Somebody on the forums highlighted that achievements now have more detail to help you identify which part of the achievement you’re missing. That’s a good thing, but I don’t think it’s taken far enough.

The SW Lost badges/coins achievements now have a list of all the lost badges/coins you’ve found so you know you’re missing #17 and #34. But then what? There’s no clue as to where those items are. Do I look up some website (Dulfy?) and hope that their #17 is the same as the game’s?

It would be good, and fun, if the achievements UI showed little clues for these badges; e.g. “You’ll need eyes like a hawk to spot this one.” which might suggest that it’s near some griffons. Okay, I’m no great clue creator, but you get the point. Or maybe clicking on the missing badge could show you the general area on the map. You’d still have to search every nook and cranny but at least you’ll have a chance of finding it.

The newer achievements do list exactly what area of the map they’re in and a hint, just like the karka hunt we had. They probably rushed through the old achievements, #13 even has a text bug. But yes, eventually people will update the old guides to list the actual numbers, so you will be able to match up with a site like Dulfy’s.

Thanks, Healix. I’m looking forward to getting those last few items in various achievements that have eluded me for so long.
