Achievements

[Lidskjalf 132]

As long as there is no achievements for just shitting on players then I can make my peace with the achievements.  Gives players another reason to do the miscellaneous things in DayZ, which is great.

 

I imagine it will eventually come.  As quoted "It's only Alpha".

exactly my point, Achievement should be focus to a more co-op survival kinda game, not encourage KoS and such, that shit is gonna exist anyway :)

Yes Dood!

Has anyone found Rocket saying this yet?

 

No, it seems he never said such thing

I first thought it would be a good idea to put archievements into the game, to keep the gamers playing the game, but here are some reasons I would NOT like to see them in the game:

 

First of all I want to say that players would not play the game with their "own mind", they would try to play after the survival archievments that are given. You would constantly see someone run around shooting as many zombies as possible (and ignore every single survival instict, because shooting attracts even more zombies) or stuff themselves, even if they are full!

Another point I would add is that it simply does not fit to the game. This is more or less a survival game and it doesn't not feel right for me if suddenly "archievment unlocked: killing 100 zombies" pops up, when you are fighting for your life.

The archievments will want many people want to get this game (this first may sound good, but here is the deal), that will probably end up KOS or be a d**k in some other kind of way... We have already enough who play this way, we don't need more of them...

I think achievements don't really fit this game. This game is more about plain luck and freewill then getting rewards for doing things.

Those are some nice achievements, but they'll never make it into the game.

 

Rocket has already said that he will never have achievements in the game.

 

Oh yeah? you think? you're just a liar!

At first i was like 'you are kidding...'

 

Then i read and was like :D yea!

[smrtrthanavgbear 11]

Yes, but achievements account for nothing in game and are made just a "I have no life" beacon for steam :3

who cares how someone else plays the game. people are out for themselves anyway

so what if a little box pops up on your screen?... enjoy it or ignore it but don't cry like a baby screaming "this ain't tha place for them things!!"

if it gets more people playing.. great. if it helps populate servers.. great.

I'd like 3 more levels of survival. 30, 60, and 90 days. I've never made it to 90.

Made it to 5 months in the mod. Died because of something at spawning went wrong. Ended up at the coast in the water. Just 20 metres before i could reach the coast, some guys shot me.

Oh yeah, I'm a liar because TWO MONTHS AGO, when I wrote this, Dean said that there wouldn't be any achievements.

 

I need a source for that pic.

we MUST kill zombies just for the sake of it. Killing zombies is the objective

Eventually, hopefully, killing Z will be a vital part of survival.

 

Achievements are things you manage to do in game because of player skill. Satisfaction is derived from accomplishing something difficult, like constructing a near invisible base or headshotting 9 out of 10 Z. Not from mindless grinding.

Achievements, can't think of something less useful. In former times you'd be given a vid sequence that you unlocked or similar, now you get a lousy "hey you actually did this! gz!"-badge. Waste of time for a dev, imo.

[pacific_coast 632]

steam acheivements confirmed.

 

most of them will obviously be stat achievements

 

but some original/unique ones like

 

mythbuster - visit green mountain

 

high voltage - survive in elektro for 72 hours

 

ect

[cejota14 130]

lol, a lot of people hating on this. This is actually a very good idea and it already made it into development. You are going to see a lot...A LOT of Steam Achievements, deal with it.
