You seem to care, that’s why you’re here. Why do you care if they are available after P2 launch?
I don’t give a crap about the achievement itself, but rewards like the dragons and titles should be chase things that are available when they are relevant.
Scarab lord is cool because it’s an achievement people worked for in the past. Same with ZA bear. Same with Olympic pet. And the same should be for the Naxx dragons and titles, as they were originally.
Edit: At the end of the day it’s whatever though. As someone on the fence about continuing to play WoW after wrath classic, this is not a good sign about the design direction for the future, for me. Is what it is.
100% if they’re gonna trash the achievements we did like that, Give me my Scarab lord title for going through that chain quest, and i want my black qiraji mount as well !
if they want to keep it in game it should be required for players to clear it without a single piece of gear above naxx gear, like they are planning for algalon
personally, i’d support all other unobtainables made obtainable again, BUT… let the people who were around for scarab lord when it was current content, and dealt with the stress/prep when it was current content have their trophy.
it was a choice to roll on a fresh wrath server (meaning wrath timeline), and it was a choice to not play when it was possible to obtain the title/mount.
Edit: to note, scarab lord was a LOT harder to obtain than these achievements, so no one come at me for that. the time people had to bang these achievements out vs getting scarab lord ALONE makes the mount/title a lot more prestigious. it deserves to stay rare.
Incorrect. It was designed to be a short term obtainable. It was designed to be finished only with support from your guild/faction. It was not designed to be put on farm for an entire expansion after the fact.
Once [Wrath of the Lich King] goes live, you will no longer be able to obtain the Zul’Aman bear mount by saving all 4 prisoners in the timed run. The Bear Mount will be replaced by a very good, epic item that is level appropriate for people doing the zone. To be clear, the Zul’Aman bear mount is supposed to be an item of very high prestige. We want players who have earned it during the appropriate era (aka before the level cap gets raised) to be recognized for their accomplishment. We have absolutely no problem with higher level players (above level 70) going back and doing Zul’Aman after Wrath of the Lich King is live. We just want to preserve the accomplishment of having saved all 4 prisoners at the intended difficulty level.
also incorrect. on the achievement, it doesn’t say “you have to do this before xyz date/time”. blizzard chose to remove it, that’s all.
with scarab lord, you had a specific amount of time dependent on your server (war effort supplies), followed by the ten hour war. that’s it. that is how it was designed. it was not kept in for the entirety of AQ 20/40 and then suddenly removed because blizzard decided to remove it.
