    Wow, just wow. So the achievement system is expanded, so let's see. Um one of them we need to have equipped ALL unique gear from Atlantis...sure okay. Because we know that unique gear just drops all the time, should be doable in an hours time. Then another we need to have ALL 3 pieces of Keens/Roshans/Yachaks, well many of us have the set but with the current drop rate of those items, many will never get the set. Oh well.
    Clear OoB in 3 minutes, killing EVERYTHING. Yeah sure, that's doable. 5 players with red ess and high base damage each then maybe. Oh and clear HoD in 10 minutes, I love that one. It's actually doable quite easily with the right group but a 3 minute ocean is iffy.
    So with 145 we are officially changing the words "farming" and "grinding" into achieving?
    I have to say this patch is just busy work to me. But then I don't need to have some insignia of achievement to feel fulfilled so I won't even think twice about doing many of them. Oh and assuming the long neglected things like new knowledge and others will not make it into game in 2015?

    Yeahhhh R145 the achievement patch!!!

    Achievements without rewards isn't for me...the only ones that i will unlock are "urban city's" + "gem crafting"...the rest i leave it for the dev team to do, since they're so proud of implementing useless improvements.

    Doing OoB under 3 mins is easy, but doing it over 1 hour...now that's an achievement!!!
    The dev team is more concerned in "cosmetic improvements" rather than "game improvements", they should work at "Max Factor", at least they would have a bright future over there.

    Can't wait for there "BIG Announcement" at Twitch...probably they will talk about lvl cap 50 in under 3 mins and announce stuff that they already did or more "cosmetic improvements"....perhaps some new lipstick for the female toon to use while killing Mortis under 10 sec!!!

    I get the point and agree, but you should not forget DSO has always been about "achieving". Is not for fun some spent thousands of euros into this game "trying" to get better not only for farming, but also against others.

    About the knowlegde tree & PvP tree. Well is requires a lot of work, not to forget balancing as well. With the current work the devs do and their focus on unimportant stuff I agree. It will most likely not be in 2015. :D

    Seriously... They haven't even fixed all skills yet so they are flawless, how can you expect a lot of them? :D

    Great forum community which most times report the bugs etc fast, but sadly talking to deaf ears.. What to say??..

    Devs, I have only one thing to say to you: FIX THE GAME FIRST instead of over-stressing the servers (which by the way is causing heavy lag during peak traffic) with useless and, quite frankly, mostly ridiculous updates! And upgrade those servers.

    No doubt this post will get deleted

    No wonder I'm inactive in game. FIX THAT DAMN CRIT HIT VALUE! Under 200 crit value at level 45 99% of them time? Are you freaking kidding me? Use your damn brains dev. Buff it back to 300 to balance with older players. What is this stupid achievement for anyways? I melted my deep sea and yachacks. How the heck is this even an achievement? Waste time to farm and HOPE we have enough LUCK? These kind of "equip lucky gear" achievement is plain stupid. How about doing something MORE MEANINGFUL?

    Yay, more grinding with no reward.

    Ah, but they are planning on allowing us to choose an additional nickname, talk about exciting... That certainly makes up for lousy drops and pointless grinding..

    Achievements are a great thing if they give a Title to the characters and a unique incredible set. But they must be challenges that demonstrate the true strength of the character, not the group. I definitely want the achievement kill Khalys, Mortis, Destructor alone. Find an entire set, or create gems don t proves nothing. These achievements are useless, due to luck or to the bank account. They do not measure the skill of a character.

    I think this is a good way to keep balance in game and very well strategy of Bigpoint and I like it. If you need critical hit, use the old gnob set or witch hunter set and there are also many possibilities to improve it (left side items and nowadays shields, too :D )
    You can also BUY crit stones.
    This is ridiculous that players want 1600 damage and over 60% critical hit rate...

    The problem with crit is those low level legendaries with 24~30 damage and 300~360 crit per bonus line. If you have two or 3 of these, you can get up to 360 damage or 4320 crit or some combination thereof (such as 180 damage and 2160 crit) from 3 equipment spots. As a number of the old players actually do have these pieces (typically some kind of mix of the belt, necklace, arrow/claw/ammo, and 2 rings), newer players have no way of catching them them on crit and damage.

    Novadude explained it perfectly. New players have 0% chance of making up for it.

    I think it is extremely funny that when achievements first hit people were like who cares unless they give me something really good for it I'll pass. I am sure the people that are upset they can not achieve a given achievement are the same ones that said they'd pass. I like anything done in a game to a point. When they lower the power of something then I am :( (frowny faced) about it and then I hope that it was what was killing me in pvp and then will be ;)

    Ok I understand that. New players have to wait several months, these low level gears will not have significant advantage at lvl50 anymore as it is impossible to farm or buy so many glyphs to levelup them from like lvl 48/49 to 55. But all can have new 50 lvl gear and level up to 55 which should have similar or even better stats.
    End of story.

    I'm sorry to disappoint you. My friend has a 1.1k+ crit value crit adorn at level 45. A level 50 item will be hard to even get 1.1k. Therefore, even at level 45, the low level gives better or equal stats. Obviously, 46 and 47 is still doable and will easily make it stronger. It remains an issue that crit value is so low while every other stat is being buffed.

    i think... at lvl40 averaged weapon adorn with full crit was about 400 (4x100), lvl45 adorn is about 600... so at lvl50 could be 900 (each 5 lvls it gets+50% more or less).. and this is an estimation, so with few glyphs lvling 50 to 55 adorns they can get close to low lvled ones (but still not better)... only time will give us the answer :)

    Yeah, doubt it. Oh, and guess what. You guys are assuming low level is not level 50 already :) Already more than double your guess of "600 crit value" at level 45. It makes that adorn look like a joke.

    Something you must understand. These players were farming months or years for this benefit and may spent lots of andermants, too (to enter the low level map for 400 andermants per entry).
    And now Nightwaker comes here and want to take it from them. I think only a few players have these low level items with nearly max stats. There is a lot of player who may have 800-900 low level crit item instead of 1100 which is a small advantage. Or Nightwalker want to go 3 PW maps and get similar item within 5 mins that someone else got within years? Excellent...

    Nobody can get a similar low level crit item anymore. The game balance solution should have been to either 1) let everyone have access to them or 2) to bar access to low level crit item and nerf existing low level crits or 3) bar access to low level crit and provide access to high level gear with comparable crit line.

    It should not have neen to permit low level crit items to remain for old players while not letting players work to obtain them.
