[0.17.1] Settings - Other Settings - Delete achievements: Wording

Post by Melerion »

May I suggest changing the wording from
"Delete achievements"
to
"Reset achievements"?

The current implies that once deleted they will be gone forever and cannot be regained. But that would be silly, won't it?

I'd much rather keep the delete word. Reset sounds like it could be some sort of trouble-shooting step, not that it would remove all of your achievements. Delete is the right word for something like that. It has the appropriate extreme sound to it.

Maybe "Clear?"

I think clear is a better option than reset. Maybe with an appropriate confirmation box (something like one of the boxes that actually requires you to type something into it)? I'm just far more concerned about someone nuking their achievements on accident than I am about someone trying to actually delete all game achievements and thinking that they will never be achievable again. The latter sounds like something real bizarre. Who would even put an option in a game to permanently delete not only the achievements you have, but the ability to ever regain them?
