But now my only option is to delete my childs toon or let her login its a pretty messed up situation[snip] . Thanks for this wonderful feature ZOS
Ps if you are going to edit what i write dont change the tone of the post please.

I really hate to be the bearer of bad news, but those things she did are account wide now and even deleting her toon won't reset it. Welcome to ESO Once... Sad....

I haven't let her get on since the release. Im hoping they will issue some kind of fix or adjustment. At the moment what she has completed hasn't been added to the account yet. She wants to play this last update to.

Since this thread had been the main place where people discussed addon solutions...
For people who had backed-up character-specific achievements using LibAchievementsArchive prior to Update 33, there's now an addon that will integrate that historical character-specific data with the achievement browser interface.
Historical Achievement Credit (This requires that you had already backed up character-specific achievements using LibAchievementsArchive prior to Update 33.)
This is what it looks like:
For people who play on multiple accounts and servers, you can optionally have the addon show the information for all accounts on all servers; if you enable that option, it will look like this:
I doubt referencing char names on the player account wide achievements would have taken up that much space, would it?
I doubt referencing char names on the player account wide achievements would have taken up that much space, would it?
Right now, each achievement takes 192 bits of space to store:
- A single 64-bit field that encodes all the progress information for all the different criteria that an achievement might have.
- A 64-bit timestamp.
- And a single 64-bit character ID, as the game only credits a single character. (Frankly, I think this is silly--either credit all characters or don't credit any; crediting one is a worst-of-both-worlds middle ground, not a best-of-both-worlds one.)
If there are 4 characters that have credit for an achievement, than you'll need 384 bits: 128 bits for the core information of progress/criteria and timestamp, and 256 for 4x character IDs. While you can argue that it's not a lot of space in absolute terms, in relative terms, it is. If there are just 4 characters with credit for an achievement, then the credit information is already double that of the core information.
In that case, you might as well just maintain a separate achievement DB per character and have the AwA DB be in addition to, rather than instead of. Obviously, I and most detractors of the current AwA would've preferred that approach, but it is also true that such an approach would've increased DB usage, rather than decrease it.
I'm in the "if the game had launched with AwA, we probably wouldn't have minded" camp, and my main problem with AwA is that over the course of all these years, we had built up individual histories that were unceremoniously destroyed in a blender with AwA. I'm okay with AwA going forward, but upset over the loss of that history. And with a way to preserve that history, I've mostly made my peace with AwA.

While the faster loading times are nice it does not feel like AwA did a lot performance wise. At least on my end.

My loading times have universally been slllooowweerrr for getting into the game; and the evil Meridia-ruled "1 sec queue" still runs to min if I don't immediately leave and re-queue (which fixes it generally, so I am beginning to doubt the existence of said mythical queue).
Within game loading screens to zones/delves don't seem much different
There is now a bug about loading into group dungeons:
1-Join group, chose role, leader enters us into queue, wait for it to pop "hit yes" (in my case it's F)" to join.
2-Then, about half the time (some days up to 2/3) nothing. I don't transport into the dungeon, and then the rest of the party on my heads up display starts reporting as "offline". I've done this in groups with my sweetie sitting right next to me, and often to the ones in the dungeon, the "non pulled" people also display as "offline".
The manual fix of course is to hope that at least one person got pulled into the dungeon (looking at the group list, I can see locations) and "travel to player" but it's clunky and THOSE loading screens are usually horrible.
No idea if this is a side effect of AWA, but it wasn't here before.
