Do You Want Achievements To Be Account Wide?

    What is the point of making them account wide? You are just removing one more thing people can do who are into achievements without having any bearing on builds. If people don't want to do fishing on every character, don't. Do it on a single character. Problem solved.

    But then they removed vr! Kinda changed things.

    The only downside to per character achievements is that some achievements are dependent on other achievements. With the removal of VR and the fact that it takes little time now to get to cp160, the game is no longer encouraging characters to do all zones with a single character apart from the achievements, skill points, and lore books. Now it makes more sense to just create 3 characters, one in each zone, and use those to complete all questlines in respective zones. I still support per-character achievements because I don't thing we should remove that carrot on a stick for people who like making sure all their characters complete achievements.

    Tho I do concede, there are some achievements that should be individual and not account based.

    I agree with this. For certain things, it makes sense. Fishing especially - I do not have the time and patience to do that on every character.

    But I would not want things like skyshards/lorebooks/delve bosses/zone completions and other regular gameplay achievements that are easy to complete to be shared.

    Have you finished it on one character?

    They should make achievements account wide. Titles, on the other hand, should be character only. Imagine a level 20 toon with Flawless Conqueror on it..lol.
    The vote for 'no' is only due to this fact. If you need to do the achievement again only for the title, then I see no problem in it.

    While I wouldn't mind an account overview where you can see all your achivements across your characters, I'd like them to stay seperate in general. It's nice to have them to keep track of the progression of your seperate characters.

    And how would you deal with achivements that provide a reward when you complete them? Would every new character instantly get this reward? Or would you only get the reward for the first character completing it? The first solution would be crazy, as the amount of xp you get from achivements is higher than the total xp required to level from 1 to 50. And the second option would be annoying as the best way to level undaunted is to complete as many dungeon achivements as possible.

    So sane person does those twice, I think Achievements like Leaderboards should offer Elite gear upgrade stuff, Elite comes after Legendary. Also Dyes needs proper crafting. Higher your Achievement score, better your chance to get Elite Upgrades, lottery so to speak and Leaderboards you gotta win and earn it, but you dont have to deal with lottery.

    They were never account wide, but you could transfer the trophy from one character to another and have that character "consume" it for the checkbox on the achievement.

    With this game now being amazing for Alts, there should be a way to open up achievements (and Motifs BTW), to Alts. Its already been done for dyes. But I do agree it should be optional, like CP, as they can be made available on your Alt but only if you want to.
    I think with the new state of the game after VR removal, there needs to be a rebalancing of what is account-wide and what is character bound.

    If you mean "NO sane person",I guess that makes me insane then.I do them twice,three times,with as many alts as I create.They are fun,and always a great side play.
    Then,I do not agree that dyes need proper crafting.The achievements are just fine for the dyes,in my humble opinion.I dont think they should offer rewards other than titles and dyes either. Just me though.

    Since your poll is a polar poll... as in YES or NO and no in-between, I chose no. If it must be one or the other. I'd prefer it not be shared.

    Now... individual character achievements with an "account achievement tracker"... I'd be totally down for that.

    why should achievements be account wide? cuz its too hard to regain them on your alts?
    only thing you get from achievements are dyes that are account wide, mounts that are account wide, pets account wide, polymoprhs and outfits that are also account wide. [snip]

    Look I will again compare this game with guild wars 2. ONE other reason it is a better MMO system is the account wide achievements (plus all the other reasons I will leave out to keep this relevant). The thing is you actually get something for the massive achievement list: Gold find % boost, Magic find % boost, skins for weapons and armor, currencies, materials, and titles. ESO you get titles, and crappy dyes 90% of the time. At least GW2 you can buy JUST about any dye you would want.

    In the spirit of making people play more different types of character.

    So instead of having 1 main and 4 alt, you have 5 main instead. Which i think is really cool and gives people the option to pick what type playstyle they want for different types of achievement.

    Make achievement account wide please.

    Thanks for the support, and I must say, quite the necro move :smile:

    I'm glad some things like dyes are already account wide but other than that I see no need or reason to make anything else account wide. Certainly not anything with titles attached. The fact you achieved Boethiah's Scythe with your NB does not mean squat when you are playing a mage.

    Titles that come with achievements are meant to be a badge of honor. If characters could share achievements (and thus, titles) a character that has never even entered veteran content could piggy-back on other characters. My stamDK (with which I've never even attempted vMA) would be running around with a flawless title just because my sorc has one. I have greater respect for people who can finish difficult content on harder classes. For example, a vMA completion is harder and should earn greater respect on a dragonknight than on a sorc or a nightblade.

    I don't mind so much about most achievements because the only substantial rewards from them, i.e. dyes and skins, are already account wide. Titles I don't care about.

    Three things suck though.

    1) Crafting writs being based on crafting achievements, including motif styles which can be a MAJOR grind and / or money sink. So if you care about achievements and achievement points - which I don't but I'm sure some do - then is a huge disincentive to play alts.

    2) Certain style materials only dropping based on how many style pages you know for that motif. So this is a huge disincentive to play alts in those regions and to a lesser extent in general.

    3) It can really suck all of the fun out of festivals. Not that I try to get all achievements for every character for every festival but even just doing the easier ones for multiple characters gets tedious very fast.

    I find this a particularly timely problem because I've never liked any of the existing classes and Warden looks so much better to me that I'd never play any of those classes again, including my main character who I've invested a lot of time and effort in getting this stuff for.

    So if Morrowind doesn't come with free change to Warden class or if they don't make this stuff account wide, that makes Morrowind (which I haven't bought yet because of issues like this) much less appealing.

    Some of them, anyway. Every character has to find the shards and books and clear the delves, but trophy-gathering should be a group effort.

    And trait research. Get one character to nine traits, and the others magically get there too.

    And horse training, because I am sick to death of dealing with that.
