We are receiving lots of feedback mostly about "unable to update my progress".
As you know, Patch 5.0.4 introduced "Account-wide" achievements. There are limited amount of account-wide achievements in-game.
In Armory all achievements are now account-wide.
That makes them completely useless for progression detection.
While we still can add boss kills,
that would lead to many false results which is why we stopped using character achievements.
Instead of character achievements, we are currently using guild achievements as a temporary solution.
The downside of guild achievements is that they are only for final boss kills.
So we are only updating final bosses at the moment: Heroic Madness and Heroic Ragnaros (the good part is these bosses define your final rankings, so final rankings are unaffected).
Blizzard Web Team is working on providing alternative data and
Peratryn promised to release it "very soon". We hope we will be able to do normal updates again in a couple of weeks.

Q & A (Read before posting comments)
Can you update my character achievements
No, the armory doesn't contain individual character achievements anymore
My guild killed Heroic Madness and it still wont update
Your guild still doesn't have "Heroic: Deathwing Guild Run" achievement.
Once there is the achievement, your progress will be updated.
10-man kill of Heroic Madness is missing
It is not possible to correctly identify 10- or 25-man kills now.
Anyone pretending to be doing it is doing a fake.
We are not going to include false results in our data.
25-man kill of Heroic Madness is missing

Can you update progress/achievements manually
Unfortunately no.

For the moment about 50% of characters have been refreshed.

Character achievements can be shown now in the armory even if the characters didn't get the achievements.

I like the guild progress being bound to the kill achievement, though. This way some "bad" guilds with a few good players who raid somewhere else don't get the credit for their boss kills. (Although it sucks for us as we're currently one man short for being a guild raid xD)

Shows we have the kill for 10m but for some reason it won't update properly here. 8(

It is not possible to detect 10- or 25-man kills, therefore the kill was not added to these rankings.

The armory doesn't have info about character achievements anymore.
It contains something called "account-wide" achievement info for all achievements, which is useless.
That's why we don't update character achievements anymore.
The fact that your guild has the guild achievements doesn't mean that your character has it.

and I was present in the raid group full 10m guild run.. Yet it is not reflected on my wowprogress. Why? I have read your posts and you say that if the guild don't have it it won't show but my guild DOES have it and still it doesn't show...
A little help?

So at the moment there is no reliable way to say if the kill was in 25-man mode.

Is there no way to acknowledge "oh look 20+ received this acheivement on this RECENT date"?
Our "Final" rankings aren't accurate because they are compared to the plethora of 10 man guilds which are no where near as easy to manage.
Appreciate the replies though. Thank you for clarifying.

In what way PVE score was calculated for those who have it?
kernel#2961
PvE scores going to be reset in MoP anyway.

The problem is when raid progression shows that the boss was killed. In this case we don't know when exactly the boss was killed because this character can be an alt.
It's possible to build workarounds. For MoP I'm building very complicated workaround system.
But workarounds don't work well in later stages of tiers. When 20% of guilds killed the final boss the data is spoiled.

Would it possible to track kills pulling the same data that blizzard uses on specific characters, at the bottom of the armory page? If we can type in character names that are involved in the kill, and that bar at the bottom updates, and players received loot, wouldn't you be able to award progression that way?
