New commendation Achievement

As most players have already reached 3k comms by now, I think the dev team could implement the next step of the achievement. Maybe with a cool glamour to boot. Something like 10k comms? or maybe 15k. At least would make it useful past the 3k

Most players? It's the 51st rarest mount on Lalachievements

by "most players", do you mean you?

I've been playing since 3.3 and I only got the 3k achievement a month or so ago.

I've had it since 2018, but I've only gotten 1700 comms since. I don't really go for them and tend to leave instances immediately tho.

I've been playing since 4.1 and I got the 3k achievement on two characters :D

I have just hit 1077 since returning on my new main at the end of 2020... then again, I am bad at the game so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I think 5000 commendations would be a good milestone if they ever add a new achievement tied to them.

If they wanted to add another achievement, that's fine, but I doubt "most" people have the 3k one.

Might as well add one but "everyone has it" is a poor argument.

awful coinflip achivement

we need less of that type of poo in the game

Yea I mean, obviously there are always new players coming so its not literally everyone. But if you play this game for some years then its pretty easy to get

it's honestly luck. me and a friend have been playing since roughly the same time (since 2020) but theyre already at 2k comms while im at 1.3k. we both play at the same skill level, and we both pretty much no life the game.

They should add new ones for all these kinds of Achievementsim , at least let me reach a new milestone. doesnt have to have a reward lol

Im on... idk, 4k or more by now? You used to get a lot if you guided parties of newbies though trials lol

Not everyone in the game constantly runs roulettes and Duty Finder.

You get 0 comms from clearing endgame content (since it's usually PF or static), Trusts or earning tomes via hunt trains. So it really depends what content you prefer.

7,380. I stopped caring about comms ages ago.

This is just a natural result of playing mostly tank and healers in duty finder (sorry dps, unappreciated job when you play well).

No. 3k is already enough of a slog before you even start getting in to the rampant comm begging that would erupt if everyone suddenly needed several thousand more of the damn things.

It'd be nice to get a new prize with nicer textures. The existing coat and crown are a lil crunchy, and longtime players could do with a new goal to get them in roulettes again.

Lifer 4 would do a better job (or one for doing roulettes directly). Or another mob extermination one. Haven't had one since heavensward, and I got that first kill lol.

Simply by being the last to leave a group you can usually get a lot of easy commendations, especially on reset day when people are throwing them out there randomly for the challenge log entry.

I tend to get a lot simply by being a healer in PvP, especially in Frontlines.

I don't think 10k is doable. People don't commend as much as they did before. Too much salt in game lately.

I barely got 5k commends and I've been playing since 2015. It'll take you a very, very, long time to get to 10k, if you ever do.

5k or a 7k goal would be nice, 220 left for 7k :D, but guess what it doesn't matter which item cause ppl will complain like the forum always does

Edit: tried to upload a screenshot but didn't work sadly

Speak for yourself.

Been going at this game since the tail end of HW/early SB, and still not broken through 1k total commends.

This. On main, after capping all classes (which happens pretty quickly after a new expansion), the only DF thing I do is expert roulette, and I guess weekly normal raids, unless I need some relic mats. All my time on main is spent on non-DF stuff, and my DF time is spent on alts. I guess if I was to sum up all my comms acros all characters I'd have a lot more but ye. Usually when people are done levelling they don't really spend time doing roulettes, and even in DF they mostly queue with friends.
So ye add a new category or whatever, but I doubt a lot of people have the current highest achiev.

Not against the idea but I don’t care. All I have to say is that comms are given arbitrarily most of the time and depend heavily on which job you are playing and what kind of content you do rather than the quality of your game play.

They don’t reflect how well you do and many people just blindly give them to the healers for...healing them! I got 6 comms in an AR (CT) run yesterday on an astro I was levelling for doing pretty much nothing other than spamming group heals occasionally and babysitting that one dps. I rarely do ARs but they are an easy source of comms for healers.

If you are a tank, you get less comms than a healer but you still get them regularly and somewhat steadily.

If you play a dps, it is down to luck: you can have a pretty much perfect run, take only unavoidable damage, be the lone survivor and finish the boss by yourself, parse significantly higher than everybody else (we can’t talk about it and the game doesn’t provide feedback) on a job that should be near the bottom and get nothing at all. You can also get comms randomly for doing nothing special or even if you do stupid things.

Then, many don’t care at all about giving comms and if you queue with friends, there are none.

Maybe we need achievements for giving out comms as well, to give people an incentive. I mean, plenty of people still won't care anyway, but some will do it just for the achievements.

Or you get the opposite. Had half the party I was with go down at the end of a dungeon and managed to save it before we wiped with DPS playing tank. Finish the rest cleanly, get 0 comms. I'm rarely disappointed when I don't get any but in those situations...it's a little like wtf lol.

I am definitely not against more goodies, I only have 5000something right now but it’s definitely not based on how well Im doing, I have times where I can rescue the whole party from wiping and get nothing, and times where Im basically half asleep sipping coffee more than doing damage, forgetting to give cards and get commendations like....Im not mad thenk but I really don’t know what it truly depends on.

You get less comms the closer you are to Endwalker contents then when its time to grind the newest tomestones people be speedrunning dungeons and you get none most of the time.

This the reason why I love sprouts. Theyre mostly good little cabbages. The 90 level players are like robots sometimes. I always give comms ever since I knew the feature existed though. If everyone did bad I always give it to the one that did least errors.

Been playing for 2 years and I have 4195 comms so I guess obviously I'd like to see maybe some new commendation achievements, but doesn't seem necessary either.

Preposterous. Now if you said 4196, then I would be inclined to agree.

god no. We already have people giving them randomly cause of the weekly challenge, we don't need another reason for people to give random comms without merit.
And then people wonder why there are worthless mentors.

People give comms for any reason. I have received comms purely because of my glamours several times.

Played since 2.1 and am currently at 2072 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. I just do most content with friends/premades.
Don't really mind if they add new ones for commendations, but would rather have some more interesting achievements than "Do X 10,000 times". Also looking at Island Sanctuary there.

Saving multiple times a 30+ minutes 24 man raid by ver-rezing everyone when healers aren't doing properly their job and way too much people aren't moving out of the aoes : zero coms.

Doing a 10 seconds "under the armor" guildhest as a healer, where i don't need to launch a single healing spell : 3 coms.

Yes, we really need more commendations achievements to show how good we are at the game XD

Who said there is a relation between comms and how good you are in the game? There is no such thing, ppl comm because they like your glam or because you were helpful or any other reason. This was never intended to show how "good" you are in the game lol

Started this account in 5.3. Not even 1k yet and mostly play healers.

Commendation should be given to the most helpful, greatest contributing or most valuable player in the party.

Pretty sure this is what it tells you when the game discusses commendations. Not that you have to of course, but this was of course the intent.

There's no use policing it though, it is what it is, but it is something people should remember when they deal with battle mentors that don't have any clue of what's going on.

Yes please I'm at 7500 and I already leave instantly after a duty so I don't get more. There's no "pride" in making that number bigger, while your at it give a new tier to mentor roulette as well.

It doesn't need to be mounts, maybe a title or a weird fashion item, its not about being "superior and having rare mounts" but it feels kinda meh right now.
