[Dev 1081] Achievements

[Laughlyn]

I'd say ofcourse they will, since you cant de-level your miner to 49 to regain 50 just for the achievement unlock.

However, one thing that i was wondering about was getting an item as reward for an achievement...
How exactly are we suppose to get that item?

My firsth thought was from the mailbox...but...well we dont have one so....
im guessing either an NPC or from a completion "Popup" window?
(Like the window that pop up after completing a guildleve.)

Side note:
Now... from the current looks of the new achievement system / windows etc,
the design looks...kinda poor and cheap, not very "flashy" is it.
(i hope they do something cooler looking in 2.0)

I'm thinking from the NPC for the achievement but that's not written there.

Also what level are these rewards? and can we add materia?

[Zottan]

Are the achievements retroactive????

Guild marks skills will count if retroactive?

Considering we will already have achievements complete at the release of the patch, will they be automatically carried over ?

At first, only the names of achievement categories will be visible. Each category must be unlocked by speaking to the corresponding NPC, after which you will be able to view the details of individual achievements under that category.

As Laughlyn said, I guess they'll be automatically carried over, but first we'll have to speak to the corresponding NPC in order to unlock the details of individual achievements.

A quote from the news : "* Achievements are separate from History, the latter of which will continue to exist.".

And the producer and devs have been insisting on that, thus my question.

My guess is that some things will only be displayed on your history (example: Getting level 5 on a class appears on the history, but I doubt that it will be an achievement) and others only on achievements (example: Getting all DoW to 50 may be an achievement, but this doesn't appear on the lodestone history).

Also, pretty sure (almost) everything we have already done is saved...but I think stuff like crafting X items will have to be done after the patch.

Would this look better to you?



It's a tiny window that is basically a virtual high-five...why would it need to be anything but a small window?

I'm going to guess either an NPC or from the achievement window itself. Like a "redeem prize" button or something.

Also, I'm pretty excited for achievements. I mean how will people know how great I am unless I'm wearing all golden gear? It's an issue, they NEED to know.

The achievement system looks extremely fun, but I am concerned if the non-repeatable aspects of the game which I've already accomplished will count. I'm also hoping for clarification for this please! I don't want to miss out merely because I've been playing the game since release.

Also it would be nice to know if some of the repeatable things that we've already done if that will automatically grant an achievement, such as ones that gave a history listing. Ones that have not, such as craft 300 items within a certain level range, I can understand as having no previous tracking of.

One last concern regarding the achievement, "Attune with all 19 aetheryte crystals and aetherial gates in La Noscea," most the gates are basically nigh on impossible to reach due to excessively high level and poorly placed monster populations in the distant areas. Are there plans to reduce these within range of the current player level's abilities? Would be nice if players could actually use the rest of the current maps ^^;

It can be done Kio, It just takes a group.
