Midnight9746 While you believe the idea was good and the implementation was flawed, I think the core concept itself also had problems.
Even though the system was meant to increase player motivation, its role significantly overlapped with existing rewards like badges, trackers, and weapon mastery. In short, the reason for it having to be an Accolades system was weak.
I believe its unpopularity was caused by more than just the annoying sound notifications.
Every time the developers introduce a new system, I want to ask them. Why are you implementing this system? Why does it have to be this method?
