New Feast KO achievements screw healers... again

Btw I'm mostly HAPPY because they added an Assist Achievement instead of angry because healers won't get it.

And also if you are interested in achievements, how would you get the Melee, Ranged and Tank ones?
If you will get them too, so you will have your kill achievement o.O

Mostly to be balanced I would "like" and Assist achievement for FL too.

There are a million of PvP achievements in WoW. But now that I checked them I see how much undeveloped FFXIV is in this direction. Why there's still no 20 kills streak trophy in Frontlines? Or 30 kills in a single match? Or win a FL match with a score of 1,600 to 0? Or win 10 ranked Feast matches in a row?
There's even 'Emote /Hug on a dead enemy before they release their corpse.' achievement, lmao.
All we have is ultra generic 'win X times' or 'participate X times' with no any skill involved whatsoever.

Well, everyone but tanks can get destroyed in seconds, so the logical consequence would then be to make everyone take less damage so that not only new healers, but every new player regardless of role won't get put off by that! More players overall -> Win, Win, Win!

Genius idea! I suggest a 80% damage reduction flat and removal of culling time, limit break and rotational abilities of tanks and DPS.

They also got that for dungeons:

Most of our dungeons only have the "Mapping the realm" achievement to it - which is damn near impossible to miss with the corridor design. Raids get a whooping 3 clear achievements, whee! WoW in general is far more developed - In no small part because for years it had, like...multiple times the playerbase FFXIV has. Probably still does.

I do miss the 1.0 achievements. They were a little more unique.

Besides what Zojha said it also comes down to their design philosophy. Blizzard has always had this sense of humor and levity in everything they do. So they came up with some crazy ways to do things or beat certain bosses. It's an extra layer of flavor and challenge for players to work on while running the same content.

I don't think SE would ever do something like that in pve or pvp because they want players focused on the content and completing it. A shame to cause some of them were really fun, like when I got my Ironman achievement for capturing all three flags in warsong gulch without dying? It felt great.

...and a comparatively cheap way to add replayability to the content thanks to it. Which is why I am personally baffled they aren't abusing the heck out of it - We're not swimming in content after all. I mean, I can see why they don't want to do certain things in duty finder pugs, as many of the achievements rely on "suboptimal play" or risks (like that comeback achievement in arathi), but why not as option for full premades?

I'd start out with adding one to Zurvan EX: Beat Zurvan without skipping Soar.

Defeat Sophia multiple times on Extreme difficulty each time killing her adds in every possible combination (123, 132, 213, 231, 321, 312).

Defeat Sephirot on Extreme mode while also having each player in the party get killed by his fist slam at least once.

During the battle against Alexander Prime, do the /pray emote when he grows his wings.

Win a Diamon match as DRK :rolleyes:

Gross exaggeration is totally uncalled for. Only healers are lacking in PvP ques and they should be stimulated to que more. More players overall will not make it any faster if there's still the same low percentage of healers every other role is waiting for. And if you ask them, why they don't que more, they'll answer because it's hard to heal in PvP, and these measures will help with it.

Werent the minions exclusive for those that win the seasons only?
