I had already added a loading screen tip regarding deaths on HC PvP not counting, but I'll add a couple more for the Sarn Arena and CTF/team PvP.

[Edit] On a semi-related note, another thing to consider is perhaps adding some PvP achievements. We already have a "capture a flag" achievement, but having a few more would help clue people in. Something like:
- Kill 10 people in Sarn Arena
- Win a 1v1 duel
- Kill another player with Cast-on-Death
- etc.

Those examples are relatively simple and easy-to-get, but they let people know that such PvP modes exist. It makes them aware of it, gets them thinking about it, and they are easy enough that people will think "Hey, I can do that!" and then maybe get their feet wet with PvP.

Harder achievements are also possible, of course. Feel free to make suggestions. I'm not very keen for ones like "Win 1000 PvP matches" 'cos that's pretty boring.


Not sure if you saw it in the map thread, but an option to let us select map and seed when challenging would be really great. Maybe a /challenge command where we can optionally set map and seed.
achievement ideas:

-win vs tougher odds 1v2 or 1v3?
-one shot an enemy?
-for sarn arena: reach a certain kill streak without dying? 5-10?
-win a 1v1 without using pots? (pretty sure that more creative restrictions could be made)
-killing blow using a minion: raging spirits/zombies/guardians - anything
-kill an opponent using culling strike

-slow an opponent down by x% (check for strength of temp chains? encourage use of enhance or the new curse nodes)

-kill an enemy with reflected damage (bramblejack/thorns etc, there is this new passive wall of thorns too)
those were just some ideas off the top of my head

Yay loading screens! Some simple achievements are a great idea too. You don't need a lot of them and the simpler, the better. Win a 1v1 duel, sure, sounds good :P

Maybe add some achievement rewards too. Maybe some more people will want to complete achievements at first place then.
Winning isn't everything
Loose 3 matches in a row

Graduate
Win 5 games

Keep it clean
Kill someone with a single attack

I Need a weapon
Kill someone with your fists

You can be my wingman anytime
Kill someone that has been attacked by a teammate

Colonel
Win 25 games

Totally worth it
Kill someone using Cast on Death

Master Exorcist
Win 50 games

Improviser
Attack, switch weapon and sucessfully kill your enemy
It's hard to remember what you have forgotten

Why are police looking for missing people? None of them were missing last time I saw them
I think we need to avoid achievements like

-Kill an enemy in one shot

or

-Win a match without losing a single round

We have to aim for fun achievements, not total domination where players are trying to rekt other newbies just to complete their achievements.
