How important are achievements for you personal enjoyment of your game?

whitecrow · May 2023

I am closest to the first one, but really I don't think about them much at all, they are just nice when they do pop up.

Yeah, where is the "only a little bit" choice? There only Important, Very Important, and Not At All.

They're not part of the "enjoyment", and I don't obsessively pursue them. But I'll do some if they have a particular dye or other interesting bonus. (still not the crazy ones, though. A dye isn't enough to get me to do gameplay that I'm not interested in, for instance)

And I'm definitely missing individual achievements on my character that's leveling Scrying right now - those little skill boosts from the achieves were really useful.

The stickerbook is tangible to me. I like veteran and hard modes for the challenge and the rewards, but don't count titles and achievements as such. In one case achievements actively interfere with my enjoyment of the content. I'm talking about BGs. The scoresheet that's shoved in your face at the end remains unfathomable to me. Achievements such as "near death kill" are nonsense. Congratulations, you almost died? That's not something you aim for.

those ones are actually funny, the ones that count for getting kills under a specific amount of health also count if you get the kill after you died too, like the series of achievements for getting kills under 10% hp, 0% is under 10% so it will count if you hit everything with dots and you die but the dot kills the enemy lol

i dont know if the BG medal works the same, but those arent achievements (except for a very specific few of them, like healing X amount to relic carriers in a match which have an equivalent achievement)

More interested in the rewards attached to the achievement, like house items, dye, titles to a lesser extent, mounts. The achievement itself means nothing to me.

I like to complete everything but I know there are some achievements I will never get and I am okay with that. I am not into trials anymore and I lose out on those but oh well. I have learned to "Let it go".

They don't mean anything really unless their connected to some sort of reward, cosmetic or otherwise.

GOTTA CATCH EM ALL!!!!

I wont go out of my way to get one. Ill do what ever i feel like doing and get acheivement along the way. For psn trophy i might do a small detour if simple enough.

I am somewhere in between option one and option three. I don't care much for most achievements, yet some of them I like, and some come along by themselves while I'm playing. If I have fun achieving them I do them. And if I get something I like for it (like furniture), but without farming too intensive. There's enough struggle in real life.

Always depends on the achievement - if is has a cool dye or a pet, outfit or mount I like I will try to get it or if it's a fun achievement like eaten that rotten dish in CoA

If it's grindy or extremely unfun for me - big no

Once upon a time, when I just started my journey in ESO, I was chasing achievements. Now I only play for fun, I pay no attention to achievements... Perhaps except for those that give any items or dyes as a reward.

BlueRaven · May 2023

Achievements that unlock a reward (like dyes, or furniture, etc) are nice.

Achievements that don’t, I really don’t care about.

I don't care about the titles. I want the Dyes.

ADarklore · May 2023

I only find out about Achievements when I actually see them pop up after acquiring one. Although, I have gone after specific achievements if I needed the dye associated with one of them. That's about all my interest is in them.

DreamyLu · May 2023

None of the options match in my case. For me, it fully depends on the game.
- ESO is for me a side game in which I chill solo. I have no objective else than relaxing and zero interest for achievements.
- In my main game, it's different. First am guild leader, what is work, and aside of that, I'm interested in everything of the game content, touching all of the wide choice of activities (jumping content, underwater content, mounting content, area content, flying content, main storyline, living storyline, world vs. world, raids, and so on...). For all of those, I want as many achievements as possible.

I used to care about achievements, until account wide achievements became a thing. That killed it for me.
