I should have been more specific with "every achievement without having to do Strike missions" since if you don't want to do strike missions then you have to do everything on the map. I don't consider Strike missions (raid like content) to be the same kind of content at PvE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrusse.7058 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Do people not want new emotes or something? Or is it that they don't want new emotes as rewards for clearing a map/episode? Would a new armor piece be preferred? Title or something new entirely? Honestly I like the idea of new emotes being given this way, though I would like a reward track for those that PvP or WvW exclusively. The emote is thematic and fits the last two episodes as a whole. Perhaps the emote, plus an armor piece or a unique weapon to go with it would make the reward more compelling for other players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excursion.9752 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Aint nobody got time for that. Time not equal to the reward. Reward track or some other reasonable method needs to be worked out. Lets be honest here its not that great to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emotes should be a staple of functions offered to players from the very beginning. They are basically hiding a way for players to express themselves behind some horrible, **horrible** grind. Simply giving a title like _Master Grinder of the Eastern Bjora Marches_ would have been better. Also, if you look closely, it says you get other stuff if you already obtained it, yet there is no other way to obtain it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's something Arenanet could work on. Is there anything else that is equivalent to a title or better that would suffice as a reward for doing nearly everything a map has to offer? I will note that I didn't mention in my previous post that in Episode 1, while the final reward is a backpiece, the total rewards possible for the start of Bjora Marches is not bad and they all come from multiple achievements or tiers of the same achievement. Which I think is a great way to proceed instead of rewards being a binary thing. Like "Did you do the thing yet? Yes/No?" Yes = reward No = no reward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't consider Strike missions (raid like content) to be the same kind of content at PvE. I also want to point out that at launch you had to get every achievement. They changed it in one of the patches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's around 20 or 40 achievements, done once for just an emote. Why should it even be hard to obtain? It's nothing more than a regular emote.

coso.9173 Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 In Eso we get mementos, which are sole kind of animation or emote for stuff like beating a dungeon. Or relatively fast achievements, like recovering 15 lost treasures. In here we need to do like 30 achievements and do many of them 29 times. It's laughable.

Weindrasi.3805 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 The final reward SHOULD HAVE BEEN the Raven shirt. Let the pants be tied to Story completion rewards, and the gloves/shoes/helm be bought at the Kodan merchant after completing certain achievements. There is quite simply no sense in advertising the Raven Armor and then making the shirt--the centerpiece of the armor--so rare and unobtainable that most players will never get it. There is even less sense in making an emote the grind reward. Many players never emote and never will. Of those who do, most don't care about emoting beyond the occasional dance emote or other humor emote while waiting around. The small percentage of the playerbase who incorporate emotes into their game-play tend to be role-players. It is cruel to the role-players to lock the shiver emote behind grind, cruel to the grinders to give such a lackluster "reward" for their efforts, and cruel to the armor-collectors to make the Raven shirt so impossibly hard to attain. The shiver emote is worth a few hours of grinding. The Raven shirt is worth a few days of grinding. If you want to create a super-rare luck based reward, it should be a new legendary weapon. Not the Raven shirt. (And sure as HELL not a helm that is exclusive to charr--who suffer from clipping and stretching EVEN IN THEIR OWN CULTURAL ARMOR) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely because there were optional ways to get the emote in Grothmar. This emote should have the options of doing WvW or PvP for it as well. The description even _implies_ the existence of others ways to get it, but there are none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra.6509 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 First I have the emote and love it. Second you cant have this emote without striking some achievements in strikes missions which I find questionable. I understand Anet is trying to bring more players towards instanced content but related achievements, loot and some skins should be enough as incentive. Also I am 99% sure that next Tuesday Anet will lower requirements so everyone will get the emote without having to complete strikes missions.

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Well, I hope most will be satisfied if this emote can be earned from a WvW or PvP Reward Track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, just maybe anet should stop trying to force people into instanced content they really do not want to do? I do pve to relax. For excitement, I do wvw. I do not need 'raids', 'fractals' or 'strike missions'. Those are not relaxing. They are annoying on a good day and rage enducing frustrating messes on every other. So let those who like them do them. I am fine with that. I am NOT fine with anet trying to force me to do them to complete the story achievement. Strike missions are not story. They should NOT been put there. Put them under fractals or dungeons and be done with it. I think 'questionable' is a very polite term to use here.

I don't consider Strike missions (raid like content) to be the same kind of content at PvE. You still have to do a minimum of im counting 8 strike mission achievements to get the meta. Finishing all the map achievements left me with 29 achievements of the 37 required, im sitting at 31 of 37 having gotten two of the easy ones from the whispers strike though ive never been able to kill it. And with boneskinner being bugged out like it is i cant even get those achievements. Frustrating as hell that they went this route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um, yes, players are doing Strike Missions that don't do Raids or Fractals. At least one is; I've never set foot in a Raid, and I think I'm L2 in Fractals (I did two or three L1 Fractals a long, long time ago). I did the Whispers Strike Mission with a pug; didn't seem _that_ difficult. It took us 4 tries; I think one player left after the second attempt. I'd guess the other players weren't Raid or High Fractal players either, because most of them went down quite a bit. But, maybe I was just lucky.

My count above included all the hidden achievements that count. One still needs 8 strike achievements. Edit: if every single achievement added in the release counted towards the meta(not including the Drakkar, or Skyscale ones, but the ones only in the story section) im seeing youd need about half the required strike achievements.
