Please Don't Remake the Tank Achievements Req

[Svalitz]

I really want to know what a DRK will ride around on >.>.

Um. duh.

200 high level runs are more than enough. They wouldn't increase it mostly because we're not the only ones playing this game. There are going to be new players as well. The tank achievement is not the main goal of the game and it doesn't requiere any adjustment even if new content is being added.

Please read my posts. >.< I'm not saying to increase the number of runs! I'm saying to NOT increase the requirement to level 60 to be eligible to gain credits towards this achievement!

I actually am still confused what these "High Level Runs" are exactly.

I've been a tank for most of my XIV play time, and still only have something like 30/200 for this achievement. And why doesn't Crystal Tower count at all? >.>

Ugh, I apologize. Someday I'll learn english... Probably these are going to be added to the current challenges, not replaced. You'll have ex primals, raid content and the new ex primals+raid content. As far as I get it, they are only allow you to run without level/gear sync in pre-50 dungeons, which doesn't include raid/ex-primals (and makes sense, since there are multi-player mechanics). So, leaving said content as it is now, I feel like they won't change that, they'll just include the new content.

the achievements themselves are hilariously pointless.

they only reward tanks who tank in the content where there is no dearth of tanks (outside of the duty finder, but pugging those fights is extremely unreccomended to begin with)

but for the content that DOES require tanks (pugging) you don't get progress toward them at all.


combined with how godawful low level tanking is, and square enix is putting the incentive/reward in the completely wrong place...really, they just need to redefine it to be using the duty finder, or at the very least allow expert roulette dungeons to count as well.

I sure hope so. D:

I agree here. I was a bit upset, as were a lot of other tanks, when they said the achievement would only count with EXPrimals and Coils. It definitely deterred a lot of people who were considering leveling tank to not do it.

From what I understood when they announced the achievements and mounts, it sounded like they would be rewarding people who picked up tanking as a completely new tank. That the achievement credit would include dungeons for tanks just leveling up.
It was quite upsetting to find out that instead it was rewarding existing tanks with statics; leaving out the low level dungeons that are in dire need of tanks for their queues.

Well in order to be a tank for your static, you gotta level up.

See.. the way Yoshi-P worded how the achievement would work when it was announced; it sounded like it would be rewarding new tanks. Not just existing ones. To a majority of us it sounded like we would get credit AS we leveled up. A lot of people don't main tank in end game raids because it's not their thing. Sure they may do it once in a while to help a friends queue go faster, but they are not end game tanks and they do not feel comfortable tanking things like t13 or any coil or EX primals for that matter.

Heck, I don't have a static and I was looking to be a tank for people to get their queue moving and I thought I'd get credit because of this. But to have it not be like this upset a lot of people when the achievements were first released.
