Overachiever - For the Casual Achiever
Hi I'm new here, and today I came to talk to you about an addon: Overachiever. Hopefully Mep will let me do more posting about addons, macros, and other stuff that should make your achievement journey a little less bumpy. Most of my posts will be for Casual players who are just beginning their achieving journey.
But before we talk about overachiever, a bit about addons. An addon is, its a program developed by a third party (normally in gaming a player who has experience coding), that changes the interface of your game. Some of this will allow you to see information that is normally hidden, add extra bars for spells, or allow you do more, like scan the auction house for average prices and buy under priced items.
Don't let the fact that a third party created it scare you. If you use a website like Curse.com you will only be downloading safe programs. (Curse scans the code to make sure it won't hurt you or your computer) Also World of Warcraft runs the addons, not your computer, and only allows the addons to do certain things. This Prevent someone from using an addon to run them through Nax. People that do that use different programs called botting.
Overachiever
One of my favorite addons is Overachiever. It is a tool for tracking achievements.
In addition to the normal features of the Achievement tracker, this addon lists all the achievements, displays the statistics you find on the armory, allows you to search for a specific achievement and will even let you track more than 5 achievements at a time. If you've completed many achievements you can toggle between showing your completed, incomplete, or all of the achievements within the main achievement window. If you want to monitor your progress on achievements from different categories you can hold alt and click on the achievement to add to your Watched list, which shows up on the "Watch" tab.
One of the best features of Overachiever is the Suggestion tab. This will list achievements you haven't completed within your current zone. Sadly, this will not tell you if you can do part of an achievement within the zone, so you'll have to keep track of where all those critters are separately.
Secondly you can enable a feature that will add a note in the tool tip about whether you've loved, killed, petaled, snowflaked, or whatever crazy holiday thing you need to do.You can also set it up to make a noise when you cursor over something you need to act on, which makes it easier to passively work on To All the Squirrels I've Loved Before while questing. It also makes it easier to keep track of which Class/Race combination you've snowflaked for the Let It Snow Holiday achievement on each of your 10 alts.
Lastly Overachiever will display your progress in tool tips when you hover over meta-achievements or achievements on your tracking. This is really handy when you are working on an achievement like Exploration, The Outland Gourmet, or just don't want to keep opening up your achievement window.
To download this and other addons please visit Curse.com, or WoW Interface.com. To enable a feature go to your Interface menu and select Overachiever under your list of Addons.
Enjoy!

GTA: They Love Me In That Tunnel
Hey everyone!
So, I know I said I was going to have a new writer for GTA this week, sadly he's sick with the swine flu or something, so I'm just kinda pulling this one out of the air.
They Love Me In That Tunnel. This is an easy enough achievement that you can do it with one day's worth of grinding. Give it a shot! It's one of the easier reputations to grind out.

TGIF: 11/13/09
Hey guys!
Friday... they seem to be coming faster and faster for me... which I'm certainly not complaining about :)
A couple of things real quick.
#1. Sorry about the Assassin's creed ads... I know they are annoying, I've asked my ad host to stop putting up ads that automatically expand on page load as they are very annoying... we'll see what he says.
#2. I'm still designing the new website layout... thing's getting big, but thankfully, not overly complicated.
All that aside, I'm still looking for some more ideas of things that people want on the new site. As I've been having people e-mail them to me at mep at wow-achievements dot com, most of you haven't been seeing what has been suggested. And because of that, I get a lot of the same requests. This is great, as I know people want it, but I figured I'd tell people a couple of them to maybe get you thinking in a new direction.
There will be a list of first players to get specific achievements for the World, Region, Realm, and Guild. This will also include a list of players in that division that have the achievements and when they got them.
There will be a log in feature that will allow you to track all of your characters easily... (not gonna reveal the method that I'm going to ensure it's really you... but it's a pretty good concept)
The player profile page will be completely overhauled.
Those are only a few of the ideas... but they have been suggested a lot.
So anyway, what are you guys up to for the weekend?
P.S. For any of you 80's kids out there, enjoy having that theme stuck in your head all day :)

Exclusive from Blizzard!
Hey guys!
I got an exclusive video from Blizzard tonight with Jace Hall interviewing some Blizzard employees.
When I was at Blizzcon, I got to go to Blizzard HQ and see a lot of the stuff he's pointing to and talking about in the video... pretty cool.
Enjoy :)

Pilgrim's day is approaching
I wanted to take a minute to talk a little bit about what you might want to focus on for the next week and a half (before
Pilgrim's Bounty starts)
It seems that in order to get all of the achievements done for this Holiday, you'll need to be at least 330 cooking skill (for
Now We're Cookin' (Alliance) |
Now We're Cookin' (Horde), and level 55 in order to get into
Sethekk Halls and kill
Talon King Ikiss for
Terokkar Turkey TimeSo these are some goals to shoot for if you want to participate in this event.
I'm going to be making a list soon that shows everything you need to aim for in order to get the next holiday achievements, so you don't come around to something like
Hail To The King Baby and not be high enough level to get it done.

Get that Achievement: Master of Arms
Hey everyone!
Sorry for the late update today. Been pretty busy.
So, I figured out why the achievement icons on the profile pages haven't been showing up properly. I'm not going to bother fixing this quite yet, but will be fixing it with the revamp of the website.
This week's GTA is
Master of Arms.
It's a REALLY easy achievement, but because it takes a little bit of time to do, a lot of people forget about it.
I have some GREAT news!
For those of you who've been to the official WoW forums, you may have seen
Vyndrian, Moon Guard - US doing his
Get that Achievement game, which Monday posts are roughly based off of.
He has volunteered to be in charge of the GTA on Monday mornings, making him our first volunteer writer for WoW-Achievements. Which I'm excited about :)
Which... is one of the ideas I have for the new website layout. If things go well, I'll be asking for some volunteer writers to help fill this site out a bit. If you have a good idea, and are willing to write for the site, shoot me an e-mail, mep @ wow-achievements dot com. You might just get to have your articles read by several thousand people a day :) (Good experience for wanna-be journalists, as websites are a usable reference for trying to get a job.)
Anyway, gotta get back to the RL.
Have a great Monday, and keep that coffee comin...

Don't forget, I want to hear from YOU
I'm going to be finishing up the first stages of my design this weekend (on paper). So the more ideas about what you want from this site that you throw my way, the better, and the better the chance that it will end up on the site :)
So keep them coming. E-mail me at mep at wow-achievements dot com.
