Event progress system issue that could be corrected by putting the event on a timer?

Better gut the dynamic layering system and slow the progress counter down so much it effectively breaks the event anyways.

Can we at least try to make the Ashenvale event playable? As a horde player on Wild Growth - we literally lose every single event because the Alliance outnumber us so significantly nobody bothers to show up anymore.

And then we need to wait like 4 hours for it to be ready again, just to lose. So even less people show up now.

At least put it on an hourly timer to incentivize people showing up. If it is every 4 hours, that means it will happen while I am working during the day once or twice and I might be lucky enough to get to participate in one event after work.

The increased reputation from bosses literally don’t matter considering the horde can barely kill 1 boss at the best of times, most times we lose all our blademasters and we can’t even down 1 grove keeper.

Same. Last event was around 4pm central on crusader strike. It’s 9pm now and we are still only at 85%/74%. The zone is dead

GG you guys actually turned something fun into something terrible. How hard is it to have common sense at this point?

I’ll just add my 2 cents here that the new changes feel terrible. The event needs to fire way more often than it is now.

Edit: Just wanted to add that my feelings have nothing to do with rep gain. I already have the rep I care about. The event is enjoyable and I am saddened that it happens to rarely now. I thoroughly enjoyed popping into an Ashenvale Battle every couple of hours before. Once every six hours on the most populated server is depressingly infrequent.

It was 6 hours between battles. So twice the rep, but events happening 84% slower. Guess I should have AFK farmed like others did before you fixed that.

after waiting 6 hours for the battle to start, im kicking myself for not farming it sooner like everyone else.

this feels really, really bad.

Let’s add some sort of daily or weekly quest similar to drums for a big reputation gain. Maybe a shard collection quest with less from smaller bosses and more from the final boss. The layering change that accompanied this Ashenvale fix just doesn’t feel good right now, and battles take forever to start. The first mover advantage on this event was just too unfair.

Ashenvale on Shadowstrike right now is completely bugged and unable to be completed. The “fixes” for us have made things worse up to this point where we cannot do anything to complete the event besides waiting for the timer.

Here is a picture of the map that I edited with each mouseover so you can see what it’s saying.

how about fixing the actual event itself? the horde had all bosses killed and as we headed to the final boss, the entire event reset to 3/3 and 60 minutes and it despawned everything including the final boss. both factions are now just afking in town waiting for the pity draw rep.
I’ve also had the event not even spawn the bosses before.
Fix the event so it actually functions…?

And now in the next event the bosses haven’t even spawned.

You need to give all mini boss rep to everyone who tags ANY mini boss in ashenvale during the event. Currently the only motivation is to get one shot off, go tag the next, tag the next, go HQ.

Its not even twice the rep. Only mini bosses are doubled, and you only get that if you make it there to tag.

All I know is that I got rev last night and have now washed my hands of it.
