So I finally decided to shoot for Dauntless as I haven't actually tried to do it yet at all. Well......I'll let my achievements page explain it.... Also, I found a scenario room during my attempt that doesn't seem to have been found yet.
Time for a nice little dose of irony
The dauntless+cradle bug is pretty common. Just file a GM support request and they'll trigger the cradle one for you.
But I don't want it fixed :D it's my ironic proof of my first attempt :P since it glitched that way I don't really care to do it again since most people just try it for dauntless anyway, I may do it again out of boredom, but that won't be for a LONG time...
I think the bug occurs when you're about to achieve three achievements at once, Gold Survivor, Cradle and All and Dauntless Delver.
When I got Dauntless Delver, I also got Cradle and All along with it, but I guess that's because I already have Gold Survivor so I didn't trigger the bug.
Or maybe I just got lucky, I don't really know, but that's my impression.
And this isn't irony...just an odd bug.
...How is this ironic in any way?
It might just be ME not being an expert when it comes to irony but I know a few;
You could say something, yet mean the complete opposite, in an ironic way.
You can be sarcastic, which is a rather rude way of using irony, I guess.. xD ??
And I've also heard about - Let's say; Dancing incredibly silly, acting like it's cool, yet being aware of the fact that it looks stupid. (Blame the cool kid.)
So uhm, how is this ironic -__- ??
It's just a bug.
Sorry, I'm not really an expert either, lol..
@Shidara I got gold survivor previous to my bugged encounter with getting Dauntless and Cradle at the same time.
@Nicoya-Kitty how do you file a GM support request? I didnt get dauntless and cradle but I got gold survivor. Do you just mean the f2 thing? I did that a week ago and I haven't heard back yet. How long does that usually take?
The F2 thing just sends a bug report to the developers, you won't get an in-game response (or any response, save for them possibly fixing the cause of the bug at some point in the future). To open a GM support request, you need to either hit up this page https://www.spiralknights.com/support/#requests_new or from in-game: go to the gear menu, select "support" (or something like that) and click on whatever it is that leads you to basically that exact same page.
If the page appears blank, it's probably because something is interfering with the javascript. If this happens, try disabling some combination of adblocking software, noscript, webpage-screening-antivirus protection and the like.
..."If the page appears blank, it's probably because something is interfering with the javascript. If this happens, try disabling some combination of adblocking software, noscript, webpage-screening-antivirus protection and the like"....
If this wont work for blank page you are doomed. Just like me, unable to open support with perfectly working javascripts
I'll tell ya:
First:
Dauntless Delver is getting from top to bottom in a single run without having to revive
Cradle and All is just getting from top to bottom in a single run
SO, it is ironic that he can complete the whole gate in one run without having to revive, yet seemingly NOT getting from top to bottom in a single run.
KnowhatImean?
Dauntless Delver, to put it crudely, CONTAINS the Cradle and All achievement. So it's ironic he can get Dauntless Diver, yet not the achievement that you do ANYWAY when you get it.
Am I being too confusing?
@Brazzyts
@Martinsen
Its an IRONIC BUG.
I'm in the same boat as Brazzyts and Martinsen.
It's just a bug... there's nothing IRONIC about it.....
an IRONIC BUG would be if you got
Jump Start and Dauntless Delver at the same time...
I dont see how it's ironic D8 !!
But like I said; me no expert, hehe.
This is the type of irony that means: 'Its funny this can happen without something else happening'
Contradicting things. Like how its ironic Wolvers are weak to piercing, but the armor is resistant to it.
In this case, it's ironic how he can get Dauntless Delver (Doing the whole clockworcks in a single run without having to revive) and NOT GET Cradle and all (Just doing the whole clockworks in a single run.)
My english teacher confused me a bit with the meanings of Irony, that's why I explained it just earlier.
There's:
Irony: A friendly version of sarcasm/saying one thing, meaning another entirely. <---what people usually call sarcasm.
Irony: Contradicting things put together.
Get it now?
The type has been found, but not the specific combined, he made a good discovery
You know what irony is: Buying the Explorer pack on Monday for their regular price and mere days later they cut the price down by a massive ammount. Now I feel like a fracktard for wanting the Elevator Pass and spending FAR more than needed with their sale. THATS irony.
That's not irony, a contradiction is a contradiction. that's why there's already a word for it.
irony is when you are trying to achieve something, and the opposite or something that contradicts it occurs instead.
such as trying to save a friend by knocking a monster away, but also hitting a explosive block and killing said friend in the process.
the OP's achievements is just bugged, it's not ironic.
he was trying to get the dauntless delver achievement, and he got it, the cradle and all should have triggered as well, but didn't, so it's just bug.
and if he got Jump Start instead, that would have been irony.
@Cinder: that's not irony either..... just in case
Then I am further confused about the meaning of Irony.
As far a I was taught, Irony was like when some guy's name was Mr Big, but was tiny. (I haz nothing against midgets.)
Or things like Dramatic Irony in a play, where you know what is going to happen, but the characters don't.
Or where you're bring sarcastic, but because it's to a friend, and sarcasm was originally intended to be offensive, they call it irony.
Perhaps...the meaning of Irony varies among our location in the world and teachings? Or the boundaries that determine the difference between the meanings are dulled in our own opinions? These things happen.
Or perhaps I'm just ignorant. ><
all those you mentioned is another form of irony
the running theme you have in your 3 examples is the 'in joke' and the sarcastic nature of the situation, where people inside the circle understand.
but the OP's original post, about the bug, there's no irony in that.
there's no inside of the joke/bug and there's definitely no sarcasm in the bug
It has been found already. It just says monster are attracted to certain minerals.
