In the next beta patch (currently scheduled to hit sometime next week), we will be turning off achievements to facilitate further service testing. During this time, characters will be unable to earn new achievements or complete any additional objectives of achievements already in-progress.

Please note that this will only be a temporary change, and that achievements will be available again in a later patch. We don't have an ETA for the release of the patch that re-implement achievements, but we’ll be sure to provide an update in the coming weeks.

Hey folks! Due to an upcoming change in the way we store character data, all characters will be wiped with the next patch beta patch. Since this wipe will also affect achievements, I wanted to drop a quick note in this thread to make sure you're all aware.

Originally, we weren't planning to wipe characters, so that meant your achievements would still be available, but you just couldn't complete any new objectives. The changes we're making to character storage are really important, though, and a character wipe is necessary to fully implement them.

We apologize for the late notice, but thank you for all the testing and feedback you've provided so far!
