Color Masteries Achievements No Longer Being Awarded
I don’t know why achievements in the color masteries are not being awarded anymore. I had just gotten another one some days back, but either later that day, or the very next day (I can’t remember), I decided I wanted to try and get the last one I needed to complete the one for Green. I worked towards that until I succeeded, at which point it was not awarded.
I originally thought even though it had previously come up right when I’ve successfully accomplished it, that maybe I now needed to wait for the match to fully end. However once the match ended, the achievement didn’t come up then either. I thought maybe I needed to exit the app and then come back into it, again even though I never had to previously, and again that did not do anything to make it register.
It’s quite frustrating given how many times you don’t get the right cards at the right time or you do but your creatures are killed before you can accomplish it. I then managed to complete the same challenge of Turbo Mana, again, using the same starter deck in the starter deck duel. In fact, I was able to do it for two different, well the same creature just two of them that were 6 mana, while only having three lands and play. Considering the fact it had already not awarded it previously, I did screen record the whole thing, and I do have screenshots that show I have two of the same creature that costs 6 mana, while only having three lands in play.
I originally thought maybe it was a problem with that specific achievement. That is until I successfully accomplished another one today under white that also was not awarded. And that was the Going Wide challenge. I had a feeling that my opponent was just going to concede before I’d be able to get all 15 attacking, so I did attack with one that was a 0/5, but I don’t believe that makes any difference, since Cards that have benefits when casting it, only if you’ve attacked that turn give you those benefits if you’ve attacked even with a 0/5.
I’ve also seen other people report that they’ve had this issue as well. One of the things I’ve seen in common is that a lot of people are reporting it’s with the starter decks, and with the color masteries. I know I’ve completed a lot of of them using the starter deck previously with not issue, so I don’t know why all of a sudden it would cause that problem where it doesn’t register. I don’t know if this is an iOS problem because I am playing on iOS, or if it’s happening on different platforms as well. Previously, I’ve always had the most up-to-date version of the app. However, today with the going wide challenge I did not because it would not let me update it, so I had to hit cancel in order to be able to play. I don’t know if that affected that specific achievement or not, though I don’t imagine it did, since it seems people are having problems with their efforts and achievements being rewarded for quite a number of different ones that I’ve seen listed, and like I said, my problems occurred with Turbo Mana while it was up-to-date.
I have to say, it’s getting really frustrating to put time and effort into accomplishing these achievements which while some of them are not terribly difficult, getting the cards at the right time and not having them interfered with by your opponent is really what the challenging part can be, and I sometimes will have to do it repeatedly only to get it, but now only for it not to be awarded, and at times that can get quite infuriating. I have reported this directly to you on the @wizards_help page, I think is the handle, on X, and have not received any information or comment back. I know that there’s a lot to work on that keeps you guys really busy, but it would be really great if our concerns could be addressed in some way so we don’t feel like we’re talking to nobody/not being heard. Even some announcement that you’re now aware of it and working on a fix for it. Anything that lets us know maybe don’t put the time and effort into something at the current moment, bc if all you’re seeking is the completion of the achievement, you won’t get it — that would be great.
