Account Wide Achievements

Yeah. Because I have no problem with level 10 grand overlords and level 10 Immortal Redeemers / Tick-Tock Tormentors running around.

Any different from a lvl 10 with max cp? It’s interesting, if you think of the person behind the toon, you will understand that the “toon” did nothing and it was the grand overload with a keyboard and mouse. Just curious, you wouldn’t just say, that’s an alt?

I picked the wrong option. This however is what I would like to see.

I would also be a fan of a completely separate category of new achievements that are designed around and specifically intended to be account wide.

this toon didnt do it? its not done

^This!^

And I am saying that as someone with fifteen characters who would benefit -greatly- from account wide stuff!

If you care enough about some achievement for an alt, spend the effort.
If you don't care enough to spend the effort, have some characters do without.

...

...that being said, the one thing we -could- use is an account overview page from the character seepction screen, to see our account achievment total, and which character has done what when. Dye unlocks could be moved to there, and they could even add some new unlocks for multiple achievement completions... like, get "master angler" on characters from three different alliances, get a "fisherman" costume, do mainstory with every race, get a special "companion weapons" crafting style unlock, complete all stories with every class, get a special "hero of tamriel" costume, etc.

All of this!

Just play the game. Your new level 3 is not a Grand/Ophidian Overlord Master Angler Emperor , deal with it, move on, enjoy the game play and earn the title for that character if you can.

And, sure, have the ability to see an account wide summary of what has been achieved across all characters for those that want to know.

Pretty much this. I use achievements to keep track of what my characters are doing.

many, MANY other games have no problem with it, every achiev + title for everything even for hardes/longest things in game people can run on low lvl chars so why we cant here? idk why ppl are upset for this....those ppl just have problem with everything possible so why to listen them?

I tend to think of different games as separate entities, so what works on one does not necessarily work on another.
And even games that have more "account-wide" options, still have things that are character based.

For example, GW2 has account-wide achievements. You also have account-wide Masteries. But Hero Points and levels are individual per character. And zone completions (hearts, Vistas, POIs) are individual per character. And it seems to me that it takes longer to clear a zone in GW2 than in ESO.

BDO has account-wide titles and knowledge. But levels, and skill points are per character. Some quests are per character (and block progress of other quests) and some are family-wide. Some titles can only be obtained by playing different classes, so players that only play 1 character will never get those.

A lot of the achievements in ESO are related to simple completion of quests, dungeons or world bosses. They are checks on a "to do" list for a character. These would absolutely not work as account-wide.

Others *could* be account-wide, but only if the effort required to complete them was increased by a lot (which again, hinders those who like to play only one character).

For example, I have the "loot 1000 chests" on 3 characters and a 4th is half-way there. I also have all the Daedric Generals on 3 characters, as well as the Monster Hunter ones. Those are pretty easy to get, and if you opened them up you would have to open far more chests and kill far more monsters to make it an actual "achievement". (Though I am afraid Molag Bal has run out of Generals, so I don't know how to deal with that one).

What I'm trying to say is, having achievements per character works in ESO because of the way they are set up in ESO.

Having account-wide achievements works in other games because of how those games are designed.

Now, if people want to have a global achievement tab at the character select screen that gives them an overview, that's fine with me. But individual achievements should stay per character.

I was thinking yesterday that I want to make my own title.

"Ta Da!"

I think that would sum up everything I've done so far..

LOL!

Mine would probably be "Ooops!"

Why would my new Tyro PVP toon be able to have the August Palatine title from my main who is an August Palatine? The title thing makes zero sense.

Your other toons do not deserve the title if they didn't do it.

If you make achievements account wide then wouldn't that make it harder on leveling alts ?

A level 1 would have all achievements marked yet have none of the skyshards/books/skill points.
How would you track progress then ?

The fact that achievements aren't account wide, does not give conpletionists an incentive to create multiple chars or play those chars actively.

I mean there's not a single person in game with all the achievements, even though people have invested thousands of hours into the game. If anyone felt the need to get all achievements or at least get most of the hard ones, they would never be able to play another character, since you start from scratch every single time.

Personally I know that I won't ever get all the achievements, I simply don't have the time and I don't enjoy all areas of the game. Still I would like to get the majority of my harder achievements on one character (vMoL, vHoF, vAS and pvp ranks etc.) This is often impossible, since I've never pvped with my healer at all, even though he does most of my pve content. And questing achievements mostly go to my stam chars, since those are more mobile.

What I would find really great, is if we had some account progression system, instead of a character progression system.
