I play a fair bit of Fallout New Vegas and one thing that keeps me coming back even though I've got 500h of gametime on it is that I haven't completed all the achievements. Sometimes I wonder what to do next in Eve... we already have the medal system, so perhaps medals could be corp awarded or concord awarded. This already exists to a limited extent with FW. imagine if you could make these public in your toon

Titan Kill medal
Billion Tonne Destroyed medal
Major Power Leadership (director of exec corp of alliance with 1000 members?)
Mined a Million (units of asteroids?)
Circumnavigation (bronze/silver/gold/unobtanium - visited 25/50/75/100% of the eve systems)
Master Interdictor (scrammed/bubbled 1000 ships)
Deep Space Adventurer (completed 100 sites in 0.0)

Etc. There could be levels of each (bronze/silver etc) that would supersede each other, with the entry levels being friendly and low for new players. They should all reflect actual gameplay accomplishments instead of just training.

We already have certificates and corps can award medals for anything they can think of. Both of these can be made public.

Kills stats are again public on the various killboards so we do already have these things in place.

Think CCP have better things to be getting on with.

Don't support this idea at all.

No, because there are so many things in this game which aren't something that an achievement system could monitor. Also, because there are so many ways people would just game the system to get more achievements.

I don't see it adding any play value to the game, and will actually hurt fleet performance when the guy you need to be doing one thing goes off and does something else so he can get some stupid medal.

Acheivements have been around a very long time.... its not something unique with Consoles.

And even then....if your so ashamed of them...well maybe you should get therapy.

The word you should be looking for isn't "ashamed". Also, I didn't ask where it was at present, but from whence it originated.

Supported if it replaces current medal system. You buy yourself a medal and give it to yourself, it's pathetic. Medals should be real.

Yes, and no.

Medals are good for CEO's who wish to recognize members who do good stuff or bad stuff or just stuff.

Certs never made sense to me

Achievemtns would be funny....but as a limited thing or for kicks.

Killmail excuse isn't good enuogh as thats badly abused and easily faked.


As I said before....this is not a high priority earth shattering thing...but not a bad one either.

We already have "achievements". Check out the elite hull tanking certificate if you don't believe me.

Not having a formal achievements system means that you have to actually engage with other players in order to boast about the things you have done: write a blog post showing your "systems I have visited" screen shot, post a YouTube video of your first Titan fight, etc. Heck, fly your Zephyr around to show that you were actively playing the game during the Christmas break in 2009, or your Apopheosis to show you were here for the 5th birthday celebrations.

The achievements systems in games like Portal are simply time wasting diversions. You don't actually achieve anything more than "hey guys! look how much time I wasted playing video games alone in my basement forever!"

*sigh*

I really can't wait to see the fruits of the latest "volunteer moderator recruitment" drive - these kinds of backhanded personal attacks just because you're too lazy to come up with a proper argument just serves to cement the view devs have of this forum being the playground of clueless whiners.
How the hell should anyone take anything else you write here seriously?

Does this make me want to play EVE more?: No.

Does this majorly/minorly change mechanics?: No.

Does this make the game better?: No.

Why bother?: I don't know...
