Achievements in WoW?

[BlackArmsShadow]

In WotLK they're adding achievements to the game. Are they just copying Xbox 360 with this?

They closed create your own items...

Trying to keep the players' interest as much as possible.

They are copying 360, and it's full of fail. It will just make the game filled with more addicts... T_T

Indeed it will.

It just makes people crazy, jumping off 15000 yards and living just to get a goddamn achievement.

I like the Feats of Strength though, it separates a newbie from a veteran.

Woot for being a paladin. Bubbles ftw.

Woot for being Shaman. Reincarnation ftw.

Actually copying Warhammer, but like it matters. Achievements will have no influence on the gameplay, it's just perks and such, stuff to do while you're bored. I find no problem with that.

It's disturbing enough they would do this. But why? World of Warcraft lost enough fans when The Burning Crusade came out.

 

[LordDz]

I thought you meant copying TF2?

Steam really copied the 360 as well with achievements. Orange Box was the first game with them, and it came out after the 360. Mind you, this is just another brilliant idea by Blizzard to keep the playerbase hooked. It disgusts me as a human being, but looking at it from a business standpoint, it's brilliant.

You mean copying cod 4. =p

I've said this like 30 times and I never get tired of it =D
I love seeing Blizzards greatest failure just get worse!
All I've been looking forward too is SC2.

WoW is Blizzard's greatest success. They're raking it in, plus they've completed dominated a market that has been untapped

I mean, heck, it's bigger than Starcraft, their previous greatest success
