do you get anything from the achievements or is it just for shits and giggles?

Oh boy! I can get an achievement for watching a replay!
I can't wait to get it. I'm going to be a beautiful and unique snowflake.

They're fun and something to do when you're bored of laddering.
Exactly what achievements should be.
I like them. :D

the only acheivements I find stupid is the ones that says:

Win X games with this races...

and than you have the acheivement that says....

WIN 1000 games as random, zerg, terran, protoss......


Seriously? how many players will get this acheivement? I mean most of the time you'll take once race and stick with it.... 1000 won games as random?

Not saying it's not doable... just saying it would take QUITE a long time


besides that... I don't think we really care about acheivements... it's a steam/wow thing
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

I think achievements are fine.

The people that care about them can work to get them and enjoy them. The people that don't care can just ignore them and it makes no difference.

You get points which have the same value as they do in "Who's Line is it Anyway?". They aren't redeemable for anything, their values are meaningless, and if you're keeping track of the score I pity you.

It would be cool if it was right.
But i wont like to play silly ladder games just because my opponent is trying to get an awesome useless achievement.

So, Blizzard should stick to A.I/solo achievements, challenge modes achievements and out of game achievements (number of wins, race etc...)
Read to learn.

Just some unnecessary features of the game. If they don't interfere with the game, I don't really care.

You get achievements so easily now, I got one for canceling a building....another for having ...a high enough APM I guess? (Zerg macro master) ....I just think it is annoying to get them so easily, and they don't really have any purpose in an E-Sports point of view at the moment.

Also, as someone said, they shouldn't come up in game..that is really annoying.

With Blizzard achievements, you aren't meant to get all of them. In WarCraft III I've seen people only play one specific thing in ladder for achievements, such as 4v4 random for the 1000 wins portrait. Just play whatever race/mode you want, and let the achievement come to you for bragging rights and an awesome portrait (Although the panda marine portrait is so amazing for something so easy to get).

In my first game of phase 2 I got seven of them. The sheer number of them I saw that game amused me for a brief period. In general? who cares? They don't add much of anything, but they don't make the game worse.
That wasn't any act of God. That was an act of pure human fuckery.

Just have to disable in game notices and it should be good. I like having some achievements that are hard to get like 1000 wins, but 3 in a row? Work,Work or denied achievements are stupid. I also like to unlock portraits just because its a different look to urself when you load the game. This stuff doesn't affect the game, but it makes it a little different.

I got the meatgrinder achievement in my second game, thought it was kinda cool. (Destroy 50 supply in 20 seconds (i'm not sure on the exact number))

That's the kind of achievement you want to appear as it happens, cause then you're like "HAH owned."

A lot of the achievements are things that good players are going to be doing anyways. It's a good way to almost teach the game to casual players and tell them what they should be trying. (I'm thinking of the fast expand, warp in x army units in x seconds type achievements here)

i love them, i think they are motivation for newbs to try and become better players. Finally everyone will know what macro and micro means. As far as the in game pop ups go. Thats something that i could do without, they are pretty annoying.

Tell me how to stop it from opening in the middle of the screen and I'll be happy.

I have turned off toast notifications but it still comes. Fucking annoying.

On the plus side, it did keep TLO from seeing a turret I was building in his base so I guess yay achievments!

Apparently it tells all of your friends about it too when it happens
