Two New Achievements Coming to Mythic+

Greetings!

With the release of patch 12.0.5, we’re introducing two new achievements for players pushing the upper limits of Mythic+: Keystone Myth and Umbral Champion: Midnight Season One.

If you’ve already completed the existing milestones and are looking for additional goals to pursue, Keystone Myth and Umbral Champion are intended to offer that next step.

Keystone Myth

Upon reaching 3400 Mythic+ rating, players will earn a Timelost Saddle (earned once per warband per season). This item can be brought to Lindormi in Silvermoon or the Timeways, where it can be exchanged for a mount of your choice from a curated selection. This includes Keystone Master and Keystone Legend mounts from previous seasons, as well as all new mounts being added to the pool.

We want to give dedicated Mythic+ players something that continues to feel rewarding over time, while also creating a path to revisit some older rewards you may have missed along the way.

Keystone Myth will launch with a 3400 rating requirement, but we do not expect that threshold to remain fixed forever. Mythic+ evolves from season to season, and we want this achievement to continue to represent a similar level of difficulty and prestige each time. Because of that, we may adjust the rating requirement in future seasons.

Umbral Champion

With the close of Midnight Season One, players in the top 1% of Mythic+ rating will qualify for a new achievement, Umbral Champion, and be awarded a new exclusive mount.

We’re looking forward to seeing how far you can push your keystones!

Great.

More FOMO for the 1%s.

lmao.

Oh right. And rewarding Meta Chasing.

Can you. Stop doing that. Get rid of FOMO, stop enforcing it.

Cool. Awarding the meta classes with a mount. How wonderful.

Can we get some help for the specs that are falling behind before announcing stuff like this?

More rewards for the smallest percentage of players who don’t pug.

it’s not FOMO

the rewards for getting 3400 are essentially evergreen, meaning you can do them every season going forward.

Also, people need to stop calling things they can’t get or have “fomo”–that isn’t what that freakin word means.

ugh, Blizzard, why do you keep pushing this system so hard?

The game is sweaty enough as it is.

Was fine with the 3400, as that’s achievable by everyone. The 1%…. ugh. No.

So, there’s no incentive to play in this range more than once? What happened to improving the M+ vault past 10s so that there was at least an incentive to run keys in these ranges? This is going to run dry for players very fast. Keystone Legend already hits this issue where there’s genuinely no incentive to play in the 12 and 13 range, this is going to be many times worse.

“These exceptions represent a very limited subset of skill-intensive, limited-time rewards that we feel are consistent with the precedent set in Pandaria Remix.” Suddenly these skill-intensive, limited-time rewards aren’t so limited time again, eh?

You just talked about how you would adjust the rating requirement to maintain difficulty on the other achievement. Why not set a rating, and do the same thing here? I believe this is the first time we’ve had a %locked mount in the game since Warlords of Draenor, not a great call.

I don’t think it’s a good idea to have a mount locked to top 1%, UNLESS it will be purchasable with the Timelost Saddle in future seasons (either next season or next expansion).

But I do very much enjoy a Vicious Saddle like system for M+ mounts :slight_smile:

These rewards are going to make the meta chasing culture even worse.

How about making it so myth track gear drops from 15+ and up

Great people been asking for higher rewards for M+ that aren’t just titles. But doing the top 0.1% or 1% is still not recognizing that the balance at the top is skewed, M+ top % should be spec based to give every spec a better way to get it.

Yeah otherwise these super duper exclusive rewards are only gonna be achievable by those also dipping in mythic raids, as nobody with m+ only can ever reach those ilvls.

Do you seriously think that 1% mount is going to be available to the public after this season ends?

Oh right and the unique title as well.

Pretty sure when they’re eventually removed and don’t come back it’s FOMO.

Man I can’t wait to explain the basics of gladiator mounts at you. I need a brick wall to echo off of.

lmao.
