Q u o t e:
Blizzard, you have mentioned certain achievements are too low probability to keep in the meta achievment such as:
" A Mask For All Occasions, where the probability involved was too low to be reasonably included in the meta achievement."
What about other extremely low probability achievements? Some that come to mind are Perma-Peddle, Lovely Luck is On Your Side, and Sinister Calling. Will these be going too?
It depends on the achievements; some we've removed from the meta, others have had their drop rates adjusted to be more reasonable, and still others are fine as they are. Understand that that statement does not mean that
all achievements based on chance are being removed from the meta, because that is not so. The achievement I referenced specifically required you to get 20 different masks from something on a one-hour cooldown, resulting in a probability much lower than, say, Have Keg, Will Travel.
We've no intention of removing chance entirely from the meta achievements, but the ones that still apply have reasonable acquisition rates.
