About achievement to get ADS mount

[Morningstar1337]

The real question, is why did they never patch the first ADS mount to mirror the way the new one is handled? I seem to recall SE providing a very, VERY, weak excuse for why this was never done back when Slaughter was released, but I don't recall what their exact reason was. It was flimsy, though.

I think they didn't do that, because they for some reason, can't. As in, I think that the moment a patch goes live the achievements added in said patch become finalized and static. I think the same also applies to other areas such as the Relic (can't program the game to require less books, NQ items, less materia, etc) an Quest (related to the above with Zodiac needing HQ items) maybe also trade in for items sincdieing how the HQ item for the first 2 Master tome sets and the Anima items still need HQ items (time will tell on that).

Point is, SE is unable to nerf achievements for some reason

1win everyday and this guy would have got it in these 3-4months just saying lol. Its annoying to see him on every thread with the same post which has nothing to do with actual topic. Ehm no they are able to change achievements if they want but I dont think they give a fk about it since the black ads is years old.

My problem is that, I change from Maelstrom to Immortal Flame because lately Maelstrom on my data center always on 2nd and 3rd. I wanted continue because my win already 147, but I gained them from Secure to Seal Rock while when I change to Immortal Flame I can get 119 win on patch 3.1 - 3.3 right before Fields of Glory. If only those can merged, I already have my own ADS mount

To be fair, last thread I made I was told to make there, As for the three months thing, you obviously did not read my post previously about the ques taking 4 hours to actually pop. I never strictly said how many months I did it for on either of those threads (it was 3 btw) , 1 win every day of the month would only be in the 90 area, not 100 so yeah....simple facts.

your problem for your queue is maybe you don't queue only in english.
certainly... on chaos in the worst case in flamme gc it can take 20 minute to 1 hour to queue if i set english only.
if i choose all language i can get in queue and not get any game in 4 hours.
some pvp games by day and will get the new ads mount, just try this to see if your queue is not better.

Unfortunately, I don't think that's the case. For one, I'm pretty sure that they've coded changes to Achievements in the past. and, quite frankly, it wouldn't surprise me in the least. They have access to the entire game's code. Technically, there really shouldn't be anything that they can't do. Another point is that they've also said that they've made adjustments in the past; though, I can't confirm if they actually did.

The example that immediately comes to mind was the original achievements for "Between a Rock and a Hard Place" as well as "Behind Enemy Lines." If I'm not mistaken, SE was questioned on these two achievements because they have identical wording but have different conditions. When an SE dev response came through, they basically told us that it was a miscommunication between the original JP text and the English team. They also said that the original JP text in May (at the time) had the same wording but was "ninja fixed" in July. I have no idea if that is true or not, because I don't have a JP version of the game. However, at best that means that they lied to us, and at worst, that means that they can implement changes and simply chose not to.

Personally, it doesn't bother me one way or another in regards to this specific achievement, but I do find it a little concerning when the Dev team shows a lack of interest in making adjustments for sustainability or fixing longstanding issues, no matter how small those issues are. It betrays a lack of commitment to the players, which is kind of sad.

Changing text is one thing, changing code so that wins in Maelstrom, Adders and Flames all count towards the 200 wins (as well as reducing the amount of wins required) is another thing entirely. On the other hand, they did allow the ROG quests to count for the achievement for clearing the level 30 class quests, on the other hand that seems like a relatively simple fix and nether the achievement for getting all 2.0 Jobs 50 or the one for getting all the Relics were changed to require a level 50 NIN or Yoshimistsu
