Achievements Done Right

 

Why?

Currently achievements on meta quest are almost meaningless while even having a designated app almost nobody uses called "scoreboards". I was thinking achievements should get revamped and heres how.

How?

For users: achievements should be displayed on the control panel and notification panel with a new app introduced named "Achievements"

Achievements should have tiers like playstation and xbox.

Tiers going 1 (worst) and to 4 (best)

  1. Bronze - minor achievements
  2. Silver - normal achievements 
  3. Gold - challenging achievements 
  4. Platinum - extremely hard achievements 

(All with complete different sounds for each tier, with platinum being the "best sounding" tier.)

For developers: add tools for developers to add tiers for specific achievements.

    You still have Scoreboards?
    For me, it was removed from my headset (by Meta) about 6 months ago...
    The deprecation and removal of that app is the reason I created https://meta-achievements.onrender.com/

    IMHO, we don't need a new separate app, tracking achievements should be integrated in the OS itself .

    Tiers would be awesome, but I'm afraid that ship has sailed.
    There are hundreds of apps where the developers are not active anymore.
    Maybe Meta can automatically set the difficulty depending on how many people have unlocked the achievement? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
    (active developers can fine-tune if they want)

    I think a point-based system (based on the amount of people that have unlocked it) has more chance to happen.
    Unlocked by 0-10% players = 10 points
    Unlocked by 10-20% players = 9 points
    ....
    Unlocked by 90-100% players = 1 point
