Did you know a whole transmog mini game only takes place for 5 days twice per year?
YES! TWICE PER YEAR… While other games have mini games all the time, WoW has dakmoon faire once per month and worst for this mini game.
I hope someone from CC forums with tmog focus talks about this topic. The new boots for Trolls, Tauren… Other races are available only during that time, if you miss it, well good luck setting an alarm for the next one on 6 months…
Devs should remove the free tmog cost and let the event always up or at least once per week.
I think it should be for every month at the end of the month for the week, like a second Darkmoon Faire. Keep the free xmog too
All the time would mean less players would participate (because there’s no urgency anymore) and queue times would go up quite a bit. Once per week is fine but could screw over players that happen to have no access to WoW that particular day.
Trial of style was probably my favorite event they had added. I was kinda bummed it only was for 5 days twice a year.
Also i think they should make it so it lets you buy replicas of any old armor or weapons that you can no longer access, or allows you to use the points to transmog some pieces of gear you can’t equip normally, (so yes you could see a cloth “wearing” in plate armor), cuz once i had done the grind with my characters the first time and unlocked what was available, I had no incentive to keep going back.
nah it should be at least 1 per week, it doesn’t provide too much, it’s more for the fun to compete with others with a random aesthetic every time, it’s a fun little feature but wasted due to its iterations.
That’s way too often for an event. There’s a reason why weekly events rotate in games.
I like the idea of once a month at the end of the month. But they’d have to give out a slew of new rewards for it to stay interesting. Which isn’t going to happen.
So we need to think about a pace that works where they can add more to it more often to keep it interesting.
True if you think from a reward perspective, but i think from a POV on which the gameplay is enough to keep it alive, i mentioned once per week bc i know that FFXIV has some sort of tmog challege per week. But i would like any month/week rotation instead of twice per year because sometimes i forgot is a specific week and i don’t take too much participation on the mini game.
This has always depressed the hell out of me. Mog is a MASSIVE part of why I play this game! EVERY Trial of Style should introduce more cosmetics with how rare it is. Other option: 2x/yr new cosmetics but a monthly occurrence of Trial of Style.
Right now, i don’t havea good incentive on mind to have it every week, but i bring the topic because i like that mini game and those shouldn’t be on the current state.
I think FFXIV provides their version of darkmoon faire currency but they keep it always up and players like to do minigames compared to most of WoW’s old mini games.
Maybe they can add a loot box with gear from old expansions as bad luck mechanic for some transmogs, so they don’t have to create new tmogs every time.
Disagree with this part, I would be good with about one per month and the free transmog should absolutely stay. I wouldn’t be willing to participate in a contest where I have to pay 500 gold every round. And then another 500 to change back to the transmog I actually want to wear.
As much as I would like to see it more often, but until they start updating the event and its rewards more often, I doubt people would run it that much. Still don’t get how an event that only comes twice a year can be forgotten about so much that it’s only gotten how many updates. I mean they can’t even keep the once a year events updated. Until Blizz shows they can meaningfully keep these events updated, keep it on its current schedule. Once they start updating it regularly, then have it more often.
At least from my pov, i don’t feel it as an event, it’s more like a mini game.
Events like holidyas need updates on pve and pvp aspects and also those are reflected on zones with decorations and other things, the trial of style it’s just a queue NPC on Stormwind/Orgrimmar and the free mog cost.
