Flavor achievements for dungeons?

[Ziegsy]

At this point in the game those who have leveled many classes will have seen the same low dungeons so much that low level roulette's are becoming a chore.

I've lost count of the amount of times I've heard our team groan when we got AV or the ARF. Im wondering if we could possibly spice up older dungeons - since adding new ones would be asking alot.

I know WoW used to do flavor achievements, and even ff14 vanilla had them, could we possibly get them back?

For example - when my fc ran ultima for the music we did what we called 'light show runs'. Runs where no magitek bits were beaten.

Other things like - Beating titan without any party members getting hit by weight of the land; or, Defeating the Yeti (second boss in snowcloak?) with snowballs only?

There might be titles available- for example completing all speed run achievements? 'Speedster' or 'reckless'.

if you guys have any ideas for dungeon achievements please add them below!

Generally, yes, such achievements have potential to add a bit of spice to stale old dungeons. I would however include such achievements only for light parties, meaning: Full premade groups.

The reason is fairly simple, to avoid the conflict of some people wanting to do the fight the "achievement way" while others want to do with "the efficient way". IMO, avoiding such is more adequate for a duty finder environment.

I've wanted real achievements for years! It was one of my favourite things about WoW - trying to complete all the dungeon achievements for the mount.

Yes, I don't understand why FFXIV's Achievement system is so bland and dull. (Well, I probably do — It's faster and easier to implement and test)

But @Zojha has the right of it, if you allow quirky Achieves to be completed in matchmade groups, you will invite a lot of stress, pressure, and bullying less-skilled or motivated players to go above and beyond the mechanics they were expecting.

But I think interesting Achievements restricted to premade parties would be a lot of fun and a good additional timesink / diversion.

I never did quite understand why we had nifty dungeon achievements in 1.0 but not in 2.0.
