Hear me out please. I’m pretty positive that there’s a psychological connection between starting a new character/alt and getting a good feeling of starting fresh and “here’s to a new adventure” kind of thing. You especially get this feeling by playing a new character in classic wow. When it comes to modern wow, there’s one thing that kinda blocks this feeling, and that is the achievement pane. I think having the option to only show character specific achievements in-game while opening the achievement pane (Y) could be very positive for many people wanting to play a new character. At least this is what I feel for my self. I would love to start a new character and have the option to hide the thousands of achievements ive earned on my other characters from view, displaying only the progress of my current logged in character. “0 Achievements earned” It feels good to sometimes start fresh imo.
it would be great as a toggle
I’m the opposite. When I get the same achievement two, three times in a row it frustrates me. Been there done that, don’t need to be reminded every time.
However, I see no issue having this option implemented. Can’t do any harm for sure.
this option already exists
I knew someone would say this and that’s why I specified “In game while opening the achievement pane (Y)”. It’s true that the option show character specific achievements already exist, but this only works on the battle.net webpage. aka the armory, and when inspecting someone in game. It does not hide account wide achievements for you. Only for others. What i’m suggesting is to have the option to show only character specific achievement progress while opening the in game achievement tab.
I suppose this can be done with an addon. Currently, WOW UI shows both character and account achievement mixed, this should be easy to filter to show one or both.
I try in the past to code an addon that shows only character achievement, which means any achievement that has been completed by other characters will show as incomplete, and also have an option to show the opposite, account achievements only, in this case removing from the UI the information of what character has completed the achievement, so there won’t be a difference between achievements completed by the current character and achievements completed by other characters.
The problem I have is that I couldn’t found how to prevent achievements to pop up as completed for the account achievement filter, I found how to change the UI option but not how to prevent the achievement popup.
Even I think it could be possible to show some incomplete achievements as completed in the UI to have some sort of cross achievements with Classic, Classic TBC, or Classic WOTLK servers because after all achievements is just a list of things you did.
For all of these things, it is just a matter of intercept the API call that obtains the list of completed achievements and just adds or removes any achievement that we want.
