Help identifying achievements to strive for?

There are so many achievements, it's daunting to try to sift through them and identify those that are relevant to your current skill set. (I don't think I've really looked at that listing till today.)

There IS something fun about just being surprised by an achievement when you weren't trying to do anything in particular, so maybe nothing should be changed here. And I get that these are different from the rock quests... I think of those as being in part to show you a particular feature of the game. (Although you do usually get a new quest as soon as you get a new skill, so they're a little related.)

But I'm wondering even about an ability to sort the achievements by the related skills... these are plant-related things, these are animal-related things, these are element-related things, etc.

And more strongly, I wonder about a mini-me rock that would have not-quite-quests, but highlight achievements that one is close(st) to completing. This could potentially help, too, when one doesn't have any quests and feels like they don't know what to work on next.

  • To wit: grouping achievements in the encyclopedia page by skill group, and order of difficulty, so it's easy to look for what should happens next.

    or maybe even making the achievements section in profile pages like the skills page -- group the achievements according to their skill-related-ness and difficulty, and gray out those that haven't been achieved yet.

  • I'd definitely like a way to see all achievements possible with the ones I already have somehow indicated. Perhaps a light blue background (like at the top of this text editor I'm using on this page) to go behind achievements you have? That's something subtle and hopefully easy.

    Keep up the good work!

  • There's a greasemonkey script for that, Ein :)

    It's the Achievements Checker on this page: http://beta.glitch.com/forum/general/3040.

    That aside, I think a TS implemented version of this would be great!

  • I fully agree that listing them alphabetically is not the best.

  • Having them grouped by skill type would be ideal. Alphabetical order doesn't do a whole lot when you're looking for a type of achievement, but don't necessarily know what its name is. Especially since the achievements are named so colorfully.
