[dev1081]Achievements already earned

[morpheus]

Looking at the crafting and gathering achievements now and just getting frustrated. First they are pretty insane but that doesn't really bother me. Whats bothering me is i already did these, well the crafting ones anyway and some of the gathering ones. I understand SE might not of had a counter running for these achievements before but if someone has all of this these classes to 50 or even some they should of credited them something even if it was half completion. Example would be 41-50 carpenter achievement requires 3000 synths. They should least give someone who had the craft to 50 at least 1500 of that 3000 to start out with. Bottom line it takes x amount of synths to get 50. The crafting achievements are basically set up in line with someone going from zero to fifty. Already did this once, I shouldn't have to do it again.

Cliffs:
Excessive achievements that some people basically already did
SE should of done something instead of just taking the lazy way out

On these forums generally when SE does something they get up in arms and yell till SE changes it. With something like this i doubt most people care cause they have yet to level their crafting/gathering classes. I'd figure I would least try to make a thread about it and see if anyone cares enough to speak up about it.

I agree about the crafting achievements being out of whack with reality. It seems that the number of synths required is very high. A fighting class can go out and smack tons of mobs in an AoE move, and the higher level they are, the faster it is to kill mobs. With crafting, it takes almost as long for every synth, regardless of your level, even if doing a low level synth. I don't want to spend months repeating all of those synths for an achievement. I do think we should have been given some credit for past synths based on level, even if they didn't keep a record of our exact number of synths.

The tools are cool, but it's not something that is so gamebreaking. I'm not going to whines or gets frustated over it.

well when they add 51-60 needing 5k synths then we could complain more. isn't slugging through to 50 a synth more then enough?

when that happens we will have had a cap raise so it wont be repeating anything as much


as far as the overall thread

we have been through this before, and it comes down to 1 pure fact


people who like to craftr and gather, didnt stop when they hit 50
they are still doing it, so doing all these again is a continuation of what they are doing
yes they coulda figured something out to go retroactive with all this, but notice how NOTHING but these new non retro achievemnts got golden items for them? thats our reward for redoing it

also take note, someone going to 50 fresh WILL NOT earn these on the way, they will have to backtrack a little too cuz it requires more then you will actualy be doing(this goes double for gathering)

and no one has any advantage over anyone else, we are all on equal footing here, so its a fair shot at getting them all quite easily.


i for one am already well into working on all of them again, itl take a few months to get them all, but thats part of the fun of it for me. the challenge of keeping my sanity lol

your going to synth again on that class. The lower ones are a grind, but what in an MMO isn't a grind?

I think I've seen a thread like this already....

Yes, I will synth again, but I would never synth another huge batch of items again the way I normally would while skilling up. We have to redo all of those lower levels just to get our achievements, whereas the fighting classes are not required to go out to kill masses of lower level mobs that give no experience.

Anyone who has leveled a craft has already spent hours on end wasting time to gain levels by grinding on mats that ended up getting vendored - and now we have to waste all of that time and all of those materials again.

Your not wasting your time. You don't have to do them, no one is making you do these achievements. And don't you expect to play this game for a long time? A friend on our very own server just got his golden alembic yesterday. He said it only took him a couple days. BAM

It's doable. You just have to apply yourself. And about the battle classes getting and, it's because the achievement system on the lodestone allowed for that because it was already being counted where as your crafts weren't.

You have someone already was complaining about this very thing when it went live. I just started doing it and got the first ones very fast; working on the 2nd one now. There is no use in complaining they didn't count before so if you want to do it do it if you don't don't.

I agree. It seems sort of redundant to force a Level 50 Miner to go BACK and mine all those nodes again simply because the Achievement came out AFTER they did all the work to get to level 50. It's safe to say if we made it to level 50 in any gathering class we MINED more than the said number of nodes at each location.
