Titles and Achievements Sneak Peek

shadowmage

That sounds cool, what is it and how do I get some? Titles and

Achievements is what we are calling a system that is part of the

Labyrinth project that lets players obtain numerous titles (through

the use of emblems) for their characters. Players will attain titles

through four methods: Quests, Slaying, Collecting and Using.

Quests – Titles obtained through the completion of various quests in

and around the Labyrinth, these will be directly related to the quest

or story. For example, “Unsung Hero” or “of the Iron Guard” are two examples of what

players will be able to obtain.

Slaying – The most straight-forward of titles, these are obtained by

getting Achievement “quests” from a particular NPC near the Labyrinth.

These “quests” will then track the number of kills of particular

monster types for the players and reward them with titles related to

that monster type. For example, “Scorpion-Slayer” or “Squasher” are

two potential titles players may see.

Collecting – As there is quite a bit of new loot in the Labyrinth, a

new type of title will be available through the use of Achievement

“quests”. These “quests” will track the number of times each player

loots a particular item or turns in certain items. “Relic Hunter” and

“Lore Seeker” are two potential titles.

Using – The final method by which players can obtain titles in the

Labyrinth is generically called “using”. Utilizing the same type of

Achievement “quest”, this system tracks the number of times a player

creates or uses a particular item or casts a specific spell.

“Purifier” and “Keymaster” are two potential titles for this system.

Well, that about covers the Titles and Achievement system. Now, for

a few quick Q&A.

Q: What if I don’t have an Achievement quest, will the game still

track my kills or looting or using?

A: No, that is one unfortunate side-effect of the system. You must

have a quest to enable tracking of your actions.

Q: Where will I store all of these wonderful emblems? I’m already

out of storage!

A: The team is considering ways of assisting players with the storage

of emblems, but at this time we have not yet come up with a solution

that satisfies everyone’s concerns. Keep checking back for further

information on this.
