[Exploit] Hidden Achievement/FoS "Don't Want No Zombies on My Lawn"

[morsei]

I dont understand guys... I just did "Dont want no zombies on my lawn" and I didnt get credit for "Survive 15 waves without using Rocknuts" in Bloom and Doom, any ideas why?

[Bene1991]

talked with another player, seems that nobody besides you can see ingame the FoS... just viewable for other people in the amory

Just did it on my other toon on the Pumpkin Quest, both Achievments.

Bloom & Doom quick guide

1. Start quest "Someone setup the pumpkin bomb"

2. When you see the game field Alt+f4 or have 2 wows open and login from the other.

3. Pickup sunpower untill zombies starts to spawn. If they wont start to spawn after 30sec just leave vehicle and start again (this wont reset your progress).

4. Don´t plant anything just wait and let them walk towards the FERTILIZE-O-TRON 2000 and they will get killed. You will get 1st wave complete from the 3 first ghouls and 2nd wave from the a bit bigger ghoul what looks like DK pet. If the bigger ghoul spawns on a line where FERTILIZE-O-TRON 2000 is consumed already just exit the vehicle, you wont always get 2 waves from one try because of the RNG. You can see how many waves you have done on the current try from the 0/7 meter above your hotbars.

5. Start quest again (no need to abandon the failed quest before) and repeat steps 1 2 3 4 and about 8-15 tries later you will get the achievement.

Firstly this exploit is great and I got the first one done, however I don't fully understand Doom and Bloom, the end of part 4 is what confuses me, So you get the first 2 waves completed, then do you leave the vehicle, start it and log into your other client, or do you log into the other client when the second wave is complete? Thanks to anyone who responds.

Totaly confirmed. I was doing this method too and i think its the fastest and best way to get the Bloom & Doom Achievement.
Takes a bit time but works 100%.

sorry im an idiot, could u put this in words someone like me could understand? lol, i dont get ittttttt

[Irreparabel]

Blizz is going to take the FoS out anyway, no real reason to do this.

But a nice find!

Its easy mate, just do this:

1.Take the Quest with the Pumpkin Seeds or the following (works with both).
2. A few Seconds after the Quest started press Alt+F4 and open WoW up again, your now in the endless mode.
3. Take up the Light Orbs till the Zombies spawn.
4. Wait for your little green cars kill the Zombies, do NOT plant anything! Just wait!
5. On the bottom of your screen you got a bar with ( 0/7 ) or so on, every point you collect coints for the 15 you need.
(Its totaly random, some times you get 2/7 and sometimes just 1/7 - that depents on luck and may took a while if you only got 1/7 so you need do this 15 times.
(( You just let the Cars kill the Zombies, if a Zombie walks trough that straight to the house you leave the Quest. ))
6. After you leave the Quest do Step 2-5 again and aigan and again till you get the Achievment.

7. Win!

You can track Bloom and Doom progress using

/dump GetAchievementCriteriaInfo(5365, 1) -- Survive 15 waves using only Sunflowers and Strangler Vines
/dump GetAchievementCriteriaInfo(5365, 2) -- Survive 15 waves without using Rocknuts
/dump GetAchievementCriteriaInfo(5365, 3) -- Only using Sunflowers, Rocknuts and Pumpkin Bombs

It will print progress in chat frame.

Anyone bored enough to do one of them on the PTR and see if its account bound?

[OverLordErIcH]

Good find, I'll give this a shot when I next get on.

Achievement is not visible to others in-game. It's only visible to your own characters. It does however display on Armory. But if you want to show it off in-game, forget it. None can see it.

I was bored enough to test it out on MoP.

After i got both on Live i logged and then Copied over my Druid to the Beta once it was done, checked my FoS's no sign of the two new ones, But since i was at the quest giver with my Druid in MoP anyway, i did it again and the same method works on the Beta for 15 Waves only tested out Don't want No Zombies on my Lawn.

Since attachments are pending, Warlock got Achievement but it shows as Obtained but with 0/15 in the progress bar.

Tip to everyone: Do never finish a wave with a Pumpkin Bomb. Doing so will bug the event and make the next wave stop spawning. Make SURE you let your spitters or tentacles finish the LAST* mob of each wave. I've lost hours due to this.

* LAST - It's fine to use Pumpkin Bombs during the fight, just do NOT use it to kill the LAST mob alive.

Can you just say if your other characters got credit too? Your screenshots are pending approval, we cannot view them.
