When time rifts went live they were so laggy and buggy and poorly setup that they were completely unplayable. It was common to do the whole thing but not evem make it into the boss room and great credit… Very frustrating!
It felt like such a low for WoW to release something so poorly thought out but when they made some changes and patched them up people instantly forgot and stopped complaining.
I wonder if they don’t bother fixing things before live anymore because they know once they do fix it, even after a terribly frustrating week for players, people will calm down and keep playing.
It’s a warband currency, just go to your hunter, click on the currency, click on the transfer button and send the currency automatically from your paladin to your hunter, then your hunter can shop.
I agree with this completely. It would be different if costs of rewards were anywhere near realistic, but they are not. Maybe they’re expecting you to get a pile of them as drops? But a handful of random drops are not going to cut it.
Or if you go out there and participate but then the event bugs out leaving everyone with no boss at all and the empty map saying there’s one more memory to attack… Apparently this is frequently the case with the Ony boss. Happened to me just now, but don’t worry, can come back at 5p to get it… except I’m at work at 5pm. So no completion for me today.
Sounds like you’ve run into the bug I did. The boss won’t spawn until you clear all the spots of memories on the map. Sometimes, however, the game tells you there’s one left when there isn’t and so it won’t spawn the boss since it’s waiting for you to clear a memory spot which isn’t there.
Complete agreement from me. The costs need to be changed pronto. As in with a damn hotfix. Anyone who bought something at the hyper inflated original prices should be refunded the cost. Don’t even bother to math it, just flat out refund the amount.
Making the bosses spawn more often doesn’t really help the situation of the wildly overpriced rewards since after you kill it once that week it’s worth basically nothing. It is the PRICES which need to change.
If you look, the one good thing they did was make the currency warband tradable, but there’s some wonky way to send currencies back/forth now which I haven’t looked into…
This is how I feel a majority of patches release. Full of weird bugs to fall into and that’s assuming the patch is playable. It’s really killed my patch day excitement. I used to run home to see new patches… now I count on kicking back on my couch cross stitching for a couple days while everything gets fixed.
It’s funny because I see people saying the same thing, don’t spend currency until the end of the event because blizzard will inevitably buff it somehow because it will dawn on them 2-3 weeks in that this is not fun and ppl aren’t playing so they will scramble to get ppl to actually engage.
It’s just such a lazy way to do this. They need to just make a better effort to make it fun and rewarding from the get go…
They did the same thing in remix, nerfed all the raids, increased the drop of that stupid currency after they literally said they weren’t going to do that.
Idk, just poor decision after poor decision.
Whoever, is spearheading these events should be examined, they are absolutely destroying any hype for the game event after event.
They might or they might not. I’m not spending anything now since the prices of the rewards are completely obnoxious and there won’t be enough currency. As the end of the event gets closer, I’ll assess the amount of currency I have and start to pick/choose which rewards are more important to me.
Same for me. Thankfully I had the subtitles on. Only for me all voice lines were muted somehow, even ones outside the cutscene. I reloaded the whole game and they worked after that. Second character to run the quest did hear it with spoken dialogue.
I can see this kind of thing happening the first hour that the servers come back up because its busy and buggy or w.e… but I did this last night at like midnight. There was like 3 people in the room with me, it wasn’t busy or laggy at all. I was actually surprised at how little people were there.
Just kinda weird and not a good look for them, didn’t one of the devs tweet that they have the best QA team in the industry like a month ago lmao…?
I am going to hold off buying any of the pets till near the end of this event…nobody has been able to say whether or not there is a chance for one of the Battle pets to drop from a boss yet…so I will wait and see…
Just another player in agreement with everyone else here. I did two remembered bosses — Dragonblight and then Searing Gorge — on my main and that experience reinforced what a waste of time this poorly designed and implemented prepatch event truly is. Based upon the speed by which the initial mob was put down, I wisely stuck close to where the boss spawns so I could at least tag 'em. It paid off.
Based upon the pathetic currency drops, using these events to “catch up” alts" is not a practical use of my time. Bah.
Oh, I agree. The timegating is ridiculous. I’m just holding out hope it doesn’t suck so much next week, since they seem to not want to do anything this week.
You’re right. It’s all became way too emotional and sensitive… I mean, damn, the game is called “WAR” CRAFT… But there is nothing remotely showing “WAR” with these characters anymore… All the characters are crying about something, explaining some “feeling” they had, worried about something, or “kissing and making-up”… I miss when there was legit ferocity and fervor and fire in the storylines and how the characters spoke would be strong and … well… like those who DO WAR !
Reading all the replies and looks like I’m not going to be putting down my ace attorney games for this event. Maybe even for the expansion, but it’s too early for that call.
The memories drop to slow and too little. Are we expected to literally grind for 1-3 memories per kill for the 90 minutes between bosses? A joke, an absolute joke.
The time limit…why? All three events should be going on at all times.
