I wish I made 35k.... a little under half of the 75k would be nice.

I don't even fall in the ok. I guess I must be in the fail hard catagory if their is one.

[Jody Von Jedi]

I'm in the "Meh" category.

Why the stats reset with such a big LRM change? Maybe wait til balancing is only requiring small changes? I think i will be holding off playing assaults for now until I see how the LRM dust is settling.

I just have no words...
get 20000 assists??!!!
kill 1000 opponents with headshot??!!!

and look at these rewards...
PGI, you totally know how to amuse...

[Rhialto]

Was looking for the new achievements on website, I found them ingame only.

Will you later add those on the website too? More convenient to look at those...

And so many C-Bills for all the cadet bonus, but it looks like vets get nothing...

I haven't finished patching yet, but pray do tell there aren't any silly achievements like "kill 4 teammates in the same match"...

Okay, the C-bills have been paid for veterans.

There is the "Knight-Errant" for completing the Cadet matches. Mine reads 100%.

Still, the achievements are a joke, just play normally and you'll get them all. There is nothing special.

On a side note, I wonder if they got permission from Disney to call that achievement the Death Star? We could see butting of heads with the Star Wars people again. Remember Battledroids?

Well, there're achievments like "win a match and be the only one, who survived"... sooo be careful, if there're two of you left against last enemy...
There're two ahievments for killing 8 and 12 mechs in one match. These are gonna be earned easily after Private matches are available. I personally do 5 or 6 kills quite often, but it was only once when I killed 8 in one match. Killing more than that is a sheer luck or cheating by any means.
PGI has such a thoughtful team of game designers...

75K = OK ?

I wish I was "OK"

LOL!

Sorry Jody, I live in the guts of Silicon Valley. Two income households, each making $75K, are barely "middle class".

[J0anna]

Is there any way to ignore these achievements? Why isn't there a cancel button or a collect later button? Even force crashing the game doesn't stop them from wasting my time - well thought out there.....

XD They should've kept deathstar a secret achievement.

Like it. But are Buggy. I had been the last of ourt Team. We won the match. No achievement gotten. Tried to post a screenshoot. Not working. Grr.

Would it be possible to disable certain achievements for full 12-man premades? My experience with other games is that players will organize to rig achievements if possible. There is even more motivation if you add rewards like mechbays, paint, gxp, or cbills.

I'm not so worried about the grinding ones as I am about the ones like: Get 12 kills in a single game, or Get 12 Assists in a single game, or all the other do X in a single match.

You will potentially wind up with two 12-mans getting together and taking turns giving one guy all 12 kills. Meanwhile, the rest of the team taps each mech with a small laser for the assist achievements.

Anyone caught doing this INSTANT BAN. Anyone who can pull off a death star for real deserves the title.

I can appreciate that. After all, it's all about "location, location, location". LOL!

Thank you PGI finally you have given a real incentive to play. Finally. I snuck in a game last night and i was surprised to see achievements popping up on screen three IIRC. I was then even more surprised, impressed and happy when it gave me a 50,500 c bill reward for some of those achievements. It made my fairly lackluster score all the more sweeter,

Thanks PGI for finally getting something in place to encourage better play and promote achievements, makes me want to play some more now for some bonuses. Carrot on a string i know....

Yep. I played a trial Stalker because there is a "win 5 in a trial" achievement. I know that's to encourage new players, but why not give it a shot? (Particularly until they slow LRMs back down... )

I've actually taken out quite a few trial mechs for a spin. It's a great way to check to see if you'll like a chassis or not. It's what got me into Cicadas in the first place, and I'm glad I gave it a try.

This also came in very handy when we got the free Centurion recently, as I had 13k experience sitting in the queue that I couldn't spend until I bought the mech... then didn't need to buy it after all. It came FREE!

There is nothing you really get for pulling of 8 or 12 kills in a game. I got the Ace of Spades yesterday and It only gave me a badge I get to see in my profile....would have prefered some C bills or MC.
