With all the skins we are getting now and the ones we'll be able to get in future, I was thinking it would be nice to have an achievement to incentivate people to get skins, could be something like:
Own 1, 5, 10 different skin bases
No thank you. Other skins that you get from doing things around site like buying from SubQ or whatever will come? Sure.
But I don't want Pandemic skins to become incentivized in particular. :c
I like that we can pick and choose which we want; I'd rather not see the entire event become a desperate scramble for skins. I'd rather see it turn into One Skin Per Pandemic than let loose that free for all.
Looking at the Pandemic forums it's pretty much that already.
With the number of skins from the Zapper, I don't think this is a bad idea.
I like the idea myself.
Then again, I'm one of those people trying to get as many different skins as I can anyways because I'm a wardrobe addict, lol. I'm on my third zombie skin, and I've calculated and recalculated if I'll have enough time to get a 4th. (yes with any luck c:)
I love the forum title idea too c: Plus, there are plenty zapper skins out there too, so people won't just be scrambling for zombie skins.

Yup. Now imagine it x10. Add an achievement and people will go super nuts.
That said I'm not sure there's a way to make an achievement and NOT include zombie skins, so yeah.
Just feels like it would turn a fun event into MUST COLLECT ALL THE THINGS instead of the event itself and I'd rather the site not actively choose that route.
Edit:
What I WOULD support, though, are achievements for collecting SPECIFIC skins like the SubQ lace skin. Otherwise, it's just one more collecting thing like SubQ sets or numbers of things in the store, and I'm not a fan.
BUT that being said, I love forum titles and if this had one, I'd be all about it (I was planning on collecting all the zapper skins around morostide anyway, so woo more incentive)
Tbh I like this idea. I mean, at 10 skins all it would take is a decent supply of Wizard tokens and you could get them all in no time. As long as the ratio of achievement tiers to skins is low enough that you wouldn't need to necessarily go for a ton that you don't want in order to get the top tier, I'm all for it.
When I've made this suggestion I limited it to having 10 skins because I didn't want people to get ALL of the skins, and I don't think it would even be possible to get all the zombie skins, if they keep releasing new ones every year and can get only 3-4 a year. My idea was just a fun way to reward people for taking part in activities and I believe staff said there would be other ways to get skins too like the sbq/fireside achievement, zapper skins and maybe something else in the future, so people shouldn't feel forced to go after all the zombie skins.
Yeah, I'd love to see this achievement as long as the tiers were kept low-end :)
