Java Cat achievement

[SanCookie]

Hi there

You might ever have played team Lucky Islands and spotted this (probably empty) achievement:

I would like to call it one of the hardest achievements on Cubecraft.

Why? Because it's literally impossible to get every (all 3) types of cat in one single game.
You don't want to know the time I've spent opening 100's of Lucky Blocks, just to get the 80 experience.

So, what am I suggesting? (Poll choises)

1) Change the reward
Alot of people tell me that they don't have this achievement, I try to get it everyday, without success.
The ones that do have it (I only know 2 people who have this one), celebrated it alot.
That's why I am suggesting to change the reward from 80 experience to 1 cubelet, 80 experience.

2) Change the quest to get it
Could be changed to:
"Get every type of cat in a game of team luckyislands with your whole team" (so everyone can participate in this achievement)
Or other examples.

3) When people DO get cats, make them automatically a different type
I've had this:

6 pets, 3 cats, 3 dogs
They are all mine, I'm sure of that, but I got 2 black cats, so no achievement for me.

4) Other
Suggest what u want with a reply.

5) None
Keep it the way it is right now.

Some facts about this:
-I opened 2468 Lucky Blocks ONLY for this achievement.
-I killed the ender dragon alone (and got the achievement for that), while trying to get the cat achievement.
-A 'quote' from @LibeTy :

He's talking about wins, 10.000 wins was easier to get than this achievement.


Not convinced yet? Try it yourself! Make sure to start with the Tamer kit (1 dog, 1 cat, 1 Frosty)

I'm undoubtedly a crazy person and I also like cats, so I should probably try to get this achievement.

Also, this is just my opinion, but I feel like Lucky Islands is the perfect mini-game to have difficult chance based achievements like this one, because it'll simply feel great once you manage to accomplish it and you know you'll be one of few who have done it.

I'd say simply up the reward to something like 2500 exp and 5 cubelets.

I agree with all three. I've tried to get this achievement too but it's almost impossible for me. I can't even kill one cat, at least not if he's from someone else. Only 80 experience is almost nothing while the achievement is really difficult. I really want this to change.

 

[Priley]

Even giving player one cubelet isn't enough seeing as the achievement is incredibly hard to get

In my opinion, the reward should be improved to something like 4 cubelets and the rest should stay as it is

 

[Jevmen]

In all my life i dont see the white cat.

>1
>3

The reward is to low.
And the probability of open 3 lucky blocks and take 3 cat reward and the cats are diferent, are a low provability

So you both agree to changing the price to something higer, also I was just suggesting a random reward, but 5 cubelets seems a littlr bit too high for me, especially with the 2500 xp, I agree with 4 cubelets, and maybe 300 xp or something.

yeah, I want this all to change too, it’s literally impossible

In all my life i dont see the white cat.

Yeah it’s way too hard for a way too low price, also I had the white cat yesterday, but my teammate didnt like his color or something and killed it

Same with my dog :V
Idk why people love kill your pets (except snoeman cuz you kill them)

 

[Miauw]

Yeah, now that I think of it, the achievement shouldn't give you a ton of experience, since it's luck based and all.

Perhaps something like 5 Cubelets and 250 experience?

 

[GalacticAC]

I got this by getting 4 cats in a row :3
We definitely should give more prizes for this , a few cubelets won't hurt.

 

[TryTimba]

Sounds like a tough achievement to get. But when you mean the whole team participates, do you mean every signle member has to get three (different) cats or just one and they all get the prize. Idk if I explained my question very well because I confused myself...
Ex:
Player1- 2 cats (both different)
Player2- 1 cat (different from the teammates)

Would that make the team get the achievement? Because that would probably make it a whole lot easier.

Yeah, he meant that if in your whole team there are at least 3 of the different types found, you'd get the achievement.

So, if player 1 has cat type A and player 3 has cat type B and C, the whole team would get the achievement.

I for real only logged in to post in this thread so @SanCookie, like my post pls.

Anyway, I do agree with nerfing this, getting 1 type of every cat in 1 game is really hard. I also don't like that Team mode achievements in general are based on what you can do by yourself.

In pretty much every game all team achivements are like: place x amount of blocks, kill 10 players in one game, win 10,000 games, kill 3 players with TnT, kill 20 animals in one game.

In my opinion, the achievements for playing team should be more based on what you do as a team, because you don't really have a reason to play with anyone. You can just get almost every achievement by yourself with some luck. This might sound silly but I think the community would actually get closer if there were "forced" to play with each other more to get achievements and I also think that it would be more fun to have goals together with others.

As people mentioned above, to count your team mates cats would be much easier and it would bring the team together and stop some people from trolling and killing all the cats.(!!!!!!)

And 3 cubelets + 100 xp, since you actually get some really bad rewards for other achievements too.

I think this (quote below) would be the best price, because it’s 3 cats, so 3 cubelets would make sense

You’re one of the luckiest people alive, a well deserved 80 experience is what you got : )

Yep, what Miauw explained was exactly what I meant!

That’s actually true, nice thinking work! Thats why I like the ones where “ur whole team has to wear gold armor” much more than the “10 kills in one game” one!

And yes, team trolling is a way too big issue on Lucky Islands, but it doesn’t get fixed for some reason

Oh okay cool, thanks for helping me understand. I do like that idea best then. Seems like an easier way of getting the achievement.

The best solution is obviously the first
It is a challenge and should be treated as so which also warrants a higher reward

 

[SanCookie]

AN IMPORTANT UPDATE ON THIS THREAD

I got the cat achievement, but didn't get 3 cats at the same time. Which wasn't necessary apparently.
Here's the proof that I got it:

Got my 80 deserved Experience.

It took me 200 lucky blocks in one game, starting with the taimer kit to get all 3 of them!

True, but it's still kind of hard (didn't see your reply anymore)

 

[Quetzi]

If achievements were easy to do then they wouldn't be much of an achievement, it's nice to have some rare ones from time to time.

If you think it's difficult now, just wait until they add another half dozen cat skins xD

Yeah but the reward is only 80 xp..

My point was more like what SP00N said, a hard achievement with only 80 experience doesn't encourage alot of players to get it (except me because it was my last one)

 

[Quetzi]

Achievements in general is one of those areas that needs a little TLC. It's on the agenda but I can't say how soon we'll be able to get to it, there are a number of other things taking priority right now.
