sadly, i think the achievement system in Ro is gone in a wrong direction. please Twi, release a second set of rewards based upon community suggestions.
achievements got potential, but i don't see a single reward related to capturing objectives, or fighting alongside with your squad leader. the multiple wounds system is ignored, so are the timer of every map and reinforcements.
actual achievements are too focused on killing sprees and such, in a game where you don't even got a kill/death visible score. some achievement are so easy to obtain that nobody care to get it, other are simply extreme to gain.
then you have a full set of achievement rewarding players for being foolish. come on, i don't want a anti tank team mate to be awarded for shooting enemies with panzerfausts! i did myself the marksmanship silver in berezina, wasting more than 5 minutes trying absurd shots, and i admit i felt stupid after that.
achievements that i like are the one awarding players for having done something epic or winning the match, like "hero of the union" stuff and such.
saying "if you don't like achievements ignore em" is not an answer, because if i don't care about rewards, there are enemies and teammate hunting medals, eventually spoiling the game.
so here is a simple idea for you devs: listen the community, as you did so many time before, and release a second set of achievements based upon the suggestion of players.
i can throw in some quick suggestion of new achievements as example:
- "blitzkrieg" win a round (or match) in X minutes
- "Reich defender" win koenigsplatz, defending last objective for more than x minutes
- after being injuerd, finish the round alive.
- "last man standing" defend an objective alone for more than x seconds, killing at least one enemy
- "ivan the terrible" as a soviet, win a match after zeroing german reinforcements
and i bet the community is full of better ideas.
i'm sorry for the wall-text, and forgive my bad english, i hope it's clear enough.
