I can confirm this. Same goes for the cap 2 flags and defend 2 flags in 1 match I think.

There are more such pvp achievements, but in common for all those is that they clearly say "Do this, this and that. In a single battle."

I think using the current achievement tracking that it would be clunky to implement it. Which is why I'm hoping they'll expand it.

True but it can't be that much difference. I'm saying that the tech is there, even if they didn't use it yet. This isn't going to be a show stopper if they do decide to implement that sort of achievement tracking.

I'm surprised they didn't use itemization to be the difference between 10 and 25 man loot.
They've already used this method with iLvl200 epics to make sure Naxx items are better than heroic/rep ones.
Nearly every Naxx item has 1 extra stat on it and are upgrades to the heroic/rep ones. (This is from my experience with feral loot admittedly)
Min/max-ers would still go for the best items, which would be 25man, but you'll have less of a performance difference and hopefully no issues about iLvl's and achievements as the outgearing issues would be lesser.
It would be in line with their statement about having a viable 10 man progession path.

For perspective, I'm in a guild that does 10man on our own and 25man in an alliance of 4 guilds that has been around since MC.
Don't get me wrong, we're very much happier with the amount of 10man raiding we can do in WotLK, but if there was a leveller playing field on iLvl (plus a more comparable selection of items), we would focus on it even more.

Any advice for Industrial Warfare post 3.1?
You cant kill your own Workshops anymore seems so.

Ja7us · 04/25/09, 6:44 AM

Aren't the workshops in the keep still attackable when you're on offense? That seems like it would be the time to do it.

Did they change the counting method on 40 exalted factions achievement?

I just noticed that while I currently only have 35 factions at exalted, it shows 36. That last one would probably be the oracles from sholazaar basin (I recently abandoned them for the frenzyhearts...)

I believe they fixed the bug with Alliance Vanguard and Horde Expedition factions not counting toward the achievement. I say this because I've only ever been exalted with Oracles and earned my 40 Exalted Reputations achievement as soon as I logged in after patch. The only reputation I had exalted that wasn't being counted was Alliance Vanguard.

Well, either that, or Shattrath Divided, which you have, behaves the same way. That would match up with the count of someone on my realm, which has both of those achievements.

Shattrath Divided is just for being exalted with one or the other. Hero of Shattrath, the Feat of Strength, is what you'd have if you were exalted with both at one point in time. I was exalted with Aldor and exalted with Scryer at one point, but it was before the achievement system was released. I doubt it is due to the Aldor/Scryer switch. If it is, then they should be able to credit Hero of Shattrath to anyone who had made the switch prior to patch 3.0.

I can confirm that insane in the membrane is completable currently without having all the reputations at the same time. Hence similar to the Hero of Shattrath feat you can raise bloodsail rep and then destroy it without worrying or vice versa raise your goblins rep and then destroy it.

I received this feat via destroying my goblins exalted reputation and completing my final rep (bloodsail honoured). I have still not finished regrinding the goblins rep so my armory should reflect this. There was a lot of debate on US achievement forums after I posted this change whether it was a bug or not and recently a blue post on the bug reports forum has confirmed this indeed is not a bug (here). While this was not how it worked on the PTR it certainly seems to be working this way on live servers currently.

I dinged insane last week when the faire went live. My rep with bloodsail was honored from ages ago, so I put myself at friendly just to test this out, hit exalted with darkmoon, and didn't insane. I had to raise my bloodsail rep back to honored (single booty bay kill) in order to get the achievement. Video proof here:

YouTube - I can has Insane

Not sure what you encountered, but at the very least, the bug doesn't seem to be universal.

(Or the bug has something to do with the rhythm of the patches. Either being reintroduced by incidental bug fixes or is actually because of minor patches/realm restarts themselves.)

lintelotiel · 05/09/09, 8:36 PM

Question: were you honoured with bloodsail after 3.1 hit or only sometime ages ago? It wasn't tracked until the recent patch so if you had already ground out goblins and destroyed your bloodsail rep before the patch it wouldn't have remembered you had it...

Kambing · 05/10/09, 1:16 AM

I was honored with bloodsail starting about two months ago up until last Saturday (5/2), so post-3.1 recall shouldn't be an issue.

In 3.1.2 Fool For Love - Achievement - World of Warcraft has been changed again, removing the Lovely Luck is on Your Side (black dress achievement). Funnily enough it caused me to get the meta only now, since originally I had 6/8 candies but no dress, so I did not get it with 3.1 changes either.
