Are there any plans on removing/changing the Solaris Steam achievements, now that the gamemode is gone?

Cause this is going to be really confusing and/or annoying to new players (and also annoying to people who like to 'complete' their achievements, but now can't. I tried for years to find matches, but noone was playing)

There are three groups, imo:

Group one is the bolt-on achievements, "So Vain" and "Mirror Mirror". These are fine, and still work if I'm not mistaken.

Group two is the 'Complete/win X matches in Y vs Y Solaris':

• "The Debutante"
  
• "Pairs"
  
• "Featherweight"
  
• "Lightweight"
  
• "Middleweight"
  
• "Heavyweight"

These could be repurposed as Event Queue achievements, triggering when the requirements are met during Solaris Events.

Group three are the ranking achievements :

• "They Love Me"
  
• "They Really Love Me"
  
• "Solaris Champion"

These are just weird now, and should (in my opinion) be removed.

I don't think there needs to be any changes

Sincerely, someone who has most of those acheivments already

I have all but one achievement and that was to be sponsored by everyone, maxed out. It was hard enough to get the others, but this one always eluded me. "
They Really Love Me

Earn all 10 sponsors in a single divison in 1v1 Solaris

"
I'm normally not a completionist, but just seeing it there, giving that I have 3k hours into this game, and at the time, being one of the more active users for Solaris before it completely died, and now it's impossible to grab it, I'd like an answer as well.

I'm not talking about achievements.

I'm talking about the picture and the new name.
how much you like to see half a game.
I wish the whole game had changed.

Nor was I referring to your post. Besides, OP topic is for "Achievements."

I'd be okay with that if the EQ rules are brought in line with Solaris rules - no command wheel, no consumables, nerfed Flamers and chassis restrictions following the original division system (just do one division at a time, problem solved).

Honestly, I'd love to see the S7 mode itself getting properly reenabled for the monthly events, just restricted to a single division at a time.

Aside from weapon nerfs, that's a good idea. The question would still remain how you would fulfill some of the achievements that are no longer available.

The nerf in question was reducing the heat output of Flamers while compensating by giving them crit capability like MGs. All it really did was prevent them from becoming too oppressive in 1v1 scenario (like what everyone has been "enjoying" in Solaris EQs since they started)

So uh...Any word on those achievements?

[MTier Slayed Up]

Okay so June is coming up soon. What's it going to take to get an answer from this sub section since this mode is no longer available? Do we need a petition? How about another mass shadow ban from Reddit? No? Maybe a failed kickstarter for more money? Maybe if I buy a couple gold painted mechs for $500 each I'd get an answer then?

It's a simple question in regards to a very basic achievement that likely a very minute playerbase achieved and it wouldn't even be out of skill. Just an answer is all we are asking here.

When you were partying

I studied The 1v1

When you were having premarital sex

I mastered The Grind

While you wasted your days at the gym in pursuit of vanity

I cultivated Inner Tryhard

And now that the achievements are no longer in reach you have the audacity to come here for help?

Swear to God, the next time you talk to me like that, I will break into your house and fornicate on your bed.
