wow Patch 10.1+ Meta-Achievement Coming in Patch 10.1.7

[Stan 5,239]

Blizzard has added a new meta-achievement for Patch 10.1+ content in Patch 10.1.7. While there are no rewards tied to it just yet, you can start working on it right now.

It's called Neltharion's Legacy and includes the following requirements:

• Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible - Defeat all bosses regardless of difficulty.
• Dawn of the Infinite: Galakrond's Fall - Defeat Iridikron in Dawn of the Infinite.
• Dawn of the Infinite: Murozond's Rise - Defeat Chrono-Lord Deios in Dawn of the Infinite.
• Legend of the Multiverse - Reach the "Legend of the Multiverse" friendship rank with Soridormi.
• Nothing Stops the Research - Defeat the Sundered Flame leader Captain Reykal during either of the Researchers Under Fire events.
• Que Zara(lek), Zara(lek) - Zaralek Cavern meta-achievement.
• Still Standing in the Fire - Get killed by Fyrakk.
• The Inquisitive - Finish the first day's secrets during the Secrets of Azeroth event.
• Through the Ashes and Flames - Complete the quest "Suffusion Camp."

I assume the achievement will be part of something similar to Shadowlands' Back from the Beyond, which was eventually removed when Dragonflight released.

What are you talking about? There isn't a single achievement here that requires you to do anything on a specific day and can be done multiple times a week, if not at any time. Unless you're talking about the 'The Inquisitive' part, but I'm pretty confident they're not talking about doing something on the very first day only. Probably means either the first part or the first day of something, we'll find out when it actually releases.

That achievement requires you to be active during the span of 2 days of which the event is up.
That is bullhonkle if I ever heard any, and I HOPE they remove that requirement.

I agree. The time limited events shouldn't be tied to metas like this. Its un-inclusive towards people that have jobs and responsibilities.

The only information I could find is that the event is still a work in progress without too much revealed yet, but it being up for 2 weeks. That being said it's still very much possible that it's referring to a questline and that you can get up to all 15 secrets if you're doing it every single day of the event and earn the 'Whodunnit?'-achievement, but completing the first secret will always give you the Ceremonial Spear (the one you need). If that's the case it would mean that you have 2 weeks to get it, and I personally think that would be fine.

Until more definitive information about the event is revealed everything is still speculative and people are possibly working themselves up to something that isn't even happening.

I am not sharing the opinion of 2 weeks being fine, even. Limited events should NOT be part of Meta achievements, whatsoever.
RNG / Timed stuff needs to stay out of it, we had enough of that stress and we complained about it already with SL meta - where plenty of parts were RNG-timed of NPCs etc being available or not.

Meta should be "You can do this if you want to", not "You can do this if you have the time to during period X and Y only" - before the next expansion.

To me it depends on the rewards. To this date there are still no rewards tied to it, besides it just popping up when you done it. In that case it's absolutely fine to me to make it limited or timed. And you are not going to convince me that this achievement matters that much to you while there is no reward tied to it (yet).

There was a title tied to it. Maw Walker.

-- Edit; Or was it Veilstrider?
Either way, they seem (?) to possibly have left it obtainable, eventho it was said it would be removed.
I'm actually highly confused now;
I am 100% fine with it if it remains obtainable, it's just an issue if its tied to FOMO.

(For clarity; https://www.wowhead.com/achievement=15654/back-from-the-beyond#comments was the achievement I was talking about -- Hope it is ok to link to this here!!! Sorry if not. 😞 )
