PG_MaxPayne Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 (edited) I am in the process of doing this right now and I managed to get the Focused achievement. Hopefully the Committed and Obsessive ones will pop too. I'll post an update if I get them. Edit: well I gave up because I don't really feel like sitting here and continuing to do that. Looks like I'll finish this game at 850/1000. Edited April 28, 2011 by PG_MaxPayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meltigercraig Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 I got mine switching between +14 & +13 as did a friend. I think so long as one of the timezones is a Thursday and the other a Wednesday, it will pop. I had to load the game 4 times, he had to load 3 times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarn Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 does anybody know what days or time to do this in America? Washington state pacific time zone. Because how does switching to monday and tuesday change the week when its in the same week> IDK what time to start this or what days. Any ideas?

dotCody Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 (edited) To explain for future reference the day for this to work is advancing by one each year because there are not exactly 52 weeks in a year (52x7=364). So in 2011 it will move to Thurs/Fri. 2012 is a leap year so at some point there will be a jump of two days, but I believe this will not be until January 2013. This theory appears to be correct, I finally got this achievement around 9pm EST (GMT-05 Eastern) tonight switching between Thursday & Friday. I can confirm also. just got it a few minutes ago. thursday/friday for 2011 it is Ok, I got it now, after several tries. To everybody who tries to unlock this achievement in 2011: Be sure you switch between a Thursday and a Friday. Only than, you'll > Alright, looks like I'll be trying for this Achievement this Thursday. Also, can a Moderator please update the original post and the new New Achievement Guide with vithzeral's very important and informative post?

Ops31337 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 bradelo, like Steakman said, I rented it, and I can't stand when a company makes a ridiculously short 8 hour game, and tries to make it last by including achievements that require you to boot the game up for an entire year. You don't even have to play the game, just load it up. Those are pretty pathetic tactics so I might as well stoop as low as them and get creative in finding a way around it. If you haven't noticed, you joined a site built around getting achievements the quickest and easiest way, so seeing as you joined then that makes you just as pathetic and more so more pointing it out. Good job. and dethklok, are you f'ing serious. You boost for achievements and are asking for help to boost right in your sig... how is that any different? Quit being a hypocrite and "just do it for real." You try to help other people out and get called pathetic. Awesome. amen to that brotha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skorpion XBA Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 It doesn't matter what day you do it on. Just keep switching back and forth until the achievement pops. It takes quite a bit of time though so if you're trying to get it in one night expect to be there for about an hour (depending on how fast you dashboard it and switch time zones etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeSparrow Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 I've been trying this for about an two hours now on Saturday afternoon (CST 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm) and it's not unlocking. Do I have to do this early early in the morning or what days/times should I be going for this? Thanks.. DaS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmona Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Can verify that for 2012 the correct day to gain Committed achievement is Saturday midnight to Sunday holy crap....you have to be a math major to understand this...so Saturday night to Sunday night for this? I'll try it tonight at 11pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kovy88 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 If somebody still needs a hint when to do this in the year 2012, I started doing this at 8 PM local time on GMT +2 zone Friday (Finland), and it unlocked in 10 minutes. Switching between Friday and Saturday. Just look at this map and work out the time difference with it so that you know when to do it. My zone is the +2 in the map and it's not hard to figure your correct time with the map. http://www.timeanddate.com/time/map/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doomsday1974 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 (edited) I Can Confirm that it is working for Friday and Saturday. Also if you go straight to system settings from the game you can get it quicker. Got the Obsessive achievement a little later also.

Chada Darkmane Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I dont really understand this. Im in New Zealand so GMT +12. Do i need to be doing this by switching friday to saturday or saturday to sunday? Does it matter what time of the day i start on and what timezones i change too?

BingoBenny Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Wondered if someone could help? I've been doing this time zone trick and got the 'focused' achievement. How long did it take you guys to get it. I've been at this for 45 mins so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BingoBenny Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Ok, just reading the start of the forum. To get 'Commited' it has to be a Tuesday and switch back to a Monday and then back to Tuesday. 10-12 times and it's done. I'll try it next week.

GotThatFace Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 So, I started doing this on 09/10/12 (Monday) at around 9:30 PST, and within 5 loads switching from the two furthest time zones, I unlocked the Focused achievement. The next morning, I did about 25 more and got the Obsessed achievement. The Committed achievement has still not popped for me, sadly. Going to keep trying throughout the week, but I believe I have to do it between Saturday and Sunday. I'll post later with my results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
