Would it be possible to add the date at which an achievement was achieved?

Going through my achievements...I wish I knew the date I accomplished some of these because I do not remember doing them. It would be cool if achievements were time stamped for our own personal enjoyment.

I would like it too, but I wonder if the system is able to retroactively do that for old achievements. Seems like the sort of thing that could only have worked if added from the start. Would be fun to see when things were done though

I wonder how much this would impact resources insofar as database space is concerned.  That would be a lot of additional information to retain.  /shrug

I think the game does not store the dates when achievements were completed. The API does not have this information either. So, there is no way to look into the past.

To track the dates when I finished my achievements I use the website https://www.gw2gh.com/ since a few years. It can obviously not show the completion dates from the time before I used the website but it tracks from the moment an API-key is entered several times a day for new achievement completions and stores/shows their dates.

We obviously you can't go back to timestamp things that already happened but that wouldn't prevent adding such a system

That is a trivial amount of data

Is it, though?  To add dates to every achievement claimed on every account?  I wonder.

Interesting idea. I like it but already struggle with lag. As long as it doesn't tax the system, I'm on board.
