Missing Achievements for Returning Player

[SavageHedgehog]

I am a returning player and notice the achievement system. I have a lvl 55 character but no achievement for all the location I discovered, Datacron collected, and lore gathered. Is this a glitch or do I have create a new character and do it all over again.

This is a known bug: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=711526

If you were gone during 2.0 (which introduced the achievement system), you had to login before January 2014 to get the achievements granted, otherwise you now have to redo them.

I got some of the achievements but not all when they introduced the achievement system eventhough I was still playing at the time.

 

Nowdays I think you have to do them all over again if you want them, perhaps they can look into your account if you want a specific achievement but I do not think they will look for them all.

Well the achievements nobody was retrospectively granted were the "kill xx of something" because types of kills were simply never tracked.

I think I'd say that if you remove the killing a set number achievements, then I was granted around 90% of the ones I should have been.

I'm a bit of an achievement hunter - wish we could get leaderboards on the website so we can see how we compare etc.

There is a thread about that for those that wants to show how many points they got. I belong there but prefer to not have it public, infact I have suggested a while back to be able to hide achievements. I like to collect the points but I do it for me and me alone
