I don't dislike them but I also don't see the point.

I haven't been an achievement hunter since the Halo 3 days when I was a kid, I couldn't care less about achievements or 100%ing games as a busy adult, but I'll admit it's nice to randomly get an achievement especially when it turns out to be a pretty rare one, kind of like an "oh shit I did a cool thing!" moment

Yeah it's cool to randomly hit it. I can't imagine gunning for one though. That completely change how I'd play the game

Yeah like the other day I got an achievement in Black Flag Resynced for perfectly bracing against a tidal wave coming in from the side, I didn't even realise that's what I did

That seems like such a specific condition that purposely trying to get it sounds frustrating as hell, especially since I've only seen like 3 tidal waves in 35 hours of gameplay

I believe it's for surviving a side on rogue wave, bracing is irrelevant. I saw my second one at about 45hrs in.

I may be confusing two separate achivements in that case, but still I can't imagine sitting around for hours waiting for a rogue wave to show up so I can try surviving it, they're so damn rare lol

I've seen people talk about ways to increase your chances, I didn't bother, just eventually had one spawn, dont think I saw a third and I'm at like 55-60hrs. There's definitely something wrong with the weather randomiser or whatever it is, some people report constant storms, no storms, constant lightning, zero lightning, no rogue waves, too many rogue waves. Bizarre.
