Some Winter Veil Achievements are impossible

At least as a caster (balance druid), I queued for wintergrasp, got attacker, and chilled in the back of the attacker side mid push, putting dots on whatever I could. I got the achievement by the time the first fight was over.

Still not working. Looks like they are taking their time.

You only need to be reindeer when you turn in the quest, it worked

The achievement has been possible to obtain within hours of this original post. What you on about lol.

Bro thinks he said something of value when I got it on 2 other characters within 10 minutes of this post going up. :skull_and_crossbones:

Having a skill issue yourself there?

I can confirm this works. Run the quest on your normal flying mount, then before you turn it in, use the Holly on your mount to turn it into a reindeer. They must have done something to “fix” that part because I did that 2 other times and it failed, but I did it again yesterday and it worked.

Thanks for the info. The achievement states while on a flying reindeer so it’s nice to know there is a work around.

It is possible to complete the Bomb Them Again quest despite the bug.

  1. Get your bomb on a hot key.
  2. Convert your mount with Preserved Holly and then get off of it.
  3. Position yourself right next to one of the bombing targets.
  4. Mount.
  5. Fly up just a few yards and drop your bomb with the hot key. - You’ll have 1-2 secs before your mount converts to a reindeer and you fall, but most of the time you can get the bomb off and fall safely to the ground as long as you haven’t flown up too high.
  6. Rinse and repeat.
  7. Be sure you’re on your reindeer mount when you turn in the quest. I am not sure this is necessary, but just to be safe…

Note that the achievement is to complete “Bomb Them Again” not “Bombing Run” which is the precursor quest.

Lastly, if you’re in a group everyone in the group gets credit when you drop the bombs.

This worked for me and my wife.

I was able to collect that achievement by doing the bomb quest and just before turning in using my holly to turn my mount into a reindeer, got credit.
The impossible one for me on Pagle is the Let It Snow.
Just seeing a horde player on this server is rare, let alone the proper class/race combo.

Want an (almost) impossible achievement?
Let It Snow. Good luck trying to find people from the opposite faction in any server other than grobbulus and since blizzard in their infinite wisdom haven’t made achievements account wide, well…
Achievements that depend on RNG and people from the enemy faction being online at any given time should never be part of meta achievements

What’s the issue? I did all Winter achieves last year without any issues for the first time in my life in 15 years of WoW.

Just YT it.

“Last year”

Your lack of self awareness is astounding.

If you’re talking to Blizzard you are correct. There’s no reason a simple achievement should require a work around. Or having to coordinate with a bunch of other players to make alts so you can throw a damn snowball.

Weird you don’t think a company is responsible for making sure their product works the way it’s supposed to.

What work around? Are you talking about dismount?
That’s part of it.

Used this video I’m pretty sure.

Complete the Bomb Them Again! quest while mounted on a flying reindeer during the Feast of Winter Veil.


Complete the Bomb Them Again! quest on any flying mount then turn in the quest while mounted on a flightless reindeer during the Feast of Winter Veil.

Skill issue for dumb dumbs for sure. Merry christmas you flightless birds.

Yeah WE GET IT. I got it last year. I also did it in OG Wrath while doing the entire thing on the reindeer. The quest is bugged and it’s been bugged since classic wrath launched. And if you haven’t done it you’re not going to know it’s bugged so you have to go to the forums or youtube or w/e when it should be a simple “do the bombing, turn it in.” You know, like it was supposed to be.

In case you were totally unaware of how the quest is SUPPOSED to work, here ya’ go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoPKGl9rX5U&t=1s

Your coming here snotting about how you got it last year and what’s the big deal is unbelievably pretentious. No one needs it.

This doesn’t even begin to cover what you have to go through for the snowball achievement if you’re on a one sided server.

More like skill-less devs who need years to fix a bugged quest and still can’t do it.

Whoa Whoa. Flying reindeer? Don’t you know the magic of christmas is dead because all of the children have devoted their minds to the tools of satan? They can’t fly anymore.

Its been bugged for like, 2 weeks.

More skilled than you. If you have nothing of value to say, don’t post at all.
