submitted a ticket and talking to GM now keep you guys posted

umm well update:

we won’t make it from the sounds of it
'm Game Master Adutaggixu and I’ll be the one handling your concern today regarding not being able to place “Love Fool” in Naxxramas. I totally understand how you’re feeling and I get that it can be extremely frustrating as this is a limited time event. I’ve done some investigation and reviewed some other reports regarding the matter, so let’s get right into it!

After further investigation, I’m afraid to say that we did indeed receive multiple reports regarding the incident and our developers are aware of situation and working on a fix to be implemented as soon as possible. We do apologize for the inconvenience.
I’d advise you to submit a bug report on our forums. And if you have any other bugs to report, you can submit a bug report by either going into the in-game ESC menu, select Support, Select Submit feedback or bug report, and last but not least, type out everything that you’ve encountered in a detailed manner to the developers.
As an alternative, you can submit the bug report through the forums at https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/c/support/bug-report/17
What happens next is that our QA team compiles all the instances of a reported bug, and as soon as a bug is confirmed and reproduced on our end, our dev teams start working on it to fix the root cause and make sure it doesn’t happen again.

Until then, some players did find some workarounds, which can be found at https://www.wowhead.com/item=22261/love-fool#comments:id=6062038 and Unable to place love fool within Naxxramas

That concludes our meeting for today, once again, I do apologize for any inconvenience regarding the matter and I hope that I was able to answer all of your questions, clear up any confusion regarding the incident and meet your expectations.

If you ever need anything else, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Best regards.
GM Adutaggixu.
Blizzard Entertainment.

Yesterday the earthen achievement got fixed, but no mention for the “I Pitied the Fool”. The War Within Hotfixes - February 11 - #386 by Kaivax

I am hearing this was done so the love fool couldn’t be dropped in M+ to prevent exploiting there so they are 100% aware of what change they made that caused this issue. My concern is the lack of any regard from Blizz for the large community of achievement hunters. As mentioned previously the easiest fix is to just change the requirements for the achievement!!!

This seems to me to be the only real way forward. You’re right: Blizzard made toys that can generate threat unusable in instances to prevent, at least, “clever use of game mechanics” in situations that would be cheesed by having a temporary tank. (That, and the ability to troll group content by pulling with toys.)

There seems to me no way to preserve the achievement as is while also preserving that decision.

As contingency, I would recommend everyone stuck with the Naxx portion of the achievement ensure that they have completed every other criteria on it.

On the chance they take too long to implement a fix and it is after the event ends, if they take the approach of only removing Naxx from I Pitied The Fool, players will only get it completed for them if they have every other piece of criteria met. Alternatively, they may also remove the achievement from Fool For Love’s requirements entirely, in which case it won’t matter as much.

Hopefully neither of those scenarios have to be cared about because they get a fix in before the event ends.

Not working for me either. This is such and easy fix too, just remove the requirement for Naxxramas, OR let us get the credit using it just outside the instance.

yeah, shame that programmers can’t get this simple code fix right in a week’s time, along with SO MANY OTHER THINGS they don’t go back and fix
 Because “NextExpansion”-ism takes over


Good lord, Blizz, just remove the line that says “UseOutside=1” and make it 0
 done in 30 seconds
 But no, you need a meeting about meetings and a Teams/WebEx TPS report cover sheet about it

This game keeps breaking more and more and they never fix anything. This one is time sensitive and all we get is a “we are aware, FINGERS CROSSED that this will be fixed”

Fingers crossed? It’s your job

I get that fixing simple things is way more complex than it looks but this wouldn’t happen that often if they fixed stuff before it gets to this point, we’re not talking about an indie company.

Also, just mark the dungeon as outside or the item usable inside while you find the problem.

Literally same. Frustrated, but comically so. I can’t wait to see how this ends.

As others have suggested - why can’t they just remove this achievement from the meta achievement at this point? Instead of leaving paying customers in the dark and saying that they’re working on it, just pick the path of least resistance.

Inside/Outside is only one part.

The other is that you can’t use the items in a Raid Instance because they don’t want you to cheese aggro or generate extra class resources and such.

They need to fix both sides of the issue. It was clearly working at some point (potentially Monday and/or Tuesday at the beginning of the event), so it’s definitely nothing they can’t do (probably an exception to the rule for Naxx or all legacy content or something).

They just need to actually do it.

If a newer patch / hotfix is messing with it, then, yeah, remove it from the achievement for now. They’re running out of time. Honestly even if they remove it from the achievement, if they do it too late, there are going to be people who didn’t bother finishing the REST of the achievement because they got stalled at Naxx. Which, yeah, on them, but it will 100% happen if that’s where we end up. There needs to be a solution before the Holiday ends even if the solution is striking Naxx.
