Hi Reconbravo,
Could you explain how waiting afk for an addon alert every 2-3 hours contribute to actual good gameplay? a fun experience.
It only contributes to open WoW in a second monitor and play or watch another thing in your main monitor. It’s not like farming a really low drop from a specific NPC that has multiple camps, groups of the same npc or doing Stratholme 100 times for the Reins. Your fellow council members are talking about improvements in order to provide a better experience, not removal.
Still thanks for your feedback but you’re not talking about the amount of time that a character isn’t doing anything in game just waiting a respawn, we’re providing feedback because we want to allocate that time in other content, that’s the issue with RNG, it should be handle with a good balance between attempts (respawn times, frequency of kill if its 1 rare or a specific mob) and the drop %. And we’re not asking for 100% drop but fixes like a better respawn, so a player can do its daily kill and move to another content.
Hey Nonoa, I understand your point about 2 different kind of rares, however; usually the long respawn rares that have a “cosmetic” item like TLPD, Aeonaxx have it 100% drop, meanwhile there’s still cases with low % like Soundless and Huolon and you’ll find threads and feedback about those for years because, what do you do between respawns?
I just read that during Blizzcon Q&A Devs said this about Archaelogy:
The Archaeology triangulation minigame isn't planned to return, as it was largely considered to be more tedious than fun
At least with that archaelogy method, you were moving around compared to waiting for an addon alert regarding a rare, Isn’t this tedious too?
I understand the fun aspect of a “rare” respawn but how do you fix the issue of AFK time in the game waiting for an alert from an addon, you’re not doing anything else, maybe due to your time constraints you can’t kill it often, Should devs add another way to trigger the rare respawn by killing near mobs for an item or another way to acquire the same cosmetics?
Btw, I really like your idea of adding content to older zones like rares, I hope some expansion bring world quest around the whole World for a reward instead of only the current expansion zones matter.
