Achievement Design

Detect the difficulty a player is having first time through _only_ and teach them exactly what they are doing wrong killing a boss _or_ make that boss a whole lot easier to kill. Then if they are still so gung-ho to replaying the game Cruel or worse they are on their own. Give 'em (me) an achievement if an 'easy' boss kill is used.
~<Ratsneve>~~<Looking for Simple Solo Solutions>~
PvP Achievements

Get 3 kills in a single round.

1 shot another player.

Win a match without taking damage.

Win a round in under 10 seconds.

The list goes on.....
Boss Achievements (aside from defeat x)
Brutus: Avoid the chain the entire fight.
Vaal Oversoul: Don't get lazered
Piety: Deny her transformations

Random Achievements
Regenerator: Take twice your max health+ES in damage within 6 seconds and survive
Edge of Death: Take your max health+ES in damage whilst under 35% combined max ES+Health
Bullet Hell: Have more than 30 projectiles out at once.
Fabulous: Have 8 auras on at once

I would like to see more milestones and things like elite mob kills personally.

Joke Achievement
I was never on your side: While in a party of 6, side with the bandit and kill all 5 of your party members. (Hardcore only)
I was never on your side either!: Kill said bandit after killing your party.
Facebreaker Kill Hillock on each difficulty using only your fists.

my ideas for achievements:

social - "join a guild"
these rhoas again - "die to a rhoa charge"
is this even a build? - "have 1 hp and 0 es simultaneously"
sturdy - "reach 50k (or any other number) armour"
businessman - "complete a trade with another player"
still alive, are we? - "lower the hp of piety in the crematorium to the lowest possible"
lucky day - "find a 5link or higher on the vendor"
so, about that fish.. - "find a fishing rod"




No achievements where you have to die to complete it. If you died you didn't achieve anything. You ffffed up.


Actually these achievements are grade A and dying would be standard viable so it still counts, + it's really funny.
I got some nice ones:

Make her pay: One-Shot Piety in cruel difficulty.
Say what?: One-shot Piety in merciless difficulty.

Do the Kripp: Die to A corpse-exploded Boss on springs map.

Being Octavian Morosan:Stop playing a one-week race although being placed in the top 20 and don't give a f**k.

Head against the wall: Die enough times on scrubcore to have lost over 100% of experience during one level.

Do the flop: Die during the first 10 seconds after grace period on any map.

The All Ears achievement is basically impossible for most people.

It should be to listen to all the NPC dialog period, not just on one character.

Fight the odds: Spend 1000 Orbs of Chance in a row and get no uniques.

Spiky exalts: roll Torns with an exalted in a ilvl75+ item.
