World of Warcraft Achievements To Be Retroactive
In an attempt to drag even more gamers kicking and screaming into the evil clutches of a World of Warcraft addiction, Blizzard recently announced the addition of achievements to the upcoming expansion Wrath of the Lich King. In an interview with MTV Multiplayer, lead WoW designer Jeffrey Kaplan has stated that many of the achievements will be retroactive unlike those of the recently launched PS3 trophy system.
"We retroactively track any quest Achievements or any Achievement for an item which is either on your character or in your bank," he said. "There are a lot of Achievements based on stuff like honorable kills or reputations. We have all that tracked."
Exciting news for long time WoW players, but be aware that not every achievement will be retroactively applied.
"There's a quest associated with killing Onyxia, like the turn-in-her-head quest," Kaplan said, citing an example. "We know if you've done that, but the problem is, not everybody who's killed Onyxia has necessarily gotten the head and turned it in. So there's a fairness issue. It's like, 'Well, I raided with these guys but Bob got the head and then he turned it in.' And then when the Achievement goes live, his Achievement will be filled out but mine won't. So there might be understandability issues there like, 'Well, how come he got it but I didn't?' So that's something we're actually feeling out in the beta. I'm torn on that right now."
