Flight Rising Discussion

personally, i hope that they will, they're a fun little optional part of FR. whenever i joined (on my old acct) i had a lot of fun doing them and it made me feel like i was actually doing something as a casual player. hell, it was nice to forget about them and see them randomly pop up ^^

idk, it kind of still feels weird to me (even after several months of being back) that the userpages look so empty without them

i think they should come back! it was a fun little thing

I didn't particularly like them, but I might be interested in new ones if:

A) they didn't take too long to trigger. Most of them kicked in right away, but I remember it could take a while for the chess, doll, and runestone ones to register. I borrowed a set of runestones for the achievement and got slightly nervous, hoping the next player wouldn't have to wait too long.

B) instructions for getting them were clearly stated. "You're the Best Around" was really confusing.

C) they were accessible to everyone. The Boolean one, aaaaaagh

They will! They just are gonna fix up the whole rest of the site first which is why they've been gone for so long.

i hope they do but i hope they... update? them a bit. im not sure the boolean one would be possible anymore alskdjf

They will eventually, but everything else needs to be updated first because of how the system worked- since achievements covered nearly all aspects of the site.

Basically you could still get 100% completion without it.

Because this system touches so many portions of the game, we have to hold off on developing it until we’re closer to completing the rewrite in order to avoid duplicating work.[/quote] [quote][b]What’s going to happen to the achievements I’ve already earned?[/b] We’re going to be [b]retaining achievement data[/b] on the backend. When the new system launches, you’ll be able to view the ones you earned in the old system in something like a “Legacy” section. These legacy achievements won’t be worth achievement points or count toward the grand total in the new system, but they will be there for you to share and remember. If there is an equivalent to an old achievement in the new system, one of our goals is to find a way to retroactively award it to you. [b] Why shut down the system at all?[/b] Ultimately it came down to a quality call. As we mentioned above, the achievements system was not meeting our quality standards and we decided that it wasn’t something we wanted there to confuse new players or frustrate veteran players. There are also a number of [b]infrastructure needs we must address[/b] first in order to support a new system, without the old one in there causing conflicts.[/quote]

We know they're coming back at some point. When? Who knows!

I was somehow under the impression that they were gone for good. It'll be interesting to see how the new system works.
