new achievements

[S3R4PH!M]

i have thought about some new achievements:

"Oldschool fun" : i really like those 'oldschool' half wodden weapons like the m79 the hunting shotty and the ak47. maybe this achievement could be unlocked if you get in three waves 3000 damage per each weapon or 4000 in 4 waves adding the lever action rifle

"Modern warfare": in opposite to the oldschool fun here you have to use the scar, the m14, the m32 and the aa12 to get 4000 damage in 4 waves each

"mortar shot": use one of the nade launchers firing a nade into the sky and score 6 kills when it comes back to the ground(i think this is not possible on all maps because the sky is not high enough)

"support master" : as support specialist weld XXX door points in XXX waves or weld XXX door points in one game. (here i don't know how high the numbers of points and waves should be to have a good achievement)

"contest participant" : win a long game on normal difficulty on all grindhouse mapping contest maps

"contest organizer" : win a long game on hard difficulty on all grindhouse mapping contest maps

"contest winner" : win a long game on suicidal difficulty on all grindhouse mapping contest maps

i didn't think about names for the single maps but i think TWI has enough creativity to think names for those

come on!
now i have to double post..

please comment my ideas in any way. no single answer makes me think that everyone agrees and hopes this achievements to be included.

those can't be so bad ideas that noone thinks it's worth to be commented

We don't really need more achievements ATM. Before putting new achievements, fixing the one we already have would be better. Dignity for the dead is broken, you dont get achievements on the official maps sometimes, blooper reel is also an issue for certain persons. Finally, we need the balancing patch and nothing else now.

kk..

dignity for the dead is really broken? lol
i thought i was too stupid to do the right things and i got 3 kills in the time between kf came out and now.

but what is that about blooper reel?

WE DO LOL. I have all the achievements except "defeat long game on normal in this and this map" because I played normal for a week and then moved to hard so I kinda never had the change to beat all those maps on normal lol. And now I just think it would be lame to join a normal game with my level 6 perks.

But what I hate about pretty much all games and their achievements, is the fact that they are all so easy to get. I mean, they are pretty much based on "Play the game long enough and you are guaranteed to get every achievement". For example, "Kill 10000 specimens" or "Kill 200 bloats" or "Aquire 5 minutes of ZED time". Ok, I dont mind having those around as long as there would be some decent REAL achievements too.

Ok there are some good ones like killing the patty before he has a chance to heal etc, but I want more stuff like that!

I would still prefer a balance update instead of new achievements, and i'm pretty sure i'm not the only one

They promised more than just a balance update, what ever "...and other things" means. So, why not balance update, some new content (perk? weapons? specimen?) and new achievements

And you said in an other thread that you dont think they will release something new for KF until RO is finished ^^
You must be a very patient man =o

"Oldschool fun"/"Modern Warfare"

Would be annoying to program a counter for this achievement particularly because they would be very easy to get (m14 has ~800 dps with lv6 bodyshots and ak47 does around 400ish).

"mortar shot"

By far the most interesting, but likely would be hard to set up (at least as hard as the jumping crawler one).

"support master"

Sort of an inane task that doesn't promote teamwork and isn't difficult.

"contest" achievements

The total number of maps submitted to the competition was around 80ish. Bad idea.

All in all, I really am not looking for more achievements right now, but rather new content that effects the way the game plays- like a balance patch. Achievements are like taking painkillers, you aren't really treating the issue, just trying to forget about it for awhile.

is that official?
i've always though it was - i got 5 ages ago and then it never went up again and i'm sure it should have done.

You usually pick them up in large numbers with a grenade or some such thing. If I remember right, the issue is that while a player is active and draws aggro, then the specs will not eat. Also you have to wait for the specs to start eating a corpse and then kill them before they stop eating by being far enough away and accurate enough that you don't draw their attention by firing at them and missing.

Or something like that. It's hard to do without intentionally setting up for it and trying multiple times.

Well i tried with my friend Giraffe something like 11 or 12 times. Between 3 to 4 clots everytime and he was using the m32. Even if the feeding animation was working when the nade was about to kill them, he only got one out of all those. The maps achievements are also an other issue. Had to do 3 times Manor on Suicidal to get it.
