NITEMARECREATOR Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 As of today, July 27, The Pay it Forward & BFA cheevos are unobtainable for the Xbox 360. Those cheevos were unobtainable on all systems due to THQ's bankruptcy and the switchover of the servers / IPs to Nordic Games. Nordic Games has been able to reset / restart / fix the servers for the other platforms, but they are having minor issues figuring out Microsoft's coding. NG is trying to work with ex-THQ techs that know the coding and are working on resolving our problem(s). Here is the link I have been following for updates... http://community.darksiders.com/go/thread/view/138731/29988595/Registerlogin_problems_serpent_stone_retrieve_error?pg=1 The user you should watch for is MegalomaniacNG and here is his entry post about the situation. Keep in mind that this post is from July 3rd when all platforms were having issues. Hey, This is horseman Reinhard from Nordic Games. We are looking into that. Just a quick question: The game also doesnt ask you to login to your THQ account or it doesnt work, correct? Just for your information: The whole server environment is still not in our hands so we need to liaise with the people that are left at THQ to work this out. Best, Reinhard Pollice Executive Horseman @ Nordic Games GmbH Seems to me that they should have the 360's issue resolved in the upcoming days / weeks. Keep your fingers crossed...

Invincible666 Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Great find, I've only recently bought this game and was disheartened to find out that within a year it was potentially unobtainable. If the other systems were fixed, it would make sense that Xbox is on the way, obviously technology is just being a pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NITEMARECREATOR Posted July 27, 2013 Author Share Posted July 27, 2013 This isn't like it was an EA and their shutting off servers shenanigans to save a nickel. THQ did support their online game communities with no issues that I knew of. The only reason this game had issues was because THQ was sold off in a bankruptcy. Nordic Games bought the Darksiders IP, and as I was hoping, are putting forth effort to reestablish the online servers after the transition. For whatever reason, flipping the on/off/reset switch worked for the PS3 / PC servers but MS has to have complex coding for their server establishments.

Invincible666 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 It appears the thread has been locked, so no more updates through that. I hope that's not a deflection of the issue... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puppys Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I'm a little late, but its sad to see the servers shut down. I thoroughly enjoyed Darksiders II Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally don't think they will open up the servers again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagermeister TX Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Guys, Please stay calm about this. This is not in our fault! The achievement is dependent on the online environment from THQ. We also acquired this but unfortunately Microsoft changed in June some security certificates and while we are working with Microsoft since August (it took 1,5 months to figure out its not the actual online environment) on this issue we are totally dependent on their help about it. I will not rest before this issue is fixed. I am sorry for not giving you regular updates about it recently. http://forum.nordicgames.at/showthread.php?180751-Darksiders-2-Pay-it-forward-achievement-ERROR/page4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxJUSTINxx Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Hello, Its not a Complete Collection - its a "Collection". Unfortunately it would be very difficult to release all the DLCs on X360 because of certain guidelines by Microsoft. To have parity we decided to only include the two most important DLCs. About the pay it forward achievement issue: We are still working on that and trying to solve the issue on the X360. When that is solved the service will go online again on all platforms. Same old, same old still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuter0s Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Kudos to Nordic Games for restoring the servers and making these achievements attainable again. It was actually putting me off of playing this series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHMEEDIDDY Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Thank you Nordic Games, Never doubted you the first place after you mentioned in the Nordic Forums that you wouldn't give up on the Darksiders community! I thank you on all the little/a lot of work you done to give back! I am happy for what they done, cannot wait for their 1st title they do to continue the series on Darksiders. Will buy when the 3rd ones out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggiez Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Always nice when companies give the gamers a little help with these sort of things. Hopefully this means that Nordic Games are taking the Darksiders franchise seriously and wants to have a pleased community when the third game is on the way.

Sensei Neo Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I started the game last night and it said ' THQ servers are unavailable'. Does this mean I cant get pay it forward? Anyone know whats going on with this? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iBuzz7S Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) I started the game last night and it said ' THQ servers are unavailable'. Does this mean I cant get pay it forward? Anyone know whats going on with this? Thanks A handful of gamers got the Pay It Forward achievement today. http://www.trueachievements.com/a166533/pay-it-forward-achievement.htm I'm sure they wouldn't just go back on all that effort and make it unobtainable again. Edit. It looks like the PS3 version is still down, whereas the Xbox 360 version is fine? Might have to try it for myself.

Rossco7530 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I started the game last night and it said ' THQ servers are unavailable'. Does this mean I cant get pay it forward? Anyone know whats going on with this? Thanks No, it's all good. I've never had it say the servers are online, but the achievement popped anyway. Just ignore the message. Great work from Nordic Not everyone cares about achievements, but if they are there, they should be maintained properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
