New achievements and mount rewards in beta build 8962

by Alex Ziebart Sep 18th 2008 at 1:30PM

Like most Wrath beta patches, build 8962 comes packing new achievements. This patch doesn't have a massive list like some previous builds, but what it does have is pretty cool:

Leading the Cavalry - Obtain 75 mounts, be rewarded with an Albino Drake.
For the Alliance! - Slay the leaders of the Horde, be rewarded with a Black War Bear.
For the Horde! - Slay the leaders of the Alliance, be rewarded with a Black War Bear.
Glory of the Hero - Complete all of the Heroic Dungeon achievements, be rewarded with a Red Proto-Drake.
Glory of the Raider - Complete the Normal Difficulty raid achievements, be rewarded with a Plagued Proto-Drake.
Heroic: Glory of the Raider - Complete the Heroic Difficulty raid achievements, be rewarded wtih a Black Proto-Drake.
What a Long, Strange Trip It's Been - Complete the World Event achievements, be rewarded with a Violet Proto-Drake. (Note: World events means holidays here, like Brewfest, not things like the Ahn'qiraj gate event.)

The rewards are definitely the most noteworthy part of this. Wrath of the Lich King is introducing a ton of new mounts, so it won't surprise me to see massive diversity in what people are using after the expansion has been out for awhile. There are plenty that come from things other than Achievements as well, but we'll get to those later.

I do not see what all the fuss is about. If you think the requirement is insane, then pay it no mind. There are achievements out there for every type of player whether hard-core raider, hard-core pvper, casuals etc. etc.

You are not supposed to be able to attain every achievement. I would pity someone that actually did.
