Suggestion: Change the Doman Mahjong Orchestrion Roll aquisition method

[Sarevok_Thordin]

At present it stands that you require 1600 rating to get the Orchestration roll for the theme that plays in Mahjong.

You start at 1500, and it can go up for 30ish for 1st, 10ish for 2nd, -10ish for 3rd and -30ish for last. You can fall BELOW 1500 and it can become a dizzying mountain to climb plus the fact that games can take an hour if nobody is wiped out.

Putting the music roll behind an achievement like this really does not fit.

Change the achievement requirement to require 5th Kyu or something similar, something that you cannot lose mountains of progress on in a game mode where the matches are luck laden and long. This way you CAN get it and need to put in effort, but won't feel like the odds are stacked because you can fall behind your starting point.

There are still titles for rating ceilings, so the idea of pushing your rating higher against the odds isn't lost. Plus people can play without stress knowing a setback will hurt them so badly if they desire the roll.

Thoughts?

I agree, there's a lot of people who collect the music, it seems weird to lock this one behind a ranking gate.

i agree! A different sort of achievement that you could slowly work on, without fear of losing progress, would be very nice.

Yeah the fear part really kicks in once you hit 1550+.

Agreed this needs to be changed. The fact that this is an achievement you can lose progress on just makes it feel rather abysmal. Like SE you should know better.

I feel that they may have thought that the ranking system looked great on paper. Fully implemented though there are some drawbacks especially with the NA community imo. That's not to say that some of us don't enjoy it because I'm sure some do. It could just be better is all. Allowing people to rank up through NPCs and progress like Triple Triad (and to some extent chocobo racing) would be an excellent start. I played the Novice table earlier. It seems like a game I'd love to get into.

I'd like to plus one on this. Although I am enjoying learning Mahjong, its not fun to have a collectors item locked.

I agree with the orchestrion achievement but the title achievements can stay as is. I'm afraid of losing progress too (I had though, 4 matches total I ended ditch last, that's 120 points setback) but those titles wouldn't make sense if they're not punishing to get, also is a good incentive if you really want them (mahjong enthusiast and mahjong master).

Just make it purchaseable with MGP like the others

Doubt they could do that as it's been coded as an achievement reward already, but to change the requirements of it would make a difference.
