Recently I've been trying out some new games and learning new stuff about the old games. What I found of particular interest were some achievements offered in them.
Game: Savage 2 Achievement: The Harlem Globetrotters Award - 200 win streak Hardcore factor: Practically impossible to achieve.
It's a team based game after all, and as such there are A LOT of things that could go wrong and reset your streak.
Game: Guild Wars Achievement: Legendary Defender of Ascalon - level 20 in pre-searing Ascalon Hardcore factor: Pretty damn hardcore.
Basically, to achieve this you must reach max level in tutorial area. The trick is that there aren't enough quests and biggest mobs found there stop giving you experience after you hit level 16. The only way to do it is by incredibly hard and tedious process called "death leveling" where you die on purpose so that the mobs which killed you get exp and level themselves (it takes a lot of deaths to get a group of mobs to a desired level). If you know what you're doing, you're expert at death leveling and you do this every day, you should be able to get this achievement in about 2 months time...
So, do you know of any other hardcore achievements in other games?
All icons in wc3 is kinda hard. 1500wins x5 = 7500wins if you want to get it for both RoC and TFT that means 15000wins but in TFT you also have tournament icons so thats another 500wins making it a total of 15500wins.
Dont really know if it even counts as achievements but it's kinda hard do manage.

A 200 win streak in a team based game O.o. I can't even fathom how hard that must be. Even if you play with a group of guys against totally random people you still need to do that 200 times in a row. Definitly one of the hardest ones I've heard of and seen. Hardest achievement for myself so far is probably the one in SC2 WoL where you have to get the high score on the viking game (I can't play it for the life of me XD lol).
If I had a mic in Savage 2 beta and only played when my brother was on, I could have gotten that achievement. Too bad the game has changed so much that even if someone did unlock it, it'd be incomparable. These days you should get it by scrimming and stomping noob teams (If they exist, scene might be dead now ).
I can't think of any. I don't really care about achievements.
Click the link to see what you have to do. All I can say is: If you have this achievement/title, you would've spent months grinding... and grinding... and grinding.
I also remember the old Field Marshal/Warlord grind was hardcore.

I dont think insane in the membrane is a hardcore achievement in WoW. For me a hardcore achievement in WoW is to do what a European guy did. get all the achievements done. But now with new patches and content it wouldnt matter but Im sure he will be 1st again.

It certainly is the "you got no life" achievement.

I think that it's the single most time consuming achievement to get in the single most time consuming game in the world right now. Call that hardcore if you want
It's the equivalent of getting solo zen master on five different accounts, but much less entertaining.
It's like farming high runes in the cow level in diablo 2 until you have an inventory full.
Upon its introduction into Final Fantasy XI, an entire party of players marathon fighting Pandemonium Warden for 18 hours were unable to defeat it. They were forced to retire after members of the party started to become physically ill
I'm pretty sure it's the Defeat-Flash-In-A-No-Rush-15-min-Game achievement.
Seriously though, minimum-level-possible Magus run in Chrono Trigger was one of the most insane things I've done. You'd never think a turn-based RPG would take 150+ APM.
Oh right, in SSBM training mode inverse drill-shine infinite combo with fastfalls from 0% to 999% with Fox against Samus. Technically it's entirely possible, but I'm pretty certain that no one has ever been able to do it. Seeing that it only takes a few minutes, you can see that it's quite difficult.

i think we are talking about achievements that were actually meant to be done.
as for 150APM im pretty sure that even on active that is not necessary. its more about making fast decisions and quick bursts of a couple actions. then again ive never tried it.
