I don't think ArmorGames is inturested in opening up game achievements. The reason is, NewGrounds and Kongregate already does that. Even if it would seem like a step up, it would make ArmorGames too similar to both those sites.

There is a thread already like this... I agree with NoName it would make armorgames like those other sites.

inturested

[quote(Not commenting your spelling mistake) Armorgames has shown no interest in the idea. There are multiple reasons, and the first is one that will very likely arise:

People will say and think that Armorgames is copying. It may result in a serious rise of flaming on the site and some users may leave because it seems like Armorgames is cheap. Other users may join, but the point is that Armorgames should make everyone happy, and not some happy, some angry and some newbies coming because of the achievements. Rather a small, cheerful crowd than an angry mob, right?

The other main reason is game hacking: So far, hacking is probably very low on Armorgames. The reason is that there is no benefit in hacking games here except for yourself, as you get no highscore and no points for doing it. If we had achievements, then hackers would suddenly become interested in the site and contaminate the web site. Trust me, take many of the Kongregate leader boards for example: A lot of scores are higher than possible or are Pi.

So no, we don't want it, and it seems like the admins don't either.[/quote]


I agree.

Sorry I was quoting to unlimited

People will say and think that Armorgames is copying.

Both Newgrounds, and Kongregate have them. Who else thinks it is time for Armor Games to step up to the plate?

Deeforlife, we are trying to be original here.

In a way, there are already medals. Things like the bronze, silver and gold icons could be considered medals. And why should one person make a good idea then everyone else copies it? If you want achievements, go to NewGrounds or Kongregate

Why do u need achievements here?
I think we don't really need them.
The thing that make A.G really special, if compared to the others flash game site, is that it isn't a real competition site.
It's more like a "games reviews site" and this made A.G totally different as concept.
The site is structured in the easiest and functional way and it give to us all the competition we need with the rating system... if u really need a competiton I mean... btw maybe the only things that can make A.G better than this, MAYBE, are one or two multiplayer game... or maybe an edit's option for the forum posts
Sorry for my eng dudes, it's late night here and I'm relly tired xD

I think that the AP and those hat things with gold/silver/wood block behind it is enough.

Evilmonkry, those are called ranks. And they are enough.

think its good that AG does there own thing and dont copy konregate and newgrounds. i thnik its fine the way it is

Good the way it is

I agree getting achievements or medals in Armor Games would be insanely cool.

Well I think it would stop assholes rating every game they come across for points.
