[Achievement] Available in Every Color

just not in every account.

Seriously, why isnt this Meta-Achievement account wide? Blizzard you want us to take every single alt to Mechagon?
Farm every single drop?
Until the end of time?

Kell is my main, but my Tinker (9.0) well be a dwarf or gnome, so therefore blue would be best.

Would be nice to have a color correct mount to start with.

Can’t you target a color?

The achievement is more likely to become account-wide in 9.0 than Tinkers are to become a class.

You can. But the drops are apparently worse than Blueprints. Again, grind it per alt?
After taking my Tinker through 1-110, or what level this level squish does.

It should be account wide now.

I contacted a GM about this and they told me “Working as intended” so yes they expect you to farm those colors on every single alt you have. Yet another game mechanic being determined by “hours logged in metric” rather than “The only metric we care about is fun!”

Ah. I see what you mean. Well, hopefully they relax this. Color is important to a Character, and I don’t see that it is such a prestigious accomplishment that it shouldn’t be account-wide.

Good luck to you, and I hope they change it.

Maybe i’m in the minority here, but I like that it is character specific, it makes me feel more attached to it on certain characters.

I agree for most things; but colors add to the depth of the identity you are assigning your character. I almost regard it on the level of character customization.

If you do go that path, then it should be a targetable item then - something of an accomplishment, not a “hey, the pictures lined up and it payed out!” meaningless rng event.

Since they did code it as an rng event, I think they should open this one up. Other things, like anything that gives advantage, etc - yes, keep character specific.

Mechagon and Nazjatar progression are completely against any kind of alt development.

Of the bunch of achievements they added for both zones only one of them is account wide, every other achievement requires a crapton of time to attain, all in 1 character.

I am not going to say it is a bad thing they are trying to apply a different philosophy, but ffs if they are going to walk this path please make classes more enjoyable.

The reason why I have so many 120s is because classes are barely bearable, now that I am bound to one character to work on the new achievements I feel uncomfortable playing a class that lose its shine after 3 days.

they are literally already in game with abilities and races that can be them. seems pretty likely they will be at some point.

Bold of you to assume tinkers are confirmed or an inevitability.

Allied races are the new hotness.

Bold of anyone to assume otherwise.

I ceased to care about the mechanocat as soon as I unlocked flying. I don’t intend to ever use it…

An allied race introducing a new class would be pretty interesting. I think it’s more likely to be a new class for existing races.

However, my money is on 9.0 allowing DK classes for every race due to what I think (Hope) is the theme of the next expansion: death and void. If not this, perhaps dark ranger or necromancer. Tinkering seems a bit too niche, given that I don’t recall any instance of them so heavily implied before mechagon.

I got red-blue and bronze (looks purple-y) so I’m good with my cat’s colors.

I’ll ride him in BGs I guess.
