Some of you might have already gotten your
Violet Proto-Drakes,
a long, strange trip that spans one full year of playing
World of Warcraft. Some persistent and conscientious players have already gotten their
Brewmaster title along with the meta-Achievement, and I'm pretty sure it must feel pretty good. There's no more pressure to do all the holiday
achievements now, is there? It's time to kick back and chillax.
For those of you who've completed the meta-Achievement, how do you feel? Does it feel good to ride around on that 310% mount? Are you among the first on your server to sport that dragonfruit-hued mount? What are you looking forward to in terms of
World of Warcraft holidays now, considering you no longer have to chase after achievements? Are you excited for the new holidays and are you psyched to complete those Achievements, too, even though they're not required for the Violet Proto-Drake? Share your thoughts this morning. As for those who haven't gotten theirs, what else do you need to complete the meta?

8 more tickets---and then I get mine! I am so relieved...

I just need 27 more tickets and I'll have my drake. It couldn't happen any sooner, because that Brewfest music is insidious! I can't get those tunes out of my head!!!!

@ Uncaringbear
Nothing is stopping you from turning off the game music. I solved a problem for you!

I need 79 more tickets.
Would've been 39 if we could do the Pink Elekk Quest in EU.
Then its just get The Helm and Sinister Squashling at Halloween.
THEN kill 50 people as a Gnome at Christmas (Which as a feral druid was crazy last year)
AND THEN Dress as a Snowman and Dance in Dalaran with another Snowman (I got the costume on the last day)
AND THEN makes some Hot Apple Cider (Wasn't a cook last Winter's Veil)
Finally I'll be able to fly my Violet Proto-Drake!
Knowing my luck they'll change the mount to something else at the end of Brewfest!

On one character I got it the first day, since she had the clothes saved up. I think I could have been the 2nd or 3rd person on my server to get it (it's a small one). I haven't seen many hanging around dalaran but I expect to see more starting tomorrow or the day after. That's when my second character will have enough for the clothes as well. Moo haha!

Almost done with Brewfest and then it's just two achievements for Halloween and one for Winterveil. >_< Stupid Bro on the airship that I couldn't get to at level 72 (even wasted two hours trying to die close enough to spirit rezz onboard, with no luck)
Abbadon Sep 24th 2009 8:32AM
Couldn't you have asked a guildie or hired a lock to summon you to the airship?
ROB13 Sep 24th 2009 8:48AM
Can't summon on Airships and Boats, the only way to get there was to do that weird ghost gryphon technique.
Aeryk Sep 24th 2009 11:56AM
I did that one last year with careful planning, 2 hours of hopping up the side of a mountain and trying to find the perfect spot, then using a parachute cloak to float onto the decks at level 75
Erik Sep 24th 2009 8:11AM
Because of a brash nerd rage decision I will not be getting mine until the stupid, RNG infested Valentine's Holiday rolls around again. Gratz to everyone who has theirs though.
Wyred Sep 24th 2009 8:22AM
I'm going to go ahead and assume you're talking about the candies, aka Destroyers of Men
vinniedcleaner Sep 24th 2009 9:12AM
yea, I got to wait till Valentine's and **hope** that I can find a non laggy spot to do the love rockets....
Elilara Sep 24th 2009 10:14AM
I too had nerd rage related issues with the last dungeon I needed for Lunar Festival, and pretty much the entire Valentine's shebang. Roommate/guildleader leaving, being a new 80... Yeah. Valentine's... I WILL DEFEAT YOU.
ZakuraX Sep 24th 2009 10:40AM
I hated those candies. Because of the low drop chance I got mine 5 in the morning the day it ended. (It ended 6 AM in the morning)
I took an average of 12-13 of them each day and still had to stay up the last night to get it.

... I took the candies very seriously...
Kanap Sep 24th 2009 8:09AM
I need pretty much all of brewfest, (economic situations) still need most of the Hallow's End stuff, and most of the Winter Veil stuff as well. I did miss 2 achievements for children's week. (also due to economic hardships) But i am still going to get as much done as I can and we'll see how much that really is.
ROB13 Sep 24th 2009 8:10AM
Only 149 more tickets! True, a big number it is, but my patience is....RUNNING OUT! Dear lord...I want that Purple Beauty, and I WANT IT NOW! -drools at mouth-
But really, I should get it by...Sunday at least, until then I'll be hear, nibbling my own legs...
DoctorOnline Sep 24th 2009 8:10AM
I love purple so much. :>
I was a lazy bugger and skipped the Christmas activities, so I get a shiny new dwagon as a present from Blizzard.
Ozmodius Sep 24th 2009 11:16AM
For me it'll be a Valentine's Day gift from Blizz. I'm nearly done with Brew fest and have almost every other achievement for the Meta, but I got screwed over with those candy hearts during Love is in the Air.
BooMsx Sep 24th 2009 8:11AM
100 tickets left -_- but the drake is AWESOME!! cant wait to get it
