Remove Level Boost or Add Slight Achievement Assistance (rant)

Do what you want, doesn’t bother me. I’m just letting you know what’ll happen - Nothing.

Maybe we could get a Premium boost pack too, rather than the standard boost it puts you at level 110 immediately and any “old content” such as achievements, rep grinds, transmogs etc are all auto completed so all you need to do is run current content. :expressionless:

Lol, if they are to act against player objection at times, for the sake of $$ (level boost are here to stay, also things like TF/WF, Timegating etc.) I’d say why not. If they added such a thing as level boost and still keeping things like TF/WF, Timegating, Ability pruning despite people don’t like it, this should be totally fine as well.

This makes zero sense to me. Maybe you can unpack.

Getting a character to 110 is “something you have worked towards to achieve” no less than any other. It also comes with its own achievement as well, of course.

Are you saying it is somehow less of an achievement than “Shave and a Haircut” or “Must Love Dogs” or “Got My Mind On My Money”?

25

As achievement yes, not a Meta granting a title which is what the OP is asking for.

I just fail to see: whats wrong with adding some OPTIONAL assist for players, if they are stuck on a whole meta because of very last bits? They’d still achieve it mostly with their own work (just like in my case) this is not a “Buy the whole thing” but appearently you are still treating it like it. I’ll say it again it would be an OPTION, some could still do all of it on their own if they wanted, they wouldn’t be forced to skip it, its just that what OPTION means.

Also you may want to edit this link at one of your posts above, because I don’t see anything on the preview even after I checked it with my pop-up blocker disabled, so it doesn’t make sense atm. and post is looking slightly annoying, and no I won’t click it to open it externally. just FYI.

You are a Day to late for a sunday thread.

Ok, the classic “You are too late for the weekend” post. SOOO contributive, thanks. Now, is there anything else?

29

Never say never, this is activisions game now.

If you mean my link in the thread where I said “I’m sorry but…” it’s a GIF image showing fine for me.

I get that it’s an option, that does not make me feel any different about being able to purchase a meta completion. It’s just my opinion.

Leave that topic aside for a bit, I’m just curios how does this affect you ? :confused:

32

This has to be the worst reasoning I’ve ever read for the removal of the level boost.

33

I don’t know how its a bad reasoning, its just to show Blizz’s way of bending, making exception on their principles or whatever you call it. Both leveling/achievements have to be earned in game on their true right. There was no such thing as level boost existed before, because its play-to-earn related but its here available for boost. Appearantly it’s fine to make an exception for boost on leveling despite the are exceptions against it just for the sake of $$, but there is not for achievement.

If I wanted option to buy full mythic set and you objected against it, I’d understand but not in this case because comparing these 2 (leveling/achievements) makes sense, in my opinion.

I’ll just say you are disagreeing for the sake of disagreeing, tbh.

34

The level boost is because the game is over ten years old, has many levels, and it allows people to catch up to the current expansion and play. This service is not free and comes at a premium cost, a boost in included with the expansion when you buy it.

I see no justification for removing that boost.

35

Anything. From full metas, to single achievments for each “master of x”.
If the achievment is individual you can still benefit from a premade, you’ll just have to take turns on who does it, and hope people are decent and dont jump ship after getting theirs.

The achievments discord is a great place to look for people, they always up to do all sorts of achievments. Good luck

And I don’t see its justified to be stuck with a whole meta because of 2 achievements either. My main point in this thread is, there should be boosts or no boosts at all, all or nothing. I’m not really into strictly removing Level Boost but if its here to stay. A minor assist “boost” available for achievements (ONLY when you are stuck because of 1-2 remaining not buying out the whole thing), so you don’t feel desperate because of being unable to complete them and don’t feel like your time wasted for completing the rest.

37

You want to buy achievements, that does not compare to buying a character boost. They are not the same thing. If Blizzard sells achievements they have crossed a line.

38

I think its worth to check that out, I’ll try and I hope come across dedicated people and not just those “that would jump the ship” like you mentioned. Thanks :slight_smile:

39

How would this work? Would every achievement have these boosts? Say pathfinder and holiday title achievements?

Would it mean that I could literally cut a corner for the hallowed title as I only have two bits left for it? Just as an example.

Or would it be only a few achievements that are eligible? Which ones would qualify? How would you/blizzard determine what you are actually paying for if say you had done 1 2 4 5 7 and 8 of an achievement so need 3 and 6 but I’ve got 2 3 5 6 7 8 so need 1 and 4, can you buy each one you need and a max of two?

Genuine questions as to how you envision this working :slight_smile:

I didn’t really think detailed about this, but I’d say… maybe on any of them and if you have completed more than 80-90% of it on a meta. % depends on quantity of the achievements, of course.
