Achievement ideas!~

We all know that the achievements will bring titles. Though, will those titles bring something to us? I am talking about stats here people! I think it would be cool if titles gave us some stats. Example: Adventurer Association Assistant; Maximum HP+3, Maximum Stamina+12. You only get those stats when you equip that title. Though you can only change a title once a day/week or something. Give your achievement ideas!

Disclaimer: not an original idea, stole it from Mabinogi.

Nobody? D: disappoint

thats a good idea, and here i was thinking about trophy support for the ps3 version. i actually want both

Noone else has any ideas? or comments D: or hate?

Too much stat management, not enough gameplay. IMHO, no thanks.

We have (or will have):
Stat Allotment
Gear Management
Materia Management

We don't need to juggle anymore stats.

I wouldn't mind if they did this but in the form of certain affinities with game mechanics. For example, this achieve/title can grant you xx% resistance to Sleep (or Stun, or what-have-you). Things of that nature, eh, not so bad.

Sure, I'll throw in my two gils worth here. (Which, unfortunately, still isn't worth as much as Gath's 1 gil. =\ )

There was a thread from months back started by Jynx, I believe, that talked about implementing an achievement system and what type of things that we'd like to see. And I always liked the idea of gaining permanent, albeit small, bonuses to your character for accomplishing certain achievements. My ideas revolve around my OCD type of behavior in games, earning tiered rewards for killing so much of a certain type of creature.

For example, killing 250 Coblyns, gives a character a small defense bonus against coblyns. The next tier, I get a small attack bonus, the next better drop rates, etc.

This tickles my fancy.

I started posting a response after you created this topic (I'm the sole +1 so far), but then decided it ultimately wouldn't work out. My idea was to have titles be unique, so that no one can have the same title, but the amount of titles they'd have to create and the reasons for obtaining those titles would be a logistical nightmare.

I'd rather stats not be linked to titles, so I can use the titles I like, rather than the ones that give me a certain relevant stat.

well the stats would be minimal, in mabinogi, I just equipped the title that I liked best. So, it wouldn't be detrimental in anyway. I also hope they don't give out how to achieve these titles. That way we have to go out and find them ourselves.

The thing that has me on the against side for stats attached to titles is as follows.

No mater how minor the boosts are there would be one "Best" title to have. No mater how you slice it that's just how the min max crowd works. There would be little to no variety on the titles players chose to use. and players would be looked down on by others for not having "the best" title available. And you just know that the best stats would be attached to some horrible title, Something the equivalent of Jerky poo face.

Ya, that is a problem, but that is why we discuss it on here :P. They could just be stats that are trivial as well, or when you unlock em, they are permanent stats. Sooo: Killer Buffalo will give me +5str, so I will have that +5 str but will be able to equip a different title?

Now if the stats were a permanent boost I would be a little more willing to see something like that put in.

How ever that could lead to the opening of a whole other can of bees with balancing and of course there would still be the issue of "What do you mean you don't have x or y". Though the balancing thing does some what fly out the window when you take materia into account.

I would also think that much like materia there would be a hard cap on how high given stats could be boosted via titles (there goes that pesky balance thing again).

Really this is how Guildmarks should have been implemented

Defeat tons of coblyns like mentioned a few posts above, then you get coblyn-defence or coblyn-killer equiable trait

Defeat tons of birds and you get a .... and so on.

Defeating NMs for example would grant other types of traits like a more general critical attack increase

^this. It doesn't matter how big the bonus is, people will start requiring it and if you don't have it you're gimp and need to gtfo.

I like the idea of adding titles but they should just be cosmetic in nature otherwise, as Griss mentioned, you're opening up a lot more problems that are a nightmare to solve.

Thing is, nobody will know if you have it or not. So that wont be an issue.

That would take us a step closer to the phys. level that they just abolished

How is that? People don't know what abilities you have learned, still they require you to have sentinel for Ifrit, for example.

That said, being able to change title only, say, once a week, with a cooldown between "uses", as you seem to suggest in OP, seems fair.

Having strong restrictions (could even add a bit of randomness here) would make it work more like a real bonus, instead of another stat management tool that is needed, expected by the player base

I don't know, I think these achievement things, could be an amazing thing, I'm just throwing stuff out, and hope it hits something!

They might require it, but you could always just lie. Granted, it's fairly easy to check if someone has Gladiator leveled enough to have Sentinel and if they have it set in their action bar (and have activated it.)

I have probably built up the achievement system as something bigger and better than it really is, but I still find myself looking forward to it.

The only problem with this is that associating a stat with a title is that most people will gravitate towards a certain one "for optimization" rather than what they want.

Just make it to where certain achievements (or all of them, but SE is kind of lazy, so I wouldn't expect this) give you certain items that are cosmetic only. I've said it before in another thread, but make the items something like an Aetheryte Wand for syncing with all the camps around Eorzea, or a Coblyn hat (shaped like the crystals on their backs) for killing X amount of them. No stats, level 1, all classes can equip. Just something fun to go for.

I think if you get all the achievements or half of em then all of em, you get like a set of cosmetic gear. I'm pretty sure people don't want gear floating around everywhere. The thing is on the stats with the achievements, nobody will know you will have it or not, its like a hidden effect. Nobody is going to really care, like I said the stats would be minuet. They don't even have to be stats, they could be run 2% faster, regenerate anima 2% faster(i hate anima).

Now, I would like to kinda change topics if you guys want. What kind of things would you guys like to do to earn achievements?

I agree, I think it should be small things and not necessarily stuff that would have an impact during battle. The lower tier bonuses should be fairly easy to achieve, something you can do after a few hours of playing, while the high tier bonuses require a little more dedication of time and effort.


As for what type of achievements I'd like to see. Sticking with some of your examples, after running a certain amount of maims, you get an ever so slight speed bonus. Further distances increase the speed further, maybe topping off at 5-10%. Another possible achievement could be using 1000 anima and your body becomes more in tune with it increasing your anima regeneration slightly. (4.5 every 8 hours. Next tiers: 5, 5.5, 6, etc.)

I'd prefer there would be no upper limit, just an insane amount of effort to reach. (I like long term goals that I can work towards, getting ever so closer with each teleport. For those familiar with FFXI, think relic weapon type of effort.)

In the anima example above, the progression of anima usage could increase something like: 1000, 2000, 5000, 10000, 20000, 50000, etc. Even using 1000 anima at the current rate of regeneration would take a while to reach. It would take months just to reach the higher tiers and it wouldn't require anything other than just playing the game and being loose with your teleports.

one achievement I would like to see, would be one that showed you payed for all the months, getting that mount reward or whatever. Or something else, I don't like the new mounts to well D:

There could be some fun, silly achievements too.

The Live To Fight Another Day achievement. Earned by successfully running away X number of times from a mob at your level higher when you have less than 100 HP.

A repeatable achievement (one that restart itself once completed) that reward the player with a consumable item (such as confetti, fireworks, etc.)

That way, once in a while, you get some consumable to throw around and have fun with. :D

Like the idea, but I prefer them being passive traits.
Granted we don't know what the 300+ list contains but it'll be nice to have...

[Self multilation Achievements]
"Shot through the heart" achievement - For receiving 9999+ damage.
(Means you went somewhere you are not supposed to :p)
-> Gives 1% damage reduction vs critical hits (because you are now paranoid so you wear an extra metal plate near your heart)

"Hades' Favored I/II/III/IV..." - For being KO-ed X-times
-> Slight reduction of down time for being KO-ed (because of been that done that)

[Mob killing Achievements]
"Sheep Shearer" - For killing 1000 Karakuls
-> Allows sheep mobs to drop 1 extra item (because practice makes perfect)

"Snurble De-Tufter" - For murdering 1000 Snurbles.
-> Allows snurbles to drop more tufts (because practice makes perfect)

[Being lucky Achievements]
"Luck of Legends" - For making a 5-materia item.
-> +1% chance when making Forbidden Materia melds (because you are just that god-damn lucky)

"Tiffany" (or any other famous brands) - For making 100 HQ GSM item from NQ items
-> +1% chance of getting HQs from NQs (because you are that gifted craftsman)
-> Similar achievements for every craft.

[Finishing Move Achievements]
"Burnt to a crisp" - Killing 1000 mobs with Flare (+1% damage to Flare)

"Slow over a stove" - Killing 1000 mobs with Burn (+1% damage to Dot effect)

"BBQ Skewerer" - Killing 200 mobs, 5 at a time with Skewer (+1% to ATK Bonus from multiple mobs)

etc etc etc

Finally....

Think someone played too much Fallout 3 / NW.
Eitherway i like it lol

Id also like to see stupid / funny titles as reward.

No. Because then I'd have to choose the "optimal title" and people won't invite me unless I have a "certain title" rather than using whatever the hell title I want.
