Or will I have to wait until the Summer Sideshow event rolls around again, IF it ever rolls around again? I have 8 out of the 13 Summer Sideshow achievements, but just one quick question: does unlocking steampunk Mr.Foster require that you unlock all 13 of the Sideshow achievements (which is impossible at this point), or just enough for the "Punk'd" achievement? If the latter is the case, then I could have a chance at unlocking him, assuming the AbusementPark achievements count as sideshow achievements.

I think the map achievments are not counted towards the 10 oft he 13, could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure they do not

Yeah, I've asked around a bit and can't get a definite answer. Hopefully a TWI representative can tell me directly whether or not the map achievements count. I'm hoping they do, because I really don't want to have to wait a year or be screwed out of the steampunk Mr.Foster skin entirely.

Nope, it's over now.
But if it can make you feel any better, I've unlocked it :p

I know the Christmas "collection" doesn't count map achievements. I started playing after the event was over, and it only counts one of my map achievements.

From your guys' replies, it looks like steampunk Mr.Foster is impossible to unlock at this point. Ah well, it's not a big deal.


Bah, this guy is right anyway:
I've unlocked it but I never use it because everyone and their mom does.

I remember a server where we were 4 steampunk Foster.
I wish we could see other players skin before beginning the game BTW.

Steampunk Mr. Foster cannot be unlocked. He was exclusive to the Summer Event, just like the character given through the Christmas Event. Hopefully, the event will come back another time to give every one else a chance to get the achievements and characters if they did not do so already.

Map achievements aren't cumulative. I'm fairly certain that Steampunk Foster is only unlockable during the Summer event (which has ended). All the Summer specimens are gone now, so none of the non-map achievements are attainable.

The only way I could see someone unlocking Foster now is if they already had the 10 achievements and then completed their first map achievement today.

You can, ask them a question or interact with them, and the portrait that pops up on the left hand side is the skin they use.

Not exactly what you want, i know, but it works well enough and it's all you've got until something better comes along. :)

It works only when the game already begun, in the lobby the portrait doesn't display, or does it, I'm gonna check it out right now.

EDIT: Nope, you were right :)
It does work, I never paid attention before^^
Thanks mate.

Is it still possible to unlock the "Juggling Act" achievement? It's not depending on the summer specimen so I just wonder why I'm not able to get it. Maybe I do it wrong?!

If it's associated with a holiday then you can't get it at any other time than that holiday.

Well, it's possible to get it I would think, if all you need is map achievements.

If you have none, then yes. It's impossible.
