    I totally agree there should be hard and superhard achievements, though it doesn't have to be that "Play X hours constantly" stuff.  If the data suggests the Reserve stuff frustrates Skylords away from the game, it's the right move to remove them.
    But as we have seen on the "Force of Nature" patch, achievements can revitalize interest pretty strongly.

    There could be also some harder archivements.

    Dont nerf achivments based on "frustration" balance them only by seing if its doable or not! i have all the new achivments and can confirm they are indeed dooable, it takes all the credit away from completing them, if they are easy.  Sure ppl are going to cry about it, just like im doing but opposite, its natural, and its also natural for achivments to mean something, and be hard to ACHIVE.

    Patch #400036
    Welcome to our newest patch. This update contains a follow-up to our larger patch earlier in the month with new achievements and changes to existing achievements. 

    General Changes
    Added notificaton when all gold chests have been opened. Fixed bug where you could start campaign PvE matches with free PvP decks. Solved numerous smaller textual inconsistencies in the UI. Renamed "Delete all" to "Collect all" in the mail window. Added dialog box that mentions the mails will also be deleted, instead. Removed map seeds from the random PvE map pool known to crash the game. This should solve the issue where a random PvE map crashes on start-up. Faction ability icons are no longer displayed as status effects on a unit to conserve space for non-permanent effects. This includes: Life Stealer (Bandits), Elusive (Amii), Adamant Skin (Stonekin units), and Adamant Alloy (Stonekin buildings).
    New & Existing Achievements
    Skylords Reborn released with a base set of achievements, including 3 achievements which reward players for draining their BFP reserves. Unfortunately, since release we have seen that contrary to encouraging more play, these reserve achievements are actually driving players away from the game. Players will grind many hours in a row to finish all three achievements and in the process completely burn themselves out. Given this situation, we have decided to remove all 3 reserve achievements and replace them with general in-game playtime achievements that the player can complete at their own pace. These new achievements will be available to everyone, even those who previously completed the reserve achievements.
    Sadly, our newest achievements were also not free from issues. "A Wrinkle in Time" caused a lot of confusion with its description and has been updated accordingly. Our new RPvE 10 achievement "Abandon Hope..." has proved to be quite popular, even with brand-new players who attempt it without being properly prepared. This has led to frustration among our more veteran players, who the achievement was meant to help by increasing the RPvE 10 player pool. As such, we have locked the achievement beyond PvE Rank 10, to prevent unprepared players from joining lobbies in hopes of easy boosters. Our Pure Fire achievement "Never Thought of Him" has had a very low completion rate and after talking to players we decided to reduce the restrictions. Now, only the player pursuing the achievement is required to use a Pure Fire deck, instead of the entire team. While not mentioned here, see PvE map changes below, we have made changes to Defending Hope to allow the player to activate Rogan with a building and not just a unit. While the fact Rogan required a unit to be activated was intended to be a fun puzzle-like challenge for the "A City Strongly Compact" achievement, we noticed this caused substantial frustration among players, especially those who were also trying to complete "The Long Journey Home" simultaneously.

    It's a bit tricky because for some factions there are very strong baseline C and UC cards. Yet for others there are key Rs and URs that can really elevate a deck.
    The economical ramifications also have to be kept in mind. Cards that are given out for free will drop in value. Even if you made them account-bound. Now, Cs and UCs aren't as affected because they hover around the baseline established by reforging. Different story for Rs though.

    Current "play faction n times" achievements end at 10 games, and possibly expanding those to include more common and uncommon cards would be cool.
    I am not sure if giving rare cards in such a way is a good idea, though.

    Hello,

    For new players its pretty hard and expensive to get a decent deck, which puts some people off and makes playing some standard difficulty maps a challenge.

    What I am proposing are more Achievements aimed directly at new players.

    for example:

    Play 50 nature cards -> 1x Werebeast
    Play 100 nature cards -> 1x Shaman
    Play 250 nature cards -> 1x Manawing
    Play 500 nature cards -> 1x Grimvine
    Play 1000 nature cards ->1x Deep coil
     
    Play 50 fire cards -> 1x Nomad G
    Play 100 fire cards -> 1x Mortar Tower
    Play 250 fire cards -> 1x Sunderer
    Play 500 fire cards -> 1x  Vulcan
    Play 1000 fire cards -> 1x Magma Fiend
     
    Play 50 shadow cards -> 1x Skeleton Warriors
    Play 100 shadow cards -> 1x Nox Trooper
    Play 250 shadow  cards -> 1x Furnace of flesh
    Play 500 shadow cards -> 1x Ashborn Pyro
    Play 1000 shadow cards -> 1x Overlord
     
    Play 50 frost cards -> 1x Northern Keep R
    Play 100 frost cards -> 1x Frost Mage
    Play 250 frost cards -> 1x War Eagle
    Play 500 frost cards -> 1x Juice Tank
    Play 1000 frost  cards -> 1x Construct
     
    Play 50 bandit cards -> 1x Banditos
    Play 100 bandit  cards -> 1x Commandos B
    Play 250 bandit  cards -> 1x Windhunter
    Play 500 bandit  cards -> 1x Corsair P
    Play 1000 bandit  cards -> 1x Soulhunter B
     
    Play 50 lost cards -> 1x Lost Wanderer G
    Play 100 lost cards -> 1x Lost Dancer R
    Play 250 lost cards -> 1x Lost Reaver P
    Play 500 lost cards -> 1x Lost Horror R
    Play 1000 lost cards -> 1x Lost Dragon G
     
    Play 50 twilight cards -> 1x Slaver P
    Play 100 twilight cards -> 1x Vile Blood G
    Play 250 twilight cards -> 1x Mutating Maniac G
    Play 500 twilight cards -> 1x Tree Fiend G
    Play 1000 twilight cards -> 1x Abomination B
     
    Play 50 stonekin cards -> 1x Stone Hurler R
    Play 100 stonekin cards -> 1x Aggressor G
    Play 250 stonekin cards -> 1x DeepFang R
    Play 500 stonekin cards -> 1x Gemeye G
    Play 1000 stonekin cards -> 1x Grinder P
     
    These are all up for change or debate, I was trying to think of decent cards that aren't too rare or expensive in the marker place, that's why fire dancer, harvester , forest elder, Dreadnaught weren't included although they might make decent 10K cards played achievements (basic not promo). The "Mixed" orb ones are more difficult and rarer although it could be adjusted and have play any of the two orbs.

    Tell me what you think!

    edit: Spelling and better wording
