I for one, beleive these portals should exist in all locations at the same time.
Especially since one of the portals is smack dab in the middle of an Alliance major city. Is the horde’s in the middle of Orgrimmar? Nope. So now horde players are EXPECTED and MANDATED to be flagged if the portals appear within Stormwind.
Who designed these portals to be randomized between three locations? Why can’t they just all spawn at the same time across all three locations. Giving players agency, and allowing them to play the game with the maybe limited time they have. Especially since this FOMO tactic event is only for 1 week.

I don’t care how they choose to fix it…I just want them to fix it. This random mess is pretty unacceptable.
But your ideas are good. I would be happy with that if that’s the way they went.

I think this is the way. Adds nothing in the way of gameplay to have it rotate. Poor planning in my opinion.

Speaking as an alliance player, I think its completely fair we get access to all 3 portals and you horde scum only get 2… jk jk… its actually pretty silly they did this.

I like your idea, it would also likely ease the server load. Some servers are crashing. An alliance allied race could be used for the stormwind one. That doesn’t solve the well, you’re right it could have been put outside the city, tbh, in a neutral area like the other portals point you made. I have alts parked at all 3 but this is a worse event than I recall the Diablo goblin one being (think those were farmable every half hour if I recall).

I agree
Id much rather be chilling in stormwind than bouncing around trying to find it.

Alongwith these changes, I also believe this event needs to be extended beyond 1 week.
A 1 Week FOMO WoW event is no fun. It literally screams “We absolutely do not value your time at all.”

This is a major thing, too. Some people were lagged so bad, they died, and didn’t even get a tag on the boss, because the release button was lagged out, too. This wasn’t implemented in the most efficient way at all, and it’s really aggravating a lot of people. All the while some players are running around already having the mount, hearthstone, and transmog set. I got one kill off the boss in Valdrakken and got a silly card worth 1s 80c that I could buy at the Shady Dealer.
It’s much worse. Most people had something decent after a couple of portals. PLUS, those portals were so consistent, addons and WeakAuras were able to track their locations and timers.
I truly hope this isn’t a foreshadowing of the 20th Anniversary event.

At this point I think I’d be fine with the portal spawning in at least ONE location.

Just like the Alliance is forced to get flagged and killed most times trying to do the Wickerman event in Halloween time…Horde can do the wickerman ouitside of SW and get away very easily but not the alliance…call it pay back maybe…

I also believe this should have been changed, and stated so during that event.
No major game event should be placed inside a hostile capital city.

It use to be outside of Undercity years ago till they moved it inside gate area…it use to be on the road as it curved away from UC heading away from Brill but it was next too the Wall of UC you still flagged but you could move fast out of sight back then…why they moved it sure pissed off much of the Alliance as the one for Horde stay where it still is now.
They use that area just outside the Stormwind gates for Everything else why not this?

Indeed. These portals were very bad even during the Diablo 4 FOMO event that occured, and it was discussed about how they shouldn’t be placed inside Hostile Major cities. Or placed around the entire world randomly.
But here we are, where no lessons were learned. Our feedback ignored.

Feels rushed. This is the quality they give to celebrate 10 years of a game. I mean 10 years of people giving them their money. :\

Got alts parked in the spawn for quick logging on the hour.
It’s like blizz expects every players to have alts at the go.

I dont know man, RNG based stuff. Feels like Hearthstone. No skill, no timing jsut pure RNG Luck! But dont you worry, They will drop that “Summon a random” Minion and get exactly what they need to beat you!
