Is anyone else disappointed by the current selection of achievements? The PWI achievements seem pretty boring, even when compared to the other PWE games. Here I can list everything you can achieve.


Character
-Level every class to 90.

Crafting
-Nothing.

Economic
-Have 500,000 coins
-Buy 500 things from the Cash Shop
-Buy 100 random pigments form Cash Shop
-Buy 25 Gold in AH
-Sell 25 Gold in AH

General
-Stay logged in for 24 Hours
-Log in once a day for 30 consecutive days

PVP
-Kill 50 people

Quests
-Do 1000 quests

Social
-World chat 50 times
-Speak in Guild Chat 5 times

And thats it! You do those and you get every achievement in the game. Most of these are uninspired and too easy.

Here is where I would have put achievement caps:
-10,000 PVP kills instead of 50
-200M coin economic achievement
-5,000 gold AH achievements
-5,000 world chats
-Final leveling achievement at 100


Other than that there needs to be more interesting achievements. Here are a few ideas:

Cube Master: Complete Cube of Fate 100 times
True Love: Embrace another player for 12 hours.
The Legendary Hero: Defeat Harpy Wraith
Power Walk: Complete a World Quest without flying or teleporting
Oopsie Daisy: Sell a Gold TT mat to an NPC
Fear Me: Refine a weapon to +12
Never Give Up: Die in an instance 20 times or more
Ooo Pretty: Make a gold genie of each of the 4 types
Noone Likes Me: Be on the blacklist of 10 other players or more

It took just a few minutes to think of those and they seem much interesting than the current selection.

Are there any plans to add better achievements?

    The biggest problem with your suggestions would be that the game probably doesn't log things like completing cube and such. Would be cool if it did though; most people don't do cube at all and other suggestions are nice too.

    Meh, in my opinion a thread discussing the lack of creativity in achievements is distinct from a thread announcing the release of an updated profile system which includes other things.

    I do think forum achievements would be a good idea tho.

    I bet they keep track of which quests you do and what things you kill. They actually keep a more detailed log than you'd think so customer support people can investigate tickets. Of the ones I listed the ones that is most doubtful is walking a world quest. In any case the current achievements seem more bound by lack of creativity than technical limitations.

    I do agree that many of the current achievements are boring, although I think the level ones are apt enough. I mean, let's be honest, even level 100 isn't really an achievement any more, so it doesn't matter whether their final level achievement was at 90 or 100 either way. Both are easy to get.

    I also have to agree that the achievements you suggested would certainly be fun things to work for, but some would be very limited if not completely impossible. For example, Harpy is almost an exclusive world boss; only a number of guilds can work together enough to kill Harpy and of those they are also fighting against each other to kill it first. This is an example of an achievement that would simply be too impossible for the majority of the community, even several heavy cash shoppers.

    The other achievements you suggested were better, I just don't think the game logs things like cube runs. It would be pretty awesome if it did.

    I also thing forum achievements should be in order, but at the same time what you have for one forum you must have for the other forums of their games, and it could well be they don't implement forum achievements for PWI or simply in general because they can't be bothered to check all their game forums.

    But we can all sit and dream, right? Right?

    I'd offer some suggestions for achievements but I'm out of any decent ones. b:sad

    I was browsing through the PWI files for fun once ( I look, not edit, and only at text files), and found a text file that contained every single quest my veno had ever done and the date and time each one was finished. They record it all.

    Celestial Sage Venomancer Zoe - 100

    Killing Harpy wraith should be a quest achievment, except you can't complete the quest cause it doesn't allow you to turn in.

    if you ask me, acheivements should be less SRS BIZNESS and more fun. heres a sample maybe:

    BBQQ: As a Wizard, kill a player with Fire damage(Pyrogram, Blade Tempest) and cause them to log off.
    One corn to rule them all and in the darkness cream them
