CS achievements
I noticed that some CS achievements are now counting towards laurels. I understand the reason behind this and I'm okay with "win X times" achievements, these are grindy but obtainable for every class. I can't say that about rest of them. I'm not pro in BGs, but as far as I know running with bombs as healer is a good way to lose match or/and get kicked.
Sure, for healer, getting stuns and debuffs on purpose in dungeon will also wipe/slow party (and with cleanse you will never 'accidentally' get vomiting or doomed hero). But for dungeons I can go there with 2 friends or make an achievement LFG and wipe as much as I want until we get it. When I do BG ones, I have to ruin gameplay for other players. So I think the achievements that do not count as 'doing your job' in BGs should go back to Special.
I'm also not sure about 'get first rank' one. Not to mention being extremely hard to get, is this even obtainable for healers? I've seen healers in top5, but first? It seems impossible to outscore top PvPers with just assists and heals.

granted it would still take a very long time to farm 200 kills this way, but it's probably the best method you've got if you don't want people yelling at you for it mid game
Single bomb is not enough to kill, so it's still a rare occasion to be in a right time, right place with right opponent low on hp.
Woah thanks, that's interesting to know. Nothing like these idle few seconds when everyone has to click on "Confirm" to ......... have a blast.
Not to mention that CS doesn't pop these days, so any of those achievements are ridiculously hard to get anyway.
took me 150 games to get 100 first place (around 1 month), when this achv first come out.
I had priest friends that got 1st place 100 times, so isnt impossible
but your biggest problem will be:
Their issue is they don't want to basically troll the team to get these achievements, and they even mention this. In dungeons you can at least get some by yourself without wasting other people's time, or finding a couple to do them with.
Also, how the hell are we supposed to get the "school of fish" achievement from Timescape, since the isn't even available anymore? LOL
you sure have a good eye for things LOL
BG's shouldn't count for laurels or make the damn achievements system account-wide.
I just got my diamond back, and have several WBs and a good amount of (new) dungeon achievements left. If those aren't enough to get to champion, I might try some of the CS cheevos, or just wait for the next patch.
And yes, please someone from EME staff tell us how we are supposed to catch the Timescape fishies now.
Are we even playing the same game?
Half of the achievements since the 65 patch have been "suck at this to get an achievement." Seriously.
BR - Stepping in puddles. Good player that knows how to i-frame? Too bad, you need to suck.
RG - Moa Problems, anyone? You had to try really hard to suck for this (title totally worth it doe).
TS - Get hit by attacks on kuma so he'd spawn more [filtered] for you to kill. Not [filtered] yourself? Too bad, get to faceplanting in those puddles. Oh, and while you're at it, facetank all his jumps too, because that's something else you need to suck at.
FI - Get hit by the RIP debuff 20 times. Intentionally step in the easiest to avoid AoEs ever, 20 times.
AI - Get stomped on x number of times during his shield phase because reasons. Also had to get hit by lava intentionally.
KD - Petrification, the debuff to rival all debuffs since it had a 50% insta-kill rate rather than the 30k damage it was supposed to do. But yeah, get hit by this easy-to-avoid attack. Also had to walk through puddles. Because who doesn't love puddles at this point, right? And last but not least, don't forget walking into literally every bomb in existence for around 2-3 runs to get your bomb achievement.
LKNM - Get hit by Ponyta's back kick 20 times, get 5 stacks of Lillith's debuff (literally have to sit in the edge of the arena for a good while for this to be possible) so she can oneshot you.
And of course we get to SSNM/HM and DFHM, which notably have a lot of things where you're supposed to be totally trap. Are they exceptions though? Obviously not. It's been a trend to make achievements that count on a player's failure for a long time. SC was the only one, as far as I can remember, that didn't require you to be total crap. The closest thing to a fail achievement was getting two stacks of Scorched Scar, but you had to survive it, which actually isn't easy for a healer to outheal.
I've been an achievement hunter for a very long time, years in fact.
I've had champion laurel icon around my class, and 100% complete progress in every individual category for achievements except special in every single season they've been out for. This means individual champion laurels for every category too (except for season one where I only achieved Diamond as class icon laurel)
I know this is just my personal hobby inside tera, u can call it whatever u want. But it really pisses me off when they put a huge wall that says, no you can't get this because we are forcing you to do the thing u hate the most in this game. Battlegrounds. Battlegrounds that no one plays often enough to have a regular easy queue as to make it more bearable. I have always endured, and tried my best to keep up with achievements, some have been harder than others, to the point they felt imposible at times, but I've managed to achieve it every single patch (I main a priest wich makes some achievements harder..) Now, when this patch went live and I checked my dungeons & bg tab, I felt like not even bothering with regular pve usual achievements I normally look forward to. I felt like not even bothering doing them, because no matter if I get all of them, the Dungeons and BG individual laurel will still be diamond :c! So what's the point?
I doubt I'll ever manage 100 first on cs as a priest, I've been high enough to be second but never first. You always have that tryhard expert pvper that will farm kills on the match. And besides the easiest way to get rank first as a non damage class is by destructions. Wich means I gotta hop on a tank and try to get theirs multiple times. I'm a healer, am I suposed to leave my team fend for themselves while I drive a tank around trying to farm a ridiculous achievement 100 freaking times???? I guess I am, because this is what the game is telling me to do... *sarcasm*
I have however started my regular hunt for pve achievements in the dungeon tab. Is just something that makes me enjoy the game a bit more and I get to drag my friends around to do stupid runs that will probably kill us all at least once in the process xD! I try to enjoy the little things, but it trully makes me sad that they are forcing me to bg pvp troll to get what I want. I may try to get them, haven't decided yet -w-!
