The community foundry achievement "Work Week" is not working. It should be awarded for playing and reviewing at least one foundry quest per day, five days in a row. The counter does not increase and the achievement is not awarded after five days, either.
Ok, let me try to help you. The "Work Week" series ("Work Week", "Fortnight", "It's a habit") is extremely broken, but not impossible to achieve.
I am actually working on my "It's a habit", so I've done the other two. What you need to know to make it work is:
- You cannot play all kinds of different foundries through the day. You can only play 1 (!!!) foundry in 24 hours if you want this to work.
- It takes the counter 24 hours to refresh.
- Make sure you review AND tip. Without tipping, it does not count.
How you start:
If you have other Community Achievements to go for, complete them first as you will only be able to play 1 foundry in 24 hours.
Find a foundry that takes about 1 min to complete and pick a time when you can play every day, let's say 7:30 PM. Pick something between "full o'clocks" (so no 1, 2, 3… only 2:30, 3:30…). Play the foundry at 7:30 PM, review it, tip it. Do not play other foundries and wait 23 hours (the counter should show 1/5 after 23 hours). If it doesn't show 1/5, try picking another time. If it does, play the next foundry at 7:20 PM. Same rules again. Next one at 7:25 PM, next one at 7:20 PM, 7:25 PM, etc.
- If you play more than one foundry a day, it will reset to 0. If it does, you will only be able to see it in 24 hours, as it refreshes only every 24 hours.
- If you don't tip, it will reset.
- Any server maintenance will reset your counter (again, you'll only see it 24 hours after it happened). There is a way to work around it, but it doesn't work every time, either.
- It may also reset for unknown reasons. When I was working on the Fortnight achievement (14 days in a row), it reset 6 times on 10/14 or 12/14 for unknown reasons, until I was able to finally complete it.
- You can use the same foundry over and over again. The foundries you review don't have to be different. Just make sure you tip it every time.
I hope I could help.
P.S.: I'm working on "It's a habit" right now (4 months of this <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font>, 8 "Fortnights"). You can imagine how often I get frustrated by the counter resetting.
BUMP! I tried meldan3n's thing and it did not work. That being said I probably wasn't strict enough with timing (I was perhaps 5 minutes out each day). Any update on this bug?
Damn, I missed the 4 year anniversary of this post. Just want to update that these foundry achievements (Work Week / Fortnight / It's a Habit) seem to track fairly accurately. It should be a Foundry Authoring Achievement, not a Community Achievement. To get it, someone new must play one of your published Foundries every day 5 / 14 / 14*8 days in a row. I'm not sure if they must leave a review. I'm not sure if Beta quests count. I'm not sure what constitutes a "day" although I've had it count at random times after reset. What's certain is that it has nothing to do with playing foundries yourself.
