Guild Wars 2

for example: “Monthly Kill Variety: Kill 2 different professions”
I’ve killed at least 200 players this month and this is still at 0. You should really specifically say if an achievement is only for PvP. (I know it’s not a bug – I’m illustrating why the suggestion is needed)
The dailies tend to be a little more clear: “Daily Captures: Help capture a point in a PvP match”, but I would still suggest it should say something like “PvP Daily Captures: Help capture a point in a PvP match” instead.
I’ll point out that WvW-specific achievements should also do this, and they do tend to: “Monthly WvW Player Kills: Kill 50 players in WvW”

I thought the different icons were the clue.

The icons for daily achievements are all the same now. There is no pvp and pve only. They all got lumped together. Confusing at first but I managed to figure it out.

That aren’t the same on my client. Maybe yours has something amiss. =/

The achievements aren’t strictly split up anymore, so writing “PvP:” or “PvE:” in front of them won’t do the trick. For instance, PvP kills count towards Daily (PvE) kills. But WvW kills probably don’t.

I agree that it should be more more obvious, maybe different icons that show PvE, WvW, PvP or a combination of those where applicable would help.

There are different icons for PvP and PvE/WvW. Though, maybe some different ones would be better.

When they’re not on the panel, and are just up on the screen in the ui, it’s really impossible to differentiate… it’d be cool if they were assigned different colors on the ui screen, or if there were a toggle to weight the listed ones toward pvp, pve or wvw. I know I can do that manually, but it would still be better as a default option.

I see it now, but that is really subtle and even if you’re looking for it it’s not immediately obvious which is for where (when looking at all of them). Also, WvW-only and PvE are lumped together into a star.
additional suggestion: make those icons bigger.

I tend to agree that the descriptions could be worded better in some cases.

The overall attempt to “merge” the Achievements should not compromise the clarity of what is required to complete the achievement and while most are quite clear, this is an example of actually NEEDING the term “in a PvP match” in the description.
