So I've been playing actively for a week now, playing a new character, exploring the world again, enjoying everything there is. I'm quite happy, I'm also leveling professions and stuff. Sadly, there's no low-level PvP and I can rarely get a dungeon or an adventure queue pop but that's all. But I'm enjoying it all and I can't wait to get this character to 50 and start progressing ^^
 
Now my rant:
WHY ARE THERE "ONE-TIME" ACHIEVEMENTS?! I mean, seriously. There are achievements in the zones, hidden below all the zone story progression achievements which are a one-time thing. Why are they under the zone's quest section?For example: In Quest->Galeras there's the achievement "Expert Investigator". I saw that achievement 10 minutes after I did the story for the hidden XAS thingie. I looked on reddit and the forums - it's been talked about for more than a year. Carbine, why is this still like that? I, and many more achievement hunters like me, are left out crying in their corners because if they want to have the achievements, they have to reroll their character because of this.
 
Please, address this issue. I know it's not the highest priority, but at least fix it for the Steam release. Maybe change the achievements to require something else which can be reactivated or something... Please don't do this to us, the players. I'm not gonna reroll this character because I'm already too attached to it, but I'd like to get this addressed and I'd like to have a Carbine employee respond here.
Thanks!

Hey Peshyy,
 
This has been a thing since release and reported multiple times.
Unfortunately Carbine has not changed this yet :/

Why should that matter? What you need to do is explained by the NPC's that give the quest. There is no time limit. You can look back through the chat log and see everything that all the NPC's you talk to say and you can always work out the person you need to talk to provided you take the time to do it.
 
All it takes is a little effort.
 
Besides, it's impossible to ever get all the achievements, for the simple fact that you can only be one of four paths for each character, and each path has achievements unique to it.
 
For what it's worth, I totally understand the urge to do everything (there's several games I've wasted far too much time (and enjoyed it :)) getting 100% or all the trophies on), but it's literally not possible in most MMO's.

But.. You don't understand. Those achievements are very badly hidden among all the other achievements.

			If you didn't know about it already, make sure you turn in 100 loftite crystals in Algoroc before you do anything else in that zone.

Man, you taking achievements way too serious. This is just a flashy banner, that you got something in some way and put some record in your database. But play by achievements list? Kinda boring. So, I have to stand here, and at this moment interrupt NPC, then I will get extra banner? And I have to read about achievement in zone as soon as I got into this zone? Or else I can miss something. Kinda disturbing. It's ok getting some hard stuff, like don't die in raid during whole raid, or just kill this freaking raid boss, or challenges, but you talking about really insignificant things like "do this before this in this quest".
 
I don't understand that kind of achievements.

Forsaken, understand that not everyone plays and enjoys games in the same way as you. What seems "insignificant" to you is not so insignificant to other people.
 
Personally, I sympathize with the OP. The only reason I was able to get those achieves is because I knew about them after having played pre-release for so long.

I didn't know about any of these one-time achievements. For the veterans out there, is there a list of all these achievements somewhere? The game has been out long enough that I would expect something like that to be posted online. If not, can we start a list?
This is very relevant to my interests, and I may also restart since I'm only level 16...

Here's what I found:
https://www.reddit.com/r/WildStar/comments/28r6ls/list_of_permanently_missable_achievements/
 
There might be more, but I just did a Google search after seeing your comment and that's what came up :) I bet there's more!

They're not listed somewhere that says "one-time" achievements. They're listed under the zone they're obtained it, and they're mixed with the other ones
----
			Okay, great! I'm going to do some looking around, and if I can't find anything suitably compiled I'm going to make a reference document for this. For myself at least, even if it doesn't help anyone else.

A bit of a BUMP, but.....
 
Finally got it! I found out you can just abandon the quest and re-take it. It'll still count. @inconsiderate you can add that to your documents :P
