Alphabet Bingo Discussion

Nave Sutlef said:Pangeon is pretty cheap and quick

Leap Of Faith77 said:Yes but I'll pass the ratio by the time I get the achievement. This event is a fun idea but a little too much of a headache for me if I'm being honest.

Nave Sutlef said:Doesn't look like? You'd only pop G and K playing that whole game.

If you dont like the ratio stuff, can just play your normal stuff, by the end of the month you'll have accidentally done 85% of the board anyway then you can mop up before the event closes.

Leap Of Faith77 said:I completely forgot that only the letters that count on the board count for the ratio. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Maybe I’ll do that then. I need G anyway for another bingo.

Nave Sutlef said:I nearly finished 1 complete board just by playing normally without even know what letters I need, (I forgot the event started tbh 😅) so its really easy to get at least one bingo, if you play what you want.

OniDestiny said:Oh I’ve already got like 2-3 just by playing as you said. In events like this I like to fully clear a board but since I’m working on my backlog it’s a pain. Not an actual complaint just bad timing for me personally.

If you wonder how it is on the 4th or 5th full grid, I only have three Q-achievements left, and all of them are very difficult or long to get. There are still possibilities in the unstarted games, but at least the Q:s need to be eventually skipped. And it will soon take +10 hours of grinding to get even a single bingo unlocked. At 6 or 7 ratio, even the game pass inflation doesn't guarantee any quick unlocks. Maybe a few, but that's it.

Kovy88 said:I have my 4th grid planned out now but once I reach grid 5 I have only 5 open Q achieves left which would all would be from starting new Game Pass games. Most of these are pretty daunting / unappealing. At the start of board 6 that number would be 3 and by board 8 (not that I am sure I would be able to get there even without Q's) exactly 0 ^^

So yeah, I agree with you and Dale Baldwin that skipping Q's seems a very real possibility / necessity for anyone going past 4/5 in the board count.

Trying to give a 3rd Bingo Board another try. But I'm not taking it as seriously as the first 2. Mostly only when I take a couple hours away from Alan Wake 2.

I want to keep doing the event, but i'll just start complaining about the ratio requirements again

BigBanjo K said:Do your Q before that juicy Halo MCC par time achieve gets too low ratio - that's a real nice looking Q right there (at least to me!) ^^

Huaracocha said:The Ratio will probably drop while i wait for the 140GB download

i was thinking



might be able to cheese it without beating the whole game. Seems the simplest option of what i got left

Completed my first board, might try for a second board but I'm down to 2 viable Q achievements, both in Hauntii (I ken there's a Q in Vampire Survivors but I'd have to sacrifice all my Xs to get it) and honestly doubt I'll complete it

BigBanjo K said:Ah I'm such a Halo fanboi it didnt even occur to me you might not have it installed lol

sorry if this has already been asked but if i start a new grid will letters on previous grids still unlock/ unlock before my second grid?

Thanks

BE THOU MAD said:Once you start a new grid/Bingo Board, nothing else will unlock on the previous ones

BigBanjo K said:okay thank you for the reply

I'm glad I double checked the planning for my second grid - I'm clearly not the only one eying Hauntii for those Q's, so some of the achievement ratios have dropped below what I had originally planned them for haha.

After this grid I think I'll focus on getting individual bingos, mostly using the games I've already started. I don't know where anyone finds the time to get so many high ratios, not to mention in different games! I'm also surprised by how quickly I seem to be running out of some letters despite having GPU haha, guess that's the downside of only including games I've wanted to play anyway. I also don't want to waste extremely high ratios if I can help it. Not that I'll ever make it to double digits in this event. 😂

Man, time is flying though. Luckily there's still a few weeks left.

So spent the past several hours trying to beat the Dragon King in Trials of Mana for Glorious One for a G. Early on in the game I noticed my save files had corrupted so thought I could go for it in a single sitting. Got all the way to Dragonsmaw (the penultimate dungeon)...and the game crashed. Luckily the game reverted back to an earlier state so I still have my save files, but now I'm all the way back in Laurent in chapter 2...I can always go back to it later for T though, as I'll get Trials of Mana when I get Glorious One

Thanks so much to TA event team for NOT making this event another shovelware infestation show Now I am really enjoying it, it feels like I finally found a game I could had enjoyed from a handful of others. I believe more and more TAers here would try out new things and enjoy it just like me, please give us more creative ideas

Any idea why the “camos are forever” achievement from call of duty wouldn’t be in my list of achievements when I click C? It has a 2.21 ratio and I need 2.20 or above.
