Grifter Reborn Posted September 22, 2011 Author Share Posted September 22, 2011 (edited) Q: How do people already have the onyx war supporter medal? A: Before the official release of the game there was a glitch (that was updated upon full release) that counted each match played as an "event" for those who had the game early.

A: It plays after every round where an ashen body wasn't destroyed. Q: What song is that on gridlock? A: Mad World by Michael Andrews Q: Why do I know that song? A: Any number of reasons. It's in the campaign. There's another version with Gary Jules in the movie Donnie Darko. Was also the song in the first Gears trailer. Original version of the song is from the 80s by Tears for Fears.

T0b3 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Thank you for this. Should hopefully reduce the amount of duplicate posts we see. Unfortunately, it won't. I wrote a detailed FAQ for Dead Island and even though the thread is sticky'd, threads with the same topic pop out of nowhere over and over again. : / Nice work, though. Thanks for making the effort.

13ip0lar Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I remember someone attempted this in another sub-forum, sadly people that are stuck with instant illiteracy still posted crap, for which there was already several threads on the subject. Nice try though. Also in the defense of the forum noobs, that search function is seriously fuxed. It works when it wants, and in my case it seems to be 50/50 if that.

KingGotenW Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 I remember someone attempted this in another sub-forum, sadly people are struck with instant stupidity and will continue to post ****, for which there are already millions of threads on the same exact subject, and still on the front page. Nice try though, we appreciate the effort. Also in the defense of the forum noobs, that search function is seriously f***ed. It works when it wants, and in my case it seems to be 1/4 if that. fixed that for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ooo0ooooooo0ooo Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Love this thread. Extremely helpful, yet I really hate how people disregard it and still make duplicate threads...

Can lead a horse to water... Glad the thread is appreciated! I know not everyone will use it, but for those who do it's worth the effort! I'd like to think at least a small amount of clutter has been helped by this. Of course, it's currently rated at 3 stars so I guess I'm doing an "average" job on the whole. Not great, but not bad either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pwnedbyspas Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 What about a thread just to find people to play with in general ( NOT FOR ANY ACHIEVEMENTS, JUST FOR FUN).? Where's that one:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grifter Reborn Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 What about a thread just to find people to play with in general ( NOT FOR ANY ACHIEVEMENTS, JUST FOR FUN).? Where's that one:confused: If I'm not mistaken, the two current threads for "cheevo trading" have been for that purpose as well. Your welcome to double-check with Pants, but I'm pretty sure it's been used for both purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
