If MINECRAFT Can Do It, Why Can't YOU?

[Master Roshi]

There was just an update on Minecraft that fixed the "locked earned achievement" glitch. The game has been out less than Gears 3 has, isn't nearly as well-funded as Gears 3 is and costs 1/3 the price. Why hasn't Epic fixed it yet?

I still have not earned my "What Does This Button Do?" achievement after having "earned" it FOUR TIMES OVER. There are other people with other achievements that are "glitched" and not unlocking, why hasn't Epic resolved a fix for this yet?

Don't take this the wrong way, I'm not raging (much), I'm genuinely curious as to why MINECRAFT (APIOHADPHG MINECRAFT!?!?!?) can fix this problem, but Epic can't.

I doubt it'll be fixed any time soon. I'm still waiting on my Gears 1 Seriously.

minecraft has less programming to worry about, and it probably had a different reason for its problem. the fix in minecraft couldve been a much easier fix.

have you been reset? that has been known to cause issues in unlocking medals/skins/achievements

if host quits, your kills dont count towards the achievement, but they still count towards your leaderboards. using the leaderboards is not an accurate way to see how many kills you have towards the achievement

How many do you have? Like Kracker Kid said (quoted below), if Host quits, kills you've earned that game don't count for Seriously but count for Leaderboards. I had 26,000 some-odd kills in Execution and over 5,000 in Warzone by the time I got mine.

If I remember correctly, Annex doesn't count for Seriously at all since it was added on late.

Have not ... Yet. I don't dashboard and unplug my e-chord when I get angry at Gears so I shouldn't have to worry. I still do though.

Also, I doubt the overall game programming has much to do with the fact it isn't fixed yet. I'm pretty sure it's Epic putting all their effort into Judgment and forgetting all about the many problems Gears 3 still has. Just sayin'. I've been posting about this problem since a month or so after the Horde Command Pack was released and still no fix. It's been several months.

HOW TO ACCESS LOCKED UNLOCKS AFTER BEING RESET:

After being reset, some unlocks (such as the For The Horde medal) become unavailable, and can no longer be unlocked. GD01 figured out a great way around this problem, so that all locked unlocks will become available again. This method has been tried by several people and seems to be effective at fixing the problem. You can read more about it on this thread if you are unsure. There are two guides available for you to follow. One is written by GD01 and is performed while online. The other is a fleshed out and slightly more descriptive guide written by FredFlintstoned and is performed while offline. I will just post both and you may take your pick. Unfortunately, I will probably be unable to answer questions about these guides as I haven't tried them myself. Feel free to ask questions in the thread I linked to above. NOTE: This method will allow everyone who has been reset to acquire the crimson weapon skins, all 3 of the avatar awards, all of the medals including "for the horde" now and everything else as well. BUT, you will have to re-acquire all of the collectibles in the campaign/arcade mode and you'll also need to complete campaign/arcade on hardcore in order to play it on insane.

GDO1- Online guide:
This one was done still connected online. You can use the other detailed one for offline option. No need to clear the cache only if needed or necessary.

Play 1 private match so that you can update your files as well as the servers. Then head to the Menus and straight to the dashboard.

1) transfer your player data and campaign save to the usb, then log off and transfer your gamertag to the usb.

2) log in on the dashboard and start the game.

3) when you see the shield like symbol with EPIC logo on it remove the usb and ignore the message that pops up. let it run through till the part where it tells you to Press Start w/ the Gears 3 logo

4) Once you hit start go to your stats/awards and scroll through the tabs and go to the collectables and then to the achievements. Both should be empty.

5) From there (at the achievement tab) place the usb back and a message saying that there's a new storage device or device has changed. Press A to continue which should take you back to the title screen where it tells you to Press Start with the Gears 3 logo. Don't press start.

6) Head back to the dashboard and log off. Transfer just your gamertag back to your HDD [the game already placed your player data from the backup in the servers or cache but if you like you can transfer the one from the usb or keep it as a back up]

7) remove your usb and log back in and start the game. Check back to your stats/awards and you should see your collectables empty and you campaign progress is gone like you haven't even touched it.

You will still have your achievements under your stata/award [ war journal ]. The progress did reset themselves so you will see the boxes pop up even tho you already got the achievement.

All your mutators, medals, skins, executions, and medals you unlock should be intact. And their progress as well.

Except I didn't get reset. You'd know that if you read the whole thread instead of jumping to conclusions.

You didn't say that you hadn't been reset my apologies but I'm used to people being reset and the achievements and medals are locked

You should have surmised through context that I hadn't been reset, but meh. I won't hold it against you.

Tell that to my friend who has 75,000 Execution kills. He is perma glitched.

@OP: Epic has fixed some in the past TU's. TU 5 is not ready yet.

he said it in the post where he quoted me

are you sure he played through all those games? i knew a few people like that, but they admited to being rage quiters. rage quitting will not count the total towards the achievement

[GearsPro23]

My achievement for maxing the horde command center end getting 50 kills with it hasnt unlocked yet and What Does This Button Do hasnt either.Even though Ive done all 3 of them a couple times.I havent been reset either.
