Account wide accolade badges

[Steampunkette]

I'd be down with some account wide accolades.

 

Not the ones we have, now, but things like "You have a 50 of every Hero/Villain/Epic Archetype!" accolades which give every character on your account a badge with a nifty title. Same thing with "You have 50 Magic Heroes!" and you get a badge that's like "Magician" or something similar.

 

I think that'd be nifty.

They are a trivial matter. It’s just a repetitive, tedious activity that people have been doing for years. There’s nothing particularly difficult about it. 

As for the power creep argument—the game is easy, whether they make a change like this or not. People that have a problem with this can play harder content or skip the accolades if they think it’s a big deal. 

 

If they're such a trivial matter, why don't you just skip them, since you seem to believe that they're not worth the effort to acquire unless the requirements for them are dumbed down to the point where you don't have to make any real effort to get them?

this could be good.  or, this could be bad.

 

there is certainly almost no way anything like this will hit Homecoming.  or, ... it might.

I do skip them, generally speaking. And when I don’t, the “real effort” amounts to moving a character to locations that are memorized or marked on a map in order to get “exploration” badges. Or clicking on history plaques, the contents of which were first introduced in what, 2004?

 

Moreover, the “don’t like it, don’t do it” argument can be applied to anything.

Don’t like that a melee set underperforms? Don’t play it.

Don’t like that certain ATs are less favored in hard content? Don’t play them. 

Don’t like that certain areas of the game are underpopulated (eg. redside)? Just don’t play there. 

 

It’s a recipe for stagnation that favors risk-averse players that are satisfied with what they have and don’t want change.
