Think about a vendor that could reward you with pets/mounts/cosmetics that cannot be purchased with crowns or traded by players every 2500 achievement points or so.
If not, what would you suggest to make your achievement points relevant outside of bragging rights?

✭✭✭✭✭YesA lot of people suggested a similar system, would be interesting to see what's can come of it but honestly I'm fine with it being here just for display, especially as I'm sure people with less than 30-40k would complaint heavily on it being a "lock" as some achievements are "too hard". Idk if it's worth for zos to be yet again under the fire for doing so.0 -
Syldras✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭If they add this, I won't say no to some bonus, as the system exists anyway and achievements accumulate while playing even without going for achievements intentionally, but don't really need it.
I personally find the concept of playing just to get rewards a bit weird. Of course it's nice to get something within a quest (at best something that makes sense context- and lorewise - like an npc gifting you something as a thank you), but basically working off a checklist just to get something? No. A good game is fun in itself and doesn't lure you into doing things you don't really enjoy much by offering rewards for that.@Syldras | PC | EU

✭✭✭✭✭NoMy other MMO does this and I'm pretty much indifferent to it.

✭Yes
Yeah, weird to see people basically saying "I would not like to get some more rewards for my time" haha the game does need more ways to earn things simply from playing, not just via spending money on the crown store and I think an achievement based reward system would be a reasonable way to do so. Not an at all necessary feature.... but it definitely wouldn't hurt, that's for sure. Would be a nice little bonus here and there for completionists/achievement hunters.Edited by fizzylu on January 31, 2023 10:03AM3 -

✭YesThere are already far too many currencies in this game.
So you don't want to see any reward structure added if they involve a currency? I'm willing to have another currency added if it means I'm able to readily receive mounts & cosmetics outside of the crown store. But to each their own!ESO YouTube Content Creator & Templar Tank/Healer Main0 -

This argument can be said for many things in the game - many things are unobtainable:
- Crowns & crown crates for people that cannot afford them - frustrating
- Gold for buying houses because people don't have time to grind gold - frustrating
- CP 1400 (the effective cap for having your CP fully loaded out) - frustrating
You're not "spending" achievement points, you are rewarded for achieving a certain achievement point threshold. For instance:
- Once you reach 2500 achievement points, you recieve a pet in your collections
- Once you reach 5000 achievement points you recieve a basic mount in your collections (equivalent of epic rewards from crates)
- and so on
When you've obtained all the rewards from this system, that are only unlockable through this system, well then you're done! Similar to gaining a dye or title for the first time! You reach a threshold - I.e. killing 1000 natural monsters - and you get a dye! You're done. I just mean a way to reward you for reaching so many achievement points in game. Just another gameplay loop and a method of rewarding players things from the crown store rather than charging for more stuff.ESO YouTube Content Creator & Templar Tank/Healer Main1 -

In my view it's time we stopped structuring games so that people who don't have the time to play them fully get the same level and pace of advancement as those who do.2 -

Billium813✭✭✭✭✭
✭NoI like the idea of turning Achievement points into something... but redeemable for crown store items doesn't seem right. We have achievement furnishers and I would like to see them expand on that concept more.
For instance, I had the idea of "Wandering Artisans" that sold Epic and Legendary recipes and furnishing plans based on the zone they are wandering in. I could see zone achievements being a form of currency, or just unlock, for these coveted recipes and plans. At the moment, you just find these recipes/plans through total RNG by mindlessly searching all containers... would be nice for an alternative, in game achievable way of getting these.1 -

I sort of agree - I don't want a currency, rewards at certain point amounts is the way to go. Example - you get your first 10k Achievement Points, grats you get say, I dunno 2k crowns.Please support my Quality of Life Suggestions here:

✭YesWhy do the achievements have points anyway? Is there anything attached to the points?
I'd like to see the points translate to crowns (or endeavor seals). A 10 point achievement gives you 10 crowns.0 -
DarcyMardin✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭NoI don’t really care too much because there already are rewards for achievements—dye colors, for example. The achievement vendors selling furniture items. Certain costumes, pets, etc. that unlock as your level and/or CP rises — maybe they could add more of these at higher CP? We also get skins for some dungeon achievements, etc.
I’d probably find it more appealing to be given a nice cosmetic item, like a mount or a costume, after putting *time* into the game. (But of course, I am biased, having been here for over 9 years).0 -
Danikat✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭NoFor what it's worth I'm not against it so much as indifferent.
I think there's no chance ZOS will give us crowns (or crown gems, or seals or any other cash equivalent currency) for achievements. Instead it would be like the existing reward systems - certain achievements give titles, dyes, costumes or unlock furnishings. Each time you cross an achievement point threshold (like 100, 500, 1000, 1500 etc.) you get a pre-determined reward, likely similar to the ones achievements already give.
It's not a bad system but it's unlikely there would be anything I want enough to be worth going out of my way to get it by doing achievements I'm not otherwise interested in. I already have that in Guild Wars 2. Every so often a 'random' reward turns up and when I open it I find out it's from achievement points. It goes into my inventory or collections and maybe at some point later I'll use it, but it doesn't motivate me and I never think about or look at the stuff I haven't got.
So there's no benefit for ZOS or for me in adding this system.PC EU player | She/her/hers | PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!
