Can you tell us which ones you are adding, before you go ahead and do it? Even the top ones have awful english that doesn't make sense. "Earn a total of over 100 points gained by working in a squad." 100 points in a squad or individual? "Have 4 skills learned at the same time." What the fuck is this. Once you choose the ones you like you can go over it with the community to make sure you don't have a bunch of retarded achivements that you regret adding.
I probably wont have internet the next few days except on the phone or library, so no achievements the next few days.
To become a veteran you should have to do some kind of 'kill a person with the veteran achievement X times' Then hand out the veteran achievement to devs (if we actually gave it to vets the list would be ridiculously long and we'd miss so many people.) and leti t progress from there.
Viral achievements are pretty terrible. Also, any definition of "veteran" that could potentially include alucard is invalid.
Just going to put up my opinion , don't rage. I don't care at all for achievements , all i care for is that you don't lag the game up by making the client listen for some of these ridiculous suggestions in real-time. Stuff like completing the tutorial, having most score, winning games is fine with me.
I'm not suggesting it will have any noticeable impact on performance. Just that I don't care at all about them, so I don't want my processor constantly checking if I've gained one , like every-time I destroy an APC, checking to see if it has more than 5 people. Thats assuming they're client-side.
The only achievements we need are achievements that teach gameplay elements to new players. Few examples: - As an Engineer construct a refinery when your squad leader or commander places a "Guard" order on it. - Kill 10 hostiles with the HMG while being prone. - Sticky stun an occupied hostile vehicle. - When a teammate asks for a medic, heal him to 100% health.
This. Imo achievement whoring kills the game, even one player who is not playing seriously because he is dicking around trying to do some lulzy achievement is too much. ie. "kill 25people with melee in one round." Team loses many tickets and possibly the whole round if 1+ persons were only attacking at enemy entrechments with their fists. If achievements somehow affect your gameplay then it's bad. Remember when g4tc server had stats? We had few rounds were couple of guys were just whoring heal/revive points, so they could get a higher rank on the rank page. Thus not contributing to the teams ability to win => griefing. End of rant.
Well achievements like "kill 3 units with one mortar" are awesome though, I mean, you are achieving something, we can't just have these sissy newb-teaching achievements.
