Well strangely enough I just got the Hot Shot achivement on my first game of 3v3 in the Platinum league. My original placement was Silver in 3v3 with 3W/2L and I worked my way to Platinum.

I was placed in silver yesterday in case anyone was wondering (it's a new account on the NA server, previously was on SEA).

So I dunno, maybe there's still a chance...
I return to serve

I will never understand this achievement craze that games impart on people. It is funny that once a new achievement comes out people blow up and go crazy about the fact that they don't have it. Does any one actually look at other peoples achievements? I feel that players just look at their own.

I want them to create the "play 1500 games without earning any achievement" achievement.

They should also have an easier one that's "Play 1000 games without earning any achievement." Wow, my mind just got blown

Hey guys so its pretty obvoius this thing is still bugged. My question to all of you is has Blizzard ever even commented on the Hot Shot achievement. Threads made about it seem to go by unnoticed.

Also has anyone contacted customer support regarding this? What did they say?

Not confirmed but I assume making a new team with a friend and winning all those placement matches would work.

Anyway there still appears to be a problem its not appearing for some people who should be getting it and randomly being awarded to some people who didnt win all there placement matchs.


Yeah none of my placements were 5-0 and i got the achievement randomly while playing campaign today lol

But yeah, achievements give something for time invested. Its like icons. Is someone better with a Tassadar or a probe? You dont know, because icons dont mean skill. But they look awesome and I can assure you, people will look twice at you if you have a rare icon.

I had an Illidan in wc3, and not a day would go by where someone wouldn't comment on it.

It reminds me of Runescape haha. You spend 4 hours a day for 6 months cutting a tree, and then you get a skillcape. And people say, nice 99wc or nice cape, but if that's what makes people happy let it be. I myself get achievements because I want to complete the game. I don't like freestyling stuff when Im not done. So will I get 700 custom wins before I ladder? Yes. Will I get 800 FFA wins before I ladder seriously? Most likely. Most people think that's insane and stupid, but it makes the game good for me. Not to say I don't take a break every now and then to play with friends.

maybe cause it's not a big deal and it's not even worth any points
customer support doesn't deal with things like this, they only deal with problems with your account, or your game not working

I've never gone 5-0 and i have this achievement. Maybe you can get it by winning 5 placements in a row.

I got it after going 4-1 in placements.

Along with reports from friends, I can think of nothing that explains the behavior of this achievement. I'm guessing its bugged.

I have never cared about achievements in any other game before... but since SC2 is going to be a game I'm sticking with for a very long time, I decided what the heck, this will be my one time to experience achievement chasing.

It was a little more fun that I expected it would be, it's interesting to take on the variety of challenges and figure out the best way to accomplish the most difficult tasks. I know it's silly but I do get some feeling of accomplishment from pulling off tasks like 20 ghost snipe kills in a league game.

I'll be damned if I'm going to sit there and play for countless hours, just farming wins against the computer... and it's mind-boggling to me that there are achievements for farming hundreds of wins against the computer in 2v2 and 3v3 teams. Does anyone even do this?

I mean, I'm sure some people will do it because it's an achievement... but aside from that, does anyone sit there with two friends and team up against 3 computers all night long?

I'll be honest, I am slightly proud of my 3250 achievement score. I do check other people's profiles and notice their scores. I've noticed all of the serious players have low scores and tons of horrible players have high scores... haha.

I also checked the profile of a couple of serious achievement chasers who posted in achievement threads on here... one guy had something like 3920, which made me feel a little less proud of my score... which helped to remind me how utterly silly and pointless all of this stuff is.

But I think it's OK for a game you really love.

i beat all the custom game achievements while on the phone, and i watch sc2 streams/tv/talk to people/whatever while getting the coop achievements. since i already finished insane wins before patch 1.1, its even easier to not pay attention on medium.

now i dont have to time to pound out 20 coop games while watching a movie, but i can still win a 2vAI as a break between assignments, whereas laddering would definitely not be possible.

also, playing against medium can be a good way to practice apm/multitasking/general macro without having to think of in depth strategy and wondering what your opponent is doing, but i only do that with IRL friends who prefer playing ai instead of team ladder as it is a little boring

I agree with vicarious cheese. Nothing like many hours of repetious griniding to make macroing and hotkeying second nature. I dont even notice myself going back to base for workers/chronoboost anymore.
