Achievement Design

Glad that I couldn't care less about achievements. Joining a party... public or private... simply isn't going to happen. I don't let others play the game for me.
Elusive Rhoa - Kill an Albino Rhoa and pick up the Albino Rhoa Feather


Big Catch - Kill Merveil using a Fishing Rod


Merton - Fill an entire screen with Flameblast


Leave no Trace - Clear a map, then clear all the corpses and items


There is no Spoon - Have more mana regenerated per second than your maximum mana.


Healing Factor - Recover from Low Health to full health in (insert reasonably hard timeframe here) without using potions or life steal.


Mirror - Find a mirror


Mirror Mirror - Use a Mirror


DoT of Doom - Kill an enemy without hitting it (even with traps, mines, totems, or minions)


Back to Basics - Kill Merciless Dominus without using only normal attack.


Thorns - Kill a monster using only reflected damage (Bramblejack, Tempest Shield, Thorns effect, etc)


Poke to Death - Land a killing blow on an enemy that does only 1 damage


I'm better than ALL of you!

There is only one way to get me to even look at he achievements tab: Rewards.
Not talking about big rewards. Make it a cheap unique item, low value orb, anything.

Character/Account bound common uniques (or even achievement specific ones!) and currency would be quite nice, these could be divided for each league with ultimate challenge (e.g. completing every challenge) allowing every character to receive skill book free from some NPC (could be given in later difficulties later acts to prevent too much effect on the game). These should never interfere with the game economy (though handing out low level uniques affect it slightly but is no biggie in longer run).
Today I've been mostly harmless.

Why bother making an achievement of full clearing pirate's cave? This is a very boring achievement normally, but for that zone, which is tiny, it is even worse. Having full clear for every zone as an achievement I guess can be interesting, but why add them in 1 at a time, especially considering how boring and small that zone is? Anyone who feels like they've achieved something after getting that achievement has a very low bar for themselves.



So you speak for everyone? For achievement hunters it is not a matter of what it is just that they do it.

You sir are a genius. Great achievements here! Hope to see some of these get into game.

There should definitely be a lot of selffound/iron man achievment as the game itself does not encourage self found play in any way but imo it's the best way (most enjoyable) to play the game as the best experience is still finding an upgrade YOURSELF.

One could also make achievements for playing in a groupd with only selffound players but i guess that would be rather difficult to check so I would start with the following:

Suggestions: (each in hardcore as extra achievement)


Can I do this? -Kill Vaal Merciless solo selffound
Facing the Slam -Kill Vaal Merciless solo selffound only using true melee attacks (e.g. no Spectral Throw)
You can't run now -Kill Piety Merciless solo selffound
Extinct the origin -Kill Dominus Merciless solo selffound

I picked these because i feel they are true challenges for a solo selffound char (really hardcore)

Then for maps i would make achievements for certain mod combination which imo should yield more iiq on the map than just the addition of the 2 mod:

Doing it in slow-mo - Finish a map with temp chains + fleet mod
Doing it in super slow-mo - Finish a map with temp chains + fleet mod + chilled ground
I can not resist - Finish a map with minus max resist and +% elemental damage
Who is boss now? - Finish a map with dual boss + boss damage + fleet
I'de like more stats like how many zombies I've killed, just they don't need to be achievements. I'm not an achievement hunter so it's all fine by me. I like achievements pop up suddenly without really going for though ;)
