One of my readers has either taken pity on me for my... condition or he's tired of my faux NyQuil-induced ramblings. Here's what Luis had to say about his submission.

Since you seem to be sick right now and I've had this idea in my head for a long time, I finally got around to do it.

Got the idea a few months ago while leveling my hunter alt, and well, disengaged myself out of the Outlands while fighting a mob. As allways, my guildmates were busy earning their Achievements, and I just thought "I should have earned one for this..."

Luis has some more work you can check out at: http://noxangelus.deviantart.com/

If you believe he's not just trying to shut me up, go check out his stuff.
Thanks Luis!

"gz" is short for "gratz" which is short for "congratulations"

Thanks Luis!

Oh and just in case you were being honest about Gz it means congratulations (think grats)! ^_^

Hope you feel better soon Woody!

hilarious, all I can say.

Think everyone has had similar stories where you went like 'I so deserved an achievement for that'

it would be fun if one could get an Achievement for experience the most bugs =p Like when Prince was bugged and suddenly went unattackable, Achievement! When Lade Vasjh respawned a few minutes after she died, Achievement!

Grats!!

Grats!

I got my "Going down" achievement by having a magnataur bounce me from Borean Tundra into Sholazar Basin with one of his attacks.

This reminded me of something strange which happened to me ingame a couple of weeks ago.

I was doing the 'Aces high' daily (which I'm not very good at) and managed somehow to get myself killed (I may have aggroed one of the elite dragons which aren't even part of the quest). I was on my priest at the time and specced holy, so I ended up floating down to the ground in the Spirit of Redemption form. I was quite surprised when I landed and got the 'going down' achievement from it.

As a mage I tend to jump from places and cast slowfall or click off my flying mount and wait until 30 yards from the ground to cast slowfall to get down quicker.

On of the recent changes made slowfall castable on other people...I died a few times before turning on the "Auto self cast" for my mage...which I rarely need except for that spell. In guild chat we were saying that should be a the "Going way down!" achievement.

The other one we joke about is drowning...sometimes you just don't pay attention to the breath bar or you are forced to drown...I was in wintergrasp and in the water killing elementals when I was jumped by a rogue...I forced him to blow a few cooldowns and the elementals got me. I made it back to find him mining a node and apparently he hadn't come up for breath in the meantime as I nova'd him, cone of cold'd and he died really fast and I only did like 2k damage to his full health...we call that one "Deep see diving"

I was bored, and going for my elders achievement, so running around nekkid in case of death. My 80 hunter did the Strat speed run on the Baron, starting nekkid, and only using whatever dropped along the way. My pet was 75, and the only gear I had was my arrows. Lucky a bow dropped before the baron. Oh, and I had to start from live side, because I didnt have my key yet. And no, no Baron Mount, but I did get my hunter pants to drop!

That deserves an achievement.

Hell, doing any dungeon nekkid does.
