Here we go again. Another Achievement system is down.

No problem Soroxas15. No one knows an exact time frame but the Xbox Live Team. And knowing how good and hard they work on Xbox Live it should be soon. That Xbox Live Team works around the clock and watch the servers like the Matrix Feed.

I had to put up with this for eight days since the start of august, I had a load of bugged achievements, I was pretty disappointed I must say but on the 8/8/2014 me and my friend had our bugged achievements pop up when we where playing a completely different
game, I have just had another bugged one on 'Watch Dogs' for hacking ten players successfully, it remains at 100% just like the other ones.

My guess will be just to wait it out, I'm sure Microsoft are doing everything they can and about your bugged achievements, I would not worry about them, nothing is lost.

The excuses from the apologists just don't cut it with me I'm afraid. The Xbox One experience is shambolic at best. Today's Achievement mess has finally moved me to the PS4. The 360 is the best console ever. The XO is by far the worst. It's incredible that
Microsoft couldn't build on what they did with the 360 without mangling everything they touch on the new machine.

What Twigleaf said is true; Microsoft did a forced system sweep for verifications last week. It's why countless people, including myself, had our glitched achievements show up properly all at the same time one day. Thankfully for me it wasn't a huge number
of them (ones from Guacamelee, which I played during the last major outage. And then one from Dead Rising 3 from a month ago.) All of mine showed up, and I was relieved. Friends of mine had ones show up that they'd been missing for months.

I was hoping this was the end of major unlock woes for a while. It was not. I'm not sure if these system-wide forced verification sweeps could be done on a regular basis, maybe weekly, until the issues are resolved. If so, that could be at least some kind
of makeshift fix. I'm thankful, at least, that these 100% achievements waiting for verification retain their original timestamps. So when they do unlock, they don't mess up the order/time they should have popped. Which for me is major, so I appreciate that.

But in any case, being able to track your achievement progress in real-time has always been an intrinsic part of the process. Not waiting weeks or months to have your data be accurate. I'm not concerned about my gamerscore being higher or showing up sooner,
nor do I care to brag to anyone. I just want my own gaming history to be accurate; for such a vital feature of the games to function correctly. -_-

Growling, the caveat with the 360, is that it is unlocking achievements fine, because it does not require an online verification to unlock them. The 360, will unlock an achievement, and in a couple days, assuming they fix the achievement problem, upload
the achievements you got to the Live system so it updates on that end. The Xbox One will not do that. In fact, if you get achievements while the Live service is down right now... , you have to rely, and pray that the Live service runs an achievement verification
on your profile later, because only then will you get credit for an achievement. Trust me too, it is not a 24 hour thing. I had some stuck for a couple months. I had thought they made a breakthrough last week, but they simply just forced an achievement
verification, put a bandaid on the Live System, and as of last night, its bleeding again. You do not get achievements to pop while offline on the Xbox 1, although, it seems to pop them quicker than it does when you are online, while the Achievement server
is down. You may wait weeks.
