personally i wouldn't try this as ive done practically all of them over the 2 or so years ive been playing and i wouldn't try to do them all again.

To be honest, I don't really like those tiered achievements (10/50/200/1000 whatever), though the references ones are exceptions (64 blocks = Minecraft is great).

In my opinion, achievements shouldn't be about doing things over and over to stat-grind achievements, but accomplishing something funny that nets you things. Something that you can't just grind over and over, but requires a whole lot of skill and a whole lot of luck. Peace is a great example, something unrelated to how the game is played out, as is Calm Aim, due to the ludicrous nature of actually pulling off such a feat. Or, as I noted before, Minecraft for the side-reference you're making.

Racking up kills, capturing intel, all of these are grindable; there's no real accomplishment except "you've dumped hours into this game".

I think the reason why, such achievements are hated is because people don't seem to understand how # of stuff based achievements are about, they usualy lifetime based also as for the fact that some of these achievements are so easy is mainly because achievements is usualy focused on new players, if Ace of Spades or Minecaft didn't have availible alphas and betas than these and their achievement would be a good thing, but sence both games allowed alpha/beta game play, veterains who played in early stages would find such achievements, infact you could say achievement is part of gamerfercation(bad spelling) these days just like leveling in most genres in all honesty leveling shouldn't exist in sandbox games at all, ofcourse in minecraft's case leveling is actually a macanic and not just something to make new players feel better about them selves, of couse sence i'm not very good about making achievements for ace of spades, i asked if anyone can give me some ideas for achievements for me to add, Also i have thought of refrencing some games but i felt it would sound stupid, and wouldn't have any relation to AoS anyways.

Spoiler:

In short I agree with you

I like it, this might be possible with a pyspades script. We, stack, has plans to make an analytics script for pyspades. Achievements are really just fancy SQL queries to a database so it would be very easy to tie into our analytics db.

Thx

But I realized something wouldn't you have to find a way to tie all of the servers together(In Restrospect i think Pyspades can do that)in order for these achievements to work, And in order to do that, AoS needs to be a FULL download game, and no longer a browser game(as it is now)?

It'd be nice if Stack would ever actually finish some of these cool projects...
