Steam Achievements Question
Has anyone in this group gotten all of the steam achievements for the game? I’m just curious because I’m on that journey right now and loving every second playing the game. I’m about 450 hours in and at 168 out of 191 achievements. I started playing in 2022 and took a break and began playing it again a couple months back. Safe to say I am hooked on this game and will surely keep playing it after getting all of the achievements because it’s a blast playing. Maybe try getting all the in game advancements at one point.

You'll want to be PvPing like crazy. The Valor 100 achievement takes about 1500 PvP matches assuming you get full medals and have a valor boost on, over 2000 without. I've got thousands of hours in this game and still don't have that one (mostly because I PvP on different characters).

u/Optimal_Smile_8332 4d ago
Same here. Fun fact - Valour is medal dependant, not win dependant. So as long as you get 8+ medals per match, even if you lose, you'll still get good Valour. Try to use as many boosts as you can and take max advantage of double xp events!

I'm only valor 40 and I've already given up, I just hate PvP so much. Got every other achievement except that one so it really bums me out that I can't perfect the game.
1
u/fiftykyu 4d ago
But it's a game, not a job, so... doing the fun part and ignoring the non-fun part is perfecting it. Missing that achievement shows you're doing it right. :)
When I saw how much more pvp I'd need to do for Valor 100, I said screw it too. People who love pvp can get that achievement without even trying for it, but for the rest of us it would be pure masochism. Life is short. :)

u/That_Cripple 4d ago
im at 165 but i don't feel like trying to get the rest lol
3
u/Beautiful_Cycle6845 4d ago
I feel that. When I got to 100 I started to get burned out and didn’t play for 2 years but now that I’m playing again it’s a blast. I would say just have fun and play and here and there go for them when you feel like it

u/dawnmountain 4d ago
I'm in the same boat. I'm needing the kotfe difficulty, pvp, that sort of thing. I hate pvp and I really only do story so I don't think I'm getting them all, lol
1
u/Beautiful_Cycle6845 4d ago
Yeah imma probably dread the PVP ones because I love doing the story and never got into the pvp but idk maybe I’ll learn to like it. I hope so anyways or else it’s gonna be a nightmare for Valor 100

u/INTPhoenix 4d ago
There are occasional Valor tokens from Login rewards, but they rarely pop up. However with Valor boost I got to rank 25 exclusively from those tokens.
3
u/Beautiful_Cycle6845 4d ago
Oh okay. I’ll look out on the login rewards for them. I know that like just getting from 90 to 100 will take more time than getting to 50

u/Cdt_Olivia_Armstrong 4d ago
I'm missing 3 of them! I'm 188/191 2 for master throne and fallen empire and 1 for pvp. I'm doing eternal throne in master mode, I'm on Chapter 8. Some fights are a real pain in the ass 😂
2
u/Beautiful_Cycle6845 4d ago
Oh I bet. I’m doing a Veteran run of those right now and it’s already kinda difficult. Especially when you are locked out of a companion it gets stressful. Imma make sure I got the best rated gear possible before I attempt it myself or close to the best rated gear possible
3
2
u/Cdt_Olivia_Armstrong 4d ago
Yeah veteran mode provides some difficulties too. I did veteran and do master with a juggernaut immortality. In master mode, I highly recommand to have a character with the gear and with controls powers. It's also useful to play with the geography of places, to cut off powers and recover.
2
u/Beautiful_Cycle6845 4d ago
Oh okay thanks for the advice. With Veteran I’m starting to actually use my stun moves and healing ones because before I never had to worry about using those because I never worried about my health getting low. Veteran and Master will certainly test you for sure lol
2
u/Cdt_Olivia_Armstrong 4d ago
It is challenging indeed! In veteran mode I remember one fight that was hard after the party hosted by vaylin. The one we crushed. We get to fight with arcann, but you need to understand his powers to get it done properly bc you can get yourself and arcan killed easily.
Oh and there was that one guy guarding the doors of nathema's complex! But if you want to, you can lure it to the side of the complex and bump him towards the cliff face.

SWTOR Pro Tip: Completing Master Mode KOTFE and KOTET chapter achievements will also grant you the Veteran versions of those achievements. Two achievements granted for completing master mode (assuming veteran wasn't previously completed).

u/canadiancalssic 4d ago
Yep got them all, 3k+ hours, 100 valor is the real grind
4
u/Beautiful_Cycle6845 4d ago
Oh congratulations it is a long grind. Any tips for PvP?
3
u/canadiancalssic 4d ago
Yes, you want to go hard on the double valor weeks that happen. That saves a massive chunk of time, otherwise will take months/years. I also saved my valor tokens for the double valor aswell
1
u/Beautiful_Cycle6845 4d ago
Oh okay thanks. I’ll definitely look out for those double valor weeks and buy lots of valor boosts

u/Archof1 4d ago
I have way more hours in the game than my steam quantifies and I’m only missing 2 cheevos. Eternal Veteran and Eternal Master. The KOTET stuff is super hard on MM for me lol.
2
u/Beautiful_Cycle6845 4d ago
Oh okay. Yeah I’m going through them right now and even on veteran it’s difficult sometimes. It’s definitely worth it to get your character to level 80 and having like 300+ rated gear for those
1
u/Archof1 4d ago
Agreed, all of my characters are level 80 and are above gear lvl 300, shit is tough though.
2
u/Beautiful_Cycle6845 4d ago
Yeah for sure especially when they lock you out of companions. Sure 300 leveled gear goes a long way but it’s gonna come down to a lotttttt of patience and strategy to complete them
1
u/fiftykyu 4d ago
I'd check a guide for the MM stuff, https://swtorcommando.blogspot.com/2019/04/kotfe-kotet-veteran-master-mode.html for example. It's old but things haven't completely changed since then.
Also notice that you can cheese some of them, like knocking a guy of a ledge instead of fighting him straight on. And if all else fails, doing them with a second player counts too. :)

u/INTPhoenix 4d ago
I'm on my way to finish up Shadow of Revan class mission ones, and later on I'll do Onderon/Mek-Sha Imperial storyline cheevo.
I gave up on trying for KOTFe/KOTET Veteran and Master, as well as PVP.
One that I don't understand why I don't have is "cleared all listed FPs in story mode at least ones" when for a fact I know I played them all. Does the SOLO-STORY version not count, or is it an issue of playing them both Rep and Imp?
1
u/Beautiful_Cycle6845 4d ago
Hmm yea I can understand the frustration for that. For the flashpoints I know the dlcs have flashpoints in them and you can check legacy for flashpoints or maybe go to all the planets and see if there’s any you missed
1
u/fiftykyu 4d ago
For the "Flashpoint Master" achievement, use the in-game tracker to see which ones you're missing. Here's a list, copied from https://torcommunity.com/database/achievement/zC6D9T7/flashpoint+master/ :
0/1 Survived the Tomb
0/1 All Aboard
0/1 Dropped the Hammer
0/1 Weapons Acquisition
0/1 Directive Complete
0/1 Kaon Siege Broken
0/1 No Lost Cause
0/1 Prison Broken
0/1 Raiders Raided
0/1 Reaped
0/1 Traversed Taral V
0/1 Battle Won
0/1 Taloned
0/1 Ironed Out
0/1 Overthrown
0/1 Foundry Finisher
Several flashpoints don't have a Story difficulty (Hammer Station, Lost Island, Mandalorian Raiders, etc.) so you'll need to clear them in Veteran or Master mode instead. You get credit for the clear both grouped and solo, so do whatever you prefer. Also notice that not every flashpoint is necessary, only the ones listed. So you can do this even with a pure f2p account that can't access the later expansion flashpoints.

u/INTPhoenix 3d ago
well guess I'm giving up on another achievement too. I don't enjoy Vet/Master mode with how rarely I play nowadays
2
u/fiftykyu 3d ago
That's the important thing - do what you enjoy. It's a game, and games should be fun. If you don't want to do those flashpoints, don't. :)
I will mention, as someone who's mediocre at playing the game, that VM flashpoints are easier (i.e. trivial) to finish with a group, but that it's possible to do all the Flashpoint Master flashpoints solo if you prefer. You don't get the combat support droid in VM flashpoints, but with adequate gear and a decent-influence companion you can stealth past the trash and fight the bosses, most of which are just a regular fight. Don't stand in that circle, interrupt that, don't get knocked off the platform, etc.
Sometimes I have to micro-manage my companion a bit to keep them out of trouble, but it seems to help taking a melee companion instead of ranged. I guess as ranged they tend to stay in one place, and eventually get targeted by whatever where I might not notice, whereas if they are melee we are beating on the boss together so it's easier to notice when I need to do something.

u/SardonicNutter457 4d ago
I'm at 1500+ hours and have 180/191 achievements. Just need the level 75 for trooper and consular, and then the rest are PVP, which I'm debating on doing.

u/tobarstep Star Forge 4d ago edited 4d ago
I'm missing the 4 for Vet/Master KotFEET chapters, Elite Warlord, and for some reason it says I haven't cleared all story mode flashpoints at least once. But for the life of me I can't figure out which flashpoint I've never done at least on story mode.
edit: come to think of it, I don't think I've ever done Kuat.
1
u/fiftykyu 4d ago
Elite Warlord is the missing cheevo for a lot of people, you gotta pvp until you're ready to explode, and then do a bunch more after that. I'll probably never get that one, either.
The VM/MM chapters were easier in the 6.x era, but still doable in the current era. Gear up obviously, but also check old guides because you can cheese some of the more difficult spots. In KOTET Ch. 2 for example, you can guide those basement clowns to the fire traps in the hallway.
Use the in-game tracker to check which flashpoints you're missing, because several flashpoints don't have a story mode version. https://www.reddit.com/r/swtor/comments/1hvenee/comment/m5uir4p/ :)

u/Optimal_Smile_8332 4d ago
I'm 190/191 - the last one I need is the Valour 100. Highest I have is my main on 97. The grind is real for someone who doesn't enjoy PvP!

u/Haplo12345 4d ago
RIP, no Steam achievements because I don't have the game through Steam T_T
1
u/Beautiful_Cycle6845 4d ago
Oh well I think if you install it on steam whatever you have done so far it will unlock those achievements instantly but up to you. It’s just fun to me to earn achievements and play games I love. Makes me feel like I’m getting the whole experience
1
u/Haplo12345 3d ago
If so, that's great! I just don't want to have to use Steam to play it... I'll look into it, because I figured you'd have to re-achieve them all if you wanted to get them on Steam.

Almost 8500 hours and still missing 5 achievements that are about veteran and master chapters of KOTFE/ET and level 100 valor rank.

I have 190, only missiong Elite Warlord which is reaching level 100 valor. I have 61 on my main but getting that would require me playing PVP so it would probably take me at least 10 years to get that

u/Anoxium 3d ago
Been playing since 2012, need 5 achivements to 100% steam, 4 of those are veteran and master kotfe kotet and the 100 valor one. Just got my guardian to 80 which is almost full 340 blue tank gear (my ear, implants and relics are between 330 and 340). Got my Lana to lvl 50 and have solo finished first 4 chapters of master kotfe. I found some tutorials on it so i also prepared a sage and a mercenary, as people say some chapters are easier with ranged.
Luckly if you do master you get veteran achievement as well so i dont have to do everything twice, but damn its hard.Kotfe is somewhat ok on master mode as a guardian tank, but kotet is a nightmare, still haven't managed even the first chapter. And from what i've seen online, kotet is much harder to do, might have to join a guild and find some help.

u/sparklingvireo 3d ago
Just missing the pvp one. Never going to happen for me as I just don't enjoy it enough.
I managed all the KOTFE/ET chapters solo and without cheesing the fights, although it took some time.
1
u/Sykotik_Vyper 3d ago
Ive been playing since right after launch, so January 2012. When it released to Steam, I didnt care to redo stuff to then get the achieves, So I used Steam Achievement Manager and gave myself all the achieves

u/Mhyrol 2d ago
Here it is how it looks for me, I play since realese moved to Steam due to achievements (I love to collect them), when I linked my acc to Steam one most of achievs I got instantly there were few I had to "work" for like KoTFE on veteran and so, last one I miss is one for Valor rank 100 I used to play on multiple toons so I have like rank 50 on 6 chars on my main I have rank 89 but cound't force myself to grind for it yet...

u/Grunt636 *Shocks Vette* 4d ago
I've got 2000 hours in game and I really want to perfect it but the last achievement I've got left is that stupid valor 100 one and I absolutely hate PvP.

u/dxlolman Full Account 4d ago
I’m 2000 hours in and I’m missing 5 achievements.
4 of them are for finishing the increased difficulty of KotFE and KotET.
Last one is just PVP.
