Please off "Achievements Current Are" pop

[Saikoh]

You guys could always just do the achievements to get it to stop.

Yes, let's do every achievement in the game so that we don't have to worry about a pop-up box. That seems way easier than making an option to hide it.

I get that not everyone is stressed out by a timer counting down on their screen, but it catches my eye and is a huge distraction for me. There are times where I may be zoning every few minutes.

I agree with this complaint. It is annoying and distracting and I want to be able to turn it off INDEFINITELY. I don't want them on area change, I don't want them on log in. When I want to see my Achievements and try and fill them all, I will look it up! I don't need constant reminders that I still have some pending! I tried just ignoring it but it's just hard to miss!

What we achievement hunters wanted: a means to track achievements that we're working on the same way as quests (eg., selecting one at a time to go in the duty list so we can actively watch it progress).

What EVERYONE got: this obnoxious crap that doesn't stop or go away, no matter what we do or don't select, and nobody that I know of actually wanted.

Basically SE going full Squeenix on the achievement system.

I have mine turned off in the settings and it doesn't show up. Even if it is there what's the big deal? Everyone on here is acting like it's the end of the world, it's not. Yea maybe it needs to be fixed, and they'll fix it, but the game is still 100% playable.

This makes absolutely no sense. " SE going full Squeenix." ??? As opposed to only being a half of themselves or a quarter of themselves? Everything they do is " full squeenix. " you can still play the game, quit acting like they banned you.

No, we're treating it like an unnecessary nuisance.

It makes perfect sense, actually. Just because you don't understand it, personally, doesn't mean it doesn't.

There are times where it seems like SE will act like a competent gaming company, be it as a developer or a publisher. There are times when they make minor mistakes, as anyone might. And then there are times when SE tries to reinvent the wheel on the simplest of things, and it not only doesn't work out but it sometimes leads to people wondering what in blazes they're smoking over there.

If they wanted to spur people on to do achievements, maybe they could have worked on more incentives like more rewards to buy with achievement points, not this intrusive eyesore that we ended up with.

That, and maybe make the achievements more meaningful than "Do X at least Y-thousand times." Create neat little conditions for people to try out and accomplish, and the achievement system would improve greatly.

Also: the achievement sound effect. The current chime is... eh? While I don't want FFIV to become WoW, I must draw a comparison in how ~that~ game's chiev sound effect is more fulfilling and feels more like you DID A THING!

I agree with you two both. I too played WoW before FFXIV. And even though I, like Aster, don't want FFXIV to become like WoW, at least their achievements are meaningful and make you do stuff. And then they had some fun gimmick achievements thrown in the mix. This change was wholly unnecessary. As an option? Sure! But enforced? And no Abelfei, turning off doesn't work for EVERYONE, obviously. So it is a nuisance that should be dealt with.
