Iron Mode (Achievements) - Multiplayer

[VelocityRX]

Hello, i play Hearts of Iron IV with my friend. We are enjoying playing two for one nation ( coop mode ). Currently we played every nation with focus tree, we have tried many mods. But now, there is nothing to do, only waiting for next DLC. Please make possible to finish achievements in multiplyaer. I know, it is disable because of potencial cheating. But what about forcing coop mode, with same people (by user ID) in MP Iron mode? It is possible to make it like that? I think many people would appreciate it. You can give free hours of playing to people, who play coop mode.

Thanks

The problem with making achievements available in multiplayer is that many of them become shamefully easy to do with another player's help. Restoring Byzantium is super easy if Germany allies with Greece and gives Greece all of their points at the peace conference. Huge-o-slavia is also easy if Yugoslavia joins the Comintern and has the USSR do all of the heavy lifting. The devs aren't likely to allow achievement farming in multiplayer for this reason.

I meant it only in COOP, that means for example 2 players playing as Germany vs AI. No other players. It would be the same as Singleplayer. The difference is, your friend would help you managing units for example, or focusing on some doctrine. With this, i dont find it easier than normal SP

I think If They force I a coop i have no issue with that. Like a separate mode.

Is it possible to somehow contact a developer?

Set game to coop.

invite 15 people.

invite 1 person who actually knows how to play the game.

15 people afk. while 1 person gets the achievement for them.

I don't see this ever happening. I have all of the achievements and I would certainly not go through that again just so someone else could cheese their way towards a steam profile badge. I am not going to play through another "Go Ahead Macau My Day" or other cancerous achievements, and I doubt you'll find many who will. Allowing co-op achievements is a great idea as it can make some of them much less painful and boring. It also incentivizes getting them in multiplayer as it can be more fun which might provide a passive small boost to sales.

idk i really disagree.

if you made new seperate coop achievements then that would be fine.

changing the game so that the current achieves are able to complete in coop is a massive middle finger to everyone whose done the achievements so far.

edit* middle finger to the community may be a little harsh

Pfff...please...there are cheats, trainers, savegame editing is possible even in Ironman and last but not least there are several tools to just "activate" achievements so I don't see a reason why they should be disabled in MP anymore.

Just saying...abusing MP isn't the real issue IMHO.
