8 Apr 2021 18:26		"if it's boring, then don't play it?" is absolutely the WORST excuse you can give, enven WORSE from a developer. It goes completely AGAINST the whole idea of Retro Achievements. The challanges are suppose to instigate the player to try, to get better
8 Apr 2021 18:26		Raison d'etre, Entropy Distilled and Open Hose are good additions to main set, but lvl limits damegeless, deathless, saveless are becaming a fast growing cancer in this comunity. Some games wasn't made to be played like that, so ITS A BONUS CHALLANGE
8 Apr 2021 18:27		and yes, the pokemon games became a freaking joke.
8 Apr 2021 19:09		If theres no challenge, Where's the achievement? Bonus sets should be absurd, that's why they're bonuses. If you've played the game for a few hours, it's pretty obvious how easily all these achievements can be completed.
8 Apr 2021 19:12		Instead of complaining about a set, why not attempt it first?
8 Apr 2021 19:52		They ruined this set big time lol Why are top 20 players allowed to make cheevos?
8 Apr 2021 21:05		did you born knowing how to play every game? The challange many times are in learn the game, enjoy everything the game have to offer. If you played it a thousand times, doesn't mean everyone wants to do the same.
8 Apr 2021 21:19		1)Leviathan, if you want to make cheevos read the document about it2)Danibodom, you say thann the challenge is in learn how to play, after learn you have to challenge for see how much do you learn and the new cheevos do that
9 Apr 2021 1:17		Sites ruined, time start GBAXCheevos
9 Apr 2021 1:18		Infernoxx, are you crazy?
9 Apr 2021 1:22		Why are people who talk out of their ass allowed to make wall comments?
9 Apr 2021 2:15		"...Why are top 20 players allowed to make cheevos?" I love this comment considering the person that made the revision isn't even in the top 5000.
9 Apr 2021 16:23		Set arruined, tks!
10 Apr 2021 20:07		Maximdraco I understand your point of view and I agree to a certein degree. One thing is finish the game in hard with no NG+. another is farm for a soul, hoping not to be overlevel, so you have to reset and try again.
13 Apr 2021 5:18		@danibodom E por essas e outras que eu digo que jogador tem que se foder... Chega a ser vergonhoso o cara ter platina pra carai no site e chorar feito um mane desse jeito so porque nao e capaz de platinar um set. Ao inves de reclamar, so NAO pegar o set!
13 Apr 2021 5:37		Besides, asking for moving these 17 achievements means "killing" Infernox work since Bonus Sets are pretty neglected (underplayed). So, ask for moving ONLY if they don't really fit on main set and if they aren't a part of the game (native game challenge)
13 Apr 2021 5:48		"RA should influence players and NOT vice versa". If you think this is insanely hard, instead of whining like a loser, try to understand developer's side while defending your point wisely and giving enough reasons why changes (or nerfs) are needed to be made!
13 Apr 2021 5:59		@danibodom Outra coisa, pare de ficar dizendo de Set Bonus pra qualquer merda! Se uma conquista criada por terceiros for possivel de ser feita mesmo sendo dificil, entao e aceitavel. Aqui, nos nao criamos conquistas passando a mao na cabeca do jogador. Aqui nos assumimos que ele e fera!
13 Apr 2021 7:27		The challenges themselves are fine and interesting. It's the setup they require that's a pain in the ass. You don't just have to farm specific souls, you have to reload constantly, lest you overlevel for the next boss.
13 Apr 2021 9:53		Level cap for each challenge is generous enough to minimize reloading amount and some challenges are even easier without souls at all (Balore).
