(even since the announcement of the system i've put on 100's - it's not counting them either)....
seems broken to me....
and personally - i could care less about the 'measuring against other players "mines bigger than yours"' game... i didn't join to compare myself to others.
same things here... asking me 100 manuscripts 50 tome and 20 codex to produced . i already produced lot and stopped now because costing me lot or no need to produce more, all my explorers and geos pretty much done. log in month 6 months and year , been logging here more than a year every single day. I havent gotten any rewards ( gems, gc ) that from completed quests. i just looked at 5 mins and i can order more but didnt surprise. kinda knew wont be perfect and broken. hope they will fix all them and get our rights, especially playing for long time and loyal players we need to get respect from developers.
thanks
BBs and Devs are aware of problems I am sure fix for them will be swift
ok this player seems to be delirious get him medical attention STATQuote:

Hi guys,
All your feedback will be passed along. Just to clarify, although some of the achievements are retroactive (such as reach level 10, level 20, etc), most only started counting during initial activation of the Achievements system on May 5th. Most achievements will only reward achievement points, though some do reward gems or coins for completion. If you are experiencing bugs with the achievement system, please contact Support as well.
At least I have a Beta Memorial.
Im curious to know why or how it is that some people have more achievements available then others... Click Compare Achievements and i could have 13/14 and the other player has 16/16 or 10/10 and they have 12/12..for the exact same section... and this is not the only section that has it... How can one have more available than another player? Hardly makes it fair looking at it
Sorry I am so dense. Where do I click compare achievements?
click friend's avatar, wimpy
TYVM for helping the old guy out.
Question: Why didnt i receive my gems/gold???
Answer: you did, you just didnt get any notice of it. items were just auto added.
you would have gotten them when the first phase kicked in 2 weeks ago
see this thread for more info: forum.thesettlersonline.net/threads/15894-Official-Patch-Notes?p=236368#post236368
this has been very confusing for many people.
So what is the goal of the achievements? What is the payoff for the player? Will players really be interested in trying to complete these achievements? Was there ever a survey for this? As pointed out there are many people that want other aspects of the game improved, but those (from the players) have gone unfulfilled. Instead we receive what the developers want. Reminds me of the mentality of America car manufactures in the 1960s. We all recognize that no one forces us to play; however, it would be nice for the production management staff to poll players and then seriously work on those issues, or at the very least address them full and truthfully.
ditto
I feel some of these achievements are really bad. Just Toxic ways to do adventures.
This is not cool at all.
Thanks for another set of Quests of achievement that I have no desire to do.
Once again you slight the long time players by making them do again things they did long ago.
Did BB sell the company to a group of shady characters working out of a back room in Estonia?
Also i notice the new achives cant be dont with MMA generals.... Just spent a lot of gems and eggs on them just so i can leave them home?
I just finished Dark priests in under 2 hours using only recruits, elites and cavalry while losing only recruits ... That should have completed all 4 achievements however it didn't complete "Close-up Blessings" (Complete The Dark Priests without using any ranged units.) Also on the compare achievements under [General]>[Home Island] the person you are comparing to has an extra achievement that is not shown worth 100 points. Again under [Economy]>[Buildings] there is a hidden achievement that is apparently worth 130 points. Under [Military]>[Generals] there seems to be 2 hidden achievements that are worth 180 points together.
I forgot to add that I was using my MMA generals, hope this helps getting things sorted.
I ran "The Dark Brotherhood" without using crossbows or cannoneers. I got credit for all of the others, but not for the last quest. I used 2 MMAs.
I also ran "The Witch of the Swamp" without using soldiers. I got credit for all of the others, but not for the last quest. I used MMAs as well.
On the other hand, I ran the Secluded Experiment using 2 MMAs as well and I got credit for all quests. The SE quest does not have any "don't use" clauses.
I did The Lost Skull using MMA, 191E, 99R, 55M: all achievements cleared except the "without using" one ... so I take it that any achievements that says "without using ..." means that you can't you a MMA general as well?Quote:

No, what others use doesn't matter. I ran a SA using militia and tagger only killed 2 rec and received credit for not killing any militia on the SA adv. quest. The same on SotV, 2 players shared the adventure. Quest says 'losing less than 1300 rec'. Combined we lost more than 1300 rec. and the quest completed. On BK, if you buy/swap a ls, you get credit for completing w/out using xbow and cannon, even though the runner used them. Nords, VtV, ML, RB, and DB are the same if you buy/swap ls, but DON'T use MMA general to tag.Quote:

For example, Skills > Specializations > Surplus is not registering that I have invested more than 3 books in the copper surplus and the gold mining surplus. On the other hand, my guild mates and I are enjoying the new challenges - thanks!

Aside from the fact that I don't know whether I'm receiving awards and just simply assume I am, half the time I have no idea what achievements I have just completed either. I'll see my achievement points just randomly go up and not know why.
The rewards are sent to your storehouse right after you complete an achievement. There's a quick pop up to say that. The pop-up is quick and easy to miss/ignore.Quote:

But I would like to see it go bigger... storage, population, lvl 5 buildings.... all too easy... I personally like almost impossible quests... ridiculous quests... pointless have to be crazy to even want to try quests. like 4 million storage, or.. lol.. slightly more population than Imma.. whatever that is.. or was.. , or 300 lvl 5 buildings...
and I'm probably still under what some people already have.. idk but I think it just needs to be expanded.. never underestimate the power of nothing better to do :|
We will need a bigger island for that.Quote:

I just learned that players can get credit for an achievement by "tagging" on a loot spot (not losing a soldier etc) eveb if the other players DO lose soldiers.
this is both INCONSISTENT with quests in the game AND CHEAPENS the achievement . Tsk Tsk
Yes, very true. Perhaps an entry by mail would be in order. Like the loot for an adventure. That would allow the players to review their accomplishment(s) and be able to verify when rewards are given; at present we have to just take the software's 'word' for it that it issued said rewards.Quote:

Agreed. The ls has been abused, with no end in sight.Quote:

An interesting note would be that if the ls player were to use cav in an adventure, the primary player WILL NOT get credit for a cavalry free adventure. So, the requirement seems to affect the primary player and not the ls player(s).
Addendum: I note that some adventures do not get figured into the achievement system, e.g. Invasion of the Nords, Fairy Tale adventures..
