Is it really that hard to implement achievements into d2r PC blizzard? I still see this as pure laziness because consoles have them for D2R. Basicly every freaking game has them. But not such great game as D2R. What a shame. There could be so many interesting ones.

Agreed, Those were a big part of games like Wc3.
There are many easy ones to go with D2.
What does the consoles have exactly?

They have all this lol? I thought its just few.
why??
we got ladder race for that, its not some other mmo or fps game where achievements and rewards are use
its a good old hack and slash d3 got them diablo immortal has them and d4 is gonna have them, why do we have to change a loved and good game with unnessesary changes that is useless
Why do you even ask why lol? Even most simpliest games have them. Why? Because its fun to complete them.

Achievements… Something that’s “there” to works towards. A “list”. Something that has been accomplished before by (some of) your peers. A “goal”. A “milestone”.
“Peer pressure” Heh.
it exists on console because console already has an achievement system embedded. neither d2r nor the client have an achievement system. why would we want them to bother creating such a system? just self impose achievements on yourself… thats what the holy grail thing is

I got some achievements for you boys, move out of your parents and get a job
Because game should have it since release already. Blizzard release so few games that that their product should have certain quality and be very polished. Achievements in this age are standard. Game should have them.
Thats not really comparable to achievements. It would be like saying that olympic winners dont need medals and their win doesnt need to be recorded or written down.
People like to compete and show their avhievement to others. That’s humans nature. Also its fun to collect all kind of interesting achievement thats not so easily acomplished.
Speak for yourself. Most community is past that long time with average player age above 30 probably. I have my own flat and work every day 8 hours dude. I had my own flat when I was 20.
why? its a remaster. the original game didn’t have it. theres no pre-existing achievement system to borrow. why should they be inclined to add a feature that you and 2 other people in the community want?
olympics analogy is silly. medals are given to people who are the best. completing an achievement has nothing to do with being the best at anything lmao. do you really need that sense of encouragement for you simply playing through the game? more than half of those listed achievements are completed just by you playing the game normally. the only hard achievements are the 99 achievements.
why should they bother fully implementing this system, knowing the amount of code edits theyre giving to the base game is next to nothing outside of bug fixes and the initial burst of QoL? just seems like you’re wasting your own time
Congrats on living in a flat, now try getting a non flat home. I feels good to be able to walk around inside one, while a flat one id imagine you gotta lay and crawl around
I guess because no one wants to dig the source code, maybe it can be something similar they did for graphics
if blizzard started doing a “what should we implement next”, i would veto achievements every time, because there is always something more interesting and useful to add than achievements lol it is genuinely a waste of development time and resources when we could get endgame level content for the same amount of effort
Because its not two people. Most people like to complete achievements, few are completionists who do allof them. I like to do 100% when game is great.
Ok its remaster so? Other remastered games have have achievements in steam when they didnt before. Having game without it makes its less quality product. Its not game just for og players. Game has many things which should be improved.
No its not, its about achievement being somehow recorded. Medal is just one of the ways.
They should bother because diablo franchise is their brand so they should have high quality product. They dont make a lot of games so their quality is very important for their future. If you make great games which become famous, more people is interested and will buy new game from them. If your product has lesser quality, peopke might not buy it next time.
Where the hell do you live lol that you have to crawl in flat? I dont know whats your sutuations but its quite standard that in my country flats have multiple rooms and you dont have to crawl 
. If you do, i am sad for you mate.
I doubt this is question if its hard or not. I dont think it should be problematic since they did it for consoles. Its more about game being rushed to release also creating other big problems like crashing and other stuff we all remember which happened back then.

consoles already have an achievement system built in, they have to do very little work to make that work, and they are required by contract to have achievements in their games on console. the console company literally pays them to add achievements into the game. on PC, they have to do the entire system from scratch… its a lot of work for little gain
why do you need a page of records of things you’ve done ingame? is having a character screen with a 99 character on it not enough? or it saying matriarch? how about seeing the gold number in your stash being higher than 1 mil, or simply seeing 20 ears in your stash. why does there need to be a collective page of it all in one spot, and why can’t you write that down yourself on your own spreadsheet?
I dont understand why do you keep asking these things, I already explained to you why people like to have achievements and complete them. If they are not so important why they bothered with them to diablo 3? Why 99% of games have them? Because people like them obviously. You might be in small minority of players who dont care. Thats fine, it doesnt mean others are same.
im pretty sure you have it backwards… minority people actively hunt achievements. and im not asking why you need achievements, im asking why the game has to provide it for you. why can’t you keep your own achievements?
to answer your q, “99%” of games have achievements because they’re a natural part of the gaming world now since consoles require them. even if its a pc only game, having achievements that give no rewards only got to “99%” of games because of console design. this game heavily predates that. and you’re the first person i have ever seen vocalizing wanting achievements in d2r.
why does such a system on a relatively dead game have more importance over any other system they could implement?
