    I'm all for an achievements list. I'm against an activity sheet.
    Yep, pretty much this. Genshin has achievements that include several different in-game activities and reward you with a small cosmetic (and some gacha currency), but there's no "list" of things to do at any given time. You just play the game and you'll get majority of achievements or meet requirements for the bigger achievement. And once you're done playing in your own way you're free to go look at what the achievement requires and do precisely that.

    And I'd definitely like if Ashes had a similar system/design.

    Yeah man, imagine an achievement 'Become Mayor of all node types' and get an absolutely stunning flying mount skin as a reward. :smiley:

    could you imagine how many people would complain or ruin nodes just for the sake of the achievement and reward lol

    A person who values the conflict in human emotion enough to always begin the chance for it if reasonable. Their definitions of 'reasonable' vary. See 'edgelord' as well.

    You're the forum's most reasonable one, that I know of, as you don't normally make personal attacks, but making personal attacks is a simple and effective method for most such people to get what they want.

    They normally have an emotionally inflammatory style of communication, and are capable of being eloquent, but have a tendency to choose not to do so. Whether or not this is because they believe that clarity is weakness, because they know that brevity in conversation with an annoyed target will achieve their goal, or that they're just naturally reticent when addressing something they aren't personally passionate about, is unclear and seems to vary.

    On forums they tend to choose names that give others a cautious impression of them, or imply that they value hostility and conflict, such as 'Depraved', or 'Max_Fury', but they may not actually be direct supportive of this, it might just be another way to provoke conflict.

    Normally best approached by either not engaging, or by making sure that one hasn't become more invested in whatever clash, than they actually are.

    i dont have anything personal against anyone and my intention isnt to trigger anyone. i attack arguments, not people. but nowdays people get triggered too easily, even with truths and facts. i might not say things the smoothest possible ways, but im tired of protecting everyone elses feelings. we are all grown ups here. ive been insulted and you dont see me crying to mods or insulting back or anything, i dont even acknowledge it. i just attack the argument.

    if the rule is do not say anything that can offend anyone, then we might all as well delete our accounts and never post again. anything that anyone says might be offensive to somebody, even if its 1 in 100000.

    nowadays you could say you like pepsi better than coke and someone will get offended, so we cant really abide by that rule of "do not say anything offensive". i dont provoke people, people provoke themselves.

    Too lazy to read all, sorry if i say things already said !


    "battle pass to keep people interested playing the game"

    In "old good days" we didnt need some kind of shiny things to grab to keep playing.
    People don't need battlepass to have hundreds hours on skyrim, to do a 3rd, 5th, 10th run on Pathfinder WOTR, divinity original sin 2 or Baldur's gate 3. etc. So we can't even say that "people changed and need it now"

    Why they keep using battlepass on EVERY game ?
    first it came on short played game, like battlefield, and call of, you go on lobby, then play the game for around 30 minutes, rince&repeat. In such game, battlepass is a good way to have people do 30 game instead of just 20 or 25. yep. But is it the real thing ? nope... People buys it => money.
    It helps also to have people to COMEBACK each season. and getting money from it. because each season is new cosmetic to farm, so lets get to it again etc... It is not to have people stay on the game but comeback !

    The problem is for MMORPG, there are the "fast food way" where... sure, you will need a seasonnal system to have people to comeback... The "casualisation" made the MMORPG empty games, a FFXIV or WoW patch you do it in 1 or 2 evening for most people... then ? just... same raid farm with a new one;
    But if you don't do a game that aim to be the "top1 population" but just a game that make profit (profit : after what is reinvested for development for sure) you can allow yourself to have less this kind of thing, and many long term and long time play content... SO you DONT need a "season pass" or "battle pass" or "shit pass"

    well, nowadays people call you provocative or inflammatory if you disagree with them, and by people i mean the left xD

    imagine someone says there are 100 genders, then a 2nd person says no there are only 2. Everyone calls the 2nd person inflammatory and provocative, and he also gets insulted (but I guess it's okay to insult if you belong to a certain tribe and as long you aren't getting insulted), just for stating a basic truth or speaking against a lie. That's why I can't take Azherae's comment seriously in this case xD

    this reminds me of Jordan Peterson. he goes around telling people to clean their room and be a good person. then he gets interviewed, proceeds to dismantle a lie or a bad argument, then the next time he gets interviewed he gets called inflammatory and provocative, then he dismantles another lie, then the next time he gets interviewed he gets called inflammatory and provocative once more. and the cycle keeps repeating.

    The reason I keep answering is because I refuse to participate in the lie. but I guess that will get me called inflammatory and provocative :D

    Lets say you have really bad RNG and things never drop for you no matter how well you do. Then achievement list, activity sheet or whatever you want to call it would be a nice thing.

    it'll have achievements with bells and whistles to let players know how special they are :smile: Definitely aids in the dopamine hits and self-esteem.

    So it's either a chore that has to be done otherwise you're falling behind those who do, or it's a meaningless activity with no reward that'll simply be skipped by people and will have no influence on whether they log into the game daily :) [/quote]

    This sounds like the whole setup of the game so far...

    The game is not done though. But even rn, the motivation to outpace others is nebulous because there is no in-game "stat sheet" of "do this, then this, and this, and also this" that everyone has and that you know you're missing out on.

    When you log on - you're free to do whatever, exactly because the game doesn't tell you what you should do. Especially when in the context of that reply the sheet itself is what's pushing you to keep logging on and doing its tasks, rather than just other players' progress in any given avenue or just your own desire to do something on any given day.
