Diablo 4's Boss Man Can't Catch 'Em All: Even Rod Fergusson's Missing An Achievement After 1500 Hours!
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
Even Diablo 4's boss, Rod Fergusson, can't snag all the achievements after nearly 1,500 hours, proving even devs can't escape the completionist's curse. The gaming community is now speculating on which elusive accolade is giving him grief.
Right, so the big cheese at Diablo 4, Rod Fergusson (a legend who's worked on everything from Gears of War to BioShock Infinite, fair dinkum!), has clocked nearly 1,500 hours in his own game. That's, like, serious dedication, right? But here's the kicker: even *he's* missing an achievement.
According to a recent post, as spotted by Game Rant, Fergusson's playtime is sitting pretty at 60 days, 20 hours, and 26 minutes. Blimey! He reckons Season 9 will push him over the 1,500-hour mark. But the real eyebrow-raiser is that, after all that time slaying demons, he's still one achievement short of a perfect Gamerscore. Talk about a first-world problem, eh?
Now, Fergusson's keeping schtum about which achievement is eluding him. Naturally, the internet's gone wild speculating. Some reckon it's "Devout Champion," which requires hitting Paragon 300. Others are betting on "Fearless Combatant," earned by offing 10 players in Hardcore mode. The possibilities! It’s like trying to guess which flavour of Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans you're about to get – could be earwax, could be lawn clippings, could be… well, a missing achievement, apparently.
You'd think, after that much time playing, he'd have hoovered up everything. But Diablo 4’s achievements can be tricky little buggers. And hey, it proves even the people *making* the game are still, y'know, playing it.
Of course, there are some absolute *maniacs* in the comments who’ve apparently doubled Fergusson's playtime. But let's be real, most of us don’t have that kind of time. Plus, if you factor in the years Fergusson's spent *developing* the bloody thing, he probably wins anyway. It’s like comparing apples and, well, incredibly dedicated demons.
As a side note, Diablo 4 had a bit of a wobble recently with the July 15th update, forcing a rollback on PC. Console players like Rod are supposedly unaffected, which is a win for him, I reckon.
What achievement do *you* reckon is giving the Diablo 4 boss nightmares? Let us know in the comments!
