So, today, I decided to finally play Lockdown, cause Blast Network was kinda getting boring & I didn't have enough Energy to do my Daily RJ Run of the day(Crafted my 4th 4* Bomb) but I decided to try T1 to see what I had to do & get used to it.

First 5 Matches were pretty decent, full game...till now.

I saw some people whom I recognized(Either from Clockwork Runs or Being Idle outside the AH) being...Manipulative.

I heard(or in this case, SAW the Text) one tell a Steam Achievement Newb to fill up the Bribe to get the Snowball.

Of course, he didn't know any better & filled up the Bribe 3 times.

"did i gt the snwball acheevmnt??"

"no keep bribing youll get it eventuly"

"but i dnt hve ne enrgy left"

"oh then yoo got it"

The person I recognized was a T3 Knight, who also Scammed people outside the Auction House.

I've exited & tried other Games.

Same deal: People Manipulating Newbs to believing Bribing will get them the Snowball Achievement.

Gms, Devs, I don't care, somebody, release an Announcement to everyone to explain how to get the Achievement properly. This is painful to watch.

That's beyond a joke :/

(saying that, if they don't have the common sense to read the description of the achievement then....)

really?

From the wiki:
http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Lockdown

You click the icon in the top. Play lockdown, which seems to be stuck on the snow level (which is mediocre at best). Pick up some snow. Throw it.

Lockdown=PvP

The Wiki is Currently Down, so I'll explain.

On the Top-Right of your Screen, you should see 2 Red, Crossed Swords. This is the PvP Button.

There, you should see either Lockdown or Blast Network.

Lockdown, you fight with your 0-1* Swords/Guns/Bombs with Special Ability giving Shields.

Blast Network is the Spiral Knights equivalent to Bomberman.

The Achievement is to Grab a Pile of Snowballs & Successfully hit an Enemy with it.

EDIT: Sniped.

You know,

insulting people is hardly a good way to get people to help you out. Most of this community is very welcoming to new players. There is even a decent sized segment of players who pay to buy CE and argue for lower prices (hurting their profitability) in order to increase the amount of new players. What the community doesn't like is people coming in and expecting handouts.

I'm under the impression that this thread was created to stick up for novices and point out players taking advantage of those that know no better. I don't think it was intended to be a guide to getting an achievement.

Coming in saying "so why dont you explain here how its done..." implies that you expect someone to help you out. People are generally glad to help, but if you come in with an air of superiority, or at least entitlement, it's hard to expect people to go out of their way to help. You catch more flies with honey than vinegar.

A simple search of "lockdown" in the wiki would explain where "this lockdown" is, "how it works", and would give you plenty of "info about this" from "the wiki".

It wouldn't have told you how to get the achievement, but if you tried playing it, I'm sure you could have figured it out in less time than waiting for a response would take.
