Feedback - Achievements system

[RonEmpire]

I think this whole achievement thing is just going to open a whole new can of worms of various different types of complaints. Depending on the achievement requirements.

Will we see achievements that require people to use gems to complete?
Example: "Own 2 workyard", "Own 1 Battle Harden General"

Will we see achievements that require people to always be available during Events? (and for those who missed an event can't complete".
Example: "Own 2 Grimm Reapers", "Own 4 Gold Towers"

Useless buildings required for achievement. (buildings that you wouldn't normally want to build)
Example: "Upgrade a Residence to level 5", "Own 2 Magnificent Residence"


I guess we will wait and find out when the achievement list is posted. Just saying. And if any of the above or similar shows up in the achievement list. I called it first here. And man, I will have to draw a final conclusion that, Developers must really be out of touch with the game, and loves to punish players or just drive players away.

how about some new advs?

Please discuss the upcoming Achievements system here. Please keep in mind that feedback on test server features is only collected and escalated on the test server forums. This thread is just a place to discuss the feature until it goes live!

Could not have stated it any better Wimpy.

Without knowing what is really going on, you can't be sure that this lame achievement system isn't some introduction to a PvP points system, things are generally introduced in stages.

what about all the other "features" that should have gone live? what about finishing the mail system? Why don't they finish the things they've already planned before planning new things? You know like the easter event....!!

hiya

A little over a year ago or so I posted a very in depth article on an achievement system for this game, as opposed to the events that you guys were running. I always thought it odd that the post was pulled.

Now I am not saying my idea was unique or anything like that, heck I admit to borrowing the notion from WoW. A few months ago I even requested from the forum monitors if they could at least pull that article back so I could expend on it.

So I was surprised to see an achievements system being implemented!

What I want to know is this ... in my plans I had as a reward a building called "The Adventurers Hut", at lvl 1 it would decrease scout time by 1% over anything granted by the skill system, to a 5% decrease at lvl 5 for the building. Is this gonna be in here too????

I would still love for you guys to put my post back in the forum, I did work hard on that and I would like to see if you were listening to me about it.

And yes, I even had the idea that you could view other people achievements too.

[Didn't want to copy/paste into a new thread, but I looked for the old post you mentioned. It was never deleted or pulled, was just in one of the older pages in General Discussion. Link.)

We should have some Avatar customization capability based on our achievement level.... like an ALL GOLD GRILL for level 5 gold chains. WHAT! *lil john voice* (That last part was comedy but the recommendation is real... Do it. DO IT BB. Now back to your wiindowless holes and no water until we have PVP!!

I checked out the test server.


The achievements aren't terribly bad.

BUT the major problem I have is the Science Skills specialization. Forcing you to spend books on useless talents and skills. Wasting away your books and geo/gem(to refund books after completing achievement).

I would get rid of the Science System achievements honestly.

It's bad enough that you forced us into spending our books a certain way for the Quests.

It's not an 'achievement' - it's more like punishment.

agreed, the skill stuff if not good, books are too expensive to toss into useless skills.

you should post that exact comment on the test server. otherwise it falls on deaf ears on the live server.
