So on my Brutal Completionist it shows that I've done the 14 or so missions I've completed as of now, but Brutal 5 is still saying I only have 7 done.

Happening to anyone else?

Yeah, same with me. A bunch of the stuff is bugged oh well.

Says I've only done 9 missions on brutal (for the 40 points achievement) when I've completed the game on Brutal (all missions) and gotten the Kerrigan portrait too

Nothing you can really do about it though I guess. :\

It happened to me too last night, I had about 15 done but it was only showing 7 =/

I had to reload old saves until I found one that coorelated.. and believe me it took about 2 hours =/ Cause I had to test it by beating another level on brutal and seeing if the counter moved up one. I finally found it, but it is an old file that doesnt have my completion of All In + In Utter Darkness on brutal; the two levels I really hate doing on brutal =/ So I have to redo them, but at least I know il get the achievement.

might be a bug pre one of the recent patches, or you finished them while you were offline (you just dc'ed from the internet when you finished a mission). unfortunatly, there is pretty much no way around this atm, and those missions which arn't recorded, need to be redone.

i went through like 7 missions, when i realized that my interwebs had died.

Have you checked about completing all the objectives. I dont know if it matters, but it might do something.

I am at 1/5 for both Hard and Brutal but have completed all missions on Brutal and also most of them on Hard for the achievements. I'm sure they will patch it in eventually though.

I completed all missions on brutal and got the kerrigan portrait, and couldn't figure out why I only got up to 20ish/25 for the brutal achievement.

Then I realized that I had to do them all on one run-through of the game. I got the Kerrigan portrait by doing some brutal some hard etc through different run-throughs of the game.
So I restarted from scratch, did every mission on brutal this time and got 25 brutal mission achievement
i was driving down the road this november eve and spotted a hitchhiker walking down the street. i pulled over and saw that it was only a tree. i uprooted it and put it in my trunk. do trees like marshmallow peeps? cause that's all i have and will have.

I have that prob again, guess i'll need to redo everything again.
I also am not getting the achieve for mastery that u get for completing all objectives. Most of those category, I am only missing 20 pts from the mastery themselves. Do those need to be done in one playthrough also?

thats a major bug that blizzard is "not commenting on".. theres at least 100 people in the bnet forums complaining about it because its very common.. Myself included, I have 3 of them which are all completed except the mastery =/ its really lame.

Wish blizzard would fix these achievements.. the only ones im missing in the whole campaign is the 500K Lost viking, the Brutal 5/10/15etc bug, and the Mastery bugs.. so two bugs + an annoying minigame which ill probably beat this week. but the bugs wont be fixed =/

Yeah the counter for the brutal missions accomplished is bugged for me too. Also I didn´t get the mastery achivments(the ones where you have to do all the other achivments for and get the pic) for the colonists, covert, artifact and rebels altough i´ve done all the required achivements already. Really wanted that Tychus pic .( I hope blizzard fix that because even doing it again doesn´t work for me.

I heard there was a bug to fix this issue, something about loading the game right before you finish a brutal mission, and it will count again in the counter.. So you basically beat one mission, and load the end 25 times and it does 25 wins for you?? Anyone heard of this?? I tried it on the very first mission of the game but it didnt update..

if anyone could figure out that trick, it'd be greatly appreciated.. I dont wanna do all 25 brutal missions over again just because bnet is retarded and wont count my previous completion =/

Read about it on the bnet forums from someone, maybe someone who posts there often can go PM him?

The brutal achievement is based off how many mission you first beat as brutal on your playthrough of the campaign. Your progress is recorded from the # of missions you first beat on brutal difficulty from the last time you saved a game. If you play 24/25 on brutal, load a game 1/2 way through the campaign and save the progress will think you're at 13/25 or whatever. The achievement is NOT for pure # of missions beat on brutal. Missions completed via the archives do not count towards the total.

The only way to get this achievement is to start on mission 1 and clear the whole campaign on brutal - 1 mission (if you do the secret mission).

If you beat 2+ missions on hard in your campaign play through you cannot get this achievement without starting the campaign over.

I don't think you can get the Brutal 5/10/15/20/25 if you play through on a different difficulty (e.g., beat the game on hard, then go back and play brutal one-offs via archives).

My friend had the same issue. I suppose game considers it cheating because you could technically get research points on hard difficulty and then have the research bonus for a brutal mission. Just playing it from the start as full brutal resolved it. Who knows why you can get Brutal completionist that way though..

Right but was it intended? I would think with the replaying on Hard/Brutal counting towards all other achievements, this is just bugged and should count. I guess when Blizzard acknowledges this and makes a statement, we will know if it will be 'fixed' or not.

well Im starting over again and beat the first 3 missions on brutal but its still stuck on the old brutal counter =/

The mistake I made last time though, is since I beat the first 4 missionsa lready on brutal my first playthru, I thought I didnt need to include those so i rushed those in normal mode then did the rest of the game in brutal, but I guess thats only gonna give me 23 missions (cause the secret ones/choice missions dont count apparently).. so now I have to do the whole thing over again apparently.. its really retarded =/

I actually had the opposite happen to me. Upon finishing my 21st brutal mission, I ended up getting the Brutal 25 achievement. Not sure how the hell that works, but whatever.

its pretty bugged atm. i was supposed to be 17/20 for the 20brut achiev but it registered me as 16/20, so i replayed the mission it didnt count(i started the day at 15/20 and was checking after each mission to make sure it was counting) and it gave me both 20 brut and 25 after replaying the one it didnt register. so yea it gave me the 25 brut achiev after having only done 17.

The problem is as follows...

You need to do the 5/10/15/20/25 Brutal missions on Brutal the first time you attempt that mission in that campaign. If you hit abort mission, you fail, if you do it on normal/hard first, you fail. This is what I was told anyway.

The Mastery Achievements.
You have to have all the mastery tech upgrades at ONE TIME in ONE campaign to get, say, Infintry tech Mastery.

its the same with the hard missions. I had 16-17 complete on hard with only getting 5 and 10 hard mission achievements, then i completed one random mission on hard and i got 15, 20 and 25 achievements at the same time.

I have a similar problem. For me though, I have brutal 10/15/20/25 unlocked, but for some reason I still don't have brutal 5 unlocked. Can't seem to get it fixed either.

I have the kerrigan icon + arctrus megnsk since i did all missions on hard/brutal, but I don't have the Brutal: 5 and Hard: 5 maxed out. The GM that replied told me their department can't fix it and the only way it can be fixed is a future patch.

So...

I had a bug where I got brutal 10 for beating the first zeratul mission, then I got brutal 15 when I replayed it because I forgot to kill a hatchery.
