I wanted to express my concern with No death achievements becoming the norm with new content. I wasn't too concerned when they introduced them with Vet Crypt of Hearts and Vet City of Ash because it was challenging but I do have a problem now that it has been added for single player content and trials. For the above average player going several hours in Vet maelstrom arena without dieing is very difficult if not impossible. It's even difficult for the 1% because one small mistake and it's all over not to mention the fact of RNG in some of the fights that require conditions to be just right for you to survive. It isn't just a simple learn to play issue, which has a little to do with it, but the fact that RNG shouldn't be a factor when it comes to achievements like this and I don't believe there should be such a difficult achievement that takes hours to even attempt. As a completionist I find it infuriating trying to get achievements like this and not fun at all. At the end of the day a game should feel fun not like I'm banging my head against a wall over and over trying to get to the light at the end of tunnel and every time I get close it's taken away by a simple slip.

agree.

Achivments should be hard to make.
I know that i will NEVER get some, but i admire players who can reach them.

DONT NERF EVERYTHING!

Cambridge dictionary:

Achievement:
-something very good and difficult that you have succeeded in doing

"I died" + "Must be RNG" = "L2P"

No nerfs please.
There should be at least some challenge. And achivement that is instantly given to anyone is worthless anyway.

I don't see the problem. Because you are a completionist, you feel entitled to get it ?

I am a completionist. I'll never get Emperor or the No Death VMA. So what ?

Sad thread is sad.

There are quite a few Achievements I may never get. Know what, I am glad they are there.

Honestly I think there should be more hard to get achievements like these that give cool little rewards, I personally have the flawless conqueror title on all of my VR16's and rock it proud.

How to fix vMA.

After completing each round, you receive a check mark for that stage. You now do not need to complete the entire arena in one sitting, without any deaths. You just need to complete each individual stage without dying. This will make Flawless C much more obtainable and less of a "haha look at me im better then you" kind of thing. When in reality the people with this title have spent 100's of hours trying to get it for this vary reason.

I personally will probably attempt to get Flawless C. I just need to learn vMA first. It does give me a set goal... all though the goal I think is a little pretentious.

I started doing maelstrom arena 3 weeks ago. Maybe I have done it 25 times. Today I did arena with 1 death, and that is with a stamina melee DK.
Just saying.

what xantaria said,
why does it bother you there are achivmeents like this, just because you can't get them doesn't mean someone else can't. it's something good to work for.

it's hard to get for a reason

I feel like doing that will destroy the titles value. Just because you cant get the title doesn't mean that people who have are saying "haha look at me im better then you". Its a hard title to get and just shows your dedication toward getting it, not that you are better than anyone.

I must be the luckiest guy on earth considering I've had many flawless runs on my stam DK...while streaming on twitch... during prime time hours...

I have a full-time job, a wife, and attend grad school 3x/wk. Man, I guess the old saying is true: "I'd rather be lucky than good".

At least now I know that I don't have to practice content, with how lucky I am and all...
