    No, it's a way for lazy people. Do you really wish to have achievement for all those delves and public dungeons be shared between characters? What interest then in doing them on other alts?

    First question: Yes.
    Second question: Many other reasons. To name a few - get desired gear, get needed monster helms, help friends out with necessary class, some of them are fun, raise undaunted level.

    Yes it is. Just separate titles from achievements and everyone will be happy.

    It isn't needed and not everyone will be happy. Some have worked hard to get the more time intensive achievements on multiple characters. Zos should not slap them in the face by making it easier for players that want it all given to them in a much easie fashion.

    No, ZOS actually should slap them in the face to reduce their elitism and "I struggled, make others struggle too" whining. Nobody can actually see your achievements, unless you'll link them in the chat. This is your own personal business and nobody should take care of it. Only titles matter something. Separation them from achievements will make them even more useful.

    A lot of those "time intensive achievements" earned people other things too like bragging rights for time played and more CP experience. There's plenty to flex your digital muscles over.

    A feeling of personal satisfaction. Kind of like when you get all the house cleaning done and you sit down to relax for the night.

    Isn't having all achievements on a single character enough for that?

    Not when I change my mind every patch on which of my 4 magicka characters I like playing the most.

    I don't consider myself having 1 main, even though my mNB was my first and has the most content completed.

    To reiterate, I am completely fine with some things not being shared (including titles). I do however feel the need for a central tracking system for the account. The idea posted above would serve this need well.

    I want to make every new character I make instantly level 50.

    Seriously though, why can't you just feel satisfied that you already have all that achievements on a character and the alt you have is just there to serve your gameplay's sanctification?

    That and this are two completely different things entirely. ZoS is creating account-wide housing that indirectly grants account-wide titles and achievements. Homestead was conceptually an account-wide thing. Armor dyes were conceptually an account-wide thing. One Tamriel allowing you to play your character in any alliance zone and do all of their quests with friends at any level was conceptually an account-AND-alliance-wide thing. . .

    The reason people arguing against you in this thread isn't because we want you to suffer or do more or even that we care about you in any way shape or form. It's because you're asking for something that would conceptually change so many aspects of achievements as though it's some easy fix; like the new intern Paul McGreggor who just started working 2 days ago just has to open a config.txt file somewhere and change "Achievementunlock=character" to "Achievementunlock=account." But that isn't how it is, that would require resources and time for a change that quite frankly adds little to absolutely no impact on the game at all, EXCEPT that you guys would no longer be crying about it. And you know what? Let's say they do put the time and effort into it. What do you get out of it? What is it that you're actually trying to achieve by championing this cause of global achievements? Are you sad because you were out adventuring, and some new player walked by and saw someone next to you had a Master Angler title, and said, "YER NOT A MASTA ANGRLAr LIK DAT GUY?" and you couldn't flash your own Master Angler title and achievement right there on the spot? Like ffs short of the obvious (thread title) I have no idea what you're actually hoping to accomplish. The only argument any of you fools have put TOWARD it is like . . . "but . . . but mom I did it once before!" as if that in itself means anything other than you've done it before. It makes you sound entitled. THAT is why people are against you. You have to put forth actual reasoning when you say why you want something, instead of just "Well we didn't have this before so it's about time we have it now! Woo! Everyone bandwagon agree on me!" That's the sort of attitude that gets people to revolt against you even if you had good intent.

    Oh just saw it. No I think people are arguing namely for us to suffer. There's no reason for them to think that something like you're describing is going to happen. Everything we suggest is to adjust the system a little bit so that us, achievement-hunters, could see our progress in unique achievements and not be forced to grind more than we already do.

    What we're hoping to accomplish? It's not about some guy telling us that we don't have a title, no. It's about us being shafted by the game and ZOS. The game is becoming more and more grindy since release. Yeah, I only played one character. But with all this RNG and drop rate from dailies, I was pretty much forced to make alts so that farming motifs doesn't take forever. And then what they do? They make collectibles character-bound even though they were account bound before. So now, while doing dailies (and I do them on my main first) I get collectibles that I never got on my main in 3 years playing. But I can't give them to him. How is that fair, can you explain? It was ME, not the character, who spent his time, yet I don't collectible grinding it on my main and then it drops to my alt while I"m doing a daily. And I'm only using that alt to get a daily and roll for a motif one more time - it has nothing to do with him being a separate character etc etc, no. It's the mechanics of the game that made me use an alt, I'll highlight it - made ME USE an ALT. And with the current system, I'm feeling like I'm wasting my rolls and my time getting those collectibles on alts, for example.

    And yes, there's no reason not to have a system like in wow - which would simply let me see my progress in unique achievements, but I would still see which characters completed them and which didn't.

    And someone said - if you want achievements to be account-wide - play one character. I WOULD LOVE that!! I would love if we all only had 1 character slot so that the choices would really matter or I would love if the game didn't have such low drop rates on everything that I wouldn't be forced to make alts, just to get motifs within a year.

    It's getting tiresome.It was mentioned at least 5 times in the thread - YOU WILL STILL see if the achievement was completed on that character. We are asking for the system that would allow us to see if an achievement was completed by us before, that's it. Not to delete any indication of which character completed the achievement.

    I'll be satisfied when there is a better system in place. It is outdated at the moment.

    I never understood this thing of characters having it own achievements. in DCUO it the same thing, every character have it own Feats (the same thing as achievements) people cried out loud for them to be accounts wide (or at least the most annoying ones)[/quote]

    Lease with ESO you get better inventory space even without subscription compared to DCUO. :p

    It really is time to stop suggesting stupid stuff.

    Just play your main or earn them with the new character. Where do you really need them anyway? Colors are allready account wide and thats basically only thing those things add to the game.

    Nonsense. What you claim is stupid, others in this post have found to be something they desire. If you haven't taken the time to read some of these replies throughout this thread (to see both sides), please do so.

    Pvp ranks are the only achievements I feel should be account wide. And not all the pvp achievements. Just the ranks. It's showing your skill as a player. Whether your on a new toon it won't take long for you to reach a level of skill you had on your main if you play it constantly. Considering that general is the halfway point to reaching grand overlord and it can take months to even get that far who would want to grind out a second on another character. Something like that should be displayable across all rooms. As well as titles. These would help to show players that even though your toon is new you are not and that you know the mechanics for dungeons and trials. So that's my opinion. Pvp ranks and dungeon trial titles.

    PVP achievments account wide? I dont think its good because having a PVP achievment on character basis, it means ytou can play with that character but it does not mean that if you can do something on NB, you can do the same with Sorcerer.

    Even while todays mentality is, that "I" or "YOU" achieved something, not the character, these achievments mean that you can do that with that character and that you have invested valuable time from your life to achieve something with a certain character/class.

    And why do you need gear? Or to complete a dungeon? Or to hit a certain score/spot on leaderboards? Or kill someone in pvp?
