Battlegrounds achievements need a rework

joe_schmo · December 8

With the new 8v8 structure, some achievements have become virtually impossible to get. For instance, the Relic Guardian achievement. You need to get the killing blow for it to count, and you need 100 kills to get the final achievement. Since CtR is only available in 8v8 mode, it is an absolute chaotic mess on your screen at all times with up to 16 people swarming the same relic carrier, making it almost impossible to get the killing blow much less even see where the relic carrier is. Some of these achievements either need to have the 100 kills requirement lowered or have it count for doing damage to a carrier that eventually is killed, not exclusively from the killing blow. There are others that are similar to this but this is just one example.

There is one achievement also that is outright not available to get.

With 8v8 casual things like The Merciless are now a lot less difficult to obtain. I think all achievements for bgs need to be revised if we in fact are stuck with this 2 team format. Hopefully they'll just revert to three teams and solve this and a plethora of other problems.... hopefully.

they did say that the 3 team format might return for limited time events

that being said it is kind of annoying that this achievement would be unattainable for anyone trying to get it right now outside of that

i would also agree with the OP that some of the BG achievements are quite annoying to get, im trying to work on the capture relics still for the last dye, however in 8v8 and being only 2 team its a lot harder to capture the relic now (or at least successfully make it back to your base) without crazy speed or just being a sorc with streak

Agree. Most of my games this weekend were like 100-100 or something like that.

I will offer that some of the others are actually easier to get now though.

The new Chaosball variant with 3 balls means that a single healer can actually get Chaos Guardian pretty easy now. Just get all three balls together and heal. Before, with only one, you had to be a dedicated healer and you had to make sure the person who had the ball was a dedicated tank with enough health and make sure the other two teammates could fend off the other players.

But yes, some of those requirements are ridiculous, and should be reduced. I still remember burning myself out on one of the CTR weekends last year to get that green dye, and I was miserable. I got 80 captures in a single weekend by playing like the worst, most selfish teammate ever, because that was what the achievement needed.

There are a lot of those BG achieves that could come down in number, the same way they reduced a few IC or DLC zone achieves (Murkmire Prepper, anyone?)

i dont think the number is itself bad, but i think it should count "team" captures

so if your team captures a relic everyone would get credit

killing the relic carrier itself could also be changed to just be dealing dmg to them instead of killing blow

stuff like that wouldnt require changing amounts, but still make it more attainable through normal play without hyper focusing on a specific objective
