User Input Needed Steam Achievements

Discussion in 'Feedback & Suggestions' started by FaustoMartense, Aug 16, 2012.

  1. Is there a way to show the unlocked achievements in this forum as signatures? I saw some of them in others forums but usually in totally uncool games... Is there a way to do it with Dungeons of Dredmor?

    I presume there is a site that does something like that for you, or that it is something that you have to make yourself.

    I'll move this to the forum suggestion/feedback category.

    This is possible and will go under consideration and will probably happen when Steam login get worked out.

    So when thinking about this I need some feedback.

    If it's possible to get the achievements in the signature do you want the latest X achievements or X random unlocked achievements? Since DoD has a large amount it would be unwise to include them all.

  6. Lastest sound good. If you can somehow choose in which way to you show achievements (latest or random) it would be even better. I do not know how hard would it be to code it, but some players may like to show their favorite achievements instead of the latest.

    I'd suggest options for:

    X Latest Unlocked
    X Rarest Unlocked (based on that thing Steam shows of % of players with the achievements)
    X Random

    I'd be happy with achievements that worked, period . . I reviewed them yesterday and it seems like more than a few of them are wedged or broken.

    I want an official "Dungeons of Dredmor Stamp of Total, Utter Badassery" for my exploitless GRPD run. :D


    So I guess that's a vote for 'showing the favorite', though showing latest, rarest, an random are good suggestions.

    Also, show the highest achievement in terms of killing Dredmor, the amount of skilltree achievements, how many diggles you got killed by, amount of diggle eggs eaten, amount of bad Krong enchantments, item set achievements (Dungeon of Id, Kanadian Pride), wands repaired with the n-dimensional lathe (yes, YES we need that), place in the global leaderboards for Elvishly Easy, Dwarven Moderation etc etc.

    And how will mods play into this? Some can and will consider it cheating to Kill Dredmor with a superpower mod that makes you invulnerable.

    In general I think having achievements tied in is a terrible idea. It is doomed to start many senseless fights. It will ruin good threads. Showing them in the profile of a member is another matter. But even then there is room to bicker about how disruptive it will be.

  12. In terms of killing Dredmor... maybe there could be two achievements for each difficulty, one for a vanilla run and another one with mods.

    This all sounds like way too much of a pain. if people want to put screenshots of their Achievements screens or their tombstones in their sigs, they can.

    Yes, I think Essence got it really.

    I mean I don't think it's a bad idea, but considering GLG's size, their (relatively) small target group for this and the fact they're trying to develop CE whilst also giving DoD some support (which, judging by the bug reports subforum, it still needs), it just seems like unless they can somehow team up with a group that already does these signatures, the cons will outweigh the pros.

    It's a good idea, sure, but unless they put it down as advertising/marketing, I just can't see the resources it needs being given to it.

    Plus we currently don't allow images in signatures in general for various reasons. "Bah, humbug" etc

    You mean my Viagra ads cannot be part of my 'sig if they are images? Aw... Why not? :p

    Well if I were to suggest something it would depend on the size of the achievement windows. If for example 9 could fit, I would want
    3 random
    3 most recent
    3 User selected (presumably picking what they want that are the most hilarious or the most prestigious)

    We could always display our achievements in our avatar. Because, you know, I am best represented by my awesome feats.
