It’s pretty noticeable unless you die right away. I am very glad they increased the rep.
not really fastest way still is to finish quest and die and requeue lol
Once again, I’d love to have seen what actual engagement Blizzard got with this thing if it had NO rewards and was just purely for “fun” (or whatever sadist thinks this is what fun is).
Also if you used fire whirl ability your rep resets to 0 and you are prevented from queuing for 1 hour.

No, they heard the pvp crowd angry there was no incentive to kill people, so they added incentive to kill people.
The chest increase is a lie - I tested it myself. They did not increase the drops from chests by 50% like they claim.
Monster drops weren’t “significantly” increased either. The whole hotfix note is a sham and aimed to help the top 10 players in a match and no one else.

Nice, now the free kills in the early games are even better.
What’s even better with this change is when we go die in the storm when being chased means no rewards for those chasing us!

The people on general forum are going to be like those goblin in Diablo that drop a lot of gold.
I like how they are responding to feedback and there’s still people crying about it XD
When I log in next I’m going to try really hard to last as long as possible and see if I can tell the difference. So far I’ve been rushing to get the quest done then whatever happens happens.

Why are you just straight up lying?
I can provide video proof if I want.
It’s not hard to test this yourself.

currently it seems that the increase has not made it to all servers. I assume it will be coming with the restarts tomorrow morning.
I’m actively testing it right now. I had 1k plunder before I even had to fight another player. I got another 400 plunder from killing two players. I finished with over 1400 plunder. I used to average 500-600.
Don’t tell me that, tell the person who thinks the hotfix was a “sham” and they did nothing they said they did.
And I’m telling you the opposite.
I can literally provide videos of my fights. Even when I end up in the top 20, I’m LUCKY to leave with 500.
Blocking you for ignorance. <3
Amen Nikolo …same for me …storm going to kill me if I can make it too the storm wall if a player is chasing me…
Cool, hotfix works, it does what they say it does, maybe you’re just not very good?
Nothing of value was lost today.
My biggest issue was the fact that I was targeted and killed so quickly match after match, by people many levels higher than I was and with multiple abilities that they somehow got before I could even get one. Dying less than a minute into the game over and over with little to show for it is simply not fun.
And now with these changes, they’ve done very little to speed up how fast I can gain rep, while incentivizing the people that hunted me down and killed me so quick to do it even more and faster by increasing their reward for doing so.
Net effect: this makes it worse for PVEers like me there to just grind renown for the rewards. Yet it makes it hugely advantageous for the PVPers who were already making it virtually impossible for me to get enough rep before the event ends unless I literally spend hours a day being farmed by the PVPers.
And the icing on the cake: the blue post says they carefully considered all our feedback and heard us so here’s the changes! But instead of improving things for most of us, their changes make things worse for many of us. Talk about a slap in the face.
Well, Blizz, as I said before, this mini-patch and design already got me thinking that maybe I need to take a break from this game and go do something else for a while, perhaps try to find a game company that understands their own game and players.
Now with these changes illustrating what, frankly, can only be called incompetence in understanding the frustrations of many of your players and tons and tons of feedback, you’ve made it clear that I really do need to take a break from WoW.
And furthermore, it’s now got me thinking about whether or not this game is really a good match for someone like me, and whether Blizzard is a company I really want to be a customer of in the future.

Honestly, I’d love a game-mode where it was the top 3 to 5 win or something.
