Posted June 18, 2018 (edited) Even if it's apparent personal goal won't see large changes, a few tweaks could make our life easier! Catch a 190kg fish - lower 190kg fish (95QL) to 180kg fish (90QL) - achievement remains hard enough to require a few thousands actions due to the RNG but become more doable. Kill 100 wild unicorns - Either allow bred unicorns or manually add enough unicorns spawners on the servers for them. Make 5K wine - allow any alcohols to complete that goal, be it beer, whiskey, blue / white / rice wine and others. 100K actions- maybe also lowering the timer to 2 seconds on the 100K actions instead of the current 3 seconds to take in account mining actions and a few fast others. Lockpick 5 door locks - Allow to lock pick your own house (or with manage perms) on freedom. Sea serpents - Fix the spawns... or like the unicorns, manually add a few from time to time. Feedback on all achievements requiring multiples actions - Actual counters (or visible achievements) on those who requires a bunch of actions.

Posted June 18, 2018 I would add the exquisit gemstone to the list, thats allso just so random. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 18, 2018 I can agree on the above, especially the unicorns and serpent. I have been playing wurm since November 2015, and i have only ever seen a wild unicorn (1) once! And that unicorn was a narwhal, so its a specially spawned one for the Christmas event. How do you imagine us finding and killing 100 of them? It is an impossible goal with the spawn rates of unicorns. Same thing for the serpent. In my playtime i have seen/heard of precisely 0 serpent spawns. As for wine, with the fail rate, around 10k grapes are needed. With no time frame given on when the system will be scrapped entirely, it seems kind of crazy to go and plant around 5k trellises/grape bushes just to see the system poof before completing this. I would like to see the unis replaced for something more doable, lava fiends even (hard to find but not entirely impossible) And serpent exchanged for some other unique that actually has a chance of spawning. As for wine, i agree to what Odynn proposed, maybe make it all fermented alcohols and count them together or something, or exchange the goal to something else. I have no wish to spam alts like crazy and hope one gets a doable goal. It is really depressing that no matter how i try, i am not going to be able to complete the goals because, in my case, the 100 unicorns do not exist. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can mitigate the difficulty of these two by coming to epic, Unicorns are more easily found, and my team can assist you with the lockpicking requirement. All the goals above are easily met with a bit of effort! Edited June 18, 2018 by FranktheTank Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

While i appreciate the offer, my own personal issue is the shark. mostly because its all based on RNG, which means you can get it in 1 try or 1bilion. Others goals can be done with a bit of effort... not knowing the amount of effort already done and what is left to do is the trouble, hence the counters or making visible the invisible achievements keeping track of them. The amount of effort will be hard to meet if we lack means to do it before the whole system is scrapped down, seasons are limited, the space is limited and the amount of people with the same goals is greater than logical (RNG - TM). And while epic is quite the life saviour for a good amount of goals, some people refuse to set foot there... achievements have been made possible without the PvP requirement except one.

Posted June 18, 2018 There are so many that could use tweaks. Guess that's why they are overhauling it. All I have left is exquisite gemstone, and imp an item past 99QL. So you know how I feel. On a couple alts, have "defeat a player using a bow". Will not trigger reward, even if you kill opponent in sparing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will not trigger reward, even if you kill opponent in sparing. get naked and slap the opponent to death with the bow and extra kicks... no arrows involved in that one. 25 minutes ago, gorgian said: exquisite gemstone this one is a devil of its own, code says it has to be a 99QL gem (okay, ty mining to 99 + 99QL veins - which doesn't exists), if it's changed to a star gem... it's doable but kinda requires a lot of luck... almost the same amount as the shark one. I'd personally like to see all those achievements with crazy RNG involved be removed... but this is apparently not going to happen... the least we can hope for is to see the difficulty being tweaked down to meet the achievements rarity.

Posted June 18, 2018 Not sure if gather rune works on fishing rods and if could help for the190kg goal, but it should, why not Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 18, 2018 Honestly? These goals are meant to be hard (not impossible, just hard, not "rework your entire character" hard either) Unicorn spawn rates need fixing anyway, +1 to that. Lockpicking? +1, lets not feed PvP Feedback (as per Kadmin't suggestion)? +1 -1 for the rest 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 18, 2018 yeah, Ive been fishing for a while now and Ive got enough fish to grind taming to 90 three times, I still dont have a fish big enough - a gold achievement so not one of the hardest ones, apparantly on par with catching 1000 random small fish. Also just found out that exquisite is a 99 ql gem and thats only a gold achievement - the same difficulty as a 90 ql gem. These goals - IMO - are supposed to be difficult and require a lot of effort. To me, random luck =/= effort. have me mine 100 gems, or a gem of each type, instead of a single 99 ql which is ever so random and tbh, nearly impossible. The 1k fish one is a good one - maybe change the 190 kg fish to "catch one fish of each type" or slightly lower weight (or, in general, make fishing more consistent with skill) For the wine, I would say rice wine and honeywine should definitely work. Ingredients for that are fairly difficult to obtain but not quite as impossible as picking over 9000!! grapes. Can definitely support some changes to that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 18, 2018 (edited) Lol i thought that exquisite gem is star gem (one more unclear thing about goals that needs to be fixed), not sure what's worst, in limited timeframe no way i am grinding 99 mining on priest just for that, that should be diamond goal Instead i will be forced to use my grape suplies on another alt(or sell it for a good cash :D) who had 10k items in trash and kill 2 uniques as gold which he already did, having wine be the last on him which is sad as i would rather have winner title on my priest that i play more rather than on some delivery boy with no skills buffed just to drive boats and wagons and unload stuff +1 to all suggested changes, even if 5 lockpickings is easy thing to do on epic/chaos no reason for qol change like it was done with sparrs triggering defeat player. Unsure only about wine, although at least rice wine should be included as well, beer seems a bit too much, As for wine its not so difficult per se and per one character, one really trying hard can do 6k grapes per season, i did 4k this season with hardcore picking my time allows me, the biggest difficulty is unknown time frame in which is achivable untill new system comes in, it might be next update it can be next year...

Posted June 18, 2018 1 hour ago, kochinac said: As for wine its not so difficult per se and per one character only reason i mentionned wine is the fact that around 50% of the accounts have it in their personal goals... which makes it crazy seeing you need around 10K grapes to do it. It is doable for sure... but turning whole servers into grape fields and hoping the system change won't happen before you have your goal done is the real difficulty. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 19, 2018 I'd recommend that the "mine exquisite gem" goal be changed to "mine a 90+ QL gem". Both are gold, so no re-rolling would need to be done. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
