Brainstorming: Achievements

Haha, good thing I requested achievements in that PM a long time ago. :3

 

we made a really good team.

 

Small staff team, only greenpeas and ryguy

 

Hey yo. Are we taking a look at adding more achievements, or just helping these? And should we be concerned about possibly musical minecarts and boat race making a new appearance, and adding achievements for those?

Party has always been small, but you shouldve seen the big ideas. They can handle it I'm sure.

 

I think King Of The Hill 1: should be King of the Cliff and 2 should be king of the mountain.

Adding more ideas later.

 

• [Pacifist] Come in second place without hitting anyone

Should probably have changed S'no to just Snow

• [Girl's best friend] Win a game of Diamond Mine with only diamonds.

• [One step ahead] Have more than 10 blocks of area than all other players (let me know if you need clarification on this one)

• [Rainbow Run] Step on every color of wool available and still win first.
• [Don't look back] Win first without stopping your movement.

 

This is a really good idea!

 

All of these achievements are a very good start but I think there should be a few more long term achievements for each mini game. By making more long term goals it would help with players coming back to play rather then play once on the server and never come back.

 

Yea you're right. I just can't think of any more right now. I will, but my inspiration comes in waves. XD

 

I certainly agree with this! Although, I think that this could be resolved by using the tiered achievements mentioned above. E.g:

• Frozen I - Win 1 game of SnowBall Fight
• Frozen II - Win 10 games of Snowball Fight
• Frozen III - Win 20 games of Snowball Fight

This would definitely be a cool idea to include with achievements.

 

I feel like we should not go too overboard with that though. Maybe going up by 40 or 50 would be better. Any less and the achievements might not be seen as a challenge.

 

That is true. To keep players there needs to be reachable challenges but then also challenges that take lots of time and effort. (Ex. Win 1 game, 100 games, then 1000 or something like that) the reason for the 1000 is that after completing some more reachable ones if there are even easier achievements ahead it will more then likely bore the player because there is no challenge ahead for them. Instead because the player has already gained confidence from completing some easy achievements they will then try to complete the harder one with motivation and confidence. Thus getting playing minuets and getting players to come back rather then playing once and leaving.

 

1000 is way too hard, each party game lasts about 1.5 minutes, 1.5x25= about 35 a whole round of party games takes 35 minutes. 35 minutes X 1000= 35000 minutes, you also won't win all of them so yeah. That is way too much.

 

I said or something like that meaning it would be subject to change. The point I was trying to get across by saying that is there should be a dramatic change so that it is a challenge for the player.

 

Like purest said, it was just an analogy made for example. I'm in agreement with him, however, that achievements should not increase by 10 or even 20 games. Because of the ease of the actual minigames, more challenging achievements can be used to both make up for that loss of a challenge in the actual game and motivate players to continue playing. No one enjoys getting achievements that don't mean much. It's like the "open your inventory" achievement in vanilla

 

I really like this idea, there is already blatant competiveness in Party I feel as if this adds Individual competiveness and between friends.

 

Although I certainly love this idea, since it can bring a little more competition to the actual game, there are some achievements that can be abused. Example:
(Ace sniper) Don't miss any shots in a game (OITC)
This can be simply abused or either not having shot a single time or by staying in a safe location or evade all shots till the end of the game where you have your duel and win by shotting for the first time and last for the game itself.

I didn't make it through reading all of your achievent ideas since they are countless but having a small research and a revamping you can fix those abusable achievements.
