From 6d3806065ac9df70ce1f9c66cf0d2e8d83366c84 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: The Mystical One Date: Wed, 29 Oct 2025 10:03:30 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Add tip to Overly Cumbersome Requiements UWC We get a lot of reports for achievements like "Get the MacGuffin without eating cheese" where the reported flags this UWC with a comment like, "In order to accomplish doing this without getting cheese, the player has to do *big list of steps they didn't find to be obvious*'." This is an attempt to mitigate that kind of thing. --- docs/guidelines/content/unwelcome-concepts.md | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) diff --git a/docs/guidelines/content/unwelcome-concepts.md b/docs/guidelines/content/unwelcome-concepts.md index 21077b45..e7b23461 100644 --- a/docs/guidelines/content/unwelcome-concepts.md +++ b/docs/guidelines/content/unwelcome-concepts.md @@ -118,6 +118,10 @@ When these are acceptable: Achievements with restrictions or requirements that cannot be fully expressed within the description character limit.
