[Feedback] Achievements

[Arrakkamani]

The rewards don't seem worth it. Rather give bigger rewards for completing categories or a unique decoration. For completing all economy achievements perhaps a watermill or silo or improved silo? For completing all social achievements perhaps a decoration that can only be gotten through achievement system. A statue of 2 golden settlers shaking hands for example? It just needs a few unique things that can only be found through the achievement system. 200 gems here 200 coins there. Not really. I'll still probably try and get them all even with the bad rewards though :P

uuh, is this bb idea to get players out of the game? Because its working for me, not playing as active as I were, still trying to log once a da... week....

and what is point with achiewments. Isn't it same as first quest, is repeating same thing over over and over again. Is easier to reset the game, but won't do that....

I know some of the answers for what you ask (and none of what most lev50 need -even hope- that game keeps up the interest alive)

No, actually it is the attempt to entice end-gamers to keep on playing
it has been announced by Paula(?) in a video in the past year;
{ there is a channel on youtube, used to have echoes in the news here}

the point of the achievements is to be a resource sink, they couldn't figure anything else easy to implement; it lacks the end result, prize or whatever at this time and is a skeleton; some of the things are not worth doing ever - you need to put books on 4 specialists in skills you don't need... others are questionable in the absence of the prize - play adventures within time frame or with extra constraints... SE under 3 or 4k R or troops, DB with melee only etc; it did come with gems, 1-2k of them -that is the sugar coating (at this time)

I put up a post about the books part, as I did prior to any change I saw on test and found it to have unpleasant repercussions, even got replies this time - most discouraging set thus far as it made me doubt fellow players at about the same experience level grasp what I said... community is somnolent at best.

There is this other thing... resources to develop the game are very scarce, so there is basically what we get, best available and not much to go on... nice knowing you, appreciate your effort.

I hope this new content can be added to with time, so when new adventures are added to the game they can be added as challenges to be achieved. We do need new content for this game to stay current and there are a lot of high level players who have already completed everything so far.

How about updated quests and guild quests? New quest chains (like crisis quests), content aimed at high level players for a change?
How about little improvements like barracks update that so many have been asking for?

sorry Ravel,

I implied the thread was missing in another post. My mistake.

how do you collect the rewards you earn?

[Thejollyone]

I have to be honest - Ive enjoyed doing this as a diversion. However Ive done all the adv quests. Now Im waiting on maybe 2 more from other catagories and there is one I will never complete unless I have a multitude of books etc that want me to do something I had about 6 months ago and sorted a refund (the geologists for use on explorers).

As an above-mentioned diversion it was good. Now Im going to get bored again.

Please just give us more Crisis Quests as was promised in a many a time ago Dev diary?

I've also enjoyed doing this, but really.. Most of it is just meaningless.. As you can easily get most adv achievements done by LS, what is really achieved?

I'm sorry, but this was never wanted and just a waste of dev resources (incl. time).
