Broken Xbox achievements. Everything you need to know.

There are lots of threads already on broken xbox achievements at the moment but I felt many were spreading incorrect information or were only detailing half the issue.

There are currently 3 broken/unobtainable achievements in the game at the moment.
The ‘savior of elsweyr’ achievement introduced in the elsweyr chapter has been broken since dragonhold launched on November 5th 2019.
The ‘big score’ achievement introduced in the imperial city dlc has been broken since dragonhold launched on Nov 5th 2019.
The ‘wrothgar adventurer’ achievement introduced in the orsinium dlc has been broken since late October. (Last confirmed unlock was 21st oct 2019).
These dates are sourced from an achievement tracking site named, True Achievements.

The in game achievements are working fine. You will receive the associated score and title without issue. It is the linked xbox achievements that are broken.

This is not the same issue as the very rare glitch that requires people to complete an achievement a second time on another character. These achievements will not pop no matter how many times you do them.

This is not an issue caused by server and achievement issues that have been happening to xbox recently.

The two dragonhold achievements launched broken and were fixed 3 days later. Presumable these achievements are affected by the same issue but unfortunately went unreported prior to the achievement fix.

I’ve seen some people say that the fix should be retroactive. If I were to share my opinion though I would much rather just see these unlockable one way or another. They don’t take that long to do on a second character.

Myself and many others eagerly await to hear news of a fix for this issue.

If you are affected please comment below in order to bring attention to the issue so that the devs will find this.

    I agree on the fix, I don't agree on doing them again. Make them retroactive or dump a couple thousand crowns on us for our loss of time.

    I got the "hero of clockwork city" achievement in ESO but it didn't unlock on XBOX.

    I fear that making it retroactive would make it more effort that it's worth for the devs and that we would never see a fix.
    I ended up getting savior of elsweyr ready to pop on another character once I realised it was broken. It took me around 10-12 hours starting on a fresh character. It just seems so negligible compared to the 550+ hours I spent getting every other achievement.

    The hero of clockwork city achievement is not broken like these 3 are. It sucks that it happened to you but you are able to do the achievement on a second character and have it pop. Please see point 2 and 3 of the post for what caused your issue.

    My POINT is that I shouldn't have to go after the achievement a second time just to find out if it is truely broken according to your specifications.

    Also, if you want people to reference your POINTS, use "bullet points" or numbers for easier location in a wall of text.

    Greymoor has launched and still no fix regarding these achievements. We're all ready to see some action zenimax.

    Nope, that is a different glitch. These achievements don't work for anyone and it doesn't matter how many times you do them.

    It would be nice if Zenimax at least acknowledge the broken achievements and tell us if they're working on a fix. It's been a long time and every post seems to be ignored.

    The weird thing is they did acknowledge it at the end of last year but it's been silence ever since.

    Oh really? That makes it even worse then. They've been broken for 7-8 months now and no word on a fix or even an update to say they're still working on it.

    It would be good if we could get an update regarding this. I've submitted a ticket regarding this a while ago but it was effectively ignored since they want you to contact Xbox support, who in turn say that Zenimax needs to resolve it.

    Submitting an in-game bug report does not guarantee that it will be investigated at all, since we get no formal acknowledgement nor reply about it.

    It looks like the Dragonhold DLC patch v1.18.0.0 patch introduced the problem, since no one on Xbox Live has unlocked these 3 achievements since early Nov 2019.

    I've submitted multiple tickets myself and know plenty of others who have aswell. Seems everyone is just getting a stiff ignoring. Poor show Zenimax.

    Literally not a single person on Xbox has unlocked these achievements since November 2019 and not a single peep from Zenimax...

    I havent renewed my ESO plus in 6 months because if it... and skipped the new dlc.

    I wont login again until I know they fixed these. Specifically for me, Savior of Elsweyr.

    I have the same issue. Like you say, it is frustrating that you spend all this time in Wrothgar and Elsweyr to get nothing. I have the in-game achievement, but no Xbox achievement.

    Similar to you guys I have put in bug reports but as you don't get a response you don't even know if they have acknowledged it.

    I was hoping this would have been fixed in the Greymoor update, but nothing.

    Hopefully in the next patch update......

    Waiting for Zenimax to acknowledge and work toward a fix
  • barnabysmithb16_ESO
    We're coming up to 9 months of some of these being broken with no update or acknowledgement about what's happening.

    Needs to be sorted considering most of us pile hours and hours into each zone and to be awarded nothing is a joke
