I would rather see something like more content, or more updates, than this.

I agree that some people might ruin it for others by screwing over the team just for that precious achievment. Fun idea..but /notsigned.

Sindy · Aug 20, 2008, 01:34 PM // 13:34

That is a lot of nice work! You obviously put a lot of time into it.

However, I'm still /unsigned. We already have enough titles that are hard to grind and ultimately do nothing. PvE "achievements" at least should confer some kind of benefit IMO to warrant their implementation.

Super lol. These sound more like shouts tbh. Oh and you forgot these:

"Does this attire make me look fat?"
"These are my hexes. Let me show you them." (any Healbot fans will get this one :P.)

And my personal favourite:
"My skillbar brings all the boys to the yard."

owever I am going to /notsign because I don't want something people can just go I got this and you don't so you are a big fat noob.

There's no way for anyone to see what you've unlocked...so.......no?

I like the suggestion, but from my experiences in Team Fortress 2 which implements this system for the purpose of getting new (rigged) weapons, I have to say /notsigned

TF2 has achievement servers you can join so that people don't go around screwing up actual games and wrecking everyone else's fun. I foresee many people joining PvE/PvP parties and essentially griefing for the sake of their achievements.

Loved the list though, a lot of the names were great

Just a couple of the mesmer ones would keep me going for awhile

You could have read the Opening Post's premise in its entirety or really closely at least before saying not signed...

1 - There is absolutely no benefits. (I even made sure to stress this like five times!)

2 - That isn't even possible in this game because you can just leave and go get a new part instantly. And what achievements are you going to grief with?

They are just things (extra one time goals) to do. They don't give you anything. No one else can see what you've achieved (to prevent elitism). Just you. I specifically made sure to make it impossible to grief people, as 99.9% of these are things that'll happen during normal gameplay...eventually. The few oddball ones take like 0.5 seconds to do and can be done by yourself generally.

Again, thanks for the comments everyone!

though, the 100 skill points on a pvp character are almost impossible, i know somone that has 20 skill points but hes top 10 Hb and played over 500 hours on his sin.

MithranArkanere · Aug 20, 2008, 03:44 PM // 15:44

We have an achievement system:
- HoM Honor Statues.
So if something has to be really added, is a way to show others your statues... and some more statues.

Bugman103192 · Aug 20, 2008, 03:50 PM // 15:50

Omg, this is what ive always wanted. I love going for achievements with friends and such on Xbox. IF guildwars had this, i would fall back in love with it.

Zahr Dalsk · Aug 20, 2008, 04:16 PM // 16:16

**** achievements, **** titles, and **** anything like them.

A. I'd hate for RA to turn into Halo 3 Lone Wolves ("Hai guiz! Can u halp me with achievementz?!")

B. It's too late in the game to implement anything big like this

C. Just because it works on XBL and TF2 (and PSN's 'trophies') doesn't mean it will translate seamlessly to Guild Wars.

/signed , love the idea

RockmanHero · Aug 20, 2008, 04:57 PM // 16:57

I thought that titles and the hall of monuments was for this specific purpose, but achievements is always a good thing. Adding achievements and goals is always a yes in my book.

Lishy · Aug 20, 2008, 05:39 PM // 17:39

I like this idea. But GW already has titles.
I definitly want this in GW2 though :P

/signed

Wootooo, killing 3 enemies at the same time with a scythe :P

JupiterStarWarrior · Aug 20, 2008, 08:14 PM // 20:14

Wasn't there a thread like this already?

As I stated in that one, I don't like achievements when it was implemented on the 360, and I certainly don't like them now. Why? Because there's no reward for doing it except for bragging rights.

I am heavily reminded of a Red vs Blue PSA that was shown recently...

*pictures Caboose in Guild Wars (although much different), going "Beep-boop" after reaching Lion's Arch and a popup stating "Achievement unlocked: Reached Lion's Arch", but said popup is obviously poorly drawn*

So when something gets nerfed and it still supports an old gimick that doesn't work, what do you do then?

A few that made me say wtf ;P

*Most Valuable Monk: Heal 1,000,000 points of damage.

That made me lol for all the prot monks out there.

*Energy Storage is...: Have 100 or more max energy.
*Not energy management!: While your max energy is 100 or more, hit 0 energy.

Yay promoting bad players. I can see it now. "But I wanna get that achievement!" /kick

*Energy Conservation (PvP): Play a whole PvP match where your energy bar never drops below 50%.

Rend, pleak, bad players.

*Attack Them While They are Down... (PvP): Hit an enemy with a Hammer attack, and then kill them with a dagger attack.

lol Backbreaker sins.

Hmm...I completely forgot about GW's enlightened population. Yeah, it just wouldn't work because the kids need their blue ribbons.

Dr.Jones · Aug 20, 2008, 08:54 PM // 20:54

no thanks, i would like to know more stats about my ch, but i don't need a achievement system to tell me or show me those stats. also this is just another way for you to ask for more titles.

HawkofStorms · Aug 20, 2008, 09:58 PM // 21:58

While I don't like the specifics of a lot of these (many are way to easy to get, or just require doing "bad" things), it is a novel idea.

I'm kinda on the fence on this thread. While it is a creative idea, I really don't see how this "improves" anything in GW.
