No credit on achievements

Reinitz · August 2014

I read the announcement about the dye system foible and the upcoming removal of colors from players who didn't earn them and got to looking at my achievements to determine if I had received any colors I shouldnt have (one that I can tell). During the process I noticed that there are several achievements which I have completed or am well on the way to completing...and am not receiving the credit towards/for completion of said achievements. These range from public dungeon to crafting achievements. Needless to say, I'm a little upset about it.

Has anyone else noticed this with their characters? Has ZOS said anything about it or plans to fix this when they sort out their dye problem? Seems like the two would be connected issues.

I've not yet checked but I suspected this might be the case when I saw how few colours I had

The only achievements I'm "missing" are ones they've acknowledged as bugged (rare motifs) or ones they didn't track before (decon/refining), so I'm okay on this end.

Same here, although I would not describe myself as "OK" with it. Slightly annoyed, nothing that would cause me to rage.

The key take away from this: Zenimax has acknowledged that it's bugged.

The decon/refine are two that aren't tracking progress that I was speaking specifically about, so it's good to know that the powers that be are aware of the issue. Do we know wether they wil retroactively reward us for our efforts that weren't tracked when the problem gets fixed? Like you, I don't find it a rage inducing issue, but it is annoying and I would appreciate the credit being paid where it is due.

I was missing all the boss achievements from public dungeons. All the group challenges I had completed were accounted for, but all bosses were gone. It was an issue prior to 1.3.3 that wasn't fixed and changed in a weird way... Before 1.3.3 if i killed a boss again, i could get the achievement again, but wouldn't get the point credit for it because the total achievement points already accounted for them. But since they updated the achievement totals, and no longer counted the missing achievements, when I redid them, I was getting credit for them. So I just redid them all cause I don't think ZOS will fix the bug.

when I checked for the colors, the other achievement I found (besides rare motifs) is the recipe achievements. I know 116 recipes and it says i have none.

I checked yesterday...and I have lots of achievements that should be maxed and/or completed that looks like they just got started

I guess they got reset or something when the dye system was put in place....bugs and all o.O

As far as the deconstruct/refine I don't think they will do anything retro active about it. There's no way for them to do that really. Not happy with it either but I think they knew what they were doing as the achievements are set reasonably low (1k I think).

These achievements do not seem to be too hard to get. I got the Apprentice Deconstruction or whatever it is called in just two days (5 hours of game time with only 2 hours farming a public dungeon for re-searchable loot) with my Clothing Crafter/Woodworker.

So, while I did miss out on possibly having Master Levels in those right now, the reality is, one shade of black (or any other color) is just as good as another one. I applied different shades of one color, and I could not see much of a difference on the armor in the actual game. More noticeable in the render window, but not that noticeable that I could tell what I really liked better.

So, if I don't have a color for one Achievement, I have it for another one.

I think the max one is set at 3k. Sucks because a few days before the patch I collected and refined over 1k quicksilver ore

i don't have the legendary gear crafting achievement, despite making said gear, and it makes me mad because I want to sell those materials, not waste them for an achievement.

Well... I'm bummed about achievements like master vampire and master werewolf. As someone who wants to get all the colors but hates those 2 classes, it sucks. They're good colors too :'(

They are 30, 300 and 3000…

and each counts as 1… as in 1 refinement of 10 ore equals 1 towards the achievement… so you need to refine 30,000 actual ore for example to get the final achieve.

Have easily done that already with the 10,000 harvester achieve earned back in mid-May and I haven't slowed down, I refine my own stuff, never sell raw.

Doesn't bother me because I know no one has it already and it gives you something to watch as you play, but...

The one I DON'T want to deal with again is the Decon of items. I have been 50 in all trades for over 2 months now, I SELL 90% of what I find for straight up vendor gold (it adds up fast) and just decon the items with traits or tempers I want to try and get matts for.

I refuse to do the math on how much gold I will lose trying to get this achieve... lol. ><

EDIT: Hope they fix the decon to be retro somehow, not sure how they could, but who knows...

Hey folks! In an effort to consolidate multiple threads on the same topic, we're going to close this one and ask that you please post about any broken achievements in this thread. In addition to consolidating the discussion, posting there will also increase the visibility of any achievement issues not currently being tracked (be sure to check the ones already listed in the OP). Thank you for understanding.
