Disable all addons, get achievment, turn addons back on.

[Correction]

I think it was the rolling restarts to hotfix the daily chores bugs people were seeing that got me. At least I managed to do it again before I turned in my orphan for Willy.

Apparently they're just changing it to "do 5 dailies" instead of "do a daily each day for 5 days consecutively".

This weekend is gonna be hilariously disastrous in BGs where everyone is trying to accomplish Hard Knocks. Also, at removing Once An Orphan...

I was expecting them to reset it for everyone considering I got it 2 times in the same night.

Maybe I got lucky, we still actually played our BGs despite a few people looking to get Hard Knocks (myself included)...the hardest one was WSG really, trying to predict where it would put the flag down and clicking it before anybody else was tough >.>

[Maguspk]

School of Hard Knocks can suck my dick, the AV portion is fucking near impossible. The one game I actually did manage to cap a flag I didn't have my fucking orphan out and I raged. This is tedious at best and straight asinine at worst.

I'll be the first person to admit it to anyone. I'm fucking horrible at PvP. Depending on what class I'll either luck out and win or get utterly stomped.

I got lucky. A rogue who didn't care about Children's Week passed me the flag in EotS and I took it and ran.

My first WSG, entire offensive team consists of glad titles and spend the match holding the flag to be douchebags. A cocky druid decides to bring back the flag to our own flag room in bear form and while my team wail on his healer/him, I manage to land a very lucky kidney shot while he was shifting form. Flag dropped, achievement done, /afk out.

AB for me was the hardest, the whole team had their orphans out and it was just a mess. Took about 12 games before I finally just got lucky mid-battle and capped farm amid a chaotic fight.

AV as a rogue is retarded easy given if you manage to get in a group with a pally with Crusader Aura and with no other rogues. I didn't get that. I got in mid fight. However the priest guarding the North bunker in AV was actually nice and didn't break sap to let me cap. Though I can't offer much else other than I heard capping bunkers counts for the achievement. I'm not sure though.

We had people in the guild with alliance alts, so they just queued into our BGs and helped us and their mains. Worked for all of them but EoTS.

Went through all of UP to finish childrens week and FORGOT TO SUMMON MY FUCKING ORPHAN FOR YMIRON

This is what all holiday events feel like to me. I don't bother with them at all anymore, it's not worth the frustration.

The one that pissed me off the most was that bag of candy shit. I opened god only knows how many and was still one short. The odds had to be astronomical. I think they changed it later, but fuck that pissed me off enough to not even bother with any of it again.

[Jodwahh]

Hard Knocks took me a grand total of 45 minutes, and that's only because I /afk'd out of wsg :D

[Ardrial]

hour number 3 of running eots straight and still haven't gotten shit.

fuck this achievement
fuck this event
fuck this game
fuck blizz

[Guitarman]

not exactly about wow, but wow related: Got 2 infractions on EJ for asking a question that was never covered. Some people over there need to pull the stick out of their ass.

[Wizerd]

Not many play with that on as I found out .. or should I saw a very low amount of players. Its really fun to mess with people!

I don't get how any DPS or Tank could play without Nameplates...

[Noobta]

ret paladins

[Norellicus]

I don't get how any DPS or Tank could play without Nameplates...

I know right? Mine kept shutting off between heroics, bugged the shit out of me when I'd go in and notice on the 3rd pull that I don't see them anymore...between the vastly more visible enumeration of raid marks and the aggro aura, the nameplates are a total must-haev imo.

[Gulkeeva]

I don't get how any DPS or Tank could play without Nameplates...

Faceroll classes I guess don't need it, just tab and mash keys. you'd be surprised how many don't play with nameplates... very high... margin in bg's ;/

Its almost as high a % as mages casting blizzard on a single person or a warlock using seed of corruption on a single person in a BG, like the 300-500 damage dot might actually kill me from spamming seed nonstop.. when I'm all alone >.>

I've been playing now for about 8 months, and generally haven't had much at all to complain about until now. I really, REALLY despise the School of Hard Knocks achievement. I know that others have bitched about it before, but I just can't understand why Blizz would make this achievement meta-bound to the For the Children achievement, and ultimately/more importantly, the Long Strange Trip achievement.

My main gripe is that this idiotic achievement forces people to participate in PVP activities. Some people like PVP, others (like myself) don't really care for it. I've stepped foot into a couple of battlegrounds in the past, and they just weren't my thing.

Admittedly, I suck at PVP, and have no qualms about owning up to it. It's an aspect of the game that I simply do not care for. But now, I'm compelled to do it. I finally finished up AB and WSG after about 3 hours, but spent another 3+ hours in EoTS and AV and walked away completely and utterly frustrated.

Us PVErs are pretty pissed, as well as the hardcorde PVPers. I'm sure that plenty of them are steaming right now that people like me are shitting up their BGs. I really hope that Blizz either changes the requirements for this achievement, or simply removes it from the meta.

[Guitarman]

Pretty much sums up how i feel about it. I really don't enjoy pvp all that much, which is why i'm on a carebear server. I'd love to go for the violet drake, it's a kickass looking mount, but doing the pvp shit just isnt my thing. Oh well, by the end of the year everyone's gonna have it and it won't even be noteworthy to have.
