[Dev 1081] Achievements

[Nero]

Wow one is much better atm.. well.. for the current "game" is ok i suppose...

Thank you for bringing Cancer into my Eyes with that Picture... x_x

lol..but to be honest, i like the way SE is going with Achievements and i actually like the Items you can get out of it. I Wouldnt mind furnitures and Stuff in the Future for our Housings.

Um ya., this is true and well im very familliar with WoW's style, its more of what i wanted
it to look like, but diffrent style of artwork i guess. (Since i doubt anyone want it took just like wow's)

Even so, there isnt much diffrence in terms of layout and function of it, it seems.
The design looks very dull in my eyes, functional maybe but dull.
(go ahead a flame me idc, im a designer & artist myself so meh.)

But i guess i'd accept it since we still on a crappy engine, and atleast it's a start.
(there's always room for progress and redesign)

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.)

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.

[Eugenics]

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

[Zottan]

Are the achievements retroactive????

Guild marks skills will count if retroactive?

[Umo]

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.

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 ^^;

Look at my history list, I just did completed attuning with ALL aetherytes in Eorzea.
The harder ones are do-able in a group or simply duo with a GLD, as long as everyone can rez.

The crafting ones are going to be arsinine to get if not retroactive...I suppose hasty-hand?
Does mass production recipes work? Makes 12 = 12 items?

[HiirNoivl]

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

[Chezen]

Achievements look fun. More goals! Yay. \o/
