¿y el nuevo sistema de logros que os parece?

cito:
World of Warcraft’s achievements system will launch with more than 500 individual achievements covering every aspect of gameplay, including world exploration, PvE, PvP, professions, and character development; from the purely whimsical to the truly epic, there will be something for everyone. Some achievements come with in-game rewards such as tabards, vanity pets, and titles. All of these rewards are purely cosmetic and just for fun, but you’ll certainly stand out when you proudly display them.

And don’t fret about running out of achievements anytime soon. The list is easily expandable, so you can expect additional achievements with each new World of Warcraft content update.

The Achievements Window
Upon starting your journey in Wrath of the Lich King, you’ll see a new button on your main action bar. Click that button to bring up the achievements window.

The top of the window displays the total number of points you’ve received for completing achievements. Below, each achievement appears with its name, description, point value, the completion date, and a progress bar (if applicable). Some achievements expand to display a list of individual components, highlighted to show which parts you’ve finished. You can also designate which achievements to track as you play, similar to the existing quest tracker. An important design goal is to provide players with everything they need to know to unlock an achievement.

It’s great to be able to see your own achievements -- but it’s even better to let the world know what you’ve accomplished. By right-clicking other players and selecting the appropriate option, you can compare your achievements to theirs. Every time you earn a new achievement, your accomplishment is announced to your guild and everyone in your immediate vicinity -- and the custom achievement animation and sound effect are unmistakable. Also, your achievements will be viewable on the Armory, allowing you to track and show off your accomplishments via the web.

Feats of Strength
Feats of Strength represent the past glories of Azeroth, and as such, players will find them very difficult -- if not impossible -- to earn. They’re worth no points, and unlike normal achievements, unearned Feats are not displayed in the achievements interface. Feats include old-world player-vs.-player ranks, obtaining rare mounts, special titles, and more. Feats of Strength will be awarded retroactively (that is, they’ll be immediately granted to your character if you qualify) since many of them will be impossible to earn in Wrath of the Lich King.


Types and Categories of Achievements
World of Warcraft’s achievements come in several varieties. Some simply require specific actions to unlock, such as getting a haircut or defeating a member of each race in your opposing faction in PvP. Others involve a progress bar and require you to do something several times -- such as give out 10 hugs. Some achievements are progressive; for example, once you complete an achievement to collect 10 vanity pets, you might next be asked to collect 25. Finally, meta achievements unlock when you complete other achievements -- unlocking all World Exploration achievements (see below) unlocks a World Explorer meta achievement. Some achievements, including those that involve quests, honorable kills, items currently in your possession, skills (including professions), exploration, and reputations, will be applied to your character retroactively.

To help keep track of all the different achievements you can unlock, you’ll find the following categories in the achievements window:

Player-vs.-Player
This includes arena, battlegrounds, and world player-vs.-player objectives. A few examples:
Hot Streak: Win 10 ranked arena matches in a row.
Alterac Valley All-Star: Capture graveyards, towers, and kill the enemy leader all in one game.
City Defender: Kill 50 enemy players in your faction’s capital cities.

Dungeons and Raids
Every end boss of every raid and dungeon in the game grants its own achievement. Future achievements in this category may include ones for completing a run without any player deaths, with fewer than the maximum number of players, or within a certain time limit.

Professions
Advancing to each tier of mastery in a profession earns you an achievement, and there are specific achievements for secondary skills (with major professions to follow).

Quests
Quest-based achievements include completing a certain number of quests and completing specific quest lines. This category contains zone-specific subcategories.

Events
Seasonal events such as the Midsummer Festival, the Lunar Festival, and Hallows’ End have specific achievements of their own.

World Exploration
You’ll earn achievements by exploring each zone in the game -- and get meta-achievements when you fully explore a continent.

Reputations
This set of achievements includes attaining exalted reputation with each faction in the game.

General
These achievements tend toward the whimsical, including getting a shave and haircut (a new feature of Wrath of the Lich King), obtaining a certain number of tabards and vanity pets, falling from a great height, and more.

BennyHill

Quitan atuneos y cosas que os hacen creer que podreis dedicar menos tiempo a esto, ponen recompensas a base de X logros y vuelta a empezar, misma mierda distinto nombre. El wow no va a mejor, simplemente cambia de color, como los mobs del juego....... XD

ChaRliFuM

Que yo sepa, y de momento, solamente esta abierta la beta americana, supongo que pasaran unos dias/semanas hasta que abran la europea, las keys de la wotlk dudo mucho que aun las hayan mandado (cosa que no me atrevo a confirmar), no tendria sentido mandar keys de la beta antes de que se abra.

No obstante todo esto son conjeturas y hasta el momento yo por lo menos no tengo constancia de que le hayan enviado a alguien la key para la beta ya que aun no se ha abierto en europa.

THanis

#42 es verdad yo estado mirando i solo e visto k se habia abierto la beta americana i nada de la europea vamos k aun nos puede tocar la beta a todos xD
#1 de donde as sacao k han abierto la beta europea?
PD: vamos k aun no ay beta

LupiN-

The EU beta site will not be going live today.

The launch of the beta for Wrath of the Lich King is being done in many stages. Across all regions, not everyone who will be beta testing will be able to straight away.

In order to ensure everything is working correctly, the QA on the EU beta page continues and so the page will not be ready for launch today. We will update you again as and when we're able.


Well same thing as we're saying in multiple threads, we hope the finalised EU beta page will be up in the new week. This will most likely include fully functional Character Copies.


It's just the EU beta page that isn't ready for release yet -- it's not something we want to rush launch. The beta most certainly has started in the EU today, and testers are already in there testing it out.

Regarding invitations, I can't advise how often people should check their emails ;-) But as I have kinda inferred on the beta forums, not all people who will be beta testing have got their keys today: more people will be invited in time.
