I think it sucks

First, there are too many achievements against AI
People expected to get different achievement from "players level" not the "AI level"
Repeating all the same achievement with different AI level doesn't sound fun to me.

Second, some of the achievement, like 20 kills with yamato cannon, 30 kills with infested terran, cannot happen when the same level players play "normally"
To make it happen, one of the player must be ridiculously bad or good. or both players agree to give each other achievements...

I would say they should count those achievements over all games, not one game.
woo sorry about my awful english there, so what I'm trying to say is, instead of making it "20 yamato kills in 1 game", make it "50 yamato kills with your account." you get it??
so whenever you shoot the yamato cannon, it records on your account and you get the achievement when you shoot 50 of them that is more realistic and more like "achievement"

Third, why all the achievements are 10 points or 20 points????? give 30, or 50 points for more difficult one!!!!!!!


what you guys think?? :p

I wish I could turn off achievements. I couldn't give a rat's ass about points and icons. The midgame pop-up notices just annoy me.

It's annoying getting them in the middle of a game, that's my only opinion on achievements

I think it's more of an Achievement to kill 30 in 1 game, than killing 50 over the next 12 years.

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.

I really think that while some players will go into a game trying to get a specific achievement, the majority of the better players will play the game as normal and get an "Oh Cool!" feeling when something unlocks. There are a lot of things that will eventually happen in your games (Since you have to WIN 1k for certain portraits.)

I think that is a good thing making the achievements more of a long term goal.

Why do you think like that, achievement is one part of the game, and i'm saying it sucks.

I think they are good to have for the people that enjoy getting them. For people don't care so much, it doesn't effect them. So it all works out.

I think they're pretty fun. I got some for like macroing really well after 20 minutes and I think one for keeping my queen mana below 100 after 20 as well.

Idk where to find them though lol


edit nvm i found them.

The queen one was actually "create 100 larvae with one queen."

And the macro one was to have 21 zerg units morph at the same time.

Oh and I also got one for have an attack last for 20 seconds without a single counterattack.

I'm interested in knowing how it decides whether you've achieved some of these.

I think everyone should aim for getting the 1000 wins for each race by the end of the beta

I'm actually all for that. I can't stand the achievements that need to be done in ranked and league matches. That's complete BS, because then you need to specifically try for some of them which possibly involves throwing games in the name of lolzer points.

my thoughts on achievements is to either remove them completely or give me an option to disable them.

Achievements is something you do when you're bored and don't want to work but none of your friends are on to play so you can't go back to work instead you find a lame excuse to tell yourself as you drain 10 hours of your working time away.

i agree and like your opinion on how to fix it. with that said i'm more interested in just doing well in my ladder rather than unlocking everything

Well screw it I think they're an alright idea.

Yes they're gonna piss us all off as we get the achievement "Purchase Starcraft 2" or some crap, but in time they'll add something to do when bored and some targets to achieve. Whether you care about them or not, as I don't, I don't see how they really have a negative impact.

Also I don't see how you can say how little you care about achievements, and then demand moar points per achievement. It's no e-penis or a huge one?
