Besides the usual "score X kills", "score above Y damage" and other medals.... what other achievements would you like to see?

Some ideas:

"Pacifism" Medal Series:
- prequisite: Play a mech with a damage of 0 (zero offensive weapons)

"Pacifist"
- Win a game

"Advanced Pacifist"
- Win a game
- score X points

"Mean Pacifist"
- Win a game
- score X damage

"Brutal Pacifist"
- Win a game
- score a kill


Suggest your ideas!

I Can't let you do that, Mechwarrior.
Override shutdown after overheating.

Just in CASE
survive an ammo explosion with CASE.

Zombie
survive a match with less than 15% total health left

Off with his head!
incapacitate a 'mech by destroying the pilot canopy.

David and Goliath
Destroy a 'mech that is at least double your present tonnage -or- be killed by a 'mech that is half your tonnage.

Master Class

Some could be team based too - to promote how the game is intended to be played like...
Win in a lance of 4 (or a certain win streak)
Win in a lance of 12 (or a certain win streak)
Win against a 12 man premade (12man vs 12 man)
Win with 0 lost pilots (those shameful 12-0 games...lol)
Have over 6 kills in a premade lance (basically 2 each)
Have a combined damage score of xxx amount (for the premade lance)

Or more solo victories...
Certain streak of "saviour kills" (Valour Ribbon/badge)

Even an accomplishment tree like the Skills and Pilot trees? The more you do different abilities could be unlocked?

Cool idea to get started, Sidekick

Pyrotechnician
1 kill via ammo explosion

Demolition Expert
10 kills via ammo explosion

Ammo Chef
100 kills via ammo explosion

An Extra Shrimp on the Barbie
1 kill via flamer

I am the Firestarter
4 kills via flamer and 200+ flamer damage in a single match


For the in-game titles that Russ mentioned, perhaps we could be awarded with an icon to put next to our name in-game instead of having a full written title. For example, the aforementioned Ammo Chef could award an icon with a chef's hat over a bullet, while I am the Firestarter could award an flame icon. This would allow us to display a title next to our name without cluttering up the targeting interface.

While I would prefer it if PGI spent their programming resources on basically ANYTHING ELSE AT ALL, these are admittedly amusing to think up. It's weird. I couldn't be less interested in getting achievements.

A Leg to Stand on - Defeat two enemies while legged.

Chiropractor - Destroy a 'Mech with pristine legs and front armor.

Left for Dead - Be destroyed by a light 'Mech in any Assault while your team has ten or more surviving members.

Shin Kicker - Destroy a friendly 'Mech's leg by ramming them.

Flyswatter - Use four tons of AMS ammo in a single match.

Ahab - Destroy a 'Mech with your last round of ammunition.

Juggernaut - Destroy an enemy 'Mech by ramming them.

Devil's Luck - Get saved, then killed, by the same friendly within a 2 second span of time.

Turret - Get three kills in any 'Mech slower than 40 kph.

Hair Splitter - Kill a locust with a cockpit shot.

Duelist - Defeat an enemy 'Mech with no allied assists.

I just killed an Assault mech with my Light mech and all I got was this lousy achievement

Kill any Assault mech while piloting a Light mech

[SilverStarDragon]

lol, 3 of those "accomplishments" should be on the negative list XD
'Left for dead', 'Shin kicker' and 'Devil's luck' don't quite promote team playing....especially if (this achievement tree ever gets integrated) it's mandatory to unlock certain bits for certain titles...team fire would be 'acceptable'?

Your other ideas are cool though! Like the sound of the 'Turret' one, gives legged mechs a reason to press on
