Given that this is becoming quite the community event, would it be worthwhile making the dive easier a little more time friendly with some bean beacons (or beancons if you wish)? I know last year when I dropped over 100 titles it was almost as much work to find the 'easy cheevs' as it was to pop them. :)

Failing that, has anyone set up a blog, or similar, that we could look at for the quickest cheevs to pop?
Can't you just look to see what achievement has the lowest TA ratio?

Three games didn't arrive in time, and two preowned games didn't want to work, so my bean dive is now over for this year. [sadface]

Sometimes that isn't always the 'first' to pop.

wow, gotta say I was quite surprised to see I was in top 4, for biggest divers by completion percentage drop, and I still have about 20 more to start when I get off work. I'm sure I won't be in top for long considering some people have twice as many games as me to start, lol.

Also, really glad I did this because before hand I had a bunch of games I wasn't sure which to do next because I wasn't sure which ones would be fun enough and the likes. But now starting a bunch of them I have realized I'm really gonna enjoy playing a lot of them now because they all seem like really good games.

Would it still be recorded if we dive after the official dive date?

Because I'm in new York visiting my parents and don't go back to California till this Monday.

Just finished my very small Bean Dive, ended up only doing 7 out of the 8 games I was planning, as #8 was getting on my nerves so I removed it. Maybe next time i'll actually get an achievement in Dynasty Warriors Gundam. But these were my Pre-Dive stats:

Completion % - 85.37
Games Played - 169
Achievements Earned - 5,123 (out of 5,998)
Gamerscore - 122,575
TA Score - 185,836

And now my Post Dive Stats:

Completion % - 81.75 (-3.62%)
Games Played - 176
Achievements Earned - 5,141 (out of 6,289)
Gamerscore - 122,840
TA Score - 186,182

I earned 17 achievements in the 7 games I dived and 1 in another game that wasn't part of the dive but I was trying to complete it (and I did).

Games I dived were:

Retail:

Batman Arkham Asylum GOTY
Disney Universe
Dragon Age Origins
Dragon Age II
Lego Batman 2: DC Superheroes

Arcade:

Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes
Shoot Many Robots

TrueAchievement Score: 211,892 / 239,359 (88.52% Completion - 27,467 remaining)

Phew, dive done!! I feel slightly sick now haha.

divedivedive

So pre dive stats were:

Completion: 99.72%
Ratio: 1.7583
GS: 52,740
TA: 92,731

2,453 Achievements out of a possible 2,460 (99.72% Completion - 7 remaining)

Gamerscore of 52,740 out of a possible 52,950 (99.60% Completion - 210 remaining)

TrueAchievement score of 92,731 out of a possible 93,256 (99.44% Completion - 525 remaining)


And now post dive:

Completion: 81.30%
Ratio: 1.7552
GS: 52,965
TA: 92,963

2,473 Achievements out of a possible 3,042 (81.30% Completion - 569 remaining)

GamerScore of 52,965 out of a possible 64,965 (81.53% Completion - 12,000 remaining)
TrueAchievement score of 92,963 out of a possible 112,148 (82.89% Completion - 19,185 remaining)

So that's a completion percentage dive of 18.10% shock
I even made it onto the biggest completion dive leaderboard on the Bean Dive page. Yay!


As before, anyone who wants to add me to their friends list to watch the long, long road back to 100% is welcome to do so clap

Now, where do I bloody start? laugh

Having fun so far. Still have about 30 games to dive. Taking a break to catch the Cardinals game. The diving is a bit slow for me since I have this thing about wanting to play my games once "normal" before I start looking at the achievements, so I'm resisting looking for the easiest first.

Dropped one Kinect game and may have to drop the other two from my list, as i'm having too much trouble with getting the sensor to recognize me to get anywhere.

So I probably spent the most time wandering around in Two Worlds. Wtf am I supposed to do? Where am I supposed to go? Why does everything keep killlinnng meeee! Oh I guess I have points to spend on stats. How the f do I use my magic?

I finally got there tho ;)
