I wrote about the subject in detail back in WOTLK <a href="http://priestwithacause.blogspot.co.uk/2010/06/slightly-different-view-of-ulduar.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>.Shintarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758343475446510635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-49425776333992782352013-05-24T21:53:20.997+01:002013-05-24T21:53:20.997+01:00Impossible!

It must have been inevitable but I finally found a smidgen, a tiny speck, a side note where I actually disagree with you. Shocking, I know! Not that I have any desire to disagree with you at all ;)<br /><br />However, I still maintain that <i>Ulduar</i> was the absolute pinnacle of raiding and no small part of that lies with the hard mode / achievement system. I also don’t think that there is only one right way to complete an encounter.<br /><br />Concerning the Bartle-Test: I will have to investigate this matter a bit closer, but at first sight the test doesn't seem to be very scientific and also doesn’t strike me as very well thought-through. My “score” is EASK (80/40/40/40).Maldwizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02726258842496198525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-69433982993911550802013-05-24T01:02:38.220+01:002013-05-24T01:02:38.220+01:00Rav, it's the first Google result if you searc...Rav, it's the first Google result if you search for "Bartle test", or just go to <a href="http://www.gamerdna.com/quizzes/bartle-test-of-gamer-psychology" rel="nofollow">this link</a>. :)<br /><br />I just redid it myself and apparently my social side has overtaken my explorer side since last time!

Since there aren't any rewards, I just think "oh cool, I completed an achievement" without being conscious about being busy with one. That said, I don't know how much I score as Achiever with that test (probably not that high). <br /><br />@Redbeard, Where can I take that test?Ravanelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03447777640056476366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-13876930801032770512013-05-22T10:56:08.413+01:002013-05-22T10:56:08.413+01:00I noticed the Neverwinter thing when I got items l...I noticed the Neverwinter thing when I got items like "Ogre Slayer I" popping up, but I've never even looked at the achievement UI there (if there is one).<br /><br />And aaah, Loremaster.

I just took the test and scored Explorer > Socializer > Killer > Achiever too!<br /><br />(For the record, it was something like 80%/67%/33%/27% breakdown.)<br /><br />Neverwinter has a similar achievement system to TOR, and I didn't realize it until I killed some baddie and all of a sudden "POP!" there it was. I'm kind of meh about it, since the only achievement I really cared about was Loremaster when it was hard to get, and the Loremaster achieve kind of feeds the Explorer mantra anyway.<br /><br />Still, it seems enough people are happy with it. At least TOR hasn't made achieves account-wide.<br /><br /><br />Redbeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05306063084983025771noreply@blogger.com
