The popup is fucking huge, and extremely annoying. There is NO reason I should not be able to turn it off, and there is no reason to defend there not being an option to do so. | ||

I'm not defending it, simply stating its not that annoying in my opinion, I simply move my screen if I can't click behind it. By all means there should be a way to disable the notifications, but I bet we'll see 2-3 more patches after launch before that happens. | ||

I do think that blizzard should handle achievements popups better. There are so many different alternatives for showing achievements: --popups at the end of a match --miniature version of the popup banner in the corner of the screen --option to disable popup notification (I didn't explore the game options menu, so if it's already there, then whatever) Anyways, for no reason should a popup occur on-screen during a match, even if it's not all that bothersome. It is absolutely unacceptable. | ||

Yea sure, realistically no one can really steal my identity by knowing my real name, but that's not the reason is it. | ||

I got the early zerglings, 21 morphing, centennial queen and a couple other in my first game, then the things stopped showing up. | ||

- Some of them require you to play poorly, or to modify your strategy to obtain them in a simple fashion. (Kill 30 units with Yamoto cannon in a single game?.... Okay FFA I suppose.) - Some of them will take you a year to get to actually obtain it in a competitive atmosphere, if you don't cheese them in a game. (See Yamoto cannon spam achievement.) - The window in the game is unnecessary. Why can't it tell you when the game is done that you have an achievement unlocked? (I was going to totally micro my window, but the game just told me I built 9 units at once and now I can't see shit.) - A cool idea would to have the unlock for the offensive achievements show up in chat, but you would have to toggle which ones could show up and when, and which ones shouldn't. (The build x units within the first 250 seconds is not something I want broadcast in my game.) | ||

I felt very proud :D I loled when I got that too  Hopefully they'll give us a way of disabling the pop-ups shortly. | ||

The achievements look pretty good and I actually like collecting them. This said I won't be modifying my play style to seek them - unless im in a late game 4v4/FFA and think hey I have X BC's lets get a few more and try and grab the Y achievement. I also like the idea of a mid-game popup for offensive plays though it surely can be done in a better way than covering a central portion of the screen. When I think of these outstanding issues it really makes me wonder what they playtest internally... | ||

I like achievements, they are funny and rewarding. But if you want pop-ups to be disablable, that might happen if you complain enough. I mean if you want this game to be totally SRS BZNESS GUISE. But in all seriousness I do like them, and if it gets more players into the ladder system and playing SCII longer I'm all for it. | ||

You must admit, it can be intrusive in a high level game, and while they are cute, it doesn't feel like a starcraft thing, it feels like a console. But that makes sense, as Bnet 2.0 was made by the guy who made Xbox live... | ||

... perhaps the Kerrigan portrait could be unlocked faster by constantly 6-pooling? | ||
