For new dungeons/raids in 2.2 and beyond.

On a former Codemasters Server. Maiar, if you know it.

Did anyone of you play Warhammer Online? Its tome of knowledge was by far the sickest incarnation of an achievement system, aaaaaaaaaand I loved it.

- get killed by falling
- get killed naked
- slay guild leaders
- visite XYZ at noon/midnight/...
- find a monsters hidout
- survive a PVP battle with less then 10% life

And almost all achievements couldn't be seen initially. That alone was glorious.

Yeah, I know it. I've been playing on Morthond before I made the switch to FFXIV.

Goddammit, a hundred time this. My biggest disappointment with the game at this point (beside housing prices, duh) is the lack of any true fun achievements.

More than for raids, i want them for freacking endgame dungeons. Doing all the achievements for the HM dungeons in rift (at launch) with a static was the most fun i had in any mmorpg, like, ever. Just want this back. It is SO easy to implement -- litterally only a non-moronic person sitting at a table with a pencil for 2 days would solve this completely, the cost is ridiculously low in terms of develeopment, and the added fun just insane. Just do it SE.

I loved Rift's achievements. It was one thing to clear a raid. It was an entirely other thing to get conqueror for said raid.

Me: "Oh you killed akylios?"
*Takes out Armored Murdantix Mount*

Other person in another guild: "I'll just go home now"

Completing the whole Hammerknell instance was the best feeling ever. And this is after having played FFXI for 5 years. It got me addicted to raiding. Akylios, even after completing all raid content through T1 of storm legion, has to be one the best designed encounters I've played through. I never thought that Hammerknell could get any better until we started going for conqueror. What seem like fun and manageable fights became intensely hard(still fun) and challenging fights that made me want to bash my head against a brick wall when we did some of the achievements for the fights. Getting that mount was... close to orgasmic. I've yet to get that feeling in FFXIV.

After that, still damn near impossible - that's too many people to coordinate on such a precise level. One person getting lag could ruin everyone's chances.

They're only meant for the hard-core and yes they're achieveable. Not everyone is meant to do them. As I stated, this is for FCs who this content is on farm and still looking for a further challenge and a reason to farm said content. I'm not going to assume so I'm going to ask. Have you ever played another MMO with achievements similar to what I proposed?

There's a work-around to queue for CT with only your FC. You all choose the same language(not english) and confirm in a VOIP with each leader after everyone except the leaders of the three parties. Once you are 21/24 with everyone in the same pop, you can confirm that each party is from your FC.

Yeah, getting the unique mounts for clearing all achievements in a raid zone was pretty neat. Would be nice if FFXIV did something similar.

As long as the achievements don't involve something that would hinder the fights (ex: defeat ifrit hm without stunning an eruption). You wouldn't want random off-tanks in DF groups like "K GAIZ I TRY 2 GET ACHIEVEMENTS NO STUN KKK?"

Well there is a vote kick system in place

jkjk

In all seriousness, that would be a viable achievement because you have to let eruptions go through anyway in EM. Although, if I were to design an achievement based off of eruptions, it'd be, Kill Ifrit after every party member has successfully dodged Ifrit's Eruptions. That way a strat could be to stun them but otherwise you'd still have to dodge.

Complete [insert dungeon/primal] using a team of only 4 WHMs.

Something maybe a little easier, complete [insert level 50 dungeon/HM primal] using a team as their original classes (no jobs).

- Clear Dungeon XYZ with the proposed iLvl to enter.
- Haukke HM, kill strong skelleton add befor the boss
- kill boss while last ten seconds before dungeon-timeout
