@Khitarra your correct about that the teleports dont work , The reason why it costs 200 points is because it boosts thieving xp by 15% i think it was.

Besides that seeing that alot of people already grinded out the achievments and bought the items it doesnt feel right to change the way achievments work.

No support from me.

The people who have already got the points would meet the requirements for the tiers, so no one would lose out on anything. When future Achievements/items/teirs are added, they will be set to hit the ground running to reach them. 

15% thieving xp (which is hardly nothing, 80 more xp per thieve for classic) is 200 points but being able to hit 22s at 35 magic only costs 30 points.. if the teleports worked on the cape it would be worth 200 points. Im pretty sure the teleport fix has been suggested before, but I CBA to go through that massive list of suggestions to check. 

No sir, it being "not broken" is not a subjective matter because factually there's nothing broken about it. Not getting the feeling of achievement from obtaining the ardy cloak 4 is a subjective matter, because I did receive that feeling simply for the newly acquired thieving xp bonus and fashionscape.

 

You get my point?

 

I think you're better off suggesting the ardy cloak teleports to work, rather than this suggestion.

 

 

I do get your point, but a lot of the suggestions that have been added to the game were subjective. The suggestion forum is not to suggest fixes, thats what bug reports are for. Things that are broken or not working as intended. Suggestions are for improvements or additions that would benefit the server in the long run. 

Ehh.. this feels really unnecessary. Don't fix what's not broken. I like the current system and see no reason to change it for the sole purpose of having a better feeling of "achievement", which is, a subjective matter anyway.

It took me almost 4 hours just to get the Ardy cape, only to realize that the teleports dont work. I felt no sense of accomplishment or like I had achieved anything, my initial feeling was "wasted those fuckin points" which lead me to this thread in the first place. If it had been a milestone, the points wouldnt matter as i'd have access to every item that falls under the tier ive reached. 

It being "not broken" is also subjective.. Some people might like grinding points to buy things, but when I think of "achievements" in a game, I think of it like dots on a time line. Each achievement is a step to completing a larger goal, and each achievement comes with a small reward, with a large reward for completion of a set. This is no different than reaching a tier milestone. Sure, the grind to a milestone would be harder than just farming 50 points for 1 thing you want, but in the end it would feel much better to know that you worked hard and now have access to multiple helpful things. 

There's a sense of accomplishment for completing a set of achievements. On Alora, in my opinion, there are medium tasks that should be easy, and easy tasks that should be medium. They're not tied to a specific area or any other theme, so its just like looking at a list of menial tasks that I can complete to get points. 

Perhaps im too used to the abundance of rewards given on RS3 for achievement diaries.. idk. I just feel like the achievement system leaves much to be desired and even if its not MY suggestion that revitalizes it, I know it could be better.
