I find it funny how everyone in here is raging over adding achievements like it effects them personally. Achievements are the mirror image of quests with a different name.

What is the difference between a quest to "kill 10 monsters to get 10 experience" Or an Achievement for "Kill 10 monster to get 10 achievement points"? You do the exact same thing, but get rewarded something else.

So the next time I'm in a dungeon and I think to myself "Hey I got some free time I'm going to try to get that achievement" what I'm really thinking is "I'm going to set out on a quest."

Talk about "nerds" and "casuals" all you like, but look at yourself first.

dont worry about listening to him..

he plays xbox so his iq is low

Quests are also relevant to the story line where as achievements are not...

When was the last time you played an MMO for the quests? Maybe when you first played it or when you got bored one day. That is exactly what the achievements are there for though; when you are bored. They add one more thing to do in the game that isn't official.

I don't know if you guys have played other blizzard games. namely World of warcraft and starcraft II but they have an achievement system where nerds do shit that doesnt matter for achievement points.

i think ranks are a nice thing if it really requires skills and effort to get a high rank. just dont make it "kill 20 players in the arena" because thats just a question of time.

well achievement in general can be something quite fun, especially in roleplay/hacknslash. the problem is that the achievements are made to easy so that every noob can get them. so if it's "kill 1.000.000 monsters" i m clearly against achievements.
but if it's really difficult ones it could be cool.

difficult ones would be kill 1.000.000.000.000 monsters right?

it is not as easy as u might think to code more complex achievements, thats why most games just add the boring achievements get X wins in arena, get X wins as Mr. Y

i doubt diablo 3 will be any different than other games on that... it is just to keep the players playing after they get bored of the game, and apparently it works... a lot of ppl seem to care about those shit

Achievements are unnecessary, but since game developers like being retard-friendly for profit they gonna put them in the game anyway.

Should we care? Sure as hell not ^^

If you don't like achievements then don't get them lol. If they're in the game it doesn't really affect you. And if someone in your group wants to get an achievement, just group with someone else, it's not hard.
