ya, now thats a nice and long list of achievements! the longer, the better. but i like pirate king for aom better! after all who doesnt want to be king of pirates?

im always dissapointed when i get all the achievements for a game on the 360 so i like nice long lists!

Coleman · Post by **Coleman** » Fri Nov 09, 2007 8:20 pm

The interesting thing about this is that if someone was crazy enough to want all the achievements they would need to play every map at least 50 times to get them, probably much more than that. Assuming an achievement per map is cool with lack.

I'm still holding out for a purely pirate themed map, so Merchant is going to stay unless someone has a better title then that, which I hope they do.

Aerial Attack · Post by **Aerial Attack** » Fri Nov 09, 2007 9:21 pm

Plagiarist for Midkemia - that's pretty cold !!

As for Merchants - DiM wanted Guild Master or such for the tournament he tried to run on it.

For other soon to be quenched map ...

Rock Star for Madness
Harbor Master for Puget Sound
Realm Uniter for Age of Realms
Space Commander for Solar System (and Space) (and Galactic Conquest/Spaceness if they get quenched)
Arcade King (or Quarter Master) for Conquer Man
Bracket Buster for Conquer Club Bracket

Coleman · Post by **Coleman** » Fri Nov 09, 2007 10:10 pm

Those are all 1000 times better than what I came up with for most of these, so if you wanted to try your hand at currently quenched maps, that would be awesome.

Stone cold killer -> Kill 5 people in one game.
Beat the best -> Win a game against the current Conqueror
Punching above your weight -> Win several(?) games that glean more than 50 points per player.
Leon -> Win 50 assassin games (Name may be trademarked - change to "Cleaner" or "Hitman" if necessary)
Conqueror -> Be the Conqueror for an hour.
Deadbeat -> Deadbeat in more than 10 games (i.e. this would serve as a warning!)
Bureau de change -> Cash in more than 3(maybe 4) sets of cards in one turn
Rampage/Gouranga/Berserker -> Kill 3(maybe 4) or more people in one turn!
Mute -> Play 50 games where you don't say anything in the chat (i.e. this would also serve as a warning!)

Should be "Rincewind"

What about master of ..... board, for each board, for those who have won a lot of one board.

Another idea might be something to encourage folks to play, be a bit more tolerant of newbies. It would take thought to not be "lame"... maybe let newbies vote or rate the first 5 players they play. (though you might have to offer them some small reward in exchange to get them to actually vote .. perhaps a free speed game for non-premium, maybe a lottery for a free month or even just a free week for premium).

i take it these will go on the to do list?

it would be great if there were even more! im sure we can find some

Perfection: win a triples game without losing a team member

Double kill: kill 2 players in a game

Triple kill: kill 3 players in a game

etc

(cant think of a good name): kill all 5 opponents in a 6 player terminator game

theres lots of stuff we can do and like on the 360 you can add more with each game type/map added
i'm sure those 3 would cause a copyright issue with Halo 3 buddy
And Halo 2

Microsoft can't copyright the terms "Double Kill" "Triple Kill" etc. That's been being used for FPS for a long time. Just never really IN an FPS.

insomniacdude · Post by **insomniacdude** » Sat Nov 10, 2007 3:27 pm

Ok, finished reading the thread. I gotta say that the idea of achievements is phenomenal. On the XBox 360, it's a brilliant way of having people go back to play a game they might not normally. More importantly, it encourages them to do something with the game they might not normally. CC Achievements might do the same. It would encourage the achievement whores to try maps or gametypes they normally wouldn't.

I fully support this addition in as little time as it takes to get it up (within reason, obviously

).

As for new ideas, we have tons of greats ideas already. In fact, they are so consistantly good that I don't think any one fo them shouldn't be included.

Herakilla · Post by **Herakilla** » Sat Nov 10, 2007 7:06 pm

change the double kill and stuff to how many players you eliminated in a single TURN, makes it harder to get

Coleman · Post by **Coleman** » Sat Nov 10, 2007 7:50 pm

Update

Changed Disk Jockey to Rincewind
Removed Master Assassin
Made Night Vision and Ninja of the Night harder to achieve

Added...
Stone Cold Killer (Decided Terminator Only)
Beat The Best
Hitman (Win 50 Assassin Games)
Conquerer (No Time Limit)
Casher (Cash in 3 sets in one turn [hard enough])
Double Kill (Kill 2 Players In One Turn)
Triple Kill (Kill 3 Players In One Turn)
Thrill Kill (Kill 4 Players In One Turn) [Classic Playstation Reference (Should be fine copyright wise)]
Running Riot (Kill 5 Players In One Turn)
I Hate Poker (Win 100 No Cards Games)

Did not add...
Punching Above Your Weight (Encourages Bad Play [Making yourself weak by purposefully losing to achieve, in halo we call it boosting])
Deadbeat (Same problem)
Mute (I want to leave chatbox out of achievements, could negatively effect play)
Achievement for commenting (Encourages leaving comments for no reason, something we frown upon)

In general there are people that would view 'negative' achievements as trophies. So I want to avoid that.

If we did negative achievements I would want to call them scars, and getting a certain amount of them should cause consequences. They should be on their own page, and they should have very small graphics that show on your icon in an overlap so people know something is off about you right away.

DiM · Post by **DiM** » Sat Nov 10, 2007 8:22 pm

i love these.

btw. guild master sounds perfect for AoM

as for AoR there have to be 3 separate titles so i suggest
Mighty King for the first chapter since is Age of Might and the goal is to become the king.

Bad Speler · Post by **Bad Speler** » Sat Nov 10, 2007 8:24 pm

Maybe the highest rank ever achieved could be displayed on the achievements page?

That's up to lack. That would be great I think. We could throw it in. All I listed specifically is Conquerer right now. I think this might encourage people who have hit Conquerer to let themselves go and play for fun more, but who knows.

I'm interested in seeing what is possible and what volume of these lack wants to have and what categories.

I think the map specific ones are a great idea because it would make all the maps see more play. I also think the game type specific ones are good for the same reason.

dcowboys055 · Post by **dcowboys055** » Sat Nov 10, 2007 9:32 pm

Good idea coleman! Add something into the achievement list for winning public games

Maybe we can get some more high ranks to play public.

edbeard · Post by **edbeard** » Sat Nov 10, 2007 9:36 pm

you could have something for the person that has the most wins on a specific map

Master of <Insert Map Name>

or some better sounding name

Stoney229 · Post by **Stoney229** » Sat Nov 10, 2007 10:41 pm

Warmonger- playing in over x number of games at one time

Napolean- Winning x number of games in a row.

I GOT SERVED · Post by **I GOT SERVED** » Sat Nov 10, 2007 11:09 pm

I absolutely love this idea. And here's a few of my own ideas:

Lucky You - conquer a territory when the defender has 10+ more armies than the attacking force

Also, a question:

-Would these awards only start counting once they were implemented? Or would all of my previous wins be counted?

That is very easy to do if you have enough armies. The odds favor the attacker once you get up to about 80 vs 90 or more.

the odds favor the attacker almost as long as the attacker can roll 3 dies even after losing a bunch

Coleman · Post by **Coleman** » Sun Nov 11, 2007 1:07 am

Alright, I've added some, but I didn't pay enough attention to do a nice update thingy.

I know the Master of might be hard to code. The system would probably need to evaluate the entire database (if there is one, I assume so or I don't know how lack would do this) after every completed game. Which would be insane. I'm sure there may be an economical way to code it though...

I'm in favor of achievements that theoretically everyone could do at one point. Not so much the only one person has at a time kind, or ones that can disappear once you have them, except scars.

NOTE: I didn't put this on the first page, but if a deadbeater redeems themselves by playing through completely in private games they can self remove that scar. There may be a slight potential for abuse in that, but oh well. I'm just making this up as I go and I'm sure lack will change everything to what works best in the end anyways.
