This new update will be painfull for people that enjoy achievements.

oh man... where do i even start...

Look people wanted global achievements like me, but they wanted them to be toggle, ya know? you click on a new char and chose import achievements... something like that.
but this new system is just so bad... man... i'm sad... i will probably never touch my crafter ever again because i did so many quests on them that i haven't done on my main...

- Many addons will be glitched, maybe forever.

- The first year of eso after this update will be full of glitches related to achievements like on the map zone guides.

- When you check your achievements you will see the name of the character who did them.

- You will never hear that achievement sound ever again with new characters..

- Some quest choices will be destroyed. Other quests that give guild xp boosts like kari's hit list will stop working

- Because of the global achievements npcs will comment about things you did with other characters, and not your main... This is INSANELY immersion breaking.

So what's the result of implementing something like this? some that know about this have quit eso or will delete all their alt characters. The ones that don't know... get ready for complaining.

On the plus side... we might get achievement leader-boards one day...
Doubtfull but maybe also you earn X global achivement points you get X reward... again...doubtfull.

I’ve kept very up-to-date on the forums, and the occasional reddit, to know how people feel about the AwA change and how they think it could improve.

Yes, it still needs work. I, personally, believe it’ll get taken care of. Even if it takes a year.

I’m still looking forward to AwA. I was looking through my achievements last night and thought, can’t wait until the 14th.

Achievement leaderboards wouldn't work, because there are only so many you can get and there are people who already have most of or all of them. Those people would just sit at the top, and then what do you do as more and more people earn them all? What about people who can't because they're limited in what they can do because of things like medical conditions? Leaderboards only work with points that can be earned indefinitely and aren't bound to a finite score.

That aside, ZOS really needs to delay AwA. There are too many things wrong; there are never enough people on the PTS to thoroughly test things. The number of bugs that have been discovered is likely very small because of the low number of people who actually use the PTS. Once it hits live who even knows what's going to happen.

Main != Crafter???

Not a fan of this too. I like completing challenges and earning that title for different builds. While I can still technically do that, the title's lost a bit of its specialness, and it does not make me excited to try for the achievements anymore.

Yeah, that seems weird to me, too.
Why isn't your main your crafter if you only have one crafter?

I used to main a magsorc who eventually maxed all his crafting skill lines, and he has all the motifs. This was back in 2014. Naturally, since I started with this guy, he's the one who's done a lot of the base game stuff and early DLC. Right now, he's my crafter.

I've since moved on to a different character, who has essentially become my main, a magcro, and he's the one who's done the newer content. He is not a crafter, but is my main.

Maybe the OP has a similar situation.

It will be beneficial for people who enjoy getting as many achievements as possible and I want to play multiple characters.

If the game had no achievements or titles to begin with would you still play it?

what?

You are interested in me explaining why my main isn't a crafter?

I originaly started eso has a nightblade up till cp 250 + - (max was 810 back then) and later on moved to a sorcerer premanently. because i lacked skill points on my sorcerer and space on the inventory i fully focused my nightblade that i disliked for crafting.

HELL YEAH, that means no more trifectas! i could easily get all the rewards i want without pulling off my hair

i like achievements, but am glad that the achievements are going to be account wide

is the implementation the best? no not really, but it will still be nice to free up being able to play other toons in content my main is not built for

the current implementation i wouldnt say is fully account wide either due to the random piecemeal achievements that arent account wide

im curious how many slayer type achievements i will get after this goes through lol, it will also be nice for the achievements for killing someone with volendrung/killing volendrung wielder will be acct wide too (i got the achievement for killing someone with volendrung on 2 toons i rarely use in pvp, but i dont have it on the toon i actually more regularly use in pvp, so it was annoying when i had to change toons to buy volendrung replica from the achievement vendor)

If it could somehow keep itself engaging, maybe. However, that's coming from someone who's been here since 2015, and I'm currently experiencing a bit of burn out at the moment like I did back in 2017. Things I enjoy aren't working and my RP guild kind of died at the start of the year due to internal problems .

The achievements do help in making goals though, and without them it'd be like Elite: Dangerous where you have to make your own and player retention isn't very high there.

Yes because achievements aren't the game, most of them are irrelevant. The only time I go after them is if they offer dyes.

Absolutely! I find titles and achievements so kindergarten.

I enjoy achievement hunting and couldn't be more excited about account wide achievements.
