    I mean just add new achievement get 100 wins. Don't tie it to a certain map. That way they don't have to lock the roulette like they do. People that come late don't have to think they will never get mount because map shows up only a couple times a week. Titles are ok tied to the map since they reflect something from the map in theory.

    they do it to create "excitement". mount collectors will go after mounts regardless tho too.

    Is the "excitement" suppose to be sarcastically?



    I don't feel collectors are the problem. The problem is the doing it later people. We have all seen the comments "I just need X wins for field commander coat" or "I will never see X item".



    Wins tied to one map when roulette stars up means you can only get wins once a week. Tie that to amount of play time someone has. The lack of instant pops or pops outside of a certain window period. Finally the fact that we all can't be winners as well. Just aside I do think people should have to put time in to win just like it is now. But only getting a chance once a week knowing what I know, I probably wouldn't even bother.



    That is why I feel it is short sighted design. Since SE already has data on how often people win and how many games happen per data center. I would just like them to put some thought into something that seems so obvious.

    Right, as soon as we get some kind of rotation back (and among 2-3 other maps/modes), we can look forward to the thread(s) popping up: "I can't get x achievement/mount because the map only occurs twice/three times a week! Plz fix!"

    No matter how long they leave Onsal as the only map, you know just somebody is going to miss the ship and take issue with it.

    I don't foresee them changing how the achievements are awarded (based on mode-type/map); Freelancer wins including GC-specific achievements may be a thing, but you're still affiliated with whatever GC for everything outside of PvP, so it's not an equivalent comparison.
