How do you feel about account-wide achievements?

eso_lags✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭I think the current system is stupid no matter how you look at it. So few people will ever try to complete all the achievements on multiple characters. Its the biggest grind in the game. And for people like me who do everything its incredibly annoying.
I wish I could sometimes take a break from doing everything on my main, but its pointless when thats the class im grinding achievements on. I mean its probably the last thing im worried about in this game but it would be nice if some of them, at least, were account wide so you could do achievements on different characters.
Like crafting ones for example. Who is going to do the crafting achievements on multiple characters? Every motif? Why? Its craziness. Fishing I could understand, even though I wish it was account wide. I could see people wanting to do the challenge of getting master angler on multiple characters and knowing the effort it took. Pvp and dungeon achievements would also make sense staying just character, even though, again, I would rather they were all account wide.. But exploration, crafting, and questing ones should 100% be account wide.3 -

✭✭Some achievements and all titles should definitely not be account-wide, vMA is a different challenge on some classes for example.
Things like motifs, riding lessons, bag space, collectibles or monster trophies should be account-wide.

This again???I think this was talked about a lot already and I know we have "mains" for the achievements, but for the sake of convenience don't you want account-wide achievements?
-Imagine the "Beat Dead Horse" meme of your choice here which seems is nowadays deemed "inappropriate" by the powers that be-
We have had sooo many discussions about this stilly idea...
...and I say once again, it makes no sense, and IF the powers that be EVER would go there, they will do it JUST like skyshards and guilds - by letting you pay a hefty chunk of crowns to mirror progress from your main(s).
Still sounds like such a good idea, if you gotta pay through the nose for it???
Dye unlocks are -already- account wide. Have been from the start! Didn't you know???Also that makes dyes account wide which is also really good.
One of the other things I always mention when this topic comes up...
...is that we don't need anything more accout wide then we already have, BUT... we sure could use an "Account Achievement Overview"!
Like... a page at the the character selection screen, that shows ALL the achievements you have, well, achieved, on all your characters, when you did it with which character, etc.
Possibly also with extra rewards for multiple completions... like "Do mainstory with every class, get mannimarco outfit pieces" or "Reach PvP rank -x- in every alliance, get special ambassador costume" or "play every race to level 50, get special furniture piece" and so on...

Dyes are already account-wide.
A sizeable number of them are, anyway. I haven't earned them all yet, so I don't know if there are any that AREN'T account-wide. But all of the ones I've unlocked so far on my main are accessible by all of my other characters.

They could keep achievements character specific, but add a toggle in the journal that lets you see what you have across characters. Maybe add how many characters you have it on, etc.3 -

There's an add-on, if you're on PC, that gives you your total across all characters, drop down menus, etc... awesome for achievement point seekers. Kyoma's Global Achievements.

My prediction for Zos actually implementing this:
Achievements are now account wide, however-
Overland achievements give 78% less achievement points..
Achievements have points?¿?
What do you get for them?

...and now I miss playing Skee-ball at the boardwalk. And trading a couple dozen tickets for some plastic spider rings, because everything else cost 10-1000x as much.

No we don’t need it. Dyes are available account wide.
Rank should not be account wide or achievements because they were done on a specific character and class.
It would take away what little there is to character depth and worth.

So, you put the Grand Master Crafting Title on an Alt that does not have any crafting skills. Then someone asks you to make something. First thing you have to tell them is, I need to log to my crafter....
Your example is the reason why Achievements should be Character specific.
Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

I wouldn't care. I main one char for years and still do. It would make less work on an alt if anything but I am the person that sits in the middle of it doesn't really matter what way they do it for that system.

Oreyn_Bearclaw✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭Some will say yes, some will rage and say something about character identity, but the answer is so obvious.
Say it with me:
Leave character achievement tabs EXACTLY how they are, but add another tab that shows account wide progress on all achievements. Leave titles bound to the character page.
That way if you want to RP with your lawful good character that would never touch a thieves guild quest, fine. But if you want to know how much of the game you have done as the player, well, you can know that too.
I am traditionally an achievement hunter. That ship sailed a long time ago in ESO. I have a good chunk of the achievements in this game, but they are spread over a dozen toons. If we had account wide achievements, my playtime in this game would sky rocket because I would immediately start going after them again. As it is now, I chase skins and a handful of titles.Edited by Oreyn_Bearclaw on April 7, 2020 6:09PM1 -

Actually, that example is why titles should be specific. 1 -
Seperatist✭✭✭Would be nice but it's never gonna happen and think zos already explained that once long time ago, stuff like undaunted, mages guild and fighters are kinda bound to achievements, besides now when they added skyshards hunter achievements for each specific zone and started to sell it via clown store just makes it more difficult. Like ok they could cut leveling achis aka lvl 50 hero, but again imagine creating freshly new character and getting lvl 50 immediately cuz it's achievement also, undaunted 10, mages guild, psijic etc, even grand overlord, that's just not gonna happen and if such would ever be released look for it in clown store highly overpriced ofc. Not saying i'm against that, having myself over 39k points on one char atm and happened multiple times in the past getting some achis first on alts especially trophy grind stuff Immoltal ledeemel, (un)chained, Gryphon Fat, Thicc Tocc Tolmenter, Grand overbruhlord, Kekslayer.

xaraan✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭I wouldn't mind it showing both.
There are some character specific achievements that matter, as well as titles related to those characters.
But having a total of both would be one way to do it, probably not worth the effort imo with all the other stuff that needs done to the game.-- @xaraan --

Dyes from the achievements are already account wide. Momentos too. So titles arent but titles are indicative of character accomplishment. In short it doesnt really matter if they are. The important parts are account wide already.Joined September 20130 -

✭✭✭✭✭I wouldn't be opposed to an achievement overview where you can see all you achievements across characters.
But it is absolutely essential that each character retain their own achievement tracking as it is now. That's how most of us keep track of what our characters have done in terms of dungeons, zone completion, skyshards, etc.I think the current system is stupid no matter how you look at it. So few people will ever try to complete all the achievements on multiple characters. Its the biggest grind in the game. And for people like me who do everything its incredibly annoying.
I wish I could sometimes take a break from doing everything on my main, but its pointless when thats the class im grinding achievements on.

Pvp and dungeon achievements would also make sense staying just character, even though, again, I would rather they were all account wide.. But exploration, crafting, and questing ones should 100% be account wide.
And for me it's the exact opposite. Having completed an achievement on my main incentivizes me to use an alt for activities that involve that achievement.
Open 1000 chests? I'm on my 5th character for that, and that's the character that goes out and looks for treasure maps.
Daedric Generals? My main doesn't do dolmens anymore. That's now my warden's job.
Someone needs help with a dungeon or public dungeon? Let me bring a character that needs those as well.
The Jester's Festival came around again? Hey, my Necromancer has never done it. Let's have him get the achievements for that.

Same here. To me, account-wide achievements are like having a single player RPG game, like Skyrim or Fallout, that you can play only once. If ESO had launched like that, I would have moved on years ago.XBox EU/NA:@ElsonsoJannus

I don't think that in all the gazillion threads on account-wide achievements a single person has ever disagreed with the bolded suggestion. Then again, the problem with these threads is that no original poster has ever asked for that, they simply want everything on every character.1 -
Fischblut✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭I love that many things in ESO are account-wide
I would love to have account-wide achievements and titles as well
Achievements are now account wide, however-
Overland achievements give 78% less achievement points.
Vet dungeon achievements show up as completed in your journal, but no longer award achievement points.
We don't get any rewards for collecting achievement points, so they are techincally useless - no matter the amount.Would be nice but it's never gonna happen and think zos already explained that once long time ago,
Everything which was "never gonna happen", has happened in the past - or is about to happen (for example, confirmation of upcoming Alliance Change tokens in one of recent threads).

FatherDelve✭✭✭Everything that smell slightest like WoW Insta Gratification we should fight back. We can talk about Horse Training maybe, we can talk about Skill Lines, but the problem is, if you ever enter this door of Insta Gratification, people wont stop demanding. And we dont have a dank 2004/05 "Classic" Game, that can stop our downfall.
Especially with the upcoming Skyrim, we will get flooded by WoW and Skyrim people. Everything will be to hard for them, everything needs to get fast and instant, because "omg dude I have a job and a family". Yes, maybe, but there is no reason to hurry up to achieve anything like in your beloved World of Warcraft, Friend. You can take your time and get on 18 Chars per Account your Godslayer.
We cant and we shouldnt open the door for Insta Gratification, more then it already is. If everyone is a winner, at the end NOBODY is a Winner, Achievements feeling dull, and soon people will cry for an ESO Classic.
