Quietly and secretly, World of Warcraft has fixed a bug with achievements and wanted to help players. However, many are now really angry.
What happened? With a hotfix, Blizzard apparently wanted to help players and made the achievements for island expeditions account-wide. So if multiple characters collect pets, they now count together toward the achievement.
This is how Blizzard actually wanted to help players complete the achievements, especially when leveling twinks through island expeditions.
Something different will also soon be account-wide – reputation. At least a little.
An achievement is reset: What is annoying, however, is that the achievement “Azeritadmiral” (Azerite Admiral) has been completely reset! For this achievement, players had to collect a total of one million Azerite, which corresponds to well over 100 island expeditions.
Many players were already far along with this achievement and are now furious that all their hard work was for nothing.
Island expeditions divide the player base. While some players are having a lot of fun with the island expeditions and the various rewards that can be obtained, not everyone sees it that way. The drop chance for rewards has been drastically increased!
The other half of the players find island expeditions boring and are already annoyed by the weekly cap, for which they have to complete around 5 expeditions (approximately on heroic).
So it’s not surprising that these players are quite angry that they have to start over again for the “Azeritadmiral”.
Meta achievement for title: The Azeritadmiral is, by the way, part of the meta achievement “Expeditionsleiter”, which grants the corresponding title. Those who want to call themselves expedition leaders should prepare for a lot of work.
There has not been a statement from Blizzard about this so far. Whether the progress of the achievement can be restored is questionable.
What is your opinion on this bug? Are you affected as well? Or does it not make any difference to you because you will be doing well over 100 expeditions anyway?
