[We Are Legendary] and the Dark Phoenix = Good Idea?

[Nenavn]

When I read the hypothetical post regarding the guild achievement and Award system, I thought that Blizzard's example of We Are Legendary granting the Dark Phoenix sounded like a solid idea!

Not too far back people started bleeting about how upset they were that the Dark Phoenix was a guild reward, bringing up old TRH complaints. If the Dark Phoenix was an unlockable reward from collecting every single not-removed legendary, that could very well make it about as rare as the Ashes of Al'ar given most legendaries are based heavily in RNG, it'd be like farming for the ashes six times over.

That is, unless, some clever player rallies together a wielder of each legendary, it would still take some time to build up Guild rep to buy it.

Also, just an idea given we have a Dark Phoenix Hatchling...
A tiered achivement in that aquiring ONE legendary weapon unlocks the Hatchling, collecting them all unlocks the mount.

Was I correct in reading that it doesnt matter if you have the legendary item already and that upon release, you would need someone to get it after release? Or will we able to count the legendaries we have now?

[Nenavn]

I think it counts the legendaries we have now.
If it didn't... Man that would make that Phoenix one of the harder mounts to obtain.

I knew someone would do this thread, but still it's so stupid.

It was an example, it won't happen.

Farming old content for old legendary weapons doesn't sound very fun to me.

Obtain Atiesh and you can get your mount!

Players:
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

That achievement requires the guild to gain access to all 6 legendary weapons currently available in the game. (note that all guild achievements start on Cataclysm launch, so anything you have now will not matter, it must be done with your guild after launch)

But people still do it. It's a noteworthy achievement to obtain a legendary weapon like Sulfuras or Thunderfury.

Atiesh isn't in the achievement anymore, I think.

You get your chances multiplied tenthfold if you get some of your guild members farming the same level 60 raid every lockout until it drops for one, proceed the the next instance etc. etc.

Sulfuras and Ashkandi should be easy enough. Shadowmourne and Val'nayr will be a bit more tricky, and Thori'dal will be annoying as hell.

I think a achevment of that difficulty (i know it was hypothetical) for a mount that cool and unique is fitting. I wouldnt have it any other way

[Zoma]

There is already a person in my guild with thunderfury, sulfuras, and shadowmourne... but they only count after cata launch... FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU

Reward: Dark Phoenix Mount
Requirments:

We are Legendary (Achievement)
Death to the Deathbringer! (Achievement)

Now, I guess this would make it a rare mount :/

[Cernunnos]

I have no problems with "we are legendary" being required for the mount.

I have problems with the legendaries my guild currently has, not counting towards "We are legendary". As seems to be denoted by the blue post.

[Shinen]

Honestly, I think that by after cataclysm launch they mean that if you did obtain the mace back in ulduar, but the player who got it left the guild, it won't count, but if the player is still in the guild, I guess it will count.

[Nenavn]

I began my quest for Sulfuras, Thunderfury and Shadowmourne a few weeks ago. Now I'll just hold on to all the drops and mats until Cataclysm, then BAM! 3/6

[Dark Side]

Reward: Dark Phoenix Mount
Requirments:

We are Legendary (Achievement)
Death to the Deathbringer! (Achievement)

I dont get it?

Sunwell is rofflewaffles with any 10 competent level 80 players. I'm sure it'll become even easier in Cataclysm. By Ashkandi I think you mean Thunderfury and you forgot Warglaives as one of the most annoying.

Personally, I think either Shadowmourne or Warglaives will be the most annoying lgendaries to get, if only for the difficulty of grabbing enough players week after week for tiny drop rates/"hard" modes on 25. We'll see, though.

On Topic: I'd be totally cool with the dark phoenix or some equally-epic guild reward mount being unlocked after 'We Are Legendary' has been completed. Knowing Blizzard, though..I doubt it will reward anything but 'cheivement points and a large chunk of guild XP/Rep...assuming you haven't maxed those already after all this crazy grinding.

Kill Deathwing and obtain every legendary, making this Mount unavailable until you kill Deathwing as a Guild and your guild needs to be devoted enough to get every Legendary in game.
