About Failchievements

Failchievements

Please use the Curseforge Ticket Tracker to report issues with this addon if you would like them to be quickly and efficiently resolved.

Overview

A custom achievement suit that offers you with unique challenges and accidental awesomes that may happen in general play, PvE, PvE, or even just standing around talking. This addon adds a new Achievement category, and integrates completely into the built in Achievement system. Just install and play!

Mission

The purpose of this addon is to highlight when a player does something unexpected and/or typically "fail". It's designed to be funny or mile markers in a characters progression (of failure). This is not designed to extend the achievements list for users to farm failures, but highlight when a player does something funny or unexpected.

Examples

Failures include general failures, raiding failures, PvP failures, and a 'Feat of Strength' variant. General failures examples are: dying (quickly, often, or in a humorous way), playing the Auction House poorly, or using the /slash commands incorrectly. Raiding failures typically include things such as: bad positioning, dying in a preventable setting, or killing yourself or others. PvP failures are typically the taboo PvP issues that just come about playing regularly, where 'Feat of Strength's are class/race specific or are very hard to obtain, if not impossible. It's expected that you install and forget, until you do something you probably shouldn't have and let your entire guild know that you, metaphorically, stood in the fire and do it in a funny way. As content is released, specific Failchievements for each encounter will be added and updated as the game progresses.

When an achievement is earned, it will be broadcast to the guild, raid or party, and emote unless specified in the Interface->Addons Tab->Failchievements configuration menu.

    Please update this addon. Do you have currently gametime to update this addon? If you do not, remember that trial accounts are free to play up to level 20. At level 20, you do not gain any exp, you simply stop leveling. However, you cannot join guilds, that is a realy shame.

    Hello, is there an chance you could make the update needed to bring this to 4.1? As it is showing up as being out of date.

    Thanks.

    This should be under Strengths of Feat, but is completely hidden as it is only obtainable from one class.

    Oh and, testing some of these out with p_ansell's way around the "hidden until earned" thing...

    I'm At Your Feet currently doesn't work. Tried targeting both horde and alliance with it, /begging, nothing happened.

    Managed to get the MY ANKLE one and It's a Bird! at the same time, however, I can't find It's A Bird! in any of the listings; it doesn't show up in the Strength of Feet pane.

    Alonemaster doesn't recognize I've already earned Loremaster. Tried logging in and out numerous times, linking my achievement, putting on the title, it doesn't catch it.

    For it to actually catch my /played time, I had to type /played.

    For it to credit my character's 3600-ish deaths, I had to die at least once (which you'll do anyway doing these failchievements)

    Otherwise a fun addon; just wish there wasn't so much emphasis on dying (even if that is the very embodiment of failure in WoW).

    For anyone that wants to re-enable descriptions showing, you can do so by either editing the file located at Libs/CustomAchievements/CustomAchievements.lua and changing the lines that look like:

    if CA.achis[achi].description and ( not CA.achis[achi].hidedescription or CA.achis[achi].complete )then
    modDesc = CA.achis[achi].description
    else
    modDesc = CustomAchievementsPublic.L["Hidden Until Earned"]
    end

    to

    modDesc = CA.achis[achi].description


    Or alternatively you can replace all instances of "hidedescription = true" in Global.lua to "hidedescription = false"

    Thanks for making it easy to hack Jerbal, even if you insist on removing all comments that object to you hiding descriptions by default.

    Of course! That was actually something I was testing and managed to slip into the version 11 build.

    The 19b version has descriptions back in when earned or linked (when you've earned it). Use the beta version (with a few posted bugs) or wait for this weekend for the next release!

    Reproduced, it was an English Localization error in porting it to CurseForge's localization. It's beta for a reason! Thank you for reporting.

    Which version, which localization, and what achievement were you trying?

    They are all triggered based on the events: you need to die to get /any/ of the death ones. This is to prevent login spam before you are able to slect you don't want to send them to party/guild/emote etc. It's also a bug that will only happen once and disappear.
