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.

It's not a bug per se, but I'd like to see it altered so your full load is calculated at the actual point of sale (or even purchase) rather than post-sale.

Just a little one, but I did feel a bit gipped :(

Report Post Tip

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

Easiest way around this? Sell 0 units, you'll get the "We either do business, or you can go piss off" message, and your units will go up if you have earned more. Now, just buy one extra unit and sell them all, sure you'll make $20 less profit per unit, but you'll get you achievement.

Report Post Tip

Aye, I've just been told about this.

I still feel it'd be simpler to simply regard the full load as the units available at the point of purchase. Just my two cents.

Report Post Tip

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!

Report Post Tip

Doesnt it mean sold said drug at profit five times?

not sold 5 units at profit?

Report Post Tip

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.

Report Post Tip

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.

Report Post Tip

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.

But the point is, I have done the drug deal to earn the 6th unit.

Step 1: I buy a full load of drugs, let's say this constitutes 5 units
Step 2: I do a few petties, whatever. I now have the experience for 6 units, but I do not have 6 units, therefore I have not earnt it
Step 3: I sell my drugs, and now I earn the 6th unit. However, despite the fact I sell the full load of drugs at a profit, and then earn the next unit, I still don't get the reward.

As I say, I now use the selling 0 units method, but I would assume it's a relatively simple fix to regard full loads as the figure when purchasing.

Report Post Tip

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

Report Post Tip

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?

Report Post Tip

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.

Report Post Tip

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.

Report Post Tip

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.

Report Post Tip

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

Boner: That was never the case. It has always been that you would not earn towards your achievement if you gained a unit when selling. It was once discussed that we could change that, but we didn't until just recently.

Report Post Tip

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