Group Heroic Achievements, ONLY you getting

[Helene]

I know the title of this sounds weird, but this is an explaination.


While being in a group, and you are going for the achievement containing Group, then you may think "How to get the others to...", well - that's no more!

This allows you to solely get achievements that require a "basic" thing for groups.



Let's start with Intense Cold for an example - (This is 1man achievement, but this will explain like if it were)
"Defeat Keristrasza in The Nexus on Heroic Difficulty without allowing Intense Cold to reach more than two stacks."

WHOA, all the members need to do that? It's quite hard without a dispeller.
Look no further, heres the thing : If you do not get above two stacks, you will get the achievement if there is no one else "tagged" with you.

What is "tagged" with you? Players who were in a group with you first before going to the random heroic. If you went in random heroic with only you from the same realm, you are a lone player towards the achievement!



Short version :
Using Random Heroic, achievements that require the whole group to cooperative for a certain counter, will only affect you and not the other players. If the other fail, they fail. If you manage it, ONLY YOU will get the achievement.

This can only be worked if you don't invite players to come with you (as in the same realm).


I like to confirm more achievements working this way. I will update the list here as more get's found. I think the [Color] Void works this way too, if anyone want's to try that for a first.


-- I've Had Worse
-- Ruby Void (Halfly confirmed)

Ok

firstly intense cold is an individual achivement, you don't need everyone to do it

as for I've had worse. Well I can only assume the rest already had it as you didn't post pics of their armory.

Unless someone else or yourself can confirm group achivement working this way this is wrong.

Is this just a case of players already having them?

[Dysain]

I'm fairly certain that [Intense Cold] in the Nexus is an individually based achievement, so in regards to that, its working as intended and not an exploit. I can't confirm or deny [I've Had Worse] though.

[fozzy]

its only meant for 1 person anyway.. even if u didnt use random group

nice try @ an exploit anyway!

1. The other players didn't.

2. It is? Because I gotten the opturnity to do it several times, yet I never got it - fully confirmed myself it were a group achievement, doesn't explain about "I've Had Worse" or "Ruby Void".

3. I've Had Worse is confirmed, and in the same way.


If Intense Cold is really 1 player achievement, I must met big glitches as it required for whole groups to follow this, or an achievement edit. If it really is 1 player, I would like that part confirmed - if confirmed, I will edit the whole example bit.
I've Had It Worse is still confirmed about this metod despite all group members needing to do it.

Some screenshots on the ones you claim to be working would be nice. This would be handy if it works. However nothing in here shows proof

I didn't have any proof about I've Had Worse, when I saw none else got it - and they never had the achievement, I had a strange thougth and went to do Intense Cold, successfully with same perspective - it's when I started to get proof.

So if I'm really wrong about Intense Cold, I just edit the example. I've Had Worse is still a group achievement.


I'm going to experiment later today.

[leirabeach]

I just tried doing the [Doesn't Go to Eleven] by myself i.. but i dident work.. i cant try out the old once cos i allreddy done them. But i will try them out on my alts whne i got time.

the achievement "intense cold" has NOTHING to do with your group, it is an achievement solely based on you.

Intense Cold:
"Defeat Keristrasza in The Nexus on Heroic Difficulty without allowing Intense Cold to reach more than two stacks."

Versus

Cheese the Freeze (Hodir)
"Defeat Hodir without any raid member being hit by Flash Freeze in 10-player mode. "

You notice the subtle wording differences?

Hmm, I'm a bit tired.:confused: 07:00, but hey - There's still I've Had Worse.


Editing the whole example.

Post a screenshot of you being the only one to gain the achievement in your party. Who's to say that those people haven't already earned the achievement? I think at this point, you're grasping at straws.

Easy way to get Intense Cold: you can just LoS the dragon (yes not DPS or do anything during the fight just 'afk' far away from it) and she won't hit you with the crystallize thing (or breaths I think).

I've gotten full party achievements with the new LFG system and failed many as well. Never seen anything about one player getting the achievement unless I didn't notice because I assumed s/he was the only one who didn't have it.

[BlQ]

so you can get Undying achiv if its just you whos not dieing in a random naxx run via lfg tool?

[Razza]

If this works with Occulus then I can just go in on my Ruby drake and get the other two achievements :P? Sounds too good to be true but will have to try it
