Problem: Achievements

[Daku_Naito]

i can easily earn 50k an hour on this achievemnt, so i bet i could do it if i tried in a few months, much like any other achievment

Again, you are talking about the ridiculous things you would do, you being the only one. Though if they change it to where we fight humanoids for a length of time, maybe.

Anyways, you are away at 50k an hour, 4 hours a day, 30 days in a month, it would take you longer than a year to get that achievement?

and your point? again, its a LONG TERM goal for those who want to do it

never said i wanted to do that one(i work on it when i feel like it, but its a very low priority for me)

in the end, if you want it, youll get it
if you dont, then DO NOT DO IT, but do not whine about your unwillingness to do it


i mean, its not like it has a reward....

You seem to confuse someones whining to someone trying to fix a problem. If you are the only person willing to do something, then that is a problem. As of now, you seem to be the only person willing to go out and kill humanoids for 4 hours+ a day for a year and a half.

But like I said, if they add instances or something with humanoids within them, then that would be awesome, then you could count it as either something that will just come with time, or an actual feasible goal.

Yeah, I know all of the spots for enemy that drop gil and I can do this in a reasonable amount of time if I actually focused on it. It's not hard at all. Not to mention, people still ignore the fact things will be changing with 2.0 >.>

I'm noticing you saying this quite a bit. No, Vedis isn't the only one, there's plenty of other people, so once again, just because you don't want to do it doesn't mean someone that would/will/is doing it is "the only person that will."

another thing i like to point out when it comes to the gil achievments in general

one day ther will be a cap raise, and with that, increased rewards from systems such as leves, and higher level mobs(granted, they may drop 100 more gil per or something when soloing, but that adds up!)

so in time, they will get quicker, and quicker and so on and so forth too

You noticed that I said that quite a bit, but didn't notice the actual number of people I gave that amount to? You are absolutely crazy to think that it is okay to go around and hunt humanoids 4 hours a day for a year and a half to get an achievement. Is there anything that SE could add that you wouldn't do?

I've already mentioned that maybe all of these things will be fixed by 2.0 implementations, which is the reason for this thread, in hopes of that happening, in hopes of additions that would allow for some of these to be feasible.

Some achievements should give us a key item that boost some stat permanently...
Like: Doing "Been There, Done That" gives us a scroll that boosts our movement speed by 2%.
or something like that.

I'd actually disagree with that, I think other types of rewards would be just fine, without having people just be OP. With items, at least everyone can't have all items at once on their characters.

the problem is that unlike the other gil achievement series, this one requires you to hunt mobs that are very uncommon and drop piddly amounts of gil. I predict a year or more will go buy and even the most insane player won't have the final gil-from-enemies achievement yet.

They would not be very uncommon after SE open the Garlean stronghold in Mor Dhona. I predict 3 month after the stronghold is open.

I... Just want to note that sometime they will be implementing a human stronghold so this particular achievement won't be a big issue in and of itself?

The achievement NPCs are so typical of what's wrong with FF, both XI and now XIV. The game itself gives no hint of how to unlock achievements AT ALL. I've not been playing continuously but have had characters since pre-release, I have no idea where these NPCs are and the game hasn't even hinted at their existence.

It seems yet again, SE's intention is (a) players are expected to wander aimlessly 'talking' to every damned NPC in the game just to see if they get some sort of reaction, or (b) use the official 'game guide' (a la FFXI) or fan sites.

Either way, it's a fail.

Someone above mentions a location in Ul'dah where some of these are. Just how is that information conveyed, because it's damned well eluded me.

You are really talking bad about something you seem to have no idea about. You can check on your maps and see the gold medals on the maps and that is where you find the NPCs. Once unlocked, the menu will tell you what you need to do to unlock the achievements. If you didn't know to look for medals, you could check the past patch notes, which everyone should do to know more about the game they are playing, or just ask someone, they will help you.
