The Achievement Suggestion & Discussion Thread
ED is now on Steam and it’s coming to Xbox One. Both of which support some form of achievement system. Achievements or Trophies or Secondary Missions or Awards or Medals or Accomplishments or Bucket List or whatever you would like to call them, can offer additional challenges or goals to those seeking more out of their game. They can encourage players to try different things, both for new players and veterans alike and can provide a sense of satisfaction on completing them.
There has been no official confirmation if ED will include achievements at this stage, except this post from Michael which doesn’t necessarily rule it out either:
Confirmed List of XBox Achievements: http://www.xboxachievements.com/game/elite-dangerous/achievements/
Two elements for discussion in this post:
1) POLL : What is your preference regarding Achievements being introduced into ED? Is it something that you feel would enhance your experience, do you have no feeling on either way or is it something you feel would be a negative to your experience?
Some Considerations Raised:
- Platform Independent (work on Standalone PC/Mac, Steam, XBox versions etc).
- Option to Disable if Player doesn't want them.
- Minimal Impact (Only text via chat/info panel).
- More Content is Good.
- Should not Encourage Anti-Social behavior.
- Lore based only &/or In-game mechanics only (such as ranks, milestones)
...
2) COMMUNITY ACHIEVEMENT SUGGESTIONS : On the event that achievements do proceed at some stage, I thought it would be fun to brainstorm with the community on some possible achievements that you would like to see in the game.
I personally like the more creative achievements over the more grindy achievements, but in a game like ED I think there is room for both. I also think ED could offer some hard achievements for long term players along with the more accessible ones for the casual player.
Share your suggestions!
Please include a title/name for your achievement (be creative!) and a clear statement of what would be required to get it.
If you have a better name/title for an existing achievement let us know, likewise if you think any of them could be refined/improved.
I will add any good ones raised in the thread I will add to the master list:
