Be warned that the titles and descriptions of these achievements may contain spoilers. Here are a few of my favorites:
- That's Not Canon! comes from defeating a certain boss in the Caverns of Time in a certain manner. A bit of a thumbed nose at people who don't like all this time travel? Maybe, but the title's hilarious enough that I can't stop chuckling.
- A-Caroling We Will Go Now this is how you spread Winter Veil cheer. I don't know about you, but I can't wait to don my gaudiest sweater and break some Orcish eardrums.
- I Was Promised a Pony Looks like our good friend Ghostcrawler got some achievement naming duties this time around. You can't deny it forever, Greg. It's true, and you know it. We are still waiting.
Brace yourselves for what could be some of most exciting updates to the game recently with patch 4.3. Look at what's ahead: new item storage options, cross-realm raiding, cosmetic armor skinning and your chance to battle the mighty Deathwing -- from astride his back!

Please, god make the Gaudy Winter Veil Sweater be a tailoring pattern. PLEASE.
(That's Not Canon made me cackle out loud, too.)

I'm 100% with you, i badly need to learn how to knit a nice xmas sweater, but i have a feeling it'll be given as a gift = http://ptr.wowhead.com/item=70923# (notice the on use effect)
Obviously that doesn't mean we tailors can't get the pattern as well (Father Winter? I've been awfully good this year, promise!)

That is good and bad. Good in that enemy players will likely be dismounted while singing. Bad that you will have to as well ;) Still, it shouldn't be too hard. especially when u can pop in and pop out on your flyer.

According to MMO-Champion, the gaudy sweater is the 2011 gift, so will be found in the usual box under the tree in Org/wherever.

/cries
Now what will I foist on my guildies for terrible gifts? Back to tacky lumberjack shirts I guess...

I hope it looks like this: http://wilwheaton.typepad.com/wwdnbackup/images/clownsweater.jpg
I would raid in that sweater.

@Tommy: That's exactly what I was going to say/suggest.

Demons die when a lore nerd goes to war.

The Doctor Who references, they are both amazing.. and well.. amazing.
Why does Dr. Who have so many references you can use???
MikeLive Sep 27th 2011 9:27PM
Because Doctor Who is awesome, that's why.
Also may have something to do with the 47 years of broadcast history.

Demons die when a lore nerd goes to war.
QQs will sound and drown the fun
When a lore nerd goes to war.
Each PUG dies and ninja lies
Tank will quit and the the queue will rise
When a lore nerd goes to war.
Demons die, but count the cost,
The Valor's won, but the cheevy's lost.

I think all three have winning names, but my favorite has to be the first and third.
I love it when Blizzard makes fun of their own playerbase. :)

Will we get any answers on who "Really" run the darkmoon faire? If it's an Old god, that would explain why people go "crazy" over it.

I don't like pvp themed holiday events...but caroling in a tacky sweater? XD
hahahahaha
I'm going to have to do that even if it kills me (and it will.) XD

Seconding. As an RPer at heart, I'm going to do this with my fire mage, simply because it's the sort of insane thing she would do. And it's funny.
Prelimar Sep 27th 2011 10:33PM
what i want to know is, what constitutes "caroling"? will there be a new emote? or will this be some on-use item we get?
Noyou Sep 27th 2011 10:57PM
/Sing. It's already an emote. If all you need to do is plop down on enemy soil and /sing it should be fairly easy. Probably done without dismounting. I like it :)

Ghostcrawler promised me a pony? Can I have Rainbow Dash please?
arawn.chernobog Sep 28th 2011 4:05AM
Foal! Rarity is a hoof ahead of the competition
Why, Rainbow Dash is merely an attention horse!
eakin3 Sep 27th 2011 11:30PM
Silly Chernobog!
How could you misspell "Fluttershy" that badly?
