One achievement just disappeared. What was it and why is it gone?

It shows 110 of 109 Cheevos on my Site?

Yeah. It was 110 a week ago, but one is gone now.

The demoted cheevo required the use of a glitch that is not exactly Chris Houlihan worthy. I suspect it will stay demoted for the foreseeable future.

I'd rather talk about cheevos that are active, though.

While there was no issue with the existing code (I cannot help network issues), I did see ways to improve what was done. Joys of working with older sets I guess. The two cheevos are now measured, and delta checks are used to ensure we go from 9 to 10 of each group. The former Reset Ifs were converted to Measured Ifs, and a new Measured If was added for good measure (rimshot) while the demo played.

It's just a quality of life update, really.

OK, so no more achievement for performing an item crash with no sub-weapon.

...I think we're talking two different achievements Deozaan. Item crashes with no sub-weapon, while tricky, does sound like something that's not a glitch. I'll read up.

The cheevo that I was thinking of that was demoted involved turning into a skeleton without the correct cards. That has nothing to do with item crashes to my knowledge. The one you want...I want to say is either Shooting Stars Shooting Stars (10) or Richter is Proud! Richter is Proud! (2), both of which are in core right now.

My first thought based on your description of the demoted cheevo was that Gotcha! Gotcha! (5) was removed. But then I skimmed through the list and saw it was still there. The only other thing I remembered from the set that I assumed was a glitch was Shooting Stars Shooting Stars (10), which I looked for, but didn't see. But I probably missed it because I was looking specifically for "item crash" and not "secret technique" in the description.

But now that I think about it, the two previously mentioned cheevos can be done legitimately (such as in Magician Mode) whereas I do vaguely recall there being an achievement specifically for turning into a skeleton without the correct cards. Thanks for clarifying.
