This is ridiculous and I'm not happy about it. Having over 48k achievement points on my main. Pretty much every achievement and trifecta done and then the challenge and fun of getting things again on different characters/classes all taken away.
Low level crafters able to run around with godslayer title on lol that's stupid.

The people that like this change are those who can't get certain titles/achievements Or don't have the time
Or people who buy carries..
You're breaking the end game pve community by doing this. It's a sad time. Really. This is the worse change I've seen since day one of being on eso

Ah yes. Having access to godslayer mount is okay, but we draw the line at the title... What?

Hopefully it's another tab.

I personally don't care about achievements, but I do use them to see which dungeons I haven't done for skill points.

So if it's filled on every character, I'll have no clue which ones to do on new characters.

This was the part of their announcements that made me really happy. Thank you! Finally!

I don't agree with both and never said it did.
Makes it very easy and less unique.

May as well give out free titles and achievements and everything else that's attached to them.

Edited: Skins also. It should be all for the character that it was earned on.
Thus making more people want to use and play more characters/classes

Now it will be complete something once and done.

Then I'm guessing you're also not using anything you bought on the crown store on different characters, including houses, since they didn't earn/buy them either?

And you (nor do I) have data on how many people played/didn't play different characters BECAUSE of being able to earn the same achievements again, or that they didn't do it because they didn't have access to those.

Tho I can see runsellers being upset at this, since if someone wants multiple titles now, they don't need to cough up a few hundo mill for each char.

That does not sound fun at all, that sounds tedious [snip]

I am absolutely thrilled with this announcement. Probably my favorite thing they announced on the live stream.
Now I am more motivated to play my alts that specialize in different gameplay aspects as they contribute to my global goals.

I understand that some achievements are more tightly linked to character level-up progress and it really is no problem to keep some of them from the global table. For example, making motif-crafting knowledge account wide would definitely impact the market negatively.
Nonetheless this is a very welcome change from my perspective

There needs to be a fair balance for all levels. That's it. Simply.

I don't know what I like more: account-wide achievements or stupid arguments about ruining ESO with this new system. Good times.

I hope quest related achievements won't be affected

I'd rather accountwide achievements apply to some things (monster trophies) with additional achievements related to completing or doing things on multiple characters, similar to SWTOR Legacy achievements. Then, a global achievements option so you can see what you've accomplished on your account vs on each character. I don't want my good characters to have Mass Murderer, for example. This honestly disappoints me more than anything else and that's saying a lot after that chapter reveal.

This, right here. I have characters who wouldn't touch DB content and I don't need the achievements for it on them- that, and quest NPC's will regard characters as a member of the DB in some areas of the game, changing dialouge and interactions. Why should my whole account be treated as if everyone is a member of DB when only one outlier created specifically for events is?

This new system is going to be problematic to say the least.

I honestly don't care either way about achievements. I have never been the sort of player who looks to collect them and making them account wide won't make me start, but yes they had really better keep achievements separate from "quest flags" which influence NPC reactions. It was bad enough when my noble paladin character picked up the Thieves Guild skill line just for setting foot in Abah's Landing.

Do you see the irony in that statement? You, the player, earned them achievements. The character(s) are just the tools you used to earn them.

to some extent i have to say: You the player earned them achievements with the tool you had in your hand in this case, the character.
Doing vKA trifecta on a DD is vastly different than doing it on a tank.

The method does not matter, it was still earned regardless.

You used cetain abilities with certain stats, those stats got patched and changed later on, should your acomplishment be revoked as you used different tools?

We're glad that we can bring account wide achievements to everyone! We'll have more details as we get closer.

What about replayability of achievements?
Let's say I have already done a particular trial achievement on one of my characters before but now I complete same achievement on another character that has not done it before. Will the game notice and recognize that? Will an "Achievement unlocked" message pop up to notify me that this character has earned an achievement?

Not irony at all.

I played them ON A CERTAIN CHARACTER.

For example, I’ve done vMoL on my stamblade. Main character & one I probably do best on. My magwarden? Wouldn’t get past first mob.

This needs to be optional. Or a global tab.

The more I think about it, the more I dislike the idea - or at least need a detailed description of how it is going to work & what affected.

Quest achievements?
Pvp ranks & titles?
Fighters Guild?
Mages guild?
Psijic?
Dark Brotherhood?
Thieves Guild?
Antiquities?
Crafting?
Holiday achievements?

So basically having played this for over 6 years with my main getting all my achievements, there is zero point in playing on any of my alts as they will all be completed?!

Great. Really well thought out. 🤬😡

This should've been in the game from the very start, then we wouldn't have so much gatekeepers treating some title in a videogame like a Nobel Prize lol.
But still very glad it's coming

rexagamemnon

This is awesome! Ive been saying this needs to happen for years

mocap

another addon "Account achivements" become a part of history.

This is another insult toward veteran players

I really do not like this development as it ruins replayability. @ZOS_Kevin

Played since open beta. Don't care whether achievements are account wide or not.

Finally!!!!!
Something that should have been inthe game along time ago.....

Hurbster

Having motif knowledge on all my characters was the only one I really cared about.

ArgonianAustin

This is a freaking dream come true, i quit eso because of having to basically start everything over making an alt. I hope everything transfers over, who cares if your lvl 1 character is a 5 star, you know damn well that lvl 1 would have massive pvp experience. I hate that my new characters are volunteers when ive pvped for years.

Arunei

I didn't watch to the part of the stream where this was mentioned, but did they say whether it would have a toggle or not? If they didn't mention anything about that, there's a good chance that they intend on having a toggle for it.

Personally I like it since it'll make certain achievements easier to get, like those ridiculously hard Trophy ones. I've been playing since closed beta and only have the Dwemer one unlocked; some of them I'm not even close to finishing.

SantieClaws

This will probably encourage this one to spend more time with her 17 apprentices, or at least some of them in particular, as she knows their work will count also towards her own aims.

Greetings,

We have recently removed some unnecessary baiting in addition to some back and forth from this thread.

• Trolling or Baiting: The act of trolling is defined as something that is created for the intent to provoke conflict, shock others, or to elicit a strong negative or emotional reaction. It’s okay and very normal to disagree with others, and even to debate, but provoking conflict, baiting, inciting, mocking, etc. is never acceptable in the official The Elder Scrolls Online community. If you do not have something constructive or meaningful to add to a discussion, we strongly recommend you refrain from posting in that thread, and find another discussion to participate in instead. It is also not constructive or helpful to publicly call out others and accuse them of trolling, or call them a troll—please refrain from doing so. If you genuinely believe someone is trolling, please report the post or thread to the ESO Team, and leave it at that.

This is a reminder to keep the discussion civil and constructive. Please keep our Community Rules in mind moving forward.

Thank you for your understanding.

I have had a feeling for a while that this was coming. Basically because of the recent changes to some of the Achievement Points. They updated the amount of some to be consistent with other Achievements earned in a similar way.

Now the question hit me tho, why would it be so important to have them be so consistent if the points don't really do anything for us? I mean we don't earn rewards off them, we don't get titles, we get no way at all to even show them to other players unless....

That's the future and point of it. I really hope so! Give us rewards for those Achievement Points. GW2 does this. You earn Titles/Gold/Cosmetics and even their game currency. That is where this is all heading I am sure. So as such, if this is the case (and I am telling you it is), they HAD to make the achievements or the points be account wide so that alt chars can't take too much advantage of the system.

If they didn't there would be tons of complaints on the forums, example:

"I play certain characters for certain activities, for example I fish only on a fishing char, so why can't I get rewarded for that if I can't add those points to an overall total to get rewarded?"

"I don't want to have to do ALL achievements on my main account to get the rewards, why do this!?"

You get the idea! It's coming and I am happy!

If anyone else has hinted at this before my post, I am sorry, I couldn't contain what was in my head before reading everything else first. At least great minds think a like tho right!

Actually I suspect you're correct. And I think it was all announced this year because those points are going to be a key way you earn special cards in the card trading game.

Personally, it would be fine with me if I only received "points" once but it still triggered a pop up and logged a date when alts did things. We already have this now: you can only unlock a collectible or dye once. This just makes sense! Account-wide rewards, character-specific achievement logs.
