Summary of suggested NEW ACHIEVEMENTS

[Energizeric]

We have had a number of threads suggesting various new achievements that players would like to see, so I have decided to make a new thread with a summary of all of them...

**BEFORE YOU READ THE LIST, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH**

The goal is to have so many achievements that no player could possibly do them all. For example, I hate flagging. However, at this time that is all that is left for me to do to increase my APs. It would be nice if there were other options for me. If there were tons of achievements out there for me to choose to work on, then I could decide not to do flags, and instead concentrate on something else. So please do NOT complain that some of these are too hard -- I realize that they are, and that's why we are adding them. We are going to make sure that no player can ever have a chance to get all the achievements. So that way none of us ever get bored and run out of stuff to do.

Ok, now that we have settled that, here is the list:

1) 50k PvE Kills
2) 100k PvE Kills
3) 500k PvE Kills
4) 1m PvE Kills

5) 50k PvP Kills
6) 100k PvP Kills
7) 500k PvP Kills
8) 1m PvP Kills


The following achievements would be given in the form of quests. When you complete each quest, you are granted the achievement, and you also receive a reward of 100k gold. Any combination of the bosses or mini-bosses from each of these areas will count towards each quest, but bosses defeated in the Shuyal Arena or Bael 2/Krunch 2 will NOT count.

9) Kill 100 Blackenridge Elite Bosses
10) Kill 100 Ydra Forest Elite Bosses
11) Kill 100 Dead City Elite Bosses
12) Kill 100 Kraken Isles Elite Bosses
13) Kill 100 Nordr Elite Bosses
14) Kill 100 Shuyal Elite Bosses


15) Get both shark pets (Hammerjaw, Ripmaw)
16) Get both elemental pets (Glacian, Slag)
17) Get both wraith pets (Samael, Abaddon)

18) Get all 4 monkey pets
19) Get all 4 toucan pets
20) Get all 4 wolf pets (not including Misty)
21) Get all 4 eagle pets
22) Get all 4 bat pets
23) Get all 4 shadow pets


That's all I can think of for now. Let me know what you think....

[Taejo]

Excellent thread. I really hope this takes off in the right direction. Some ideas from me:

Map runs:

1) Complete the entire Arena match 100 times
2) Complete Watcher's Tomb/Tombs of Kraag/Kraken Mines in a certain amount of time (like Hauntlet's 3:30/1:30 APs)

I think some loot achievements would be great. Of course, they can be a quest or coded so that only legitimate drops are counted, not purchases or trades/gifts. For now, these are just rough draft examples:

3) Loot any variation of an Entombed Hammer, Nordr Jewel, and Mountain Teeth weapons (if they don't nerf Bael, then I guess those would count)
4) Loot any variation of Architect Blade, Pylon, and Quill weapons (same note as above)
5) Loot 100 Regular/Elite Golden Chests
6) Loot 100 Regular/Elite Banded Gold Chests
7) Loot 100 Regular/Elite Golden Pirate Chests
8) Loot 100 Regular/Elite Golden Warchests
9) Loot 100 Regular/Elite Golden Puzzleboxes
10) Loot 500 Locked Grand Crates of the Watch

Miscellaneous:

11) Reach the leader board for any amount of time just once
12) Reach the leader board and receive a seasonal banner (1-5)


Not only does Energizeric's idea balance the playing field for people to reach the leader board, but more importantly, with all of these achievements just think of how much satisfying game play there would be available. I would never find myself bored with so many goals to accomplish.

[Emmacheese]

What a great thread! I support this 200% mate!

[Soundlesskill]

The pet achivs would be hard for non plat users. We already have arcane achiv

[Joncheese]

I loooooove all of these ideas. What a brilliant way to inject some more interest into the game, I know for a fact our guild would relish in such new achievements.

[gundamsone]

No mmo should have players with max achievements.
That being said right now b/c many players have and are close to achieving max achievements, it's doing two things.

1. For those who find PVP dull/boring or are at a disadvantage b/c of their weak AOE skills (rogue) *cough cough* it's discouraging b/c players with the same AP are ranked based on their PVE kills.
2. CTF Flags is pretty much the hardest and final achievement people are aiming for so it has been promoting CTF flag farming (===> bad teamplay, b/c the truely selfish ones values AP > playing the game for what it is)

If half the achievements here are implemented, I see many positive things as a result,
ex. discourages many players from "farming" and people will maybe set long-term goals vs farming hard (& screwing up the game for everyone else) in the short-run to place on the LB's
ex. people who enjoy pve can aim for pve ap's while people who enjoy pvp can aim for pvp ap's (ofc it will be balanced)

As Ener has suggested below:
1) 50k PvE Kills
2) 100k PvE Kills
3) 500k PvE Kills
4) 1m PvE Kills

5) 50k PvP Kills
6) 100k PvP Kills
7) 500k PvP Kills
8) 1m PvP Kills

To keep things fair and to keep the whiners out, AP's should be awarded proportional to their difficulty.
Ex.
1) 50k PvE Kills - 100 AP
2) 100k PvE Kills - 200 AP
3) 500k PvE Kills - 300 AP
4) 1m PvE Kills - 500 AP

5) 50k PvP Kills - 300 AP
6) 100k PvP Kills - 500 AP
7) 500k PvP Kills - 700 AP
8) 1m PvP Kills - 1000 AP

There is absolutely no reason to be against these insane achievements because this is how MMO's (the never ending I can't beat this game aspect) truly differentiates itself from console gaming.

etc... you guys get the point

[iluvataris]

Love this thread.

[Energizeric]

I like a lot of these suggestions, although some would require STS to add new programming to the game to keep track of such things like money spent, chests opened, barrels smashed, etc. I'm sure they could do it with quests, but the problem is that quests reset once you are done. So as soon as you smashed your 10,000th barrel, your quest would be complete and now you would have to start over again to get to 25k. The only other way would be to keep track of these items on your stat page, but that would get a little messy since there are so many items.

So I think such things are best left to having a single achievement, and once done there are no more stages. So for example, if you want to have a "Smash <x number> barrels/crates", I suggest deciding on a certain number for x, and that be the only achievement in that category. Then handle some of the other categories like this in a similar way. What is nice is we have 15 quest slots, and I've never used even half of them, so some could be filled with these types of long term quests.

I know they can handle the "kill 100 elite bosses" type of achievement because they already have a quest to kill 20 elite nordr bosses and get an elite gold warchest.

The only suggestion above that I'm not so crazy about is the "loot <certain item>". I never liked the mythic or arcane achievements for this reason as well, although they fixed the arcane achievement so at least you can now purchase an egg and hatch it. But in general, I hate achievements that require luck. Achievements should indicate hard work and skill. I never liked the challenger arena achievement either for this reason.

[KingMartin]

I was thinking of starting such a thread but you were faster, Energ :-)

I don't have much to add and I think if STS adds just 25% of your ideas guys, it will make the game much more interesting.

I had today one failed Inan run with undergeared guildies and I can tell you it is damn hard for the officers to sacrifice time, resources and RL money to help with such APs.

Having greater variety in APs would make the guilds hold together more, IMHO and also it would bring additional motivation of the guys with moderate gear.

Perhaps besides quantity, add also challenging elite goals, like clearing certain no of mobs, fighting enraged bosses, time limits etc.

Also, cap 10 pets for example.

In general, I think we all call for variety.

[Energizeric]

I do like the capping of a certain number of pets. An idea I had posted a couple of months ago (but nobody responded) was to have a "Beastmaster Pro" title which you get if you cap all of the original pets. Yes, this would be difficult, but imagine how busy it would keep some folks.

[Maunyabastian]

My suggestions:

1) End a PvP CTF mode 100, 500, 1000, times. Grants you [True Challenger] title. Each gives 100 Aps.

18) Looted 10 common, rare, epic, and legendary items. 100 Aps.
Once you completed the 3 quests, you granted a new pet and [Looter] title. And also 300 Aps.

19) Completed 10, 50, 100, daily quests. (Bards not include)
Grants [Daily Survivor] title. And 200 Aps.

20) Hit mobs 100, 500, 1000, 5000, and 10000 times! Grants [Pro Combo] title and 200 Aps.

EDIT:
21) Made 10, 50, 100, 500, 1000 teleportations. 50 Aps for 10 and 50. 100 Aps for 100, 500, and 1000.

22) Earned 1000, 5000, 10000, 50000, 100000, 500000, 1000000 golds. 100 Aps for 1000 and 5000. 150 Aps for 10000 and 50000. 200 Aps for 100000, 500000, and 1000000.

This can makes us easily reach [Paragon]. Especially for newcomers.

As usual, feedbacks are very welcome!
Thank's everyone.

[Sceazikua]

15) Get both shark pets (Hammerjaw, Ripmaw)
16) Get both elemental pets (Glacian, Slag)
17) Get both wraith pets (Samael, Abaddon)

these seem a bit impossible for everyone to complete because mythic pets only come from events , and may never come back .

[chitgoks]

and for aps like 1mpve oe pvp for ezample the ap points shoild be more. not the usual 100

I like everything except the new pet achievements, which would require much too much plat

[Haligali]

Nah, no more ap for pvp kills(thats only for rogues)

[bramer]

Nah, no more ap for pvp kills(thats only for rogues)

Yeah, and the "Gain 500 million gold" achievement is only for rich people, so we shouldn't have it
That should not be a thing that stops achievements from happening, there should be some achievements that you cannot get, or have to work very, very, very, very hard to get.

This is bramer - signing out

Like the "10 k flag one"

[Haligali]

Yea, but we should avoid the class specific achievements.

[Cero]

i agree, give more Achievements.
