Achievements starting at 0 for everyone?

A recent post from Yoshi-P, translated by Reinheart, seems to suggest this. Although not very clear, I really hope this doesn't mean what I think it does.

If this applies to all new achievements it hardly seems fair. Many people would never be able to achieve Level up, Aetheryte and Quest achievements, among others.

Can we get any confirmation on this?

Edit: Bahhh, just noticed there's another thread about this already >< My bad

Are Achievements retroactive?

Some of them will be impossible to do over again unless quests/etc are able to be repeated.


EDIT: Which I do not mind doing. I want to see all my awesome gear in more cutscenes :<

That's exactly what I'm concerned about.

Sadly they may only be obtainable by making a new character. However, I would rather we got credit for the ones for lvling and such and also reaching aetheryte camps and gates. Some of those were quite challenging to obtain solo and fun.

There was a post from a French Dev, which basically said that "some" Achievements from the History will be carried over. He also said we should wait for more Infos.

I mean some Stuff would be impossible to Repeat. i.e. Getting Classes to 50. You cant delevel those, so you would be stuck.

I hope I don't have to kill 100,000 enemies all over again, that would suck.

It likely depends on the existing data structure. If the achievement is based off of information that has been tracked, then you'll probably get credit. If they are adding a new attribute that hasn't been set/populated/tracked up until now, then you won't get credit.
