He expressed an opinion, just like you. Who's being rude? Both opinions are valid, you feel persecuted and unloved by STS, and xeriouss finds humor in overwrought protestations over a game. My opinion is that I should go have a drink and forget what we were talking about.
Definition of "Achievement" from the dictionary:
A thing done successfully, typically by effort, courage, or skill.
Now the Arcane Achievement is actually an achievement. Before it wasn't, it was just a thing of luck. If they are going to call it an achievement, it should be one, meaning you can achieve it by effort or skill (courage doesn't apply here since it's just a game). Before it didn't matter how much effort you made or how much skill you had. Now it does matter, which is how it should be.
BTW, this is not going to result in the Arcane Achievement becoming common. It will still be very rare. Just do the math:
Only 2 out of the 4 Arcane items are pets. So if you assume that every player that loots an Arcane egg sells that egg to another player, then that means the number of players who have the Arcane Achievement will increase by 50%. But as we all know, that is not a correct assumption. Some players who loot the egg will hatch it. So let's now suppose that half of the players who loot an Arcane egg hatch the egg, and the other half sell the egg (this sounds like a more reasonable assumption)..... if this happens then the number of players with the Arcane Achievement will increase by 25%.
Before there was the effort for earning money and farming crates and the skill of having luck.
Now there isn't luck skill, only need time for saving gold and having a good deal trading.
Think about great percent on the game is based on luck. It gives some special.
I'm agree with puntus I'd improve loot system on crates or decrease plat for open it. Sometimes is annoying open them...
Now u can trade ur high lb position, it isn't a great effort and it makes new players can reach good positions on lb.
Now your "effort" means gamers deserve of being best players.
Gamers who complains about platt*system didn't notice that they can play new levels thanks to it.
Then platt system is necessary to maintain the game and I think that there would be special achievements to whom helps to maintain and develope AL.
Always in a just balance for platt and non platt gammers!!!!
This decision could have waited for the next season.
what about arcane banners? only achievement?
which lacked ... I hope not. It's like buying a banner. It's ridiculous!Originally Posted by verydangerous
Have you tried getting 10m+ gold without plat? Looting decent items, and merching isn't easy, it IS an achievement.
So if I buy slag and get the mythic achievement and banner, that's not buying a banner?
Yeah, arcane banner should be granted as well as achievement.
I personally think banners and achievements should be given to those who actually hatch the eggs, not those who loot and sell eggs.
well looting an arcane egg is not easy as what others think.
Ei!!! Don't forget that the game is developed thanks to people whom buy plats... If doesn't exist difference between plat and non plat gamers, the game will not exist in a few months!!!
This change and our complains gives the possibility to STS for doing new plat achievements, and this would be worse.
My peticion is "Please undo this change... and give the achievement to whom loot the arcane pet or weapon."
I agree with Haligali on this one.
I tried to say that before and got ran through the coffee grinder. Dude kept talking about earning it.
I agree with ya man.
As I said in the other thread requesting this achievement change, complaints will come after the change. And here we are...
Personally, I don't mind the change but if I'd spent 1000's of plat just to get that achievement, I'd be ticked off too.
And for all doubters of my rockstar status:
When can i get my own mythic item?just wondering ):
Arcane
When can i get my own mythic item
Having that effort and skill and additional endurance on playing arcane was my perception but doing that still cant get good result and sometimes makes me feel bad but still need to this characteristic again to achieve my goal to have my own mythic item by my own effort and skill) tnx arcane legend for making me a fighter even in reality
If there would be some weekly luck elixir it would be great..
It's absolutely easy. You just press a button and spend 15 plat, and there it is. No great skill or excellence in playing the game is needed. You don't have to practice it to get good at it beforehand. Any player can do it, even one that just started playing the game an hour ago. It's just a totally random happening, which has nothing to do with the word "achievement".
And BTW, a quick look at the leaderboard would tell you that this change only resulted in about 7 or 8 players (out of many tens of thousands who play this game) getting the Arcane Achievement. As I posted above, there will only be a slight increase in those having this achievement. Someone still has to loot the egg. You can't buy one if there are none for sale. If you are worried about this achievement becoming common, don't worry, it's still a very rare and exclusive group.
