Zone Guide & Map Completion with Account Wide Achievements

SerafinaWaterstar · October 2023

As stated many many times, in many threads, the issue is not AWA per se, but that achievements are the only way available to track character progress.

Since it’s introduction, I have played much less. No longer able to easily work out what different characters need to do, so rarely play my alts.
Whereas previously I would regularly play my many alts through the zone stories/main quest/then dlcs, now it just feels……meh.

If Zos introduced a way to decently measure completion (and no, the zone map thingy is not really ‘decent’) that was separate from achievements, it would be a step in the right direction.

I had no objection to account wide achievements, but they never should have included character achievements in the mix. Honestly, I don't care about account achievements. Maybe just me, but I really don't care about "Level 50, Woo Hoo!" and stuff like that. The issue I had was the loss of "achievements" (aka milestones) related to character progress through the game.

Since AWA, I downsized from a couple dozen characters across multiple accounts, platforms, and geographies to essentially three characters, soon to be two.
