Obtaining the Hall of Fame: Gallywix Achievement

How about you fix the actual issues?

This has been beyond a total clownfiesta this time round, how can you justify any of the following:

  • Changing requirements mid season
  • Requiring guilds to reclear bosses they have already killed
  • Some guilds unable to trigger achievement even after reclearing
  • Changing requirements again mid season allowing guilds to get HoF without reclearing
  • Manually adding a small group of guilds without the requirement to reclear
  • Missing guilds who finished the raid before the small group of guilds who were manually added
  • Granting the HoF achievement to an incorrect, inactive guild (Wait for It/WaĂ­t for It)
  • Once again keeping the hall of fame open way beyond the top 200 guilds
  • Due to all of the above, the rankings on the HoF page are seriously skewed compared to the actual world ranks, and some guilds between rank 120-140 are just not going to be there at all

I’ve probably missed a whole bunch of stuff, but this was a serious blunder from Blizzard all for the sake of “solving” an issue of one singular guild buying a lockout and has completely ruined the integrity of the Hall of Fame (or what was left of it after last season)

What do you intend to do to rectify the Undermine hall of fame rankings?

I originally created this thread under the Technical Support section of the forum.

At the time that a Blizzard employee responded to the thread, they also moved it to the Customer Support section of the forum.

They have now forcibly closed the thread as “this is not an issue that Customer Support is able to assist with”.

What lingering issue?

On top of it his whole reason for closing it is incorrect. The right hand doesn’t know that the left hand is doing.

My guild killed Mythic Gallywix yesterday before the ID reset, but we didn’t get the Hall of Fame achievement because of this hotfix mess?

3 of our healers are unavailable this week due to holidays. So we cleared the raid already, but now we’re being punished for not re-clearing it? That’s really disappointing/sad.

I’ve already seen that some guilds had the achievement manually added — even one that had been inactive for years. :dracthyr_lulmao:

That’s the joke and irony of it .hopefully somebody tells the gm of this inactive guild so that they can leave ffxiv and come back to wow lol

I don’t typically partake in forums discussions but this situation, if I have understood it correctly, is rubbing me the wrong way.

My understanding:
Despite us being in the first 200 guilds in the world to kill OAB, Mug’Zee and Gally , we will not be awarded the hall of fame achievement. This is because Blizzard changed the rules between our Mug’zee kill and Gallywix kill.

My guild, like many others, is on break until after the deadline of the 7th of may. As a results of this, none of us will be awarded the achievement despite having earned it.

The resulting conclusion:
If my understanding is correct, this shows a fairly significant lack of respect for people’s time and effort. A good number of the people raiding in the top 200 guilds took time off of work/friends/family during progression to attempt to get this achievement and did in fact earn it.

There is no reason that staff at blizzard cannot either fix the issue OR manually award the achievement to guilds who have earned it (There are only 200 guilds to deal with). There are plenty of other reliable data sources such as raiderio and Warcraft logs that blizzard can use to verify a guild’s progression.

If the issue cannot be fixed, undo the update, revert to an earlier version of the system and fix it before sending it.

Lastly, when you frustrate your players base and just sit back in total silence and refuse to provide an explanation as to why you cannot implement any of the aforementioned solutions, you dishearten you player base and make everybody feel disrespected. There is no need for any of this.

I am very disappointed how this is being handled.

My guild, Competence Optional - Twisting Nether has defeated every boss legitimately, ending with a Gallywix kill on the 24th of April, ending with a ranking of #174 according to raiderio.

Some guilds were manually added, that have not raided when they have received the achievement and also have not recleared?

Why are some guilds being added manually? Why are others not? Why do some guilds have to reclear and potentially miss Hall of Fame even though they fulfill the requirements?

E: We have obtained the achievement and title after reclearing, so at least that worked for us

Dear all,

I want to add additional information here. Our guild “Suspicion-Ysondre” killed Galliwyx top 199 following Raider io, it was on last ID so we deserve the Hall of Fame.

We knew that there was a bug linked to the achievment and even if we were not added manually, we needed to kill OAB and/or Mugzee to obtain it.

Yesterday, before the raid i checked the discord RLE to see that a random EU guild “Mental Exiles” killed Galliwyx TOP 202 obtain the Hall of Fame Achievment killing OAB, it was a great news for us as we will have just to kill one boss to obtain the HOF.

Unfortunately, when we have killed OAB with our guild, we didn’t obtain it which seems weird.

To sum up

Mental Exiles

Top 204 // Kill OAB again => HOF

Above Average

Top 224 // Kill OAB again=> HOF

Suspicion (Our guild)

Top 199 // Kill OAB again => NO HOF

Larme de Hades (Other guild)

Top 226 // Kill OAB again => NO HOF

I want to understand the logic here because

  • we don’t get the achievment of HOF killing Gallywix => OK it could be issue, we could be add manually but let’s reclear, we have one week added by Blizzard

  • We kill OAB and don’t get HOF => Ok we may need Mugzee too

  • We see some guilds having HOF killing OAB => ???

We have tried some request to Blizzard but we are just forwarded to Bug issue request for which we wont have any reply.

We just need to understand please. We are long time players making effort and we don’t have the reward we deserve.

It’s even worse than this. We’ve re-cleared after their change of the achievement. Killed all 3 bosses after and didn’t get into the HOF so even if you let’s say could raid this reset and re-clear everything might still not get the title.

this is a sh1t show :dracthyr_lulmao:

we need an emergency wowhead post on this, that smth is happening probably

Would like to add that our guild (RCG-Kazzak EU) has the same issue: https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/hall-of-fame-not-awarded-despite-killing-all-3-after-hotfix/2101037

We have not received our Hall of Fame (RCG-Kazzak (EU)), killed Gallywix WR 211 on Raiderio and re-killed Bandit following reset and that was the only boss we missed after the hotfix, Mug’zee was killed 1 day into the hotfix and no achievement popped.

So this hotfix was pushed 13 days ago. Your post was published April 23rd @ 00:32.
We killed Mug’zee on April 23rd @ 23:29 CET
We killed Gallywix on April 30th @ 22:14 CET
We rekilled One Armed Bandit on May 4th @ 21:30 CET

Every kill you mentioned we had to do was after the hotfix. We still didn’t get the Hall of Fame achievement.
Guild name is: Albino Toilet Boys - Kazzak EU

Could you please look into it and reply if we’ll ever see the achievement or our 2 months of dedicated hard work was in vain because you had a bug in your code?
Dedicating so much time to get a feats of strength achievement only to be held back by Blizzard bugs is not going to keep players interested in playing for long.

It is actually disgusting how an Multi Million dollar company has a resources for a CEO’s yacht and not for an intern who can do 45 minutes of manual work and see the kill dates and data connected to the kill. When you are so incompetent that your “fix” to the issue is to “JuSt Do It AgAiN”. I have no words, costumer support are bunch of AI’s until a person comes who clearly don’t have the knowledge of how Hall of Fame works, as they legit said top 200 guilds killed and it’s closed. One big joke that is. Next big joke is attention given to mount farmers/pet battlers on these forums while top guilds get 0 recognition for an issue that was caused by not knowing how to fix the simplest issue. And lastly the biggest joke of them all is that even when you apply the “fix” that you have give us to “JuSt Do It AgAiN” you STILL don’t get the Hall of Fame title.

I guess we just have to wait until some news about breast milk stealing from the fridge or another lawsuit pops out and then we can finally stop playing this game at high level and focus more on what matters to the devs aka lore talk/mount farming/transmog collecting you name it.

There are guilds who are world rank 300 and are getting the achievement right now while there are top 250 guilds who did everything you guys wrote in your blue post and still don’t have the FotS.

Hello Blizzard support.
We’re Dark Brotherhþod - Nemesis - EU and we killed galliwix the 5th of May.
We didn’t get the HoF achi even if we killed bandit/mugzee and Galliwix unlike several other guilds with the same raid progression or even after ( f.e. No Hard Feelings - Silvermoon -EU).
Please fix this issue for all the guilds in the same situation.
I guess is quite messy that other groups got the achi even if they killed the boss after us.
Thanks
