Achievement system is broken right now

Czekoludek · October 2019

If you have many achievement points (looks like being above 37k is enough) the game will start deleting your progress. I lost all my progress with Pellitine Dragon Stalker (20/50 before, now 0/50). Also some already achieved achivments shows as unearned (How I can achieve again Soul Magic Skill Master if I already have this skillline maxed out?). Am I forced to do all that achis again? What if I lost an important one like speedrun/nodeath/hardmode from vHoF? Will ZoS grant earned achievements back to players or this is a RIP?

Some Hardmode speed runs i've already gotten are giving me the achievement again.

Considering the loading issues on server currently, i wouldn't worry atm.
If the problem remains when server is fairly stable again, possibly in a few hours, then i would send a ticket.

it is lasting since weeks

Aliyavana · October 2019

soul shriven master is a completely new achievement though. a lot of the skillines that didn't have achievements previously added new achievements and were unlocked retroactively. Ex:Siege, psjiic, thieves guild, etc. I wonder if those relocked themselves for you?

One notable achievement that affected everyone is the permanent tenant achievement which locked itself again when they added the chapter apartments to count, but that one could be easily reearned atleast.

This screen has been posted by Walking the 08 october ; sadly he doesn't have a forum account to defend himself ; several > 37k friends are victims since weeks ; we got zero help for now.

The guys lost several DLC achievements ; several skill lines achievements ; their dragon / minion counter doesn't stop to reset to zero ; they made already SEVERAL tickets, in vain Countdownical.....
Many of them are GodSlayers, they are Achievement hunters and now they are so disgusted that some are thinking to quit the game for good ; especially as Zos doesn't give a s.... to their issue.

As long as I'm not losing any unlocked dyes or titles, it's not a big deal. Achievements are mostly meh.

Akin to someone with only one character saying to others who found most their characters suddenly gone, "I only play one character so multiple characters is mostly meh."

I can confirm what you are experiencing. At around 37.2k achievement points my dragon stalker and dragonic minion slayer reset to 0 and the achievements "a new beginning", "leaves on the wind" and "helping the helpless" just vanished after changing zone.

There is also another thread on the same topic, describing the exact same issues: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/498488/achievement-progression

The fact you're not personally interested in it doesn't make it "not a big deal" ; it's like if ppl were losing their AP / PVP rank and answering "it's not a big deal, I don't do PvP". How such an huge code issue can even exist and they're enable to fix it? How can they be such amators! Meanwhile did you read the patch notes! Oh yes they fixed a visual bug in outlaw refuge, hurray !!!!

Czekoludek · October 2019

@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom any word about this issue?

Czekoludek · October 2019

Looks like now even support don't care, they don't want to tell me if I receive lost achievements back after the fix or when they will be fixed. Radio silence even at support ticket is not nice ZoS -.-

IndianaJames7 · October 2019

Well this sounds pretty s****y. I’m just under 32k on main so this issue doesn’t sound like it would affect me, but I can definitely sympathize with your frustrations. Some of these achievements take a huge amount of time/skill/group coordination/rng and the risk that progress can be lost on due to a bug is very concerning.

Hopefully ZOS fixes this properly so the onus isn’t on players to notice when if they have lost an achievement and have to submit a ticket.

RogueShark · October 2019

I think ZoS responded to a bug report about this on how your achievements are still fine 'server-side' it's just a visual error occurring.

Here's some regocnition/posts from Gina.

Apparently it wasn't fixed this patch but they are intending to fix it and it sounds like you won't have to re-earn achieves.

Good the achievements still exists but this bug actually prevents you from getting some achis. For example after killing 25 dragons in new zone i got achi but now number of killed dragons is 0/50 for me, no matter how many i kill. It starts to be really annoying

solasub · October 2019

It's not only a visual bug as the points are lost too.

Katahdin · October 2019

That's annoying
I'd be really angry if some my hard to get achievements were gone

Oh, I know and I'd be very upset to have this occurring and the inconvenience it provides as well. I just wanted to provide a link to ZoS actually responding to this issue that's been going on for a while now in case some people weren't aware of it.

Well if that issue only affects people who have reached very high amount of achievement points on their characters then it's basically affecting very small fraction of a playerbase. Since Dragonhold launch game have lot of issues that affects huge portion of playerbase so it's obvious ZoS will prioritize those. This is just how world works. Achievement hunters who got screwed can just hope it'll get fixed.
