Patch 1.20 Notes (12/12/2011)

[Fisk]

I'm just wondering, what's the design philosophy behind making us visits a different NPC just to unlock achivements? If we have to unlock em why just not one npc in each city...

I was confused by this too, I'm sure there must be some reason behind it, guess we'll have to wait till the patch goes live to find out.

Since they didn't write anything it's seems to be a design choice rather then limitations of the system, personally i think it's bad, atleast as a new player i don't feel like running around to unlock the achivement system , seems getting achivements unlocked is an achivement in itself

I was actually thinking that the reason would be story based or something, not system limitations

Lets see, i start new in the game in LL and get achievements request to do stuff in Ul'dah like kill 100 amaja.

I'm confused , maybe i was unclear, all i meant was that i should be able to get achivements without talking to different NPC:s

yea i agree with this, At max one npc located in each town to collect any rewards.

I swear two steps forward one step back with these guys.

I think it's their way to further have Hamlets and such be worth going to, prior to the Hamlet Defense feature. I know it bugs some people, but I always liked traveling to many different areas (more so now that I finally have a chocobo...). But I understand it'd be much easier for folks if it was all based in one area.

They just want to make people travel a bit more. Everyone is cluttering in Ul'dah for example. I bet it helps with the server load to have us spread out and also prepares the terrain for upcoming patches.
