    shouldn't this achievement be marked as missable? because there is no free roam for the DLC when you're done and you have to start a new DLC walkthrough to get balloons you missed. also there is no indicator on which you missed and you can easily miss a balloon at the end of the DLC, forcing you to replay a couple of hours just for a balloon.

    i disagree with alklein92201 argument why "The Party's Over" should not be marked as missable. As I said, even tho balloons carry over through several walkthroughs, you have to start a new one to get whatever you missed, as there is no chapter select and no free roam for the DLC. If you miss a balloon at the end of the DLC, it means you have to replay it ALL.

    Thank you for the submission. However, we are not going to add the Missable flag to Party's Over in Batman: Arkham City since you can get this achievement within 1 hour after restarting the DLC.

    Please read this post written by https://www.trueachievements.com/alklein92201.htm for more information about the 1 hour rule:
    Batman: Arkham City - Achievement Flag submissions
    well if you think it's "normal" or "easy" to be able to get to the very last flag in one hour, then this other achievement shouldnt be missable either, as it "theoretically" can be repeated in less than one hour too:

    on another note, i think a "one hour rule" is quite stupid. not all players are equally good and fast.

    It's your god given right to disagree with the decisions made or to dislike the "one hour rule", but that doesn't change a thing about the fact that you can get this achievement within 1 hour of restarting. If you follow a video guide and skip all cut scenes, you can get the achievement within the hour and with the current flags this means it shouldn't be marked as Missable.

    as said in my last post, if this is the case, then

    shouldnt have a missable flag either, as you can get to that point in less than one hour and do it in 2min. too.

    Missable

    This achievement is Missable, because when you leave some areas you will not be able to return, bypassing the opportunity to unlock it in a given playthrough. There is no level select, the game auto-saves your progress. So if you miss a Harley Balloon you will have to replay the Harley Quinn's Revenge mission from the beginning to get it.

    I understand the 1 hour rule, it makes sense for achievements you can go back and get from chapter checkpoints. Let's say you got 3 balloons on your first playthrough, are you really telling me you can hunt around for and find the other 27 on your second playthrough in 1 hour or under? Using a guide maybe, but using guides should not be a requirement for an achievement not getting the missable flag. What if second time round you still missed a couple in the open area part and one near the end, then a third playthrough is required. Going back to snap flash the Titan I could believe you could get done in under an hour - and yet that is flagged as missable!??

    I'm not the first person to disagree with https://www.trueachievements.com/alklein92201.htm's uncanny ability to find all 30 balloons in under 1 hour without using a guide either.

    I don't like using solutions (although I enjoy writing them). If I pay for a game I like to try and find the hidden stuff the designers put in by myself, not have someone spoil it for me and tell me where they all are. I've had fun finding secrects in games since Wolfenstein 3D and Doom. There was no world wide web back then, so you either found them yourself or waited a month or so for the secrets to be published in a magazine.

    But I can't say having to replay the entire game from the beginning again, and again is particularly fun because you missed a secret but you have no idea when. That is why I created a spoiler free solution, so you know when you can stop searching and move on

    Since the flag revamp earlier this year there is no more one hour rule as far as I am aware. One goal of the revamp was to get rid of all these unwritten rules. Has it been reinstated?

    Thanks https://www.trueachievements.com/HolyHa1fDead.htm

    The missable flag has been added to
    Batman: Arkham CityParty's OverThe Party's Over achievement in Batman: Arkham City worth 152 pointsDestroy all Harley Balloons
    . You are both correct the one hour rule is gone, still getting used to the new flags. If you can miss an achievement then it is missable, the only time this won't apply now is if there is a level select , whereby you can replay individual parts of the game, or in a free roam style game where all areas are unlocked.
    Game Info Monkey. Hit enough buttons I'll get it right eventually.

    LuckyKant has just submitted some Achievement Flag Info for Batman: Arkham City Achievements:

    LuckyKant said:

    Remove collectable. These are side missions, nothing collected.

    Batman: Arkham CityFamily JewelsThe Family Jewels achievement in Batman: Arkham City worth 65 pointsRetrieve your stolen goods

    Main Storyline. The game treats this as a primary objective (green icon says primary whereas side missions are blue, labelled side mission).

    It happens after the Main Story is finished from the Base Game, so is a bit of an epilogue.

    LuckyKant thank you for the submission. The 'AR Knight' achievement was flagged collectable due to how one must traverse the game environment to find the locations that activate the various training exercises. It is similar to how achievements for completing all side missions or discovering all locations on a map are flagged as collectible.

    As for the 'Family Jewels' achievement, there is a discussion earlier in the forum where it was decided that, despite the objective being treated differently than side objectives, since the requirements can only be completed after what is considered to be the end of the main campaign it did not fit the criteria for the main storyline flag.

    For these reasons we will be leaving flags as they are for the time being. Cheers.

    Thanks James12183. As you are the first one to report this, we will not flag it as Buggy- right away. However we will investigate and when we can confirm the issues, we will update the flags.
