Couldnt care less about Achievements. I've always hated how the game scene processes about achievements and stuff (Hello CoD4) but oh well, guess some things you just have to accept

As long as it doesn't influence the gameplay, I just think its a fun variation

I do agree that there are a lot of changes that could be done... like making achivements for more competitive level of playing and giving more points to harder achivevements etc.
Not really a big deal to me though^^

i like the nuclear launch detected achievement

u get it for killing X amounts of units with a nuke.Bottom like is that some are cool, but most of them are useless.

I like the achievements. Personally, I prefer not to know what they are. I'm always amused when I do something random and the window comes up, and I have to look back later to see what the achievement actually was.

Blizzard should have a set of secret achievements that aren't listed until you earn them.

If you notice the Achievements are designed for newer players by and large, to lure them into the game. The Exploration achievements lure you into playing against the AI, then you start going for the AI ones, the Team ones, and finally the 1v1 ones.

It's something Blizzard have mentioned in a lot of interviews, how most new players will move from the Campaign > AI > Co-op vs AI > 4v4 > 3v3 > 2v2 > 1v1 - 1v1 being the most 'high pressure' as your own mistakes become so much more notable.

That and I loved Warcraft 3's system, with various icons for playing certain races. I want me my Queen of Blades :D

the new achievements are exactly what they should be: funny rewards for new starcraft 2 players. many of them will improve an aspect of your gameplay if you are a newb.

I believe they put this achievement in before they nerfed NP. It seems close to impossible to do it now.

Actually it's way too easy to do, since you mc a probe, and u only need to click "b" "n" to build a nexus takes you 2 seconds, then you can leave the probe alone... After nexus is ready just build a probe pylon warpgate and get your zerglot

I think achievements are fairly pointless but hey, if people are whining about achievements the game itself gotta be freaking awesome at this point. Good sign imo.

Very good logic process: you are right, the game is incredibly good, I love it.

i cant get the warp in twilight council achievement!!

the zealot push one is actually kind of hard you need to pull off a perfect 5 zealot push.

I got the psi storm one too though ill admit i waited until i was playing a total noob and expanded all over the map, contained him and screwed around with his bioball with templars

Hm, just noticed something. It seems like wins as random might count towards wins as whatever you were playing as well.

They're fun and harmless.

I'd like to see some more interesting ones though. The comp ones are decent, but feel a bit dumb because the AI is unrealistic hehe.

Achievements are like pokemons, some idiots try to collect them all - the rest of the world doesn't give a shit.

I think there should be a way to turn off those annoying achievement messages that pop up every time I build a zealot or cancel a building. Even watch a replay.

Here's what I think: achievements are for dumb wow kids and serve as a carrot-on-a-stick for people not interested in playing the competitive game, but who still stick around for completion sake.

A *real* achievement (like defeating Tester in a 1v1 or any other high caliber player) is usually noticed outside the game without a flashy pop-up stuff coming up.

Hated them in WoW, hate them also in here... but hey... when they pop up, kids get off, so I guess they're here to stay.

well, i dont need them at all. But if some people like them, i`m fine with it. the least thing that should be fixed is the time when the achievements pop up to your screen. how stupid is it when u are in the middle of a fight (dont matter if in bnet, zotac cup or WCG) and the pop up is distracting u. it would be enough when the acievements apear at the scores screen after the match.
