Anybody who wasn’t grinding xerath mortis from the beginning is going to have a hard time competing with people who have flying to kill the rares they need to get flying…
Doesn’t that seem like a pretty big oversight? Or was it done intentionally to spite people who wanted to skip the normal time gating by doing something else for the first few weeks?
Join custom groups and this is a non issue. (it’s already a non issue though)
The flying is east to get, even if people start now… just just the campaign to chapter 6 then some achievements which are really easy to complete
You have to kill like 3 rares. DL an addon that tells you what’s up or being killed. Either way, rares aren’t actually being killed nonstop, they’re only being farmed during reset hours or reset days… If you run around you will find rares.
its basically pathfinder 2.0. with all the crap again.
I refuse to do it. Going out of my way to NOT get flight for this zone.
It’ll escalate. Rest assured. “we listened and we changed our behavior”.
No…Ion…you didnt. Pathfinder was fine with renown. We didnt need to have a checklist again for this tiny little zone, but here we are.
Set your hearth to haven, use the 5 minute hearth reducer enchant, and hang around the opposite of map. This will allow you to get to either side of the map quickly.
Make sure you also have the shardhide toy keybound. If you don’t have this get it immediately in Korthia. It allows you to travel very quickly on a 5 minute CD. The rates that spawn really close to a town tend to die quickly, but with your hearth and transporter use you shouldn’t have a problem getting there.
Thought it was ten?
They reduce it?
That might be true if people in custom groups didn’t have flying and blast down rares before you can get to them.
Well, it does to broken rep system. Now it’s hard as all get-go to acquire rep in-game. I killed about 8 rares and it barely made a dent. Meanwhile, you get tons of good reps just doing normal raids trash NPC. If that makes any sense, please inform me.
weird these was edited.
I did it in a couple days without flying but yeah it was a tad annoying. It isn’t impossible though just takes some patience, and there are buffs to mount speed as well you can use to try and help.
That 10 whole rep you’re missing out killing a rare isn’t keeping you from flying.
Just do the campaign, the weekly and the world boss. If you want horrible diminishing returns then go find rares.
The tears are wonderful. Keep it up!
Two options. Warmode and early morning
You had 4 weeks of no flying to down 10 rares… I see this as a you problem.
It does, it’s like they don’t know their own player behavior. Very few people in this game seem willing to go out of their way to help out.
Though there are plenty of other ways around it… group finder being the obvious one, others suggested here. Find a friend with flying and have they take you around on a 2 person mount is another.
I’d don’t love mounting up to run to the fight only to get there as 30 people go flying off seconds after it’s down. But it’s not impossible to get done, just more of a pain in rear.
Think of it as a blizzard timegating mechanic… instead of them doing it though they give the opportunity to other players.
It really isn’t. It took no time at all to get those achievements.
If you have to try to not get flying, then it’s not difficult to get.
The bulk of your rep comes from the campaign and world quests. Farming rares isn’t going to get you far. And rep isn’t a requirement to fly.
This IS the guy who thought players would just ignore his removing flight, lol
of course he is out of touch with the player base…thus the reason for the state of the game overall.
and a list of them with that ‘screw you’ attitude have been posting about this very thing in here. lol
Some ‘MMO’. lol
jesus… 
yes…it literally is.
we had flight for RENOWN. NO list.
now we are back to the list.
dont matter how long it took, its a list again.
point>>>>
you…
I posted about this topic on Tuesday. And though I was mostly trolled, I did get 2 people offering to fly me around, and lots of suggestions (like group finder) that gave me a bit of perspective.
I still think it’s bad design, but I’m resigned. Everything in this expansion feels gated - this is another one Blizz put in for the community to gate itself.
You get it just by playing the game and exploring the zone. People on flying mounts aren’t going to beat you to every rare. Especially if they happen to spawn right next to you while you’re doing dailies and stuff.
