yeah i got a few achievements in zuma revenge and the punch card is still acting up

recyclops · 03-12-2020 6:38pm

Update the holiday card only updated with ea games when I played an xbox one game not a 360

Got two Easy ones in Rory mc ilroy golf

theteal · 03-12-2020 11:44pm

Lads, Peggle 2 is easy for 2 EA achievements. The game is a small download too. Little bubble bubble type puzzle game, I got the 2nd achievement at the start of the 4th round, all in less than 10 mins

marcbrophy · 05-12-2020 4:40am

There's a 1,000 points punch card for Fifa 21 on X|S.
You need to get an achievement, but I just went into Volta football and it popped an achievement on the xbox one version.
So if you go that before, will be a handy pop.
Another easy achievement is play a women's match. Pick a custom match, select a women's team for and against. Pick 1 goal wins. Centre and pass it back to your keeper. Score an OG, the game will end and the achievement will pop

Remember Fifa Street?
It's that, but now included with regular Fifa

CatInABox · 05-12-2020 2:14pm

The only reason I know about Volta at all is the hilarious viral giant goalkeeper bug that EA decided to not fix.

Do you get the freeplays with EA play with gamepass and do acheivements appear?

Ya some games on EA have free play (with Gamepass Ultimate ).

So I tried Volta for a few games , then Women's, got the achievement alright, but it wouldn't punch in for the 1000

(I have an Xbox one S).

Played about 6 games on Peggle 2 and got 4 achievements for EA quest.

Nearly at 40,000 points now. Think I'll keep going.

theteal · 07-12-2020 11:35am

Yeah I chanced my arm at the Fifa 1000 but no dice on the One X

There's a Rocket League punch card for 2500.
You've to spend a minimum of €9.10 on credits, but season 2 started today and if you had planned on buying in on the premium tier, then you may as well get reward points too

Sorry yeah, didnt realise it was a geo thing on that one. Nah I'm not risking any messing around. I'm on course to hopefully save £100 off the price of a series x purchase planned for march/april, in too deep to fcuk it up now

How many points for a £ conversion teal?

It's costing 23,250 for €25 on the IE side!

29,250 for £25, that's with some level 2 discount applied too - I wouldn't be surprised if that was only good for first redemption and it goes up to full "price" (31,000) after

Treppen · 11-12-2020 10:20am

Hidden in the "show all" part at the top of the rewards app is treasure hunt 100pts. I hardly ever check there as it's usually just purchase games rewards.

There is a fortnite punch card I would gave skipped as I thought I'd to spend money.

You don't at all, easy 500 points.

Quite possibly the easiest 500 points to date. I didn't even have to install the game, the points were awarded before I cancelled it at <5%

Yup, I did download it, but only took a min or 2 with 1GB broadband.
Didn't need to launch it though

Deleted it straight away

Treppen · 15-12-2020 7:42pm

Weeklys are up now.

Ikenfell - this can be launched on your phone, I just played for a few minutes and it got the 25 points.

Yup, played it for about 15mins in the end, beat some boss and got my daily 50 with it too. It's just an old RPG with turn based combat

sims 4 can be launched on phone too but needs controller to play, its a double pointer as well.

Random question - how do you complete the Sims 4 quest?

I've tried to work it out to see how quickly to achieve it and whether it's worth the effort.
I'm also fairly sure my Google Search history will now look extremely weird to anyone who sees it.

dbloke · 16-12-2020 3:43pm

YouTube channel Rewards Hunter posts guides for all the games Pass quests fairly soon after they are available:

What's the craic with the 2x points on sims and the 4x points on downloading games from mobile achievements. Do you have to do something to activate the multipliers as I don't think I'm getting the bonus points.

No, it's included in the amount given.
The SIMS weekly task would normally be only 50 points, but now it's 100

Reddit Tip for achievements in Sims

If you turn off sim automation in game options, your sim won't automatically use the toilet. Just let time fly (hit RB to speed up time) and you should finish the quest.

Edit: You'll probably get two achievements doing this:

Don't sleep for 24 hours
Don't talk to anyone for 24 hours

marcbrophy · 17-12-2020 11:59am

I used chickenpossible's method of force feeding them cup after cup of high quality coffee

Got the no sleep achievement, but someone called to the house, so didn't get the no talk achievement

theteal · 17-12-2020 3:29pm

Ah I didn't look up the video. I mainly went for the pissy pants points as quick as possible. I just left them standing on the footpath while they continually wet themselves and crashed to the pavement asleep. I didn't uninstall yet so may try for an achievement later.

Treppen · 17-12-2020 10:04pm

Sims:
I felt a bit like a serial killer keeping them trapped in the house stressing them out with drinking water and waking their hands, but didn't get any other achievements even though I got to Thursday without taking to anyone!
Got the pissypants quest though.

BTW... Easy quick achievement which can be done on cloud or console.... Morkredd start game and move into Shadow, you die.. get Achievement.
There's another one for playing 2 player with second controller but haven't tried it yet.

Anyone do Sea of Solitude, I'm stuck trying to jump on a goddam roof from a chimney top.

I just bought a cheap-ass house with no coffee machine so they kept on passing out on the floor :pac:

Not my type of game though

marcbrophy · 22-12-2020 9:43pm

Any else having trouble getting the game ones to pop?
Like Play any Game Pass game or the weekly one that's normally 25 points, where you just have to open the game?
Neither of those will pop for me today!
Tried resetting the machine

marcbrophy · 22-12-2020 10:01pm

I found others with the same issue.
Least I know that it's not something I'm doing wrong

Yeah it seems the day the new quests go up, it gets slammed and starts to fail. I'd wager itll be fine tomorrow.

Treppen · 23-12-2020 1:39am

Seems to be working now.
I did the Destiny 2 quest on xcloud.

Set up a character (choose hair and face etc) and you'll get an achievement, think you have to accept to link it with previous games etc (even though I never played it before).

Not a bad game either. Just lock and load.
Laggy as heck on phone though.

theteal · 23-12-2020 9:41am

Yeah I was gonna take the opportunity to put some time into Destiny. A bloke I work with raves about it so I'll see what the fuss is about.

marcbrophy · 23-12-2020 11:50am

Popped both there as I loaded Destiny 2 on the phone, nice

marcbrophy · 24-12-2020 9:08pm

Nice, just got a 20 week streak (2,500) and the monthly completionist (1,000) pops to put me over 30,500 points

Treppen · 25-12-2020 10:53am

Batman was a bit of fun, I was supposed to just kill a few thugs but wound up doing the campaign. Have a go at the driving for the Riddler's mission, you'll probably fail first time but it's in a loop so just keep trying. I got 3 achievements for about 40 minutes play.
Did it all on phone and was impressed at how little lag there was for such a big open map.

theteal · 01-01-2021 12:23pm

Gamerscore Challenge +?

I think there may be another 10k points up for grabs this month. Also 2k for the punch card!

Weeklys are up.

No man's sky .... Just crank it up on the Android app (doesn't matter if you've a controller connected or not). Easy 100

For monthlies Gears 5 can be done on phone in ten minutes but you'll need a controller. Edit: ya seems like you can't do it on phone ...also... this quest sucks

Seems you'll have a better chance of getting murdered by a serial killer than finding a game of dead by daylight.

Ya it's a chore alright, even if you do team up with friends it's painfully slow. I got one game to join but put on hook after 2 minutes. I think the trick might be to spot the killer and follow him around and keep eyes on him.
