Do you want more PvP achievements?

P/S: I will throw in some examples of new PvP achievements if people are interested.

And, thanks Jonathan Sharp!

JonathanSharp.7094:

We also agree that we need more PvP achievements. I can’t give any details (I’m sorry I have to say that so much), but this is something we’re seriously looking at internally.

Also some great suggestions in this thread, thanks for keeping it positive and brainstorming ways to improve this system!!!

link here:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/pvp/Survey-Do-you-want-more-PvP-achievements/2425206

In all fairness of Arenanet puking out garbage that this is somehow a PvP oriented game, I would say yes, PvP definitely deserves more achievements than the current ridiculously drawn out “achievements” we have.

What’s the best way to prolong the life of limited content? GIVE IT A KOREAN-TYPE GRIND! See Priston Tale.

This game’s sPvP rank / achievements is quite literally a Korean grindfest, comparatively speaking.

all right thanks for the feedback!
i will now give some examples of new PvP achievements!

Arcing Slicer:
10 kills with Arcing Slice.
20 kills with Arcing Slice.
50 kills with Arcing Slice.
100 kills with Arcing Slice.
…
1,000 kills with Arcing Slice.

Hundred Blader:
10 kills with Hundred Blades
…
1,000 kills with Hundred Blades

etc

hmmm not sure if this is track-able or not since weapon skills only down enemies and not finishes them off …

maybe if can track the last hit / damage / attack using the said skill that downed the target or something. then we can have soooo many more PvP achievements.

Yes. Achievements for three-capping multiple times, capturing however many points, and close matches (500-490 score) are some of the few ideas I’ve had.

They also need way more dungeon achievements for completing dungeons in special ways.

Tracking on down rather than kill in sPvP seems more viable considering the technology is already there to track what exactly downed the player. And then, considering rallies & revives, this could make grinding the achievements faster and better for sPvPers.

Hell they could at least cross that over to some of the achievements in game now. “Kills with so-and-so weapon type” but use downs based on that in sPvP, to build towards it since killing a player is much different than regular AI as they have no downstate.

Then when players have incentive to start grinding out another weapon type, this might actually promote at least a small amount of ‘build diversity’ as people may want to get more points using different weapons, and in turn use more weapon sets which may promote more builds being used.

Granted that’s all theory … it’s still taking a step, even if baby steps, IMO.

Lopez.7369:

Yes.

They also need way more dungeon achievements for completing dungeons in special ways.

I think you’re in the wrong forum bro. I know what you said actually applies to this thread … but dungeon =/= sPvP.

Lopez.7369:

Yes. Achievements for three-capping multiple times, capturing however many points, and close matches (500-490 score) are some of the few ideas I’ve had.

hmmm aye, good examples!
keep ’em coming!

hmmm we need lots of names for them new achievements.

…

10 downs with Hundred Blades
…
1,000 downs with Hundred Blades

In all fairness they did have more achievements. It was with the daily, however people whined about it so now its back to the original 5.
The dailies that had were a little bit harder but there was 6-8 of different paths to chose to complete it with.

People whined and that’s that. But I was totally happy with more achievements.

have more but ye

We definitly need more achievement point in PvP, especially since you can earn reward with them. I mean in this game if your an hardcore PvE player you get everything : the gold, the gems, achievements points, some spvp skins, stuff for WvW …
If you re an hadcore spvp player you don t even have acess to all spvp skins, you got nothing for WvW, you need to sell dies to get a little gold, no more ways to get gems, and very limited way to get achievement point.
I think we defenitly need a rework in pvp reward

^ aye nice examples there Romek!

yeah, there should be more “fun” achievements, like those in team fortress 2
http://steamcommunity.com/stats/TF2/achievements/

and introduce nemesis too!
http://tf2wiki.net/wiki/Nemesis

Any player that kills you three times during a match without you killing them in turn or assisting in their death becomes your Nemesis, the event of which is accompanied by a distinct sound cue. The opposing player will see this as a Domination against you. When a player becomes your nemesis, they sport a distinct icon above their head which allows you to identify them

and … we can recycle some tf2 achievements as well …

Swift Runner
Run N distance with Swiftness boon.

Die Hard
Take 100,000 points of damage in a single life.

Rampager
Get five kills in a row without dying.

Camp Fire
Kill 3 enemies in a row without dying, all within the same area.

Flamethrower
Set 5 enemies on fire within 30 seconds.

Second Degree Burn
Burn a burning enemy to death who was ignited by another player.

Kormir
In a single life, get stunned, dazed, knocked back, knocked down, launched, blinded.

etc

aye, we need more people to voice out, give examples perhaps.

some more examples:

Portal Slayer
Kill an enemy within 10 seconds of you traveling through an Mesmer’s portal.

Automated Justice
Have your turrets the enemy that just downed you within 10 seconds.

Shoot the Breeze
Down a stealth enemy in a single hit

You Only Shiv Thrice
Backstab 3 enemies within 10 seconds.

Vanguard Party
Be the first on your team to start capturing a point in a round.

etc

Why not . . . However this won’t give a real incentive to play pvp, because you can be rewarded 10 times more in PvE, with 10 times less effort.

Empathetic Fighter.2065:

Why not . . . However this won’t give a real incentive to play pvp, because you can be rewarded 10 times more in PvE, with 10 times less effort.

well, at least people who play PvP only can have a better chance to earn more achievement points.

Pub Stomp
Play in the same team with 5 or more players from your Friends list

Guild Stomp
Play in the same team with 5 or more players from your Guild.

Deputized
Get 10 kills with another Engineer where a turret was involved in the kill.

etc

@Emphatic Fighter

But pve isnt fun and i dont bore me to death just for rewards^^

Romek.4201:

@Emphatic Fighter

But pve isnt fun and i dont bore me to death just for rewards^^

Well, that’s your opinion. For myself, I’m doing a break of PvP because it is too stale and the hype is allrdy gone anyway. So I changed to PvE and was quiet amused by the variety and the reward/progression.
However, the fact that PvP got so boring that I had to leave it for PvE is just sad. I mean I hated PvE just for it’s core principe of fighting against NPCS. So I want to thank A-Net for this experience . . .

did everything in pve but still its boring

and this here is the spvp forum and its bout pvp and the suggestion is for pvp so plz – just stop – you will not convert anyone to pve for posting this in a lot threads ( saw same thing posted from you atleast in 2-3 threads more)
just relax – when dont like spvp anymore have fun in pve

First of all you should say: I think/find PvE boring, because that’s your personal opinion. Second thing, I didn’t speak about PvE rather than I just compared these two modes with each other in terms of Achievements. Therefore it is on topic. Third I’m relaxed all the time. I just don’t like when some random guy comes in and brings my post in another context as they were stated.

i see^^ its a waste of time so again move on have fun and do whatever you want

Yes.

Win a match 500-0
Win a match 500-499

Sure… why not? With all the achievement point rewards now. Maybe something that counts how many times you played/won a map? (Similar to the how many times you played with a classe and won with a class)

There are a few problems with pvp achievements.

Flow of the Game
One is, that they can really, I mean really disturb the flow of the game!

For those who played wow, just remember the holiday events, where there was an pvp achievement part of it. (f.e. "School of Hard Knocks). That was temporary content every pve player wanted to have, without playing pvp, resulting in base trading and insults, when you play the game normally, and don’t help them getting the achievements. I already encountered different people during the crab toss suggesting win trading.

Fun, Timeconsuming and Challenge
An achievement should also be fun and hard to get. We already have time consuming achievements in pvp (the titles), we need more challenging achievements like “Faster Than Light” and “Personal Space”. Achievements should be challenging to get, and if you don’t put into them a lot of focus, you shouldn’t be able to get them all.

Over-time-achievements like kill X people with Y or on point Z are just not fun. Would you work towards it to get them, or just play normal the game, and wait until you have them? When then even bother to have them? Just for more achievement points? I would like to have some of them, but not too many, and some which points people towards the right direction f.e. revive people from the down state.

Bypassing
There is also the question, where you should be able to get those achievements. What’s with tpvp, custom arenas, arena where you are just playing against your friend?
Suggestion: Only grant the achievements, when on the arena there have once played eight people at any given time through the match. There don’t have to be a full match at the start or the end, just an high amount of players playing once during the match. The Achievements are then granted at the end of the match, where it’s checked if the conditions have been matched.

Arena net need to change the amount of achievement points awarded for game play in the mists.

As far as I’m aware exploring more areas or doing more dungeons/world events etc gets you a steady amount of points, but matches played/ranks acquired quickly becomes less rewarding in terms of AP gain.

In all honesty I don’t care much, but it’s certainly unfair on those that do.

Yeah we need more achievements in pvp, they can’t hurt.

seriously, we haven’t gotten new achievements and people are discussing exploits already?

It would be nice, i have around 2000+ games on my guard and 1000 hours on pvp and no points to really show for it. Maybe they should add a monthly achievement that gives you say max 50 achievement points for being in the top 100 leader boards or something.

awesome topic….
pvp ppl should have same (more or less) achievement point then pve players… and ppl here have write alot of idea, so take it and use it

with all the big emphasis on achievements now (and even skins being obtainable through them), yes, i’d expect them to make PvP more viable as a way to get achievement points.

plus, it’s a “currency” shared by both gameplay types, so they could get some achievement farmers into PvP.

Lian Olsam.9541:

would it be a problem?

sometimes i am amazed by the insane amount of achievements team fortress 2 haz.

don’t think interrupting specific actions would be a good idea. it would encourage bad play on classes/builds with poor access to interrupts, as they’d just sit on their interrupt until the desirable situation appears.

general interrupts are fine though, sometimes i’m surprised at the amount of people that don’t know how to interrupt a channeled heal.

Yeah and it should be called ‘hero of hotjoin’. Just to encourage more zerging so PvE guys can farm more glory AND achievement points than PvP players.
