What a terrible, pointless change. It benefits no one.

I have an addon called Silverdragon, it tells me when a rare pops up when Iā€™m doing other things. Shows where they are on the map too.

Thatā€™s what he had been doing. Now it appears he despawns even though no one is there.

Thatā€™s because he believes the game would be much more successful if the majority of players would be removed.

Removing specific kind of players, like solo and casual.

Didnā€™t realize the minimap could be moved until I saw your stream <3

So whatā€™s the big gripe all about then, I guess I donā€™t understand? (not from you by the way). If thereā€™s an addon that you can still find them, whatā€™s all that fuss about, just that they take multiple people to kill?

because literally NOBODY does them.

What changed exactly? I literally just started ZC yesterday for a mog (The one you get from rares and treasures)

  1. Blizzard has actively ignored the suggestions given to them.
  2. Blizzard has now put a despawn timer on the rares. Unpulled rares despawn after 15 minutes now if nobodyā€™s in the ā€œimmediate vicinity.ā€
  3. They still require a group for the most part and are only soloable by a few classes. Those take eons to kill anyways.
  4. Thereā€™s few people in ZC doing any content (see #1 and #3)

So not only will things continue to suck, but that rare you see pop up on the map somewhere? Gone if you donā€™t finish the other rares in time.

Are the rares there full time, but now they just donā€™t show on the map?

thats exactly what happened with the new change. they despawn after 15mins.

Ah okay thank you for the detail

Ok last question if you donā€™t mind. If one despawns, thereā€™s still others, right? Once they despawn, is it on a timer to return, or is it completely rng?

im not positive on that.

I donā€™t think they are timed around each other really, but maybe they are. My biggest issue- is that before I would go and spend 30+ minutes trying to find ANYONE to help kill a rare that could drop a mount and still not find anyone. They have 15 million HP, it would take so long for me as a disc priest to even do that damage.

Now, I canā€™t even do that. For whatever reason the rares gonna go bye bye after 15 minutes. Then come back a few hours later for another 15 minutes. I wish they would either 1. Make the rares easier to solo. Or 2. Make the rares WORTH IT. Iā€™ve seen something mention making random little world quests for them

Geez. If the mount is cool, I could kind of understand the difficulty and hassle, but this seems like a lot of effort for a pretty basic mog

i thought they made it so the mob still stayed there as long as you tapped it within 15mins.

The rares drop dragon parts, maybe one or two toys, mogs and pets. I also understand the hassle of a mount, but the four I mentioned is not worth putting a group together and waiting for people to come around or sit in group finder for ā€œpoofā€ rare is gone.

The point of the matter is the content is no longer relevant, and the majority of the player base has their stuff thus no more need to kill rares or be playing in a zone that is finished.

Donā€™t need an entire raid that may or may not drop the item you are looking for from a rare.

Thereā€™s a rare in ZC that is surrounded by elite gold-plated enemies, thatā€™s the one that drops a toy.

Iā€™ve been killing them when people were around, itā€™s just RNG has not been kind to me, I still would like to have these items without going through loops and hoops.
