Combating the corruption needs to be changed, badly. Increased spawn rate by a lot or just outright removed- along with Notorious and pvp essenes for essence essentials. Tell me a Tale needs a drop rate increase, but since you can solo queue PvE expeditions now I don’t think it needs removed outright. Tumors should get a respawn rate increase or lower the number required.
The rest mentioned, they’re fine. this is meant to be a massive grind, and BfA was very faction oriented so having faction-locked achievs makes sense- level boost a horde toon and have fun! Or alliance, if you play horde.
Need outright removal:
It’s Not A Tumor
Combating the Corruption
Need improvement:
How to Ptrain Your Pterrodax
The drop chance of the Pterrordax Egg that’s required to even BEGIN that achievement is somewhere between 1/1000 and 1/2000 from an area that has about 12 mobs with a good distance between them. As well, 1/1000 can quickly turn into 1/5000 or 1/10000 if you’re simply unlucky. And I certainly am.
Even after getting the elusive egg, if I ever do, it’s 30 days of daily quests for this achievement. Surely that’s suffering enough! Boost the egg drops please.
You have a higher chance of finding the Pterrordax egg than finding the 3 island+enemy combos required for 3 quests out of god knows how many for Tell Me A Tale.
The egg is a reasonable grind. Tell Me A Tale and Combating the Corruption are not.
In other news, no Druidic Fur, Voruskar Carapace or root this week either! Fun!
An achievement shouldn’t require such effort and win trading. There are many folks (including me) who just don’t want PVP to be required at this point in the game cycle.
This is awesome! But we’re still missing some of the finer details
Nazmir WQ spawnrate (two required for Bwon Voyage havent spawned in the last 3 weeks)
Nazjatar Puzzle WQs (could take months to get the right one to spawn since you need to do every single variant)
PVP Essences required: Blood of the Enemy (PVP island & bgs), Ripple in Space (nazja wpvp, only wintradable), Conflict and Strife
The spawnrate of certain Nazjatar rares (Packfather and Soundless for example)
The droprate of cat paints and vinyls in Mechagon, especially the one that drops from Hardmode Rig
This is a great start though, keep up the good work Devs <3
UPDATE:
Essence Essentials and Pure of Heart have been removed from the meta, so no need to farm essences at all besides Crucible of Flame and a few Rank 3’s!
All warfront achievements have been removed from the meta, except for ‘‘complete each warfront once’’ (I guess we’re not getting solo-queue for this if removal was a better idea)
Still no updates for Nazja & Nazmir WQ’s, Nazja rares and RNG Mechagon drops.
Despite that, the BFA meta is now reasonably obtainable, just very RNG and timegated by a lack of WQ spawns.
Last suggestions for further updates if there will be any:
Require only x amount of rares for I Thought You Said They’d Be Rare & Rest in Pistons
Remove the WQ achievements that are faction specific in Nazmir & Voldun to limit unfortunate rng timegating (again, 2 nazmir wqs required havent spawned in 3 weeks+)
Only require x amount of puzzles instead of all for Puzzle Performer
I agree with this point but wanted to note that Don’t Stalk Me Troll spawned 8 days ago on NA servers. Is this the one you meant?
I think I can count on one hand the number of times I saw Cancel The Blood Troll Apocalypse while BFA was current and I was playing my Horde toon. All could use a boost.
I’ve spent over six hours killing 8000+ pterrordax. I’ve had enough green drops to collect every single quest set. I’m getting carpal tunnel and I’m very tired.
This is not. a reasonable. grind.
And this isn’t even for the achievement. It’s for a ticket to BEGIN WORKING ON the achievement, which will take another month of dailies.
Help me. What achievement is How to Ptrain Your Pterrodax under? I cannot find it anywhere under the current list on wowhead for the meta and I want to make sure I am not missing it.
Did they remove it? I would love to not grind for that egg if it isn’t needed.
I’m very glad many of these have been nerfed or removed. I have nearly everything done, but I recognize how challenging it is to go back and do these things.
However, please just remember that these are things that would be often completed over the course of a 2 year expansion (give or take), which is why some of them are so time consuming.
Again, I’m happy they have made it easier for many people.
Really hope they did, seems like it at least. Having an achievement that starts with a truly RNG based abysmal droprate is just no fun at all. I cannot imagine 12k kills. Kudos to you for sticking it out for so long, even though you still don’t have it. I think my brain would melt.
