Guild Wars 2

I really like GW2 but I think there needs to be a change to the achievement system.

Why cant we see other players achievements?! I love collecting achievements and will go out of my way to get all the weird and whackey ones, but if other people can only see the overall points I might as well have been grinding dailies and killing hundreds of creatures. If others can’t see what achievements you have it takes a lot of the fun out of getting them. It doesn’t let you show off your accomplishments to your friends and that is really disappointing.

I don’t know how hard it would be to change but I think it will be worth it in the long run. Does anyone else agree?

I wouldn’t mind this long as they hid the Dungeon ones, otherwise you’ll get the ‘you can’t join because you haven’t done it before’ thing.

“LF1M AC, Must Have Achieve”

They should make our home instance into a sort of Hall of Monuments as well. Maybe have wall-mountable heads / creatures in test vats for Asura for the Slayer Achievements.

You can equip one achievement title for people to see below your name.

All things considered: don’t want.

It would be good to be able to check other players achievements and possibly link them if only for bragging rights and friendly competition.

The flip side of the coin as TheDaiBish points out is that if dungeon achievements are included would we start seeing people requesting an achievement link for invite?

Personally I dont mind the system as is but if others could view my achievements it would encourage me to go out and seek some of the ones I perhaps otherwise would not have.

I ddn’t think of the whole dungeon problem, I always hated that then I played WoW.

Ok, so how about you can see all achievements except the dungeon completion ones? Maybe they could allow players on your friends list to see them or something?

I don’t see a problem with allowing people to see dungeon achievements that don’t have anything to do with finishing the dungeon itself eg. the one where you salute the titan in that Fractal.

I don’t expect Arena.net to jump right on this (if they ever decide to do it at all) as I’m sure they have more pressing things to work on. I just hope they decide to do this or something similar at some point in the future.

This topic isn’t putting me off playing this amazing game, I just think it will make it even better!
