TWW 11.1.7: Missing Horrific Vision Masks achievements – How to fix
Learn why your Horrific Visions masks achievements might be missing in Patch 11.1.7 and how to fix the issue with this simple workaround.

Key takeaways:
- Achievements may not trigger unless the exact number of masks is used. Completing a higher-mask run (like 8-mask) won’t always grant lower-mask achievements, such as the 5-mask one.
- The bug is mainly affecting Stormwind Visions. Reports show Orgrimmar runs function normally, suggesting the issue is isolated to Stormwind.
- A workaround exists: match the mask count exactly. To ensure achievements unlock, players should rerun Visions with the specific number of required masks.
As we enter the third week of Horrific Visions in World of Warcraft, players are encountering an increasingly frustrating issue: certain mask-related achievements aren’t unlocking as expected—particularly in Stormwind.

The issue with Horrific Masks achievements
Players attempting to earn Masks achievements for completing Horrific Visions with a specific number of masks active have reported a strange bug. If you complete a Vision with more masks than the achievement requires, the achievement may not trigger. For example, completing an 8-mask run might not unlock the 5-mask achievement, even though it logically should.
This issue seems to occur mainly in Stormwind Visions, with Orgrimmar runs functioning normally.. One player, Dawadoid, discovered this firsthand after completing an 8-mask Stormwind run but not receiving credit for the 5-mask achievement. A subsequent run using exactly five masks successfully awarded the achievement.
Not a single-time occurence
Dawadoid’s experience isn’t unique. Numerous reports have surfaced from players experiencing the same issue—mask-related achievements only unlocking when the exact number of masks is used. While not all players are affected, the pattern is clear enough to suggest a bug rather than isolated error.
Horrific Visions Masks bug fix
Until Blizzard implements an official Horrific Visions Masks fix, players are advised to complete each achievement using the exact number of masks required. This avoids any risk of the system failing to register the achievement.
Conclusion
While not game-breaking, this bug adds unnecessary frustration to the already challenging Visions content. Given that it only affects certain achievements and not all players, it may not be a top development priority—but players are hoping for a permanent fix soon.
