✭YesObviously titles need to be earned per character but achievements should be account wide.0 -

I don’t really care about the title issue, but you could certainly remove them from the account wide page and leave them just tied to the character page so you don’t have a bunch of level 10 flawless conquerors running around.
That way nobody can be upset. If you want to treat each toon separately, fine. If you are someone that likes to play a lot of alts, but doesn’t like repeating a lot of content, you can still get a snapshot of your total progress.
This is what I would support. But a yes/no without such qualifications (ie, that individual character achievements will be left intact) can only get a NO from me.The Moot Councillor2 -
akredon_ESO✭✭✭✭YesI would be fine with account wide achievements, I mean if you already did the work whats the issue? Now i am not saying we give all the physical benefits of doing these. So you will still have to work for your Fighters guild and all that stuff its just a general Account contributions. IF i get someone on one toon that i dont have on a another then it would add to the over all total. WOW ( even though i hate referencing that game in this one) Has an achievement point system very similar to that
As long as your account doesn't have the achievement then it contributes to your account.Edited by akredon_ESO on April 10, 2019 6:52PM0 -

✭✭✭✭✭NoOne of the many things people have always requested - but eso devs are either too lazy and/or not talented enough to do this.
- Need account-wide achievements so grinding achievements doesn't become a chore.
- Need a website armory so we can follow guild/player achievements without having to login (when travelling etc).
- Need an android/ios app that gives us very basic functionality.
Or perhaps they just don't agree with it? Or perhaps they don't see why they should pander to those who insult them so freely and unnecessarily.2 -

✭✭✭✭NoOne of these threads again?
Why your MagDK has to have Flawless Conqueror title if the one that got the vMA no death was your easy-mode one-bar pet Magsorc?
If you want your MagDK to wear the title, then you have to have the needed skills with the MagDK too.

^^ can we have this instead. Makes more sense than this account wide achievement plea.

PrayingSeraph✭✭✭✭✭YesYES! Achievements are near worthless as is! There's no point in them currently unless you're doing it for a reward!
Sure, I can get roleplaying arguement, but something so niche as roleplaying shoukd not overtake competitiveness and player sense of achievement in a video game.
Like if I do Master Angler, I want people to be able to know that on any character I use. Because *I* did it. I sure as hell don't want to have to do such an achievement on every freaking character JUST to display it
Like seriously, achievements are nearly worthless right now and I have seen no arguement on this thread that convinces me otherwise0 -
Rev Rielle✭✭✭✭✭
✭It's not entirely what you asked, but personally I'd just be happy with basic zone Skyshard and Waypoints being account-wide. It's not really a DLC achievement but more a function based request. Skyshards especially; they're the one thing that turns me - and know some others - off starting a new character: the thought of collecting all those basic (i.e. the ones you go around and absorb) landscape skyshards again.If you can be anything, be kind.0 -
Scythe_Mercer✭✭✭YesWhile I think ‘yes’ it should be an option it is an *option* you don’t *have* to buy it if it becomes purchasable. Some people just want to avoid the grind they already did on their main otherwise it’s just ‘rinse and repeat’ gameplay. Again if it does become purchasable it’s an *option* you’re not forced to buy it.0 -

So have specific achievements to character and others to account0 -

Title and achievement should be separated, i agree. But achievement should be account wide for the DLC1 -

This actually i dont agree, the grind should be there but what we need is the freedom to gain achievement on alt toon and still be counted towards the same pool.0 -

Ragnork✭✭✭✭✭NoVaranisArano wrote: »Some achievements are character dependent. Its quite different to get a no death run on a healer than a tank or DD. I have achievements in PVP on my MagDK that I don't have on my Stam Sorc yet, which is reflective of my experience and performance on those two characters. It's different completing vMA on different classes, etc.
Why should I have access to "link an achievement" that I haven't accomplished yet on that character?
I built a character to be my master thief. She would be uncomfortable to be also tagged with "silencer".
I will build characters to do content and will achieve content on each character.
If others want achievements account wide; heck why not let them switch between warewolf and vampire at will - so long as it costs a vast amount of crowns and or gems.

don_kwek✭✭✭YesYeah titles are external, achievement is internal. Its like a to do list, who wants a redundant list ?0

✭you can always use addon that summarise all your achivements among all your characters and show them in same achivement window.0 -

Just as many have said no. Throw in that the players visiting the forums are such a small minority so requests here may or may not represent the majority of players.
The reason we do not have account wide achievements is because MMO's survive on repeated content. Has nothing to do with being lazy on the developers part nor a lack of talent. It simply wouldn't be good for the long term health of the game.
And personally I believe if something is becoming a grind or a chore in the game you are doing it wrong.and then the parrot said, "must be the water mines green too."1 -
don_kwek✭✭✭YesThat's why account wide achievement should be on DLC content, we have new goals each time.0

Tandor✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭No
No, just players who like the game as it is, recognise it to be a role-playing game that is character-based first and foremost in line with a long tradition of PC-based role-playing games both single player and multiplayer, and don't agree with the constant demands to dumb the game down.
The game is already very evenly balanced between those who want everything account-wide and those who want everything character-specific, and has just taken a massive step towards the former with the option to buy skill points for alts in the Crown Store.
I agree entirely that there should be a level playing field across the platforms, and that console players miss out on the addons available to PC players - not all of whom use them, I personally have never installed a single one.
I have also proposed/agreed with a number of times an account-wide summary of achievements accessed from the character selection screen so that people can see which achievements they have and with which character. Special rewards including titles should be available to those who have completed an achievement on the account regardless of how many characters it took them to do it, but the basic rewards unlocked by achievements such as any form of leadership/conquering title or unlocking of skill points etc should only be available to those characters who earned them.
All of that would involve progress, and I'm all for it. I remain against dumbing the game down and removing the whole point for many people in playing multiple characters which is to play the game fully with them. That doesn't make me a troll.Edited by Tandor on April 13, 2019 10:27AM3 -
Xoelarasizerer✭✭✭NoMaybe some unique, new "account wide achievements" that are separate from the character exclusive ones would be a neat addition.
Merging the current achievements or making future content zone/event/dungeon achievements account wide? LOL Nah.1 -

This is something that is needed, yes.starkerealm wrote: »It'd be odd for a person who just washed up from Cold Harbour be considered a Silencer or Master Thief without the credentials other than "I knew/am somehow related to a guy!"
Edit: It's odd enough there are characters lower than level 10 waltzing around in Emperor's Regalia.
So, you're saying that no former emperors have ever wound up in Coldharbour... because I can think of one off hand...
Yes, but we do not walk out of character generation as a level 3 that is the former Hero of Tamriel. Each character earns that. The basis for this game, and Elder Scrolls, is that a relatively unknown person goes on to achieve great things. Whatever past they had is essentially forgotten, or is so mundane as to be forgettable.
Personally, I am a firm believer in the idea that if a player wants to get achievements on multiple characters, then they need to do the work to get those achievements. If they don't want to do the work, they don't want the achievements bad enough, and they don't get them. I would imagine many here are very happy ZOS makes these decisions instead of me.
ZOS is much more forgiving than I have ever been on this subject.

✭✭NoI refer you to my previous 300 answers - basically no, each of my characters is different and earns their own results by the things they do or don't do.
Equally if they want to implement a filterable account achievements screen on the load pages somewhere so that you can see the combined total of what you have done across all your accounts then I have no objection, don't really see the appeal but whatever you do you.
Personally I don't see how they will cope with this post-shard selling - because the same people who demanded shards without effort will now complain that they paid for the shards so they should get the title too. Maybe they will require you to go to the skyshard location and interact with the shard if you want the achieve as well?
