Break a Leg Achievement (DISCUSSION)

(1/4) > >>

killermonkey:
Is the break a leg achievement too difficult / convoluted?

Post your thoughts. How can we make this better?

"Kill 50 people with only leg shots (killed with > 50% health)"

The description might be a little misleading. What it means is you need to take at least 50% of the player's max health value away using only shots to the legs and bring them to death.

Proxie:
I actually farmed the achievement with a bunch of OWS guys the first day beta 4 came out so I can't speak from true experience, I think you could lower it down to 25 kills and it would be much easier for newer players to get.

killermonkey:
On a side note, now that we have excellent data to work off of from WnX HLStatsX I am realigning some of our achievement goals so that they fall better on this list:

http://www.ges-stats.com/hlstats.php?mode=achievements&game=ges

Basically (Secret Agents) shouldn't be near the bottom, but near the middle, so I am adjusting the amounts required for those that are. Also, some achievements are simply just too hard to get like Break a Leg and Through The Fire and Flames. So I am investigating how to fix them to move those near the middle. Not to mention that "You Can't Win" has been fixed in v4.1

When I first saw the criteria for Break a Leg I thought it seemed excessive... 'cause it is.

coolDisguise:
Since most weapons do barely any damage on leg hits I trained myself to try it only with the silver PP7 or the moonraker laser - especially helpful if there is a door or some glass between you and your victim.
Any other attempts are bound to fail since even new players knowing nothing about the crosshair will eventually kill you sooner or later while you're trying to shoot their legs only - or they'll be closing in on you because they don't hit you making you shoot their waist by accident.
That stated: yes, it's kinda tedious and I've got Scaramanga's Pride along with Shaken, But Not Disturbed (00 Agent) in a MWGG match way before Break A Leg (I'm actually not even sure if I've got it yet).
I propose: having other conditions like "just hitting" a leg but since it's "payback time" playing Valentin shooting Bond. Would make it easier because it's just to hit but at the same time it's a little more tricky (not as tricky as now, of course) by having additional conditions.

EDIT:
It's sad the WNx Page show only those achievement tracked by their own servers and after Beta 4. Since I've got most stuff before Beta 4 and Scaramanga's Pride and Shaken, But Not Disturbed on another server it makes me sad I'd have to do these all over again if I wanted them to show up on the achievement tab. (I guess these two are the most difficult to obtain along with Domino Effect)
