I feel like the game lacks of achievements. Does anyone else share the same feel?
Having lockdown Achievements would be a nice add, in my opinion, and would make the lockdown experience even more fun.

I'll here list some achievements ideas I had. The achevement names are temporary, and i truly appreciate suggestions from everyone of you.
would love nice and humorous names.. help me out with them!

Join a tier-1 lockdown match
Join a tier-2 lockdown match
The Real Deal -- Join a tier-3 lockdown match

Survived, for now -- Win a lockdown game
Scars and scratch marks -- Win 50 lockdown games
Ave Krogmo, morituri te salutant -- Win 100 lockdown games

do 5'000 damage in a single round
do 10'000 damage in a single round
do 15'000 damage n a single round

Fast-- capture 3 points in a single round
Faster-- capture 9 points in a single round
The Fastest-- capture 12 points in a single round

The tower-- defend 2 points in a single round
The Fortress-- defend 4 points in a single round
The great Wall-- defend 6 points in a single round

Getting started -- Play a full round as every class
Can't touch this-- Don't die for the whole match

We were friends once!-- have someone from your friendlist as opponent
Brother in arms-- have someone from your friendlist as teammate

Another break in the wall-- Break a guardian's shield
There you are!-- Break a recon shield

Phantom of the opera-- Death mark 3 opponents at once as recon
Stay Close!-- heal 3 teammates at once as guardian
The last word-- kill the one who broke your shield and survive

Any idea is truly appreciated! Help me out, maybe we can have a sweet little addition in, for the ones who, like me, love achievements.

Some nice ideas here, but I wouldn't recommend going for the ones that seem to encourage people to play in a manner that would be counter-productive for the team. Like the one for not dying during the match would seem to encourage people to just hang out in the team bay to avoid getting attacked at all.

Oh, it's you again -- Get killed by the same person 5 times in one match, while not once dying by any other means.
Yeah, it's me again -- Kill someone 5 times in one match, where they don't die by any other means.

@Akarinmimiz

If you'd take a look further than just the category title you'd know that you actually have to earn your title.

- Guardians have to camp their point for the game and can't afford to lose that particular point for the game, as well as making sure they stay alive.
- Recons, while they can avoid enemies, have to capture a whopping 10 points to earn the achievement. That can't be harmful to the team, can it?
- Strikers might have to play defensively, but considering they have no way of knowing how much damage they have dealt until the game is over, they'll just have to keep fighting until it's over.

So as you can see, you can't just sit at base and do nothing. Not only will you not get your achievement, but you will also get disqualified for coins. So you still have to put some effort in, both for the game and for the achievement.

Shidara

@Nicoya-Kitty

You shouldn't have achievements that encourage death, mate.
Also, having achievements that can be cancelled out by your target (aside from killing you) is a bit overboard. If someone figured out you were going for that one particular achievement, they might just run up to somebody else and die on purpose just to be a jerk.

My opinions anyhow.

i like this alot +1

One man army-deal 15000 damage

300-???*

* i don't know what it should be for but it should be rather hard as it is referring to the 300 spartans

edit: i thought of a few more ideas

shocker - get all your kills on others by shocking them.

Who you gonna call? - kill an invisible recon with 1 hit.(status kills do not count for this achievement.)

use enough dynamite there, butch? - get every kill in the match using a explosive bomb and win the round. (Nitronome,Big Angry Bomb,etc)

swarm-capture every control point at least once with your whole team on it.

renames:

the fastest=The Flash

as the comic book character whose superpower is to run very fast

@Shidara

I was more referring to the one in the first post. Though I'm not entirely sure about convincing a guardian to sit on the same spot for the entire match either.

I have no complaints about your other options.

@Shidara Other games have achievements for dying in certain ways, like the "Consolation Prize" achievement in TF2. I was playing when the achievement was launched, and it didn't seem to affect people's gameplay much (save for the usual rush of everyone going to that class to earn that, and all the other, achievements).

Curse You! -- Kill an opponent with the Curse status.
There shouldn't be an achievement that requires one particular weapon, in this case, GF/Faust.

Some other achievements:
Guild Match - Play a Guild LD match
Guild Victory - Win a Guild LD match
I would recommend changing Can't Touch This to: Didn't take damage for the entire game but captured at least 3 points
Indestructable - Did not die for the entire match but captured at least 3 points.

haha some of these are great, hope it actually happens, +1 to all the ideas.

Side note: When have the devs ever implemented a players suggestion? because some of these would be a ton of fun to try and obtain.

@Nicoya-Kitty It's not the

@Nicoya-Kitty

It's not the fact that they're death-achievements, but how you formulated them. Dying five times in a row to the same person is pretty hard unless said person is a hardcore solo-fighter, and doing so might harshly penalize your play-time as respawn varies anywhere from five to twenty-five seconds. I have had games where every time I died, I would always wait 20 seconds to respawn, so dying five times would equal to 100 seconds (1.66 minutes) time in the game spent dead. Unless respawn rates are tweaked, having an achievement that requires getting killed five times in a row by the same person is overkill. Twice is enough already.

@Fraxur

[EDIT]
D'oh. Looked over my previous post and realized the amount of fail this post contained.
I feel sort of silly now.

So on one hand you're going

So on one hand you're going "yeah, this achievement that forces you to do this specific task just to have a shot at" is OK but "no, this achievement that forces you to do this other specific task just to achieve" is not OK?

Joining a guild just to complete an objective seems far less forcing and less permanent than requiring people to add a very specific weapon. People might use the acheron already or might prefer to be pure gunners or bombers.

Perhaps the status one should be more generalised into a single "kill with status" achievement so you have a far wider variety of options to choose from, rather than just one single weapon line.

I truly appreciate your interest on the matter!

Thanks for the very nice ideas you all had and thanks for discussing so much on the matter, in particular Shidara and Spyash for the hilarious achievement names ("Who you gonna call?" was a real funny reference) Keep them coming! I'll eventually add and fix things in the next days, hopefully we'll get some attection! And thanks for the criticism about achievement that encourages counter-productive behaviour! Please point out why, and you opinion will be listened aswell.

If we can pack a nice and well-thought list thanks to everyone's help we may have a chance, don't we?

99% of players will join a guild and stay in a guild eventually but not all people uses Faust/GF, some probably never (like all the Acheron lovers which includes me).

@kinggobi

look at your post and find that one achievement is totally screwed up.

it's 'divine faust' that encourages people to get those weapons which is unfair to people without them that don't want to spend more money or all the time to get 2400 ce total and spend it on weapons they don't need or aren't the best for their play style.
