SAO Achievements! (long post)
So I've been trying to think of an achievement system for SAO, and I've talked a little bit about it with other staff. I know several players have said it's something they'd like to see... but I'd love more ideas! What kind of achievements would you like to see? How would you like them handled? Badges in your journal? Titles? Some with non-combat rewards of some kind?-
You and I have talked about this already, but I would encourage you to stick with very cut-and-dry achievements. You do it, or you don't. There is no denying what has or hasn't been done. I know ages ago we were talking about post and story quality, but we don't want to go down the Althanas road. I'm a huge badge girl. Earning badges or titles would be neat.
-
Yea, no I don't want to do post and story quality. I was thinking about achievements like Dungeoneering, where you do a dungeon on every floor in a Tier, or a Quest Master, where you complete X number of quests. Perhaps ones for beating a certain number of bosses, winning a certain number of duels. Other games have ones like "guardian" if you save someone who is almost dead, or maybe "vigilante" if you kill an orange player.
So I'm certainly curious for what kind of tasks could be good achievements, but also if people would like badges for their profiles, or titles, or a mix. If people would want them to show up under their avatar, or in their journal, etc... I have to research the technical limitations too.

Baldur breathed in a long, deep draw of that cold, crisp air flavored with the scent of pine and freshly fallen snow that permeated the floor. It felt so good to be walking along the lake with Lessa. He wasn't worried about anything, even as their conversation moved to players they had lost. Instead, he had only the walk and good conversation to enjoy. How long had it been since he had done that? He enjoyed his sessions with Calrex, but the tutelage and philosophical conversation was a force of will, it was something Baldur meditated on, reflected on, and then taught with an effort. Here, now,

Sorry it's taken me so long to fill in my posts guys. Life has been crazy recently, plus all the N7 stuff that's dropped. I"m trying to go back and hit them as quickly as I can.

My instructions to everyone had been to just post until we got 20 posts in the thread. Unfortunately just about everyone in that thread is no-longer active on the site.
-
Wait, seriously? So what will we do with that thread? Last I checked there were like 13 or 14 posts in it...
-
Who is the host of the thread?

Just a reminder to everyone. 150 words is the minimum for a valid post. Multiple posts like this in a thread will jeopardize not only that posters SP, but the thread's validity.
Encourage your fellow writers to take pride in their posts, and make sure you're giving your writing partners something to work with :)

Those pictures were incredible! Thanks for sharing! :D

Boss Fighters, seem Hirru's post for the Knight's party openings. Make sure you claim an open spot else you end up tanking the boss!
-
Just an update for those curious. There's going to be a small update to skills/items related to healing since we've had our health totals increased so much. We're waiting to start the boss fight to get this update out (since it'll be relevant :P).
There was no big October update as there was in the past couple months, because the Staff team has been working on a MASSIVE update, which includes a complete revamping of the site guide (something that was started back when I was voted to be Player Rep).Thank you for your patience, and we can't wait to show you what we've been working on!

Excuse you Ariel! :P I'm not slacking off, but I have been less active due to working on my coding bootcamp work XD
-
That sounds like an excuse used by someone who's been slacking off:))
(Okay and to make myself clear: Baldur is right! I'm just messing with people)

<.<
I'm not slacking off I swear! :P(I know, I just enjoy poking at things XD)

Breaking news! Sub-Dungeons are dangerous again!
Any dungeons rolled for or entered starting today should use the new stats. Be careful, the new bosses HURT!
-
When I saw the dmg change, I thougth my healing would be needed. Seems I was wrong :)
PS. Working on the post in 1... 2... 3... Now!

With anyone else it would have... And if any of us get hit it definitely will!

If you plan to participate in the floor 18 boss fight, make sure you're currently assigned to a group! Remember, the rules of how the boss fights work have changed, so make sure you're familiar with them.
If you have any questions, let me know!
-
Im thinking I'll wait for the next fight. Just to be safe.
-
That's a good call, Hakai. This is our first boss battle with a bunch of new balance and systems in place, so it may be tougher than anyone is prepared for :P
-
Boss planning thread is now closed, however nothing to say you can't do an OP trying to decide your teams :)

FYI - Do not write Out Of Character in IC posts. If you need to convey information, you can send a PM. Obviously this doesn't include stats and such for battle, but your post is not the place to talk OOC with other players
-
Understood :)
-
Affirmative!

Challenge: What are some skills or mod ideas that would help you perform your roll, that aren't just giving you +DMG, +MIT, or +Healing.
I want to find investments players can make to further plant them into the role of DPS, Tank, Support, Scout, but without upsetting the balance of DMG, HP, MIT.
Aaaaand, go!-
Beyond that, I like the idea of hate management. Holy crap, that is so vital for MMO type games.

Also I totally think a Mod for increased Critical Range would be sick, where the players who put points into it can crit on an 8 making their threat range much greater.
A Mod for making a 1 not mean absolute failure (where if you pump the SP in to afford it, you are able to hit on a roll of 1 provided your ACC is high enough).
Another cool Mod concept would be for First Aid, since that's fundamentally limited at this juncture to a single target or that TPH (total party heal) mod. Adding a passive buff/augment to your First Aid skill would make Support players way more invaluable.
-
We could also a skill that lets players shift the Hate from their attacks onto a designated player- I.E. the tank.

Sorry to those I owe posts to. I'm trying to wrap things up here at work because I'm moving into my new house today! Yay! Comcast should be coming by this afternoon to install my internet, and moving will continue into tomorrow. My posting will be sporadic between now and Monday, but I will knock out what I can.
-
Not sure if everyone noticed, but tanks and support players are now more important than they have been in the past since the boss fight mechanics have changed. So if you're playing a tank or a support class, hurry up and get to the frontlines! :)
-
Oh right. Wonder if she was a main or an alt and if the player is still on the site. Thou we will never know...

Quick, someone carry me through some quests! :3
