Absolutely no one is doing rares anymore lol :sadface:

This doesn’t apply to the area because most rares have a wait period before they can be attacked.

Add to that we all have flying already…

You can get most of the way across the zone in the time a rare activates.

Indeed, no need for them to have so much health. Just scale them on tags as you said.

It’s hit or miss on my server. Yesterday was just sad… Could see pretty much all the rares up at once.

I mean… I’m a raider, but I did some of the rares for the cosmetic rewards, which is now a quite painful process. Now even I don’t have any reason to be there in this zone most of the time.

After all this feedback I was under the impression that they would reconsider this decision and act quickly to revert it, but the silence and inaction is a bit concerning.

I’m sure there would’ve been a way to find a middle ground. Either the rares are small elite guys like most rares in normal DF zones that can be run over by one single person in less then half a minute - or the rares are massive sponges that require a whole group of people and then still take ages to die. Something in between would be nice.

At this point, they should just have them spawn at the rare arena.

After every zone goes through a downturn phase, they all get ported to a Maldraxxus like spawn location and the NPC’s help you fight them.

I’m sure the brokers around somewhere.

I think the idea was casuals would “raid” these guys like semi regularly and this was their main source of loot.

Blizz came right out and said they whernt or aren’t meant to be that. Other than the puzzle rooms and WQs there isn’t much more down there. I feel like what we got was pretty good. There’s just so little of it and it’s over so fast. The snail racing while cute isn’t a real draw either. Even though I’ve been having fun over there. It’s just like an activity that is sorta zen garden to me.

Being able to farm gold or pet tokens would be nice… or something else I guess… ill just go up and do rares and farm essences top side…

It’s because Ion and Co want to kill world content so they can have their lobby based dungeon and raid utopia game. They don’t give 2 ****s about any other type of player, and never will as long as he and his little cronies are in charge.

I gave up on it.

There’s a few rares that drop the drake manuscripts that I want but, their drop rate is low, coupled with not many people being around. It’s just a rabbit hole I no longer want to go down.

I’m waiting for the use of our old mounts to be dragonriding capable.

Except we got even less dungeons and got an lfr that is just not that visually interesting. The mechanics are fun and all. It’s not a bad raid… it’s just not immersive like EP. Or ICC. Or the legion raids.

Like peak raid immersion for me was Za’quul that dude rocked.

And ashzaras little court.

They need to scale rewards. 2500 IO players should get wrym crests from the open world.

Make stuff from open world BOA so we can send them to alts.

Change rares to be phased content. Show up at the spawn point and the game automatically groups and phases players to take on the rare so its more like an instanced boss, and more of an engaging challenge.

Running around tagging rares is bottom tier content.

It’s painful cause I recently changed up my main going back to my Mistweaver and I need to catch up on my ring which requires keys and well literally no ones doing rares like Forbidden Reach is usually just covered in unkilled rares all of them up just chillin.

Like had to rely on joining groups to get enough keys to get my stones as my Evoker only had one left and whilst I’ve finally managed to get all my stones I still need 31 more of that fragment currency to upgrade all of them which means more keys.

Zone is empty.

Sadly too, if you don’t do elders first day or two after the reset, no one is really doing them later in the week. I keep hearing the loot is bugged on them, so that’s probably stopping people too. If they dropped 1500g each week, I’m pretty sure people would do them regardless of loot as that’s a good amount of gold worth someone’s time.

I don’t like random rare farming. Give me a nice world quest to kill that bad boy.

So… are there just way less open world players than everyone claimed? Do the open world folks actually need the geared group content players to be active? Maybe something people should have considered before complaining so much.

Then it seems the world content only folks need to adjust their feedback.

No, they just recently changed the lock out so one can do them again for 5 days. People were killing them just fine before the change.

I feel like you’re just trying to be difficult here.

I don’t do them coz the map location isn’t accurate like the rare is in a cave and make you look for them. Why not show you the cave entrance instead and as you enter it show the actual location.

As others have mentioned, it doesn’t help that the rares in ZC can now only be killed 2x per week instead of everyday.
