion that I'm just going to try to get the "Start _____ game" rewards, and not go insane trying to get achievements. It's not worth the time investment, considering the small amount of time I have to play.What the is the point of a timer then. .
I've been noticing this for a WHILE now, and I would send GMG/Playfire a support ticket regarding this but they would never directly answer the question and just credit me for my missings instead.
As I've mentioned before, I would do a reward and it would show up 1-2 days later, or just never. So I've taken a habit to starting on the achievements early but even that doesn't always work.
A while ago, Mindriot, Honeybaked Ham & I did the Monaco "play it again Sam" achievement together and they both got their reward and I never got mine. So.. what the hell GMG/Playfire.
Well the latter is because a lot of websites use OpenSSL, from what I read.Well, after only a short time using the reward system, I've come to the conclusion that I'm just going to try to get the "Start _____ game" rewards, and not go insane trying to get achievements.

There's also a paranoid part of me that wants to unlink my Steam account in case Playfire has any security issues. I've already gotten enough emails from various sites saying their security's been compromised, and that I should change my password
Send me a pm with your playfire account username and password, and do the same for your Steam account and I can verify whether or not it's at risk to be compromised or not.Well, after only a short time using the reward system, I've come to the conclusion that I'm just going to try to get the "Start _____ game" rewards, and not go insane trying to get achievements.

No. First time however gives because they don't know when it was actually achieved (Steam API doesn't give unlock time).Has Playfire ever said whether you're supposed to get credit for achievements you already did before they announced which ones get credit? When I first signed up, I got credit for 3 achievements I had done a long time ago, but since then I haven't gotten credit most of the time if I had already done the achievement.
It happened for me in the beginning, but hadn't worked several times since. I just use SAM to reset any achievements I've already earned, and I usually receive them.Has Playfire ever said whether you're supposed to get credit for achievements you already did before they announced which ones get credit?

This sounds like an outstanding way to provide proof to PF you're using SAM...I just use SAM to reset any achievements I've already earned, and I usually receive them.
Those achievements reset themselves, officer.This sounds like an outstanding way to provide proof to PF you're using SAM
About what I expected, but it was worth a shot. Rep didn't even acknowledge the site problems though, so I'm a little disappointed by the cookie-cutter response. I may as well have asked him to give me special discounts on every game ever with that kind of answer.Hi Bobby,
Unfortunately we can't offer these promotions on an individual basis once they have ended.

Hi Matt,

That's what we told Bobby, but just because we don't like him. Since you asked, you can have a special discount on every game ever, whenever you want.

Because GMG site is still recovering from shitting itself this weekend.Why are day 7 deals the same as day 6?
Day 7 deals are EU only (Ubisoft).Why are day 7 deals the same as day 6?
That's a bunch of BS. Anyway to access them? Would I have to use a European VPN?Day 7 deals are EU only (Ubisoft).
what's wrong with shitting yourself? easiest way to continue playing games when ya gotta go, assuming you don't want to pay for a nvidia shieldBecause GMG site is still recovering from shitting itself this weekend.
AHEM!...And thanks to Waggles for the heads-up on the easy hole-in-one, worked like a charm yesterday.
Don't ask me if this actually happened to me about 10 years ago while playing Turok 2 for the N64.what's wrong with shitting yourself? easiest way to continue playing games when ya gotta go, assuming you don't want to pay for a nvidia shield
That's very ironic since you were 'playing number 2'Don't ask me if this actually happened to me about 10 years ago while playing Turok 2 for the N64.

This is my approach, except in the case of Gun Monkeys because I know I'll never get money back for it ever again. You enjoyed Pinball? Blast was okay, but I hated Pinball.My approach has been getting the first play one, playing the game a bit to see how much I might like it, and then checking the achievos to see how hard they are. Most games I don't bother because of lack of time/skill. I did find myself enjoying Worms Crazy Golf, Blast, and Reloaded enough to go back to those. The rest of the worms games I could do without. The first one is basically unplayable because it just stutters the entire time for me.
Quit whinning and use a McDonalds in Hamburg.That's a bunch of BS. Anyway to access them? Would I have to use a European VPN?
it's fairly enjoyable. I played a bit on 360 awhile back and just recently picked it up on PC again. PC version probably ironed out some of the bugs.Does anyone have any opinions on State of Decay? Is it worth it? I have seen some gameplay videos and looks amazingly fun but it also looks very buggy and laggy.
That sounds good to hear I think I'm gonna go ahead and get it,thanks for the replyit's fairly enjoyable. I played a bit on 360 awhile back and just recently picked it up on PC again. PC version probably ironed out some of the bugs.

I agree. I started it up last night to get that achievement, and ended up playing it for about 90 minutes. It's got an easy-casual Angry Birds feel to it.So yeah, if you have Worms Golf, give it a shot. It's much better than the other 2 games (Worms Blast, Worms Pinball), and the first two achievement rewards will only take you 10 minutes tops.
And thanks to Waggles MindRiot for the heads-up on the easy hole-in-one, worked like a charm yesterday.
Britannia (World 1): Course Four. Just keep trying, here's a video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGmwFE4a7LEI agree. I started it up last night to get that achievement, and ended up playing it for about 90 minutes. It's got an easy-casual Angry Birds feel to it.
Where's the easy hole-in-one on Worms Golf?
