The Glitched CLOCK WATCHING Achievement...

[Isa]

Hello people!
How about this achievement... Team 17 have any news or it's still glitched...

Anybody knows something about??

Pleaseeee!! I beat all the set times and yet... nothing!!!!!!
I want this points!!! Pleaseee!!

I'm not buying ANY DLC for this game until it's all fixed.

So it is in their interest to give an update.

If it's never fixed then i will remain not playing this game and keep my gamerscore 200g/200g.

[flosta]

I totally agree. Unfortunately, I've already gotten the addon before realizing it was glitched. Apart from this game, I've got 100% achievement completion, so thanks Team 17 :mad:
I really hope they'll patch it, but until then, I won't get any add-ons or future Worms games.
I've sent several emails to "support@team17.com", but only got some standard computer generated answer. Still, the more of us speak up, the more likely we will be successful, so if you really care about this, just send a quick email to their support and let them know of your concern.

[ShadowGeko]

i encountered the same problem and its quite disappointing. i was planning to purchase the other dlc but will have to hold off until this gets fixed.

[Scrubber]

They still haven't fixed this and i STILL haven't played the game ever since. I guess i'll never play this again unless they happen to fix it.

[Star&Moon]

Hey guys, I think you're overreacting. The reason they aren't fixing this is because they're too busy working on Worms Revolution, threatening them won't help at all, and it's not like achievements give you anything anyways.

People don't expect to pay for things that are broken and if they do they expect their money back or the thing fixed.

I've also seen a few people on several forums say they wont buy Worms Revolution because of the lack of support in fixing this bug (not me, i am getting WR on release day) so it was in their best interest not to ignore it.

[Straniero]

Just because they are busy doing Worms Revolutions doesn't save them to leave a product in a broken state.

First of all, I have the game on PS3 and the trophy unlocked fine. The only problem is unlocking more trophies in a row froze my PS3, but no problem I just replayed a challenge and everything pop as excpeted.

STILL, Xbox 360 players are demanding a fix and you, dear Team 17, should really fix this "Clock Watching" achievement in the DLC. People don't expect to pay broken stuff and even if is just one and "useless" achievement (like someone here may argue about), is still part of something you sell full price to your customers.

The DLC was broken since beginning, okay, and people hoped for the Worms Collection to account this. But NO, you just shoved up the broken DLC with the package and you didn't do anything to fix that. Really, Team 17, do you read this forums? Do you say people "yes we are looking on it" or you just pretend nothing has happened?

And also because you did a shobby job on the Xbox 360 version (long loading times, pixelated shadows and least but not the last, broken achievement), atleast give the players their deserved fix and a discount on the DLC. Nuff' said, now do something!

[Katamari]

Still waiting for the fix and a response from Team17 on this matter...

Still waiting for the fix and a response from Team17 on this matter...

I would forget about it if i were you, definitely never getting fixed.

I have forgot about this game and will probably never play it again so i can keep my 200/200gs

I'd like to be able to play it still but i still have 2:Armageddon to play so not the end of the world.

[Straniero]

Forgetting about it? Let's not lose hopes. Why we should forget in the first place? You know that there is a game called Rugby Live League that had the same problem on 360 that PS3 hadn't. One glitched achievement that got fixed after months. Hope Team 17 follows the same stream and proves that it cares about customers.

[MrPanic]

I was kinda hoping that after they released Revolution they would go back and finally give this game the patch it rightfully deserves. Sadly it seems that Rev has its own share of problems so I'm losing my hope for a patch for WUM too.

I would assume that having unobtainable achievements would be in violation with M$ terms, so there might be a little hope left.

[piki1802]

I would give them some time, first they are fixing worms revolution and second they are fixing worms facebook. So they have enough work to do. When they fix Worms Revolution and Worms facebook then we need to expect from them to fix this.

[Katamari]

2 months later and still nothing :(

[piki1802]

2 months later and still nothing :(

2 Months later still fixing Worms Revolution and Worms facebook ( Which is still in Beta) So don't expect anything now you will be dissapointed if so.

[Thurbo]

Dunno, these DLCs only just released for PC. Perhaps they are going to look into the achievement issue on consoles as well.

[TravieB]

I would assume that having unobtainable achievements would be in violation with M$ terms, so there might be a little hope left.

I doubt that, considering all the sports titles that close servers down each year and therefore close out the possibility for 1000G

[Thurbo]

This achievement is bugged for the PC as well, lol.

They said they "are looking into it" though, might take a long while.

[Squirminator2k]

I like to imagine Team17 only have the one computer, so while someone's working on art assets for Worms Revolution there's a line behind him - a code waiting to compile the WA patch for Steam, a designer waiting to work on a new title, the guy they've got porting Alien Breed to the Android, and at the back of the line is Andy Davidson, sighing.

[Katamari]

Just found out that the achievement probably isn't completely glitched. The challenge times in the xbox version are wrong because it says 10 minutes for every challenge there.

Try and beat all the set times across all the challenges.

Clock Watching
Beat the times on all new challenges and the new Deathmatch challenge.

As the trophy description states, you need to not only complete all eight of the new challenges, but you also need to finish them under the required amount of time. All of the previous trophies lead up to this one, so this will be the last trophy in the DLC set that you will obtain.

Due to the nature of Worms, it can be difficult to pinpoint an exact strategy due to the fact that many games can and usually do play out differently each time. Therefore, I have compiled some general tips and advice to help you get through each challenge, rather than one exact strategy.

SNIPER RIFLE CHALLENGE 2
TIME TO BEAT: 3 Minutes
DIFFICULTY: Medium

You have three minutes to hit 40 targets with your sniper rifle, meaning that on average, you need to be hitting a target every 4.5 seconds. Rest assured that this is not as daunting as it sounds, because a lot of the targets are very close together. Remember to make use of your zoom to hit the far away targets, and use the radar to locate them.

JET PACK CHALLENGE 2
TIME TO BEAT: 5 Minutes, 30 Seconds
DIFFICULTY: Hard

The main difficulty and frustration with this challenge lies in the deceiving camera angles that make it look as if your worm is about to collect the crate but actually isn’t anywhere near it. Couple that with the extremely slow ascension speed of the Jet Pack, and you’re in for a pretty annoying challenge. You’ll be holding down the thrust button almost exclusively here, as you will need to drop and then slowly rise back up numerous times. The most annoying crates to collect are the ones that are located around the dinosaur, as these are dangerously close to the water. For these ones, you’re going to need to slowly inch towards them whilst holding down the thrust and letting go accordingly.

There is also the final set which are located very high up. For some reason, the game doesn’t let you ascend high enough to collect these from a distance, so you’re going to need to hover underneath them and fly up to get them this way. Good luck with this challenge, it’s a tough one.

SUPER SHEEP CHALLENGE 2
TIME TO BEAT: 4 Minutes 30 Seconds
DIFFICULTY: Easy

It may take a few attempts to get used to the way in which the Super Sheep handles, but once you’ve mastered it, this challenge isn’t too bad. Remember that the controls are NOT inverted like most other games, so pressing down on the stick will actually make your sheep fly downwards as opposed to upwards. Don’t forget to use the right analog stick to change the pitch of the sheep if he starts to roll over to the side a little too much.

SHOTGUN CHALLENGE 2
TIME TO BEAT: 2 Minutes
DIFFICULTY: Easy

You can actually afford to miss quite a few times in this one and still beat the target time. Take it slow and make sure that your Shotgun steadies before firing.

ACCURACY CHALLENGE 2
TIME TO BEAT: 5 Minutes, 30 Seconds
DIFFICULTY: Medium

Although you have several different weapons in your arsenal, this challenge can be completed exclusively with just the Bazooka. This will be a true test of your accuracy, as you are going to need to judge the wind direction and aim your shots higher to compensate for gravity as they travel. Use the lines in your zoom as a guide. Most of the time, you’re going to have to aim at least 3-4 lines higher than the worm to stand any chance of actually hitting them. It may take you a few tries to judge the distances correctly, but the time limit isn’t too strict here, so it’s possible for you to miss a few times and still complete the challenge.

NAVIGATION CHALLENGE 2
TIME TO BEAT: 1 Minute, 20 Seconds
DIFFICULTY: Medium

Mines, lots of mines, and you’re going to be setting all of them off as you go past them in your quest to reach the summit. The mines have a three second fuse, so as soon as you set one off, you need to move on to the next platform pretty sharpish. As soon as you hear one beeping, immediately jump past it to avoid getting caught in the blast. You can simply jump to the platforms during the first half of the challenge, but you’ll need to make use of your forward flip towards the end as you ascend the higher platforms. Remember to use the left analog stick to change the camera angle so you can see where you’re going. The time limit is quite strict in this one, so you need to be very quick.

CRATE COLLECT CHALLENGE 2
TIME TO BEAT: 5 Minutes, 30 Seconds
DIFFICULTY: Easy (Once you know which route to take)

Start out by collecting the crate directly below you. Next, move over to the one located straight ahead of you (above the three mines grouped closely together.) Forward flip up to collect this one, and then make you way up the stairs and to the top of this building (whilst ensuring to collect the next crate halfway up too.) Now, you’re going to need your Jet Pack, but make sure to conserve enough fuel to collect three more crates. You’re going to need the ones located on the two flying carpets, and then the one on the very top of the building in front of those.

Next, drop down and take the fall damage to collect the crate directly below this (don’t use the Parachute because you’ll need it later.) Make your way down the stairs to the right to collect the next crate, whilst making sure to retreat to a safe distance once you’ve set off the mines. Jump to the small post containing the penultimate crate, but remember to pull back on the Analog stick a little to ensure that you don’t over-jump it.

Finally, you’ll need to take a little trek to reach the final crate. The reason why I suggested to save the Parachute earlier is because when you reach the shoreline, you can forward flip and then immediately activate the Parachute. This will glide you safely over and enable you to collect the final crate. Using this method, I completed this challenge in just over three minutes.

DEATHMATCH CHALLENGE 11
TIME TO BEAT: 10 Minutes
DIFFICULTY: Hard

The main difficulty with this challenge actually lies with surviving rather than beating it within the time limit. You're going to need to play a tactical game here, because the enemy has perfect accuracy and will hit you almost all of the time. Therefore, you need to find a nice hiding spot and stay there whilst slowly peeking out to pick off the enemy worms. The rocks leading onto the sand are good place to hide in, and there's a small doorway below where your first worm starts that serves as an excellent hiding spot. You have 10 minutes to complete this challenge, so you need to be killing an enemy every 1 minute and 40 seconds on average.

The good thing here is that you have an unlimited supply of Super Sheeps, so once you're hidden, you can simply use these and pick off each worm at a distance. Be careful though, and don't just rely on these. If you're having trouble, you may wish to use your Jet Pack to pick up any Health Crates that drop, or to whack them into the water with the Fire Punch/Baseball Bat.


The problem is that it is impossible to beat the 3 minute sniper rifle challenge #2 because the sniper rifle is affected by a glitch in the xbox version that forces a reload after each shot (I've seen this video of the PC version -> Worms Ultimate Mayhem Challenge Mode Ep 19 Part 1 - YouTube (http://youtu.be/lSHS5tXFZ_E?t=1m48s) and there is no reloading) which wastes too much time. 1st on the xbox live leaderboards completed the challenge in 3:40. i haven't been able to shoot more than 30 targets in 3 minutes :(. please fix this team17!!

[walrus]

I've been buying T17 games since the very beginning, been a member of these forums for a very long time, and I've never been so disgusted as I am with these glitched achievements on xbox 360. Seriously, T17? You couldn't put in the tiny amount of time it would take to fix this for xbox users? Good luck recycling your worms games on the next-gen console, no one will be buying it, least of which would be me.

[arbiekko]

A heads up, this is also glitched on PS3.

The following trophies UNLOCKED NORMALLY:

* Challenge Accepted
Complete the first of the new challenges.
* Nick Of Time
Complete one new challenge under the required time.
* No Challenge At All
Complete the new Deathmatch challenge.

When I finished the 8th challenge, having beat all times, the following trophies DID NOT UNLOCK:

* Time For A Challenge
Complete all the new challenges.
* Time Attacked
Beat all the times on the new challenges.
* Clock Watching
Beat the times on all new challenges and the new Deathmatch challenge.

For reference, for whoever finds it helpful, here's video. Bit blurry. Sorry.

I have no idea what to do other than to delete my data and start over, see if that works. This is absurd. Trophies need to be made OPTIONAL from the outset. If the ability to reach 100% completion is $%&#ed because of nonsense like this there's no reason to keep paying money for games. Staying far away from Worms Revolution because of the widely discussed PS3-only unattainable trophy. It's quite clear there won't be fixes for this.

Buyer beware.

[Pugnacious]

The same goes for me as well. Completed every challenge and every Deathmatch including Deathmatch 11 on the downloaded free DLC. The other 2 DLC packs were already included in my purchase. This I confirmed by checking on the WUM Steam forum. When I tried to buy them it came up that I had already got this DLC and could only purchase it for a friend.
I have completed all the worms 3D missions on WUM and all with the time bonus achieved and all the WUM challenges in the times, and its my name that shows up as the best time.
I only started playing this game on February 9th 2013 and am very disappointed at this glitch.
My pc more than meets the specs and my internet speed is brilliant out of a possible 8Mb service I am getting 7.5Mb as I only live about half a mlie away from the phone exchange.
I am running WUM on XP SP3 on a dual boot machine with 8Gb of 1600Mhz ram (of which XP only uses 3GB as it is a 32bit edition, my 7 Ultimate is 64 bit and uses it all) and a 6 core processor, AMD Bulldozer slightly overclocked to 3.6 Ghz and memory overclocked to 1728 Mkz. Nvidia 9800GT graphics card, a little old but more than adequate.
So there are no performance issues with this game.
SO come on Team 17 and Steam pull your fingers out and get this fixed.

Ignore my specs as this was the first PC that I played worms 3D on.
