Where are the account wide achievements.

I like to play multiple toons, the one thing that gets me most is having to do all of my achievements over again, or having the progress of one not carry over to another character. Do you think it will ever be implemented?

Am i the only one that thinks this is a good quality of life change or not?

yes

You don't *have* to do all achievements all over again. Achievements get you nothing apart from titles.
Else you get dyes (account wide), right to buy furniture (which you can transfer or use on whatever character), and skins (account wide).
There's strictly no point in doing all achievements on all characters - unless you suffer from OCD.

Just ignore the achievements on the alts. The dyes, furniture, and CP are account-wide. All you won’t have is the titles.

I play the alts for different playstyles, not for completionism. My main does the hard work. The alts just freeload.

I Understand what you mean, but lets take the dyes and skins. Lets say you worked towards that achievement on one character, but later down the road swap to another.

Now i know there are some dyes like you get when you complete all quests for one faction that this may not work for, or have to be retooled.

But why should i have to start all over again should i switch characters? The game is basically punishing you for wanting to try a different class.

Ironically i use achievements only to make sure there are things i didnt miss or overlook such as sky shards, or zone completions. So its actually helpful that they are character only to me.

What do you mean? All achievements can be collected on one character. All of them. You can do all three factions.

There are some achievements that are tied to furnishing as well as other objects in ngame.

For example the PVP furniture on each alliance. You have to use different alliances if you want something from the opposing alliances.

Skyshards, if you get the achievement it means you have collected the skyshards. Will skyshards also be account wide? If not then remember achievements are the way to track down (even on addons) things like that. It will be very difficult.

Same for dungeons, public dungeons, group challenges.....

There could be definitely the greyed out method on each individual alt who hasn't done the achievement and in brackets an indicator that the achivement is done account widely of course. (this is the best way in my opinion not to mess much with tracking things and also provide account wide achievements).

There are other games (not mentioning name) that have achievements setup account wide, but you are able to still track what has and hasn't been done on the specific character you are playing on.

This will alleviate concerns people have with things like sky shard achievements to track what they have and haven't collected.

Account wide achievements must come.

1) My achievements and how I get and keep and manage them are my problem, not yours, go take care of your own life.
2) If achievements are so meaningless, why fight for them not to be account wide.
3) I don't want to see new characters running with former emperor title, sounds like a personal problem.

Achievements/titles.

This brings up a good point, titles should be account wide as well. Whether or not I earned it on that character shouldn't matter. I earned it so it should be able to wear it on any character, it recognizes status and dedication.

Radiance · January 2018

Crafting, Motifs, Mount Training and Inventory Space Expansions should be Account wide!!!

Jim_Pipp · January 2018

Another of these threads? I understand that some people really want account wide achievements, and other people really don't want them. Neither side seems to be changing their mind or putting forward good arguments.

Personally I don't want account wide achievements, as it would devalue the system. My 13 alts would randomly have a load of achievement points they hadn't earned, and my main who has been grinding achievements for years would not stand out. I don't see what the advantage of account wide achievements would be.

I wouldn't care if there was a toggle option that let you view either character specific OR accountwide achievements. I think titles do need to stay character specific

Bax · January 2018

Definitely no. A lot of achievements are used to track progress. There are no addons on consoles to help with that.

Also if there are some achievements which truly cannot be done because of alliance choice as someone mentioned (didn't check it myself so idk), then those particular achievements should be changed only.

Still doesn't explain why you demand something useless to be made available on all your characters. You just make no sense.

MMORPG... that's what ESO is... RPG stand for Role Playing Game, right ? That means, we have the opportunity to make different characters with different backgrounds. Not everything is combat related. Many of us want to have one character that is "bad", another one that is "good", another one that respects the law, another one kills and steals, another one that doesn't, one who likes daedras and one that loathes them... etc...
I don't want my lawful character to actually *be* a silencer, nor to be able to wear that title. He's not accountable for what my other characters have done.
See the point ?
Alt characters are NOT meant to be copies of my main with a different skin and abilities.

You can craft anything you want and give it to your other characters. No, wanting to easily get Master Writs on every toon is not a good argument.

Mount Training, I’ll give you that. The 180 days per character is the most ridiculous grind in the game.

Bank is already account-wide, but I actually like the idea of keeping inventory space to the character. Not every toon needs 200 spaces, especially if they’re not a mule.

I enjoy earning the achievements all over again on new characters. It's one of the things that gives purpose to their existence.

But there are those of us that'd prefer to earn those titles on different characters.

Earning titles like Stormproof mean you did them on that character. Its one thing to wear it on the character you did it on, and a whole different thing to wear it on your level 3 brand new character. (Unless you actually got Stormproof on your level 3 brand new character in which my hat is off to you.)

Likewise, I'm going to be all 0.o at anyone wearing Former Emperor on a pre-level 10 character, since those can't even enter Cyrodiil.

And no one is stopping you from earning the achievements all over again that is associated with that title. Simply having the achievements account wide does not mean you can not earn them all over on a different character.

jssriot · January 2018

The dyes and momentos/collectibles you unlock as rewards are account wide and that seems fair enough. Account-wide achievements would remove a big chunk of the replayability of the game, which in this type of game is really bad game design. It's bad enough that CP is account-wide. There needs to be something in the game that allows you to start a new character and it actually feels like a new character and not just a clone of your main.

This is interesting point. NOT having some achievements is sort of achievement itself when it comes to role playing.

idk · January 2018

Very highly doubtful account wise achievements will come to ESO.

Granted, I wouldn't mind being able to see what I've achieved account wise but many titles Clem with achievements and as such each character should always have what it achieved specifically and have only the titles it earned.

Meaning the account wide achievement list would not have any bearing other tha one can see all they we done in total.

Sigtric · January 2018

IMO there should be account achievements and there should be character achievements.

Most, if not all of the achievements in the game currently are character specific and should stay that way.

I guess i need to be clear, this is how i would like it to work.

While you can see what you have already done on other characters, you would still need to complete them on others as well. But anything you do achieve on one character, the rewards should be available to all characters.

What if you dont have Alts, but more than one Main?
What if without the Achievements your brain starts to itch.

If you have more than one main and you don't want to complete achievements on your other main just as you did with your first main, you have no other mains.

Then getting Emperor on all those mains is going to suck, isn't it? Oh, wait, how many hours are you going to put into getting Grand Overlord on multiple characters?

Realistically, very few people will, yet it doesn't make sense to unlock certain achievements, especially PVP achievements on characters you haven't earned them on.
