Summary0012708: Achievement ideas
DescriptionJust a random dump of Achievement ideas I had/have over time. I would love to see some more "real" achievements in an Arcen game, e.g. those forcing a different playstyle or exotic strategy. I will try to come up with some ; ).

You will likely have to come up with your own names for them, though (I am really bad at those things).

To be continued.

Beat the game without losing a single exo -- bit obvious this one, but hey what you gonna do.

I'll probably just edit this if I come up with further ones.

"I Am Legend: Equip an Epic Exo with all-legendary parts"

The title of that one is more like "I am Emma" ;)

Fair enough ; ). I will happily concurr to you adding a "and not be Emma" condition in this case = p.

Is it even going to be possible in that case? I've never gotten nearly enough legendaries as drops to do that.

- Win <Mission Type>
- Win <Mission Type> without losing an Exo
- Win <Mission Type> without taking damage

Some mission types might have specific achievements like
- Win Hostage mission (or however these are called) without losing any pods

- Poison Taster: Witness every possible effect of special terminals

And the obvious ones:
- Beat the game on difficulty <X>
- Beat the game with <Commander>

Not marking this resolved as we're not done adding achievements, but for 0.926:

* Added the first 90 achievements, most (probably all) drawn from player suggestions:
** Win the game (5, one for each difficulty)
** Win the game without taking any HQ damage (5, one for each difficulty)
** Win the game without ever losing an exo (5, one for each difficulty)
** Win the game without any epic exos (5, one for each difficulty)
** Win the game with all exos being of the same basic type (30, one for each difficulty and exo type combination)
** Win a mission by only using one exo, of a specific type (30, one for each difficulty and exo type combination)
** Win a mission without using stealth (5, one for each difficulty)
** Win a mission without using a standard weapon (so either not killing anything or just using mines, sentries, overload, virus, etc to do it) (5, one for each difficulty)

Thanks :)

I kind of liked the silly equipment achievements from Valley 2; might we be seeing those in Bionic Dues as well?

"I kind of liked the silly equipment achievements from Valley 2; might we be seeing those in Bionic Dues as well?"

You mean one for getting each type of loot, and one for getting each rarity of loot?

I wasn't planning on it because it feels more like one of those "milestones you will inevitably reach simply by playing, even if you don't play well at all" achievements. And/or the "easy collectible" achievements. For this game I'm trying to have them all be "you actually have to play well and/or strangely to get these", not necessarily _very_ well for the ones on Casual difficulty, but still.

That said, if there's a demand for the ones like you're talking about, I can do some.

Mm, I can see your point there.

Speaking of achievements: I can't say I like the uniform team (all exos of same type) achievements, seeing as they basically require you to play a boring game. (But I guess if others are willing to play such a game, it's not my place to object.) What do you guys think?

Obviously I like them ; ).
At least some of them should make for a game that is not boring *and* plays out quite different. Just my opinion, of course...

I can't imagine an All-Siege Game being boring. Anything with THAT many explosions HAS to be good!

Yea, I don't think they'd be boring to play once. More than one all-Assault game might get old.

I'm not sure all-Siege ever would.

Particularly all-Siege+Genji.

Poor bots would never see it coming.

These just now in for 0.931:

* Added achievement for winning the campaign with ironman enabled. One for each difficulty level below Misery, so 5 total.

* Added achievements for destroying 20, 50, and 100 enemy bots in a single action. One for each difficulty level below Misery, so 15 total.

* Added achievement for winning an assasination mission by killing each boss with a pistol shot. One for each difficulty level below Misery, so 5 total.

* Added achievement for winning a hostage rescue mission without losing a single cryopod. One for each difficulty level below Misery, so 5 total.


So that brings us up to 150 total, which is more than enough for 1.0. Some of the others are very tempting (killing lots with virus/mines/sentries, etc) but are more likely to have edge case bugs that may or may not be caught in time to be fixed, etc.

Anyway, the vast vast majority of the total came from here (I don't think anyone suggested the win-with-ironman ones, but probably because it was too obvious), so many thanks for getting this going. We'll be back :)
