JustSomeBunny Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 This award requires that you return from an elevated mental state to normal. However, I've tried various strategies and nothing seems to trigger the achievement. Does anyone have any suggestions? Specifically, I am wondering does your mental state have to be completely full or only more than normal? How do you return the mental state to normal? My experience suggests that waiting until the mental state resets to normal by default does not count for the achievement. Is there another way to lower mental state other than just waiting for the passage of a day? Thank you guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaTwista Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I started on this one today. I went to where you buy masks and ran over everyone, there seems to be a lot of pedestrians in that area. Got it maxed and now waiting for it to go down. Apparently only goes down over time. Half way left to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weedell Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Do jobs, specifically jobs with other players. (Winning) races used to be the fastest way I knew to lower it, but seems much slower since the last update. Also running around freeroam without shooting anybody or getting stars lowers it reasonably quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaTwista Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Yes that is what I'm doing at the moment. I maxed it and it is half way back to normal already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowfennekin Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I just get out my tank and blow up every NPC car on a massive rampage until I get forced to stop by the cops. Then I take a break for awhile and come back to the game with the bar reset to normal. Working on the platinum medal for it now, got the others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaTwista Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I had my mental state maxed yesterday and it has finally gone down to normal and nothing on the calm down award. InactiveNew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fd1sk Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Same here, and a related one for killing psycho players also doesn't seem to trigger. Tested this with a friend. InactiveNew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammer2k Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Is this been mostly next gen systems that are having trouble with these new awards? I was looking through my old 360 stats/awards and saw a couple tallies for Calm Down, Psycho Killer, and even Moving Day. But I sold my 360 system last fall, and have been on X1 since. I wonder if some kind of bug or glitch happened when I transferred my character? I can't get any of those awards, plus Showroom to budge on the current system.

JustSomeBunny Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 (edited) Definitely seems like many of the awards are bugged on PS4 and I've heard for X1 too but I only have PS4. Edited April 15, 2015 by KatyPerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StangOne50 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 The only awards I have had issues with on PS3 were the one and only and the distract cops. For the calm down I only had to let it go up to 1 bar, then let it drop below the 1st bar. It just has to go from saying Normal to Unstable and back to Normal which usually only takes 1-2 kills and no more than 5 minutes of waiting for it to say Normal again.

Tails Prower Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 A little late to the topic but I also tried working on this the other day after a rage fit at a horrible RP glitch DM and never got anything on the award on PS4. I am going to test on the PS3 tonight and will report back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe you have to raise your mental state to a specific stage, then let it cool down ovwr time. I believe you have to increase your mentality by one bar (unstable) then proceed to be a good citizen until you're normal again. As the award specifically states "unstable." Any mentality above one bar (unstable), the award will not register. I will test this theory shortly. And I am on Xbox One, if this info helps anyone.

luisniko Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 So, we need to sit down until the bar cooled down? I wonder how many minutes for the whole bar to cool down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tails Prower Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Well I got 1/5 on this award over the weekend. I blew the crap out of cops for a good 15 mins or so on Sunday morning after loosing my rag at a capture and got two full bars and half filled the third, then I did nothing violent for the rest of the day in free roam and when I checked this morning I had 1/5 on the award.

InactiveNew Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Can Confirm that the killing physcos and calm down awards are broken and have been for some time. I think a large proportion of people havnt attempted it yet due to heists and so on hence why its not really been brought up on these forums before.

DaTwista Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Killing psychos are working on PS4, I complete the award last night. Calm down doesn't seem to be working yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tails Prower Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Calm down is working on PS3 through, have done some testing on it this morning. Completely filled one bar killing other players so status changed to unstable, did about an hours worth of missions and was back to Normal and 1/.5 on Calm Down. Shortly about to have another look on Ps4. I don't think this works with NPC's/cops, I think it has to be players, report to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've killed cops to fill my bar to unstable, then let it go back to normal; and killed only players to Unstable, and letting it go back to Normal. Nothing budged. This on Xbox 1 too.

Tails Prower Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Yup can confirm its still broken on PS4/Xbox One. I think I know what needs to be done to fix the award on these consoles but wait and see if R* take any notice of my ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luiz_tido Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I've just tried one thing and I think did worked out: I made my Mental State goes a bit over the second bar (the Unstable level), and as soon I saw that, I've just stopped everything until my state returned to the end of the first bar..The result is: Calm Down Award increased.. So.. just put your mental state a little bit on the second bar, and then waits until goes a little bit less on the first bar.. Going from 21% to 19% over and over seems to get that award.. And then, just go again to 21%..Ahh.. I'm playing on PS3.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
