I'm correct in noting that these mean absolutely nothing except for the achievement in itself? I mean obviously if you're going to do dungeons as a guild then you will get the GXP.
But doing these won't net you extra?
Just wondering at 3am with blocked sinuses and a massive mountain of tissues surrounding my CPU :P
Dreamstorm Aug 31st 2010 12:08PM
Go to bed!
MrJackSauce Aug 31st 2010 12:43PM
I'm trying mum, I really am! Just gotta fight my way through the Waste(lands) of Tissue, bordered by the fiery River of Overflowing Sinuses.

You will get a large chuck of extra guild experience for the achievements on top of the normal 'we ran a raid together' experience. (Source: http://www.mmo-champion.com/content/1934-The-Day-Deathwing-Came-Legends-Blue-Posts )
MrJackSauce Sep 1st 2010 6:49PM
Thanks for that! Just makes it easier to get guildies in on the action!
Rodrigo Aug 31st 2010 11:57AM
Notice the absence of Zul'Gurub from the classic raid achievement list? Did I miss something?
Tai Aug 31st 2010 9:51PM
A blue said in the beta forums that ZG is gone as a raid instance in Cata, time to start farming the mounts :(
alabngpuso Aug 31st 2010 12:01PM
To be clear, can you overlevel/gear the dungeon achievements (5 80's doing deadmines, for instance), or must characters be "appropriately levelled", for it to count?
BTW, imo, do the profession numbers per guild seem low? I'm pretty sure that on my own, in the space of a few months, I've made 5,000 Feasts and caught 10,000 items from Northrend fishing pools.
Kate Aug 31st 2010 12:23PM
I've been wondering this as well. I'm hoping you can take a crew of 80+ characters into the old world raids and have it count. Obviously you won't need the full complement of people to get it done, so if you take 4 guildies (total raid) into MC, will that work?
The dungeons would be easier as people level new worgens/goblins, but I think most people don't have guilds full of random 60s, 70s and 80+.
Kemikalkadet Aug 31st 2010 2:13PM
Yeah i thought that. The critter one is low too.. i have 14k critter kills on my main, and 12k 'fish and other things' caught so i could easily solo those achieves. Hopefully placeholder numbers.
MDrules Aug 31st 2010 2:41PM
I would think that those are the first 'tier' of the those achievements. Just like you get an achievement for fishing up 25/50/100/250/500/1000 fish.
Sinnh Aug 31st 2010 12:12PM
We are legendary sounded much better as a title. We are hardcore sounds childish
(cutaia) Aug 31st 2010 12:22PM
Yeah, the first one gave me an "I am Legend" kind of vibe and seemed like a clever play on words. This one sounds childish as you said.
Minos Aug 31st 2010 12:13PM
A lot of those look like things that are already tracked in Statistics. I wonder if they'll be retroactive or if the count starts when the Cataclysm patch is live.
tulipblossom Aug 31st 2010 12:15PM
These achievements are looking really great so far. I'm so excited for Cata to come out. It can't come soon enough!
RG Aug 31st 2010 12:18PM
As far as starting fresh on a new server without support - research and find a guild and apply. Most good ones have interactive websites with forums that can give you a good idea of what kind of support they would supply. I found a good social guild which made the climb to 80 just as fast as if I had my mains on that server.
dodgeballer2005 Aug 31st 2010 12:42PM
The only legendaries that seem to make the list thus far are Sulfuras, Thunderfury, the Warglaives, Thori'dal, Valanyr, and Shadowmourne. I doubt they will add the staff because you can't get it anymore.
StalkerofFlames Aug 31st 2010 5:55PM
And they stated that the guild achievements for legionaries will NOT be retroactive :) So all those Illidan runs were useless! (I feel more sorry for those who will have just finished their shadowmournes come Cata)
Amak Aug 31st 2010 8:54PM
@Stalker
Um, other way around. Existing legendaries will count. That is unless you really are talking about "legionaries".
StalkerofFlames Sep 1st 2010 3:18AM
Nope, I meant legendaries, and I heard that for the 'we are legendary' guild achievement (now 'we are hardcore') specifically that the guild would be required to obtain each legendary post-cata. I wish I had the link but it was when (probably Ghostcrawler) was using that achievement as an example for the restrictions on certain guild items. He was saying that for example the dark pheonix would require not only exalted with the guild but that the guild may have a requirement through an ach, he used that ach simply as an example and added as a side note that it will not be retroactive.
