New Achievements!

[Durgrobach]

Hello everyone, I'm posting this thread to try and gather up some ideas from you guys.

What sort of achievements would you like to see in Monaco?

This could be:
Completing certain levels with certain characters
Cleaning out a level in SP
Getting a rare occurence to happen
500 wall blocks destroyed as the Mole
or manually shutting off 100 electronics as the hacker.

Get creative! The sky is the limit!

I'm thinking maybe having achievements based on skill, rather than "do this over and over".

Going along with what you've suggested, clearing out Pearls Before Swine in singleplayer with no deaths would be a neat challenge. Maybe another challenge like "Finish every level with the locksmith without dying", something like that.

Or perhaps clearing specific levels without items. That'd be a tough one, though not impossible.

[Robly18]

How about an achievement for playing with 3 people on your friends list?

[quicksilver]

or "generate 75 disguises with the gentleman"

[MonkeyPocket]

Finish a level without picking a single coin with the Pickpocket in Singleplayer
Discover all secret passages (although rVII's guide makes the job easy now)

[Big Fudge]

Personally i'm not a big fan of do X however many times. That being said, it would be almost silly to not have some. I think if you're going to do them you have to get clever with them. I would suggest thinking about the engine in a strange way, which parts can you quantify.

For example, my suggestion would be aggro X number of guards at one time. This would add a unique challenge almost opposite to the goal of the game.

Hold the Elevator
-Slip through a handprint door that's being held open by an NPC (doesn't matter if they're alive, dead, asleep, or agro for any reason)

Achievements awarded for learning tricks of the game will hopefully generate more users who have increased interest in advancing beyond the Disco where a large number of them give up.

I like that hold the elevator one because I always do that.

[Durgrobach]

I would like to clarify that the "Do this X times" suggestions were merely suggestions, and since a lot of other games have them, they came to mind first. Although I would like achievements that sort of push the player to try out different characters a bit.

I agree with Crosbot though, they should be clever and somewhat difficult to attain.
Maybe:

Modern Magician - Have 6 viruses active at once; easiest with the Hacker of course, but still not forcing it on the players.

Sweet Dreams - Knock out 3 enemies in 5 seconds; easiest with the Cleaner, but doable with the Tranquilizer.

Loose Belt - Expend 5 disguises in one level; Gent, but any level with disguises would do.

I do like some of these suggestions, keep it up guys!

[Magician]

I have some suggestions:

Killing Machine - Kill atleast 3 or more gendarme with one shot of a gun.

Playgirl - [Redhead Only Achievement] Quickly charm an NPC, then charm another NPC within 5 seconds.

Manslaughter - Kill 2 of your friends in one shot in a PvP match.

Friendly Fire - Asplode a friend of yours in a Non-PvP match.

(Will add more suggestions.)

OMG please, yes, don't make achievements based on "do this 100 times", they suck badly and are not skill based.

About other suggestions:
Hold the Elevator, Modern Magician and Sweet Dreams sounds funny

My suggestion
No..no, Mr not here: Answer a telephone

[Holographic Doll]

We already have two achievements for playing with your friends -- Whacked and the secret achievement.

I like Hold the Elevator.

Narrow Escape: Aggro three or more armed guards at once (not watchmen or dogs) and then successfully reset aggro on all of them without dying. (Using either creative footwork, an escape hatch, or clever use of a disguise item.)

Gentleman's Four: Clean out One Last Job without any violence occurring. (No shots fired, no NPCs shooting at you -- that is, re-enact Ocean's Eleven. Other levels that might be good candidates are Pearls Before Swine and Au Revoir.)

[Onigame]

Play with all 70 combinations of roles in 4P multiplayer. You must clean out the whole level for it to count.

Why not play with all the combinations of players in Steam?

[ChevyNoel]

- Slay x number of the bunny hop NPCs in one shot.
- Kill, clean, or knock out four or five guards who are on their way to turn a power generator back on.
- Wrench a piano.
- Trip a gun laser without being hit by the resulting bullets. (possibly a few times in a row)
- Help a friend lose heat by bumping an attacking guard, then successfully hide.
- Use an alarm as a diversion, to lure a guard away from something you want.
- Gain hostility from at least three guards so a friend can sneak in and steal everything they were guarding.
- Kill, clean, or knock out every dog on a floor, without doing anything to human NPCs.
- Let the guy, who is always busy typing, finally catch you.

I'm sure many of these wouldn't be worth figuring out how to implement in the current system.

[Kexikus]

I don't like those do *** X times too. But if you want to include this kind of achievements, there should be versions for all characters.

But I really like the "Hold the Elevator" idea and the ideas of Dugrobach, Magician, Jeremy Avalon and ChevyNoel.

Some other ideas:
- Escape a level with less than 10%/25% hp while being under attack.
- Hold open a bush/ladder for a friend who is being chased.
