Problem: Achievements

[Noir]

omg i can't get this achievement next week, this game sucks.

They have to find something to whine about lol.

My only complain is about the items you get. That shield for company seals is GARBAGE

It all depends how you look at it, while some could be made a bit easier, I am planning to get my Luminary pick, and just got my Mining your own business: Thanalan V achievement yesterday, going for the others now

Any leve related achievement (local, regional, faction, GC) can be shared with other player
All of GC related achievements are easy, and lots of them are actually over lapped

um you obviously havent done your homework

YOU CAN SHARE

regional leves, faction leves(to an extent, only the total factions done, not the individual faction types)

YOU CAN NOT SHARE

local leves, GC leves

my bad, forgot bout the local leves. and GC leves cannot be shared because its tied to your company

Achievements really don't mean anything right now so why do people get so worked up about them? Most of the item rewards are town gear hats and no one can see your achievement points anyway. At best they will be like XBL with people shouting "look how many more useless e-peen points I have!"

I beg your pardon, but I believe achievement mean you achieve something

I hope in 2.0 they make your achievement score available for others to see, perhaps when examining you. For those who have played other MMOs, would you mind shedding some light on how they handle achievement scores? Are they always a private thing?

Some I played tend to be private, others that aren't private shows up in their 'check' screen when you examine their class/level/gear/title, some see if you have a low achievement score that you're 'lazy' and won't take you, it's almost akin to gear score.

We could do that now, though not directly, by third party sig generator

Despite how time-consuming some of them are, people are still going for them.

I was out at Nophica's Wells the other day leveling my botanist when I realized that there were at least 5 other botanists out there with me... but they weren't level 30 like I was; they were 50. Nothing incredibly rare or expensive comes from those nodes, so they MUST HAVE been grinding for the achievement. It is definitely hard, but doable.

My only complaint about synthesis versus gathering is the fact that the synthesis items are A LOT easier to obtain because the achievements are much less time consuming. You don't have to move and you could "Hasty Hand" yourself through most of the synths... but as a gatherer, you're constantly on the move, and eventually you will run those nodes dry... so it's not even like you can stick with one path and rotate forever. And not only that... you need to gather all 5 ranks in THREE separate lands. If the synthesis requirements were higher, or the gathering requirements were lower, I wouldn't complain... but I do think the differences is a bit unrealistic.

As for the other achievements... 'gillionaire' etc, I think those are fine. People will only achieve them in a few years... and this game has MANY years to go. Don't expect to get them right away.
