Achievement Points progress?

Multiplayer Discussion

Achievement points, aside from collecting to show online or brag about, they hold no real value. They came around in “madness at the darkmoon faire” expansion but has not received any meaningful changes since then which contribute to the points value.

Hearthstone themselves classified these points as “satisfying goals for players” however, if they are not followed by xp or other items, there is no real point to achieving them.

Are they going to make any progress to being able to use these points for something? Is there going to be more than a point system for achieving easy to difficult challenges?

I urge Blizzard to try and use these points in a way that actually incentivizes players to achieve them. To reiterate, since November 17th of 2020 nothing has been added to the achievement side of hearthstone and it seems an unused opportunity to benefit the long term and short term players.

While the game right now may not be at its best, in terms of playability and card power, an appreciation of players work through the game would be nice.

You only get rewards for the new achievements, not for the older ones.

And yes, they are mainly there for “bragging rights”, just like achievements in WoW.

they don’t read this forum, they don’t know what communication means

in wow, they give titles, mounts, pets etc…

I never bothered turning in my achievements. Spent about an hour yesterday clicking through and turning them all in. :laughing:

Which are bragging rights. Titles, mounts and pets won’t get you in raids.

they do get you in raids, when you’re looking for a group or raid, they usually ask you to show your achievement
it’s also true in pvp, a glad (or hota for rbg) achievement gets you in any pvp group

Theres quite a few that get you rewards ,like this one that will give the whole core set Golden.

Blizzard actualy has a leg up over most other companies we get some extra stuff here and there.

Yeah I think they could add something. At the moment it’s kinda like Xbox Achievements but at least other players can see those

I agree. A. points are a complete waste of programming space as they currently exist.

And ?
At least Blizzard tries here you get this extras compared that with other major players like Microsoft and Sony were you get nothing else.

It’s only good for treasures. Gearing up mercenaries. They already have a gold system, so I don’t know what you would spend it on. Maybe, artifacts and power ups.

13

That’s not true. Last time I showed my Pet Achievement, I was kicked out of the raid.

Oh, you’re talking about achievements that can be used as proof that you did that raid. Well, congratulations, you sure showed me. You found the minuscule amount of achievements that could be useful in progression. Whatever did we do before we had achievements? Oh right, we checked Gearscore.

i’d rather get a player with a lower gs but higher xp than a player with a good gs but no xp, in pve and pvp
and there’s no gs on hs so…

You’re really overestimating how relevant the achievements rewards are in a 8 years old game.

I doubt developers will add grander rewards to the current achievement system. However, the future could always hold that possibility.

At this point, you’re either an Achievement Farmer or you’re not! I for one love collecting those points, but I’d assume most people couldn’t care less (in Hearthstone at least).

I’m content with my 65% collection achievement progress. It means I have more than enough cards. lol

Some of the achievements you get rewards for them based on that achievement and then points to show that you completed it. I mean there’s no reason why Blizzard should make some type of use for the points that we have earned.

If you play Diablo 3, there’s points there as well, and just like in hearthstone they accumulate when you complete stuff, but hold no other purpose and there’s no need for them to.

Well, When you reach 500 wins on a character you get the achievement points Plus you get Golden legendary for a class card.

There are also portraits and other things like Diamond cards that you get when you collect all the cards in a set which you get points for.

So we already do get stuff in the achievements.

How’s that comparable to the hundreds of mounts, pets and titles in wow ?

The things you get in hs are laughable and golden heroes existed way before achievements.
