New "Class" Achievements subsection after Necrom Patch

laniakea_0

If you look into your Achievements list, specifically the "Character" section, you'll find a new subsection called "Class".
It currently has 2 Achievements:
1. "Neophyte Researcher Researcher" - Reach level 10 as an Arcanist
2. "Archmage of Apocrypha" - Reach level 50 as an Arcanist

I'm hoping a mod or admin might see this because I have a couple questions. Why are there only achievements for the Arcanist and none for any other classes? Why is this 2 separate achievements instead of 1 and it's upgrade like the "Level 50 Hero" achievement is an upgrade to the previous level achievements? Why is it only about these 2 level thresholds and why aren't there any rewards for these achievements? since this is basically the same as the "Level n Hero" achievements, I feel like a new dye would be a very appropriate reward (if not for both of them, then at least for the level 50 version).

Well, it is weird that theres a new section for two (2) new achievements that are both just “level arcanist”. It wouldn’t make sense to add them for the other classes now that a lot of people have all classes but at the same time it would be cool to try and get people to try every class.

I wouldn't call it a problem but I'd definitely call it weird.

At the very least the other DLC classes should get a similiar achievement. Not that it really matters, but at least it would be consistent.

maybe a new employee took over ui during necrom's development, even base has similar mechanics but do the exact same thing.

Gotta admit it's a bit weird to make a new section, call it "Class" and then just put 2 Arcanist achievements in there.

Who said I'm having an issue with this? I'm merely curious about what they are trying to set up here.

perhaps there'll be more class achievements added in the future

without adding all of the classes at once? trying to sell arcanist to completionists who will now have to buy and make an arcanist character lol

(i was planning on making an arcanist anyway, but im also somewhat of a completionist and do try to do everything, so this is my point of view on that lol)

Unless they make it a retroactive change, they would need to add another lot of new character slots for the people that want to get every achievement, don't see to many willing to delete already done characters just to level them up to 50 again.


As for OP:

Though its a bit of a stretch adding a new section could be a sign that they are planning to add more classes sooner next time, then the long time we had between the Necromancer and Arcanist.

That or its just a marketing thing to get those that want all the achievements to level an Arcanist.

Achievements can be bestowed retroactively. you shouldn't have to do it all over again.

Yes please, can we at least have level 10/50 achievements for the Warden and Necromancer, the other DLC classes?

The four base classes (Templar, DK, NB, Sorcerer) would be nice as well.

With the new Arcanist one, I'd love to see that for the other classes as well.

Yes, for most of us, we'd just pop all of those achievements the second we logged in since we have [class] at 50. But it would still be nice to have.

And as a side note, it'd be great if they could also go back and fix the class-specific enemies (Zelvraak in Graven Deep and the Facsimiles in HoF) to finally have the versions for the classes that came in after they were made.

It's annoying inconsistent with it's implementation and probably might get the same treatment as wardens bear skin category that was abandoned after the first product not even trying offering other pets any similar treatment. So basically a useless category with no actual purpose but to promote one single class.
