Diablo 3 users experiencing Achievement issues
Some Diablo 3 players are reporting missing Achievements. Blizzard blames this on server overload, and says the achievements aren't deleted, just not coming back from the server fast enough to display.
Diablo 3 launched to a bit of a snag, as a massive glut of players led to overloaded servers and network problems. While those issues seem mostly resolved, some users are reporting missing Achievements as well.
An extensive Blizzard forum post has several users complaining about missing achievements. A reply from the QA department attributes this to server issues. "The achievements server in particular is being hammered, which may be why your achievements are not showing up," he said. "It is not that they are deleted, but that there is a (very long) delay in retrieving that data." Blizzard is said to be working on the problem.
Players are still complaining about missing achievements, and some users have still reported server problems in general today. If your achievements are MIA, though, it sounds like the game still remembers what you've accomplished and you'll get them all back once the servers are a bit less overloaded.

I think their excuse is bullshit. I am getting achievements instantly but I am still missing all of the ones gained on launch day. I have gone back and got those achievements again without issue.
-
I also lost all my achieves from launch day but since their emergency release yesterday evening everything is fine and I went back and redid everything too.
-
Fuck that. I only went back to get a few. Waiting for them to fix it.

This happened to me. I don't really give a shit or anything, but I don't know how I can redo the "get the blacksmith achievement", since I have him now.

You can always do a quick restart of the early missions, and then go back to the later missions.

They are fighting piracy by implementing countermeasures that punish legitimate customer

22 hours of playing since launch tells me otherwise. These posts are dumb as fuck.

You must either be playing on the Europe or the Asian servers because the US servers haven't had the greatest up time. Yesterday was a complete crap-shoot if the servers would stay on and then kept doing maintenance every other hour. They shut off the servers more than once for an hour or more.
Today was somewhat better but even as I type this they are doing yet another restart.

They're fun. I don't often go actively looking to achieve them, unless some kind of progress indicator pops up. Then my CDO (That's OCD with the letters in the correct order, as they should be) kicks in and I feel compelled to complete them (because I want to). I also just love it when something unexpected pops up (that's what she said) and I find out I did something unique. Such as finish level 1.

I like achievements as long as they're platform based. Steam/360, etc. It helps me see what games my friends liked / didn't like. I can see how far they got and how obsessed. It helps me recommend games to them.

Oh yes, I'm sure. It's a documented problem and is addressed in the official apology as "we're looking into it."
According to my achievements I've finished Act 1 but I've never killed the skeleton king, and I've upgraded my smith but never acquired him. And every time I log in and salvage something I get the salvage achievement. Working as intended!

I noticed this issue yesterday on the EU server (achievements) whereas a friend of mine kept earning them and they would show up in the bottom right of my screen. However today I have been playing on the US server and everything is working fine.
