We can uncheck messages from most any channel including system. Can you add Host to that so we can ignore the achievement spamming?

Does it show you other pilot's achievements?  Or is it that you're accomplishing so many achievements in your flying that it's clogging up the buffer?

There is enough going on without seeing this spamming. I can see where it would maybe thrill someone brand new to AH but it is irritating to others.

I would appreciate a way to turn it off or opt out.

I think after the first few days of flying you'll have caught all the easy ones. Seeing as you won't be bother to go for any others the pop ups will be few and far between.

Some of the Achievements are interesting, more like mile markers on a trail. Maybe you could go through the long list of achievements and mark the ones you are after and then you are only notified when you hit those marks. As an example, after my first landing I was notified I had joined the 1,000 point club for having over 1,000 perks [who cares.] Or landed a damaged plane, so 'kiss the ground' achievement, [again, who cares.] Now, when I pop the 20th P-51 or whatever the threshold is I would find that interesting.

Just my two cents.

I like the achievements, only maybe not so many. A few silly ones are good to keep it light.

And yet Shuffler's only asking for a way to turn them off...

Why not make this an option?

The host notice is what he is talking about.   First time I hit a Vbase i got all the stupid little notices of ord kill, barrack kill, radar kill.. etc  the descriptions made me laugh.  Almost like playing mafia wars or something.

I know squelch 1 hides the silly <S> overload that occasionally goes on, wonder if that would work.
Checking.....

.... squelching channel 1 does not hide achievement messages.

Far too many, if not most, people on this Board post just to say something opposed to posting when they have something to say.
