Ashantara.8731 Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 (edited) Please, for the sake of your players, refrain from using this particular achievement design ever again in future content. No one enjoys rejoicing over finishing an achievement, consisting of several (more or less enjoyable) steps, only to then realize they will have to do it all over again (if they are completionists like me). Either assign more achievement points to the original achievement or come up with different achievements. Repeating the very same thing for additional achievement points is very unfun, and just lazy design. Thank you.

No. There are tons of others, like "Eternal Aetherblade Shenanigans" and "Eternal Purist Shenanigans" in Seitung, to name only two.

Sobx.1758 Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 (edited) Isn't that like... 3 ap? At that point, just don't do it. Not a great idea for achievements, sure -but they are extremely easy to ignore considering what they give.

Example: "Aetherblade Shenanigans" gives 3 AP total. "Eternal Aetherblade Shenanigans" gives 1 AP and can be repeated for a total of 2 AP. Ridiculous. I'd rather have only one achievement, "Aetherblade Shenanigans", for a total of 5 AP, than repeating the very same thing three times. There are many such repetitive achievements in EoD, merely designed to keep you busy rather than being fun. 7 minutes ago, Sobx.1758 said: Isn't that like... 3 ap? At that point, just don't do it. Yes, well, that's not the point here. The point of this thread is to make the devs aware that this is lazy design that no one enjoys, in the hopes to not see such nonsense again in future releases.

Please only speak for yourself. I actually think that it isn’t that bad, you do the events anyway more than once. If you don’t like them, just don’t do them. It’s very simple. 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I actually don’t mind and don’t think that it is such a huge design fail that I have to open a thread on the forum and complain. I don’t really care about AP. There are a lot of things in the game that are just repeating something over and over again. But I have to ask again, how do you know that no one enjoys it? Did you make a survey or send out a questionnaire? Edited July 9, 2022 by yoni.7015 2 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What for?? You repeat Strikes, Raids, Fractals, Metas, Dailies, etc., etc., etc. Why? What for? For some achievements? For some APs? For some cheap loots? What you find tedious, others may enjoy. Some prefer easy game-plays, others prefer more complexities. Some prefer long quests, others do not. If everyone are the same, we'll all be watching the same movie, listening to the same songs, eating the same food, wearing the same clothing styles, etc. and everyone in the world will be playing GW2. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lottie.5370 Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 You don't even need to complete it 3 times, so way to say you've never done it. You get AP at the tiers, so you need to complete the whole achi once for 3 AP, and then 5 of the events again for an extra 2 AP (one at 2 and 5 events respectively). 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mythical.6315 Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Those achievements progress by the steps completed. You don’t have to do them all multiple times. I think only one of them required me to work on the set of tasks for a third time but I didn’t need to complete the entire achievement again. I did those achievements and they really were not that bad at all. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Labjax.2465 Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Not familiar with these, is it kinda like the open world trinkets where you could end up doing a certain jumping puzzle which shall remain nameless 3 different times. Or more if you have trouble finding the tokens. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say it's more akin to the achievements that make you do the Dragonfall/Bjora/Drizzlewood meta X amount of times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
