IMHO, achievements should always be ACHIEVEable. So please, no retired achievements please. ("Trophies" are a different matter entirely.)

If writers are supposed to "show not tell," why are we called "storytellers" and not "storyshow-ers"?
I'm so glad we finally have an update on what's happening to the achievement system, after it's been offline for years.

Will the Boolean Achievement make a return?

This category is one of the first things we discussed. We don't have any plans for achievements that only a small group of people can get, not even for zero points.

Thank you for this.

I hope these pursuits will get players more interested in exalting, I feel like it would be a good way to get people in non-dom flights to engage with that system.

Oh wow, I'm super excited for this! When achievements would make their inevitable return, I had no idea there'd be so much TLC put into the system! My expectations have been blown out of the water, and I'm really looking forward to Pursuits. :)

Question regarding the three pursuit types: daily, weekly, and monthly.
Do you need to log in every day in order to complete them?
I play a game with a similar idea of pursuits and if you miss a single day you automatically lose the chance to finish the weekly and monthly quests for that month.

This is a good question and we understand why you'd have this concern! That's not how we plan on approaching the development of pursuits. By design, pursuits are meant to be less intensive and contain more lenient objectives.
For instance: as it stands right now, we are concepting our weekly and monthly pursuits in a way so that weekly pursuits can be comfortably completed in about 4ish days and monthly pursuits can comfortably be completed in about 20 days. For daily pursuits, you can expect that they'd be simple enough and brief enough that they could be knocked out in a few minutes.
Our goal is to intentionally design pursuits to feel like they are more or less being completed fairly naturally as you do normal gameplay and (if we do this right) you won't feel compelled to max them every time. They're just a cherry on top and way for players to grab a bit more currency to supplement what they're earning through achievements.

Are pursuits going to be the same for all players or are they going to be different for each player?
Also are pursuits only after all the main achievements are gone or are they always there?

I love the idea of pursuits! Gives me another reason to keep checking on the game when I have nothing to do. Super excited!

We are still deciding on your first question; it's a good one and needs a lot of consideration. For your second question: pursuits will always be there and always be available. Even if you register for [i]Flight Rising[/i] on June 8th, 2023, you'll still be able to interact with the Pursuits system.

Heck yeah!! And new things for completing them too? That's awesome!
I can't wait to see the new achievements!
Quick question, will the older players be able to see the old achievements they got before they where originally removed? Even if they don't reward anything I'd like to see what ones I used to have.

Unfortunately, given how patchy and old the progression data is for legacy achievements, there isn't really a way for us to surface that information to players given how vastly different the underlying achievement architecture is. At some point in the future it's possible that we may be able to pull it out as historical information, but it's not being scoped into this project.

if I remember right; when the old achievements retired it was said each player's data was saved and stored away for when achievements make a return. did something happen to this saved data?
edit: just for clarification; I don't mean they would return as actual achievements and give us points, but more like a legacy display case for us older players!
