I'm just going to give some tips for the interested, as I see a whole lot of duplicate and, to be frank, not very exciting achievements, which is a shame since this community has a lot of creativity and I'd like to see it used.

  • Originality.
This is the one sticking out at the moment. A lot of people have suggested achievements for killing bosses, getting the Excalibur and other rather straightforward tasks. Personally, I think these suggestions are redundant. Not because other people have thought of them, but because the Devs themselves probably have thought of them. If they think of a sword that shoots Rainbow Cats, achievements for killing a boss aren't such a huge leap.

  • Difficulty.
Achievements should not be too easy or too difficult. You shouldn't have to be surprised when an achievement suddenly pops up for making it towards the ocean, nor should you get one when defeating the Dungeon Guardian. Achievements should be challenging, but in essence everyone should be able to complete them, a twelve-year-old just as much as a forty-year-old.

  • Grinding factor.
Excessive grinding or anything that relies a lot of RNG isn't actually fun to do. Killing every slime is fine, killing Pinky 10 times is something you can't really work towards, you just have to get lucky. You don't want to spend one year on completing all the achievements.

  • Achievements for the sake of references/puns.

This can work, but it doesn't always. The task of the achievement is the focus, not the little message that pops up when you get it. If the reference is in the task itself (like in this one, if I may be so arrogant to blow my own horn), that's usually fine. Bear in mind though that not everyone will get a reference, so don't be too obscure.


That's about it for now, now get that creativity flowing!

Achievements are a difficult feature to "hit on the head". You bring up some good points, however... Say what you want about Microsoft, but the Xbox achievement system is fantastic. I've played well over 100 games racking up around 65k GS and 100% about 15 of them. The purpose of an achievement can be a number of different things. You can use them to have players explore locations and mechanics of the game they might have overlooked in just a simple play-through. You can also use them as bragging rights. "Oh man, it took me forever, but I finally got Mile High Club for CoD 4" I've found that the games that have about 60% of achievements dedicated to progression and 40% to miscellaneous objectives works the best. I also do not like multiplayer achievements no matter how easy or hard they are to get, because multiplayer is so unpredictable. For example, Halo 3 had an achievement to get a double double kill (easy) and to get a Perfection (Hard). Even if you are good at the game, perfections just aren't handed out and you have to get really lucky. That is not fun, or rewarding.

  • Originality.
Obviously the Devs have thought of the mundane achievements such as killing a boss or obtaining certain items. The point in bringing those up is more to present a name for an achievement such as that. For example, in my post I used this: "Like in that other game." - Obtain the Creeper Costume. Going back to my above statement that about 60% of achievements should be dedicated to progession... Terraria is a very unique game in that its' strength IS progression. It only makes sense to have these achievements, and it would be fair to assume that the Devs are looking for names rather than actual progression achievements. Also, someone might point out an element they overlooked.

  • Difficulty.
I agree with you on this point. There should be four tiers of achievements.
  1. Easy. These are simply to introduce you to the concept of achievements and get you started in the game. I'll use another one of my examples: "It was a box, wasn't it?" - Create your first home. Simple enough, introduces achievements, and gets the player pointed in the right direction to further progressing in the game as well as earning more achievements.
  2. Medium. These consist of the progression elements. A casual player should be able to earn all, if not most of these achievements. The purpose of these is to give the player a reason to keep playing. Beat The Eye of Cthulhu, Wall of Flesh, craft a full set of armour, etc. These should not be hard, but present a challenge.
  3. Hard. This tier can consist of progression elements, but will probably feature more obscure things to do in the game. Another example: "Made for each other." - Give both the Cyborg and Steampunker a Love Potion. The example achievement is a simple enough task, however it requires a lot of prerequisites. You mush have crafted the potion, defeated Plantera, and have both the Cyborg and Steampunker moved into a home. Getting to Plantera is a difficult task. So while the actual act the achievement has you do is simple, the build up to it is what classifies it as a "Hard" achievement. The purpose for these is to open up other various gameplay elements the player might have overlooked or not really had a reason to do aside from a fun side activity. A casual player should be able to earn some of these if they take the time to go out of their way.
  4. Expert. These are for your dedicated fans. Some of them might not be particularly difficult, but require you to put some time into the game that a casual player might not achieve. Here's an example: "You can't buy happiness!" - Use 100 Platinum as ammo. Again, not a particularly difficult achievement, but the prerequisites are quite extreme. The Coin Gun is a very rare drop from a Pirate Invasion and you'll also need to have at least 100 Platinum in order to earn the achievement. 100 Platinum is a feat in of itself. These are the bragging rights achievements. However, like you said, you don't want it to be too difficult or obscure that would make it frustrating to actually earn. A few examples of this that I've seen a lot of is like making it to wave 20 on the Frost Moon or defeating the Dungeon Guardian. Are the possible, yes, but is it fun? Not really. (I'd rather they have a sort of "Highest wave achieved" in a list of statistics vs an achievement for getting to wave 20)

  • Grinding Factor.
While I agree with the points you brought up, you also have to remember what game you're playing. Terraria involves a lot of grinding and A TON of RNG, whether that be for items, resources, money... this game has a lot of it... it would only make sense to reward the player for their efforts. I agree that "Kill x enemy y times" isn't a fun achievement, but an achievement like, "What fun is there in making sense?" - Obtain the Rod of Discord, takes a lot of grinding and some RNG to obtain, but can also be obtained through natural gameplay.

  • Achievements for the sake of references/puns.
This game is full of references and puns, so in my opinion, the achievements should reflect that. Granted, people could be a little bit more clever with their references and puns, but it's not something I think people should shy away from. It sure beats an achievement like "Kill the Eye of Cthulhu"... you know what that achievement is just by looking at, yes, but it's not fun or memorable. Darwins' Parachute, Apreture Science, and Irony were some of my favorite achievements because they were memorable.

You brought up some good points, and I hope that I could elaborate on them a little more.
