Weekly Warrior Trophy

We can sit here speculating about how easy it is to modify sql databases and who could do what etc . But as we are not on the inside none of us can really say for sure what needs to happen. End of the day the technicalities don’t really matter but what is clear is this company gives zero f**ks about anything other than profit and negative PR.. because bottom line is unless it impacts one of those they have clearly decided to not allocate any resource away from other work to fix this. 

So impacting profit is going to be hard unless a significant amount of users refuse to buy their products in the future and stand by this .. I will be personally doing this but I can’t vouch for anyone else. However what we can do is create some negative PR for the company by highlighting this underhanded practice to the gaming press, YouTube, social media etc.

So that is where I’m going to be putting my effort. Posting on here is just a waste of time now imo. I mean how many more pages does this thread need to be before they think hang on we might need to do something about this!?

It's been 3 months. We are still waiting.

Spotted this today over on the xbox forums:

Have they got any plans to bring these back. Can't quite believe that they have removed them all already without the game being out for over a year...

Game was completable on EA play/Game Pass for less than 3 months.

Handysaur just unlocked it today?
Can anyone confirm if it is now unlockable again?
As far as I know, I'm not aware that xbox one achievements are hackable? Unlike the xbox 360 achievements are!

Anyone on xbox able to confirm, has he hacked the achievement?

Yes, he's definitely a cheater. I checked on my Xbox yesterday and there are still no weekly events. The leaderboard shows the last event was Baku.

@Lucky_MelotjeI feel your pain (and anyone else in that situation).

I actually only play the Playstation for trophy system itself because STEAM's system is pointless and far easily hacked. There's actually proper and serious communities on consoles.

Anyway this is my 2nd profile, first one wasn't that old and ruined by me this second one is approx 2 years old and has been ruined by EA/Codemasters.

Obviously it's frustrating and I truly feel for people with very old accounts, some of them having platinum's on every F1 game etc.

They didn't give any reason or warning, obviously no reason for not fixing which I think has long been established as a relatively easy fix. Hopefully no one forgets this shun (that's why I kept harping on about 50 weeks).

Interestingly, I've been back playing MMO's on the PC basically. Happened to be watching a popular MMO streamer vent about Diablo 4. Some of his fanbase had started to go after the social facing employees i.e the ones on twitter etc. He backed the idea saying something along the lines of "well that's what needs to happen, you can't get to these big companies and punish them so going after the guys on socials and attacking them is the only way".

Whether you or I agree with that or not I think it kind of hints at where things need to go. I've been sort of brainstorming (with myself) the idea of having a website that tracks game development/publishing employees. Nothing nefarious and all data pulled from the surface web. An almost - heres this guys name, he worked at so and so between xzy, this game released then and was trash etc etc. A comment section and a link to any social media accounts.

All very legal, data pulled from the indexed web - a bit like pulling a name from companies house etc. A collection of data displayed in one place to increase exposure.

I recently started on the online trophies of F1 22. Very disappointing to see that the platinum is already unobtainable after less than 1 year...

I had the same issue with another EA game last year (FIFA 22). After 4 months they provided a fix. Lets hope this one will get fixed soon.

@arvaves95Interesting that they fixed a previous. Still paying to play this on EA so surely they can fix it, even if temporarily

Temporary solution will be enough for us.

I have 3 platinums on previous F1 games, and i looking for F1 22, but will not start the game until they fix it. I care for my percentage of completion and i will never buy ea or codemaster game  again. (shame for codemasters, they were one of my favorites game studios )

Definitely! Or if not they can just change the requirements of the trophy (it was literally a participation trophy, didn't take any skill - change the requirement to opening the game and keep us happy!)

I've already given up, I'm disgusted by F1 2023, for me it's unacceptable to continue with EA... now I have to accept losing 100 hours of my life!

WEEKLY EVENT IS BACK!

Don't know how this came to be but (at least) on Xbox it's possible to unlock this again as there is some Hungary event running right now.

Yep! I am happy to report I just earned the trophy and platinum.

Cleary somebody at Codemasters or EA had a change of heart or someone eventually realised it was broken and flicked the switch back on!

I would be interested to hear why the change of heart after all the back and forth we had.

I am still a little dubious as to wether or not I reinstate my EA play subscription but an answer to that question (if we get one) may sway that decision.

I can confirm that the platinum is obtainable again! I just got the trophy on PS5.  

Just completed it!

Full 1000gs at long last.

Thanks to everybody that helped to make this achievement/trophy available again!

I can confirm too that I just got the trophy. You just need to finish the race as position doesn't matter. It's open for 6 days so my advise would be to hurry.

@WaynosDaBoss I want to know the change of heart or at least a reason why as well when admin told us no and they wouldn't bother with it.

Unbelievable... I'd love to be able to thank someone from here, do you think all these messages made any difference, or the devs just randomly decided to add an event? Anyway, get on it while it lasts. I started the event on PS4 and immediately wrote off my car, thinking I wouldn't get another chance but the trophy popped even though I was forced to retire.

I would like to thank everyone for their commitment, it was months of suffering, the pain of anguish for losing 100 hours of my life, together we did it, enjoy, let your friends know so you can get this trophy, I apologize to EA for our nervousness, I knew that one day this day today would arrive, this platinum will be a platinum of history, now go ahead and run and buy and platinum the f1 23!!!!

@ScarDuck14 

Made up for you guys🏆💪

 @EA_Groguet has continued to raise this with codemasters 

Hey Racers,

We heard your feedback about the F1® 22 events and I am happy to announce you that the weekly events for F1® 22 have been reactivated. That means that the Weekly Warrior Trophy should be attainable again!

Thanks for your passion!

-Groguet

Thank you very much! I was indeed able to complete the new event and to get the achievement. It feels good that we all have been heard.

Even though I brought you the first discouraging message, I also kept raising your negative sentiment to the Team. They heard the different reports I brought and your frustration and anger were raised to them. We heard you, the team heard you, and the change was possible.

Definitely. It was frustrating for everyone, but your messages made a difference. If it wasn't for those messages and your feedback I wouldn't have had any case to report to the Team.

All of you made it possible, and I am very happy you all came to AHQ to bring your feedback. Most of you were angry and frustrated, but always shared your sentiment politely. I had to moderate some messages, that's true, but mostly the messages here were exactly what I needed to report the negative sentiment.

-Groguet

And blowing my own trumpet 🎺 💪😁

I brought this to the attention off EA which then had @EA_Groguet push this to codemasters which obviously got the desired result in the end 😁

it was all me 😇😂

Thank you for the open and honest reply, I and I am sure many others really appreciate the effort put in to represent us.

Thanks you @ScarDuck14 and @EA_Groguet for your help on what I believed for many months to be a lost cause. If only you guys had been around to influence all the other developers that have broken their games, and my trophy list in the past.
