| Achievements regarding 'full load drugs' | Started by: Branston on Jul 26, '10 08:39 |

I'm pretty sure it didn't used to be like this, but at the moment I'm selling x units (say 5) of marijuana at a profit, which represents my full load. However, when I sell them...I earn my 6th unit, so 5 units no longer constitutes my full load...and I don't get anything towards the achievement. |

That means you actually earned your 6th unit before the trade was completed, ergo it wasn't your full load. |

I was actually just about to suggest the same thing as it's been annoying me since I started a new account, though it appears Branston is 3 days ahead of me on this one.
As for JudgeDeath's point. You may have earned you're 6th unit before you hit sell, but you haven't been given it yet by the dealer, so to suggest that you ought to try and sell 0 units smacks of "workaround" rather than "fix".
I'd lend this idea my full support! |

the achievement is to sell a full complement of drugs at profit. This means if you earn subsequent unit(s) after purchase but prior to sale, you will not get % towards the achievement unless you sell '0' units of another drug, before boosting your other drug to max units...and then selling; which as Fredio has stated, is more of a workaround than a fix. |

The Only reason you haven't been given it is because you haven't checked. If you are entitled to 6 units, but have failed to do any drug deals to earn that 6th unit, it is hardly the games fault that you only have 5 and therefore don't get your achievemnet because your actual full load is one higher than you thought. |

This actually must be some sort of bug, as I know for a fact it used to be that if you earned your unit while hitting sell, you'd get the achievement. Of course if they changed it, or if something got messed up, an easy way around it is to just hit the sell button before typing any numbers in. Then you'll either get the piss off message, or your other unit. Then you can just buy the unit at full price(still leaving your average price below selling,) and complete the achievement like that. |

Problem is, you have earned it, you just haven't recieved it, and there is a difference mate. |

Alright then, will you be making the case that as long as I've received Godfather points, I should received the associated boosts regardless of whether or not I've received the rank? |

Points alone is not enough to earn your GF rank... so yes, if you have everything necessary to be a GF, then i would say you would get the bonus. |

You'd think that wouldn't you? Branston, I know what you're saying completely, and I agree. It's a simple enough change to make, and one that I think should be made. |

I think youy'll find that from a game point of view, its done like thisa so that people stuck on 20 units don't get the achievements for a full load or something like that anyway. |

This hasn't been an issue for about a month or so, so the original poster was, for all accounts, wrong. |

Oh? Maybe I've only noticed it recently, then. I hardly go for those achievements anyhow. |
