Hi ,
Title, I assume achievements will be retroactively tracked for unreversible things such as completing quests/levelling, but will it track things such as holiday event achievements, critters I’ve /hugged or if I’ve slain fools in arathi basin 2000/0 already ?
I’m gonna attempt a 100% achievement completion, so I’m making sure I’m not skipping anything I could do now instead of WOTLK prepatch.
Bye all !
Don’t believe it will.
I think there is an addon called Classic Achievements or something like that to track future achievements in WotLK.
It did not in 2008 at least. I joined the brew of the month club back in 2008, but my first achievement for it is from 2015. There might be exceptions, but for now your safest achievements to do is stuff like quests, weapon skills, exploration, professions and reputation farms.
It is worth noting that dungeon/raid kills appears to have been tracked under some circumstances, but I am not sure what those circumstances are. Checking a few characters I know did certain raids/dungeons back during TBC, the dates they obtained the achievements seem to vary a lot despite all of them having some achievements from the prepatch launch day. The safest bet for dungeons may be to make sure you do the quests for dungeons which require you to kill the end boss, and possibly keep some loot from as many end bosses as possible where there are no quests.
Of course, it could also just be the jankyness of the servers on the prepatch release day back in 2008 causing people to have different dates on basic dungeon achievements like Quagmirran normal/heroic kills.
You are probably aware, but it’s worth noting that achievements were not account wide in WotLK, so you will want to do it all on the same character, and plan to play that character in WotLK.
Edit: I am 99% sure I joind the brew of the month club in 2008 and despite getting credit towards tasting all the monthly brews, I did not get credit for actually joining the club…
Yes and no. Some things like quests, number of honorable kills, reputation, mounts and more that currently is being tracked will carry over. However, some things like event-specific achivements about doing arbitrary things that wouldn’t be tracked, or maybe something like hugging critters most likely isn’t. So there’s reasonably things that you could do, but I’m sure that the BG achivements come blank (except rep, again).
Mainly I think you could go for reputation, titles, rare mounts/event specific items, weapon skills (though no need to get that last point since you’ll gain +10 level in wrath anyway) quests completed and more that obviously will carry over meanwhile.
No it did only track things like reputations and quests done back in the day… I believe holiday stuff was not tracked and battleground stuff not in the slightest. Just some exceptions which got tracked.
Depends.
Old PvP titles definitely were and you were awarded achievement for it when achievements were added to the game.
One one hand we have game build on Shadowlands engine, that has all the achievements, transmog, and mount/pet collection functions, it seems as if they are just turned off. You can notice that our progress is tracked outside the game by looking at forum avatars. Every time we log out and in on this site our avatars get updated.
Why don’t we have TBC armory then? IDK, maybe they need extra work to split Classic armory from retail one and at this point just don’t want to dedicate their recources into making it.
On the other hand some would prefer Achievements in order that they were introduced in Wrath. So no retrospectives.
Yes but that’s feat of strength not actual achievements for points. I am talking about “win 100 alterac valley” and such for the battlemaster title. Things like 100k kills obviously carry over too as it’s already set in stone just like reputations.
