Loading ...Achievements; Honest Vs. Farmed.
Big_Adam
Last Thursday the new Pyro stuff came out for Team Fortress two along with some tweaks and some new flashy bit and what have you.
With new items come the constant of achievement to unlock the new stuff. Which normally results in allot of running about going; “one more kill with the axe and I get my ach …. F**KER SHOT ME!” or a similar sort of thing.
This is why I farm achievement now. Yes it’s a horrible dirty thing but still I wanted the new stuff and I really hate attempting to get achievements. Although allot of the ones with the pyro update you could get over time. Roast 50 heavy’s, destroy X number of Y. It was all stuff you could get over time. I chose to farm it for time and just wanting stuff.
If you never farmed achievements before it’s a horrible soul crushing thing to do. Even worse on an achievement server as you have on ass with a mic playing crap rap music and killing people. So now I use bots which is just as bad.
I farmed my stuff. Went online. Got slated for farming and went about my day.
As there are still a fair too many pyros about I decided to stick with medic and engi for the time being. I got all but one medic achievement and was working towards it (the kill/assist in killing 10 nemesis) so hoped onto the O.C. server and played away.
Mid-way though Pl_GoldRush something happened? I got my last medic achievement. I was bloody ecstatic with glee. I whooped and shouted down my mic and equipped my Uber-Bonesaw.
You know, I really wish I didn’t farm all my pyro ones now. I’ve screwed my scores right over and people really rag on you if you do get via farming. Then again, if I didn’t farm I would play JUST to get the achievement so it’s pretty much the same thing but more annoying.
So, in future I’ll do a bit of a mix. Some farming, some proper play. Some things though I can never see how you would get them UNLESS you farm them. The medic ones like healing 10,000 in one life I could never get near. The pyro ones are allot more softcore in comparison though.
Anyway, that’s about it. Bit rambly and point but sod it.
On the contrary keep up the TF2 comments, I changed my mind and decided to give it a go because I’d paid for it anyway, and it’s a really good laugh - and I haven’t done the medic unlocks yet.
Adam, you disgust me
