This event is already leaving a sour taste in my mouth. It’s only a week. There are some cool items I really want and not everyone can hit the hourly portal every single time for a low chance at useful loot.
I hope they either buff the drop rate or increase the timer on the portals. Perhaps a portal rotates every 20 minutes to a new location and takes an hour to loop back around to the same location. Either way, for a TEN YEAR celebration I expected something more.
The drop rates aren’t bad, just make sure you don’t have any uncommon wild cards on your char, maybe it was just last night but once I got rid of my stack of 10, every time I killed dr doom I got an item.
Nope …this is a Network File System (NFS) down time not a game program downtime…
I’m questioning how low those chances are. I’ve run the portals about ten times and I’m only lacking the mount and bag. I’ve seen the mount drop for a friend on the first portal he did. It dropped for my husband on his second. They’ve also gotten several of the other items already. I’ve seen some folks on the forums say they’ve already gotten them all. So while we have no hard numbers regarding drop rates (or, at least I don’t), I don’t think they’re all that low. But RNG can be cruel.
They’re bad for anyone who can only play a couple hours a night or so. Especially when the bosses spawn in a jumbled mess of times and locations (though I guess they finally managed to hotfix that (after the Alliance got to farm the boss nonstop for half the day)). I’ll probably get the stuff I want (honestly only want the mount) because I’m in an unfortunate situation that allows me to play a lot each day, but if things were better and WoW were just something I got to do for a bit in the evenings I’d be really worried. One or two chances a day for a week isn’t great.
Pretty much. I’ve gotten the bag on one toon, some additional true cards (not the stupid fake ones) on various toons and the pet and tabard so far. A few more events and I should have all the real cards achievement completed and probably the mount or more mogs at least.
However there are also those times when I only get the stupid fake cards. So there’s that.
The other option is they just mail the stuff to you so you don’t have to do anything. That sounds fun right?
I spent about 3 hours on and off yesterday and got everything minus pet.
What was wow’s 10yr event?
I am hoping they apply a hot fix or something to stabilize the spawn times for the event. It wouldn’t be a bad thing if they did increase the drop rates on the rewards as well, especially since yesterday was a hot mess and the game is gonna be down for a good portion of the day today.
It’s only a week. Upping the spawn times or the drop rates or both isn’t gonna do anything to change the fun other than have fewer disappointed players at the end.
There’s probably room for variety between those extremes. Imo holidays should have currency people can do tasks for and a vendor with the items you can buy. GW2 does this for all their holidays and it’s done incredibly well.
No. The other option was to have a vendor with all items on it, for HS card currency you earned from participating in games (win or lose, add more tables) and killing the boss during the week so that over said week people were able to buy everything from earning currency.
Let’s use some logic here.
drop rate seems fine. how you know the drop rate is low? i got the rare mounts after 4 portals.
right? …it’s almost as if it’s Hearthstone’s birthday, and not WoW’s.
Oh nice. Congratz. I have fallen out of favor with the rng gods, so my chances are not very good. It took me until 2022 to get the Headless Horseman’s Mount despite running 6-10 toons through that dungeon every single year. I did get Reno’s Hat, the belt, tabard and the Hearthstone toy (that didn’t do anything when I clicked on it).
I am gonna be heartbroken if I do not get that adorable little mouse.
EDIT: The rng gods must have been in a good mood today…I got Sarge on my first event kill after the servers came back up… Very happy 
RNG can be a son of a… i feel like the more you want something the less the RNG wants to give it to you
This is why I wish the portals were every 20 minutes. This hour apart nonsense wrecks players who can’t play WoW 8 hours a day.
