I had one good event today where the only change was the debuff reduction from 1min to 20s before the other changes made it in. When I saw the blue post for the incoming changes, I was thrilled. “They did it” I thought to myself, but I was wrong. Hopefully they are aware of this implementation. Invisible for 20s, great. Now anyone you can see you know they’re worth blood. However, they stated the intent of the pacification/invisibility was so we could rebuff/get away. But:
-Can’t buff after res’ing for 20 seconds.
-Can’t summon pet.
-Can’t mount because my mount is a spell and I’m silenced.
-People are already back to camping the graveyard and the area immediately around it. Groups have also figured out where people will come out of invis on their way to the altar when the 20s is up and just camp there.
-Not really related to update but also don’t get soulshards from kills, which does compound the issue that I have to resummon every time, which I can’t do in GY.
This is worse than before for the obvious reasons above, but also Meta and Demon armor takes 60% of my mana, so I can’t viably do that and still have enough mana to defend myself from the rogue that will inevitably cheap shot me as soon as I come out of invis.
Please, for the 20s after resurrecting, remove the silence for non-harmful spells, and remove mana/resource cost for the 20 seconds, res with pet you had summoned, just how it is in BGs. Thanks.

The event is much better than before.
We can get blood again.
Better than 2 days ago, sure. Better than earlier when the only change implemented was the debuff duration? Not so much. Maybe if you’re a melee
Yeah the event as a warlock is absolutely pitiful. I’ve stopped participating.
I have to pre-farm 20-30 soulshards. And if I die i am basically just out of the match. There is no way to buff, summon pet and enter metamorph. That’s my entire mana bar.
if I have to mount up and re-enter metamorph that’s yet again 40% of my mana bar.
Blizz please… give warlocks some love in this event wtf

Make it an instanced event like battlegrounds the end.

So I had a lot more fun with these changes but I do hope they fix these issues.
Hunter pets should just res with you. Self buffs (maybe no priest bubble for instance) at the very least should be allowed.
I think they will, they’ve been having to really tweak the event regularly. I’m sure they’ll give it another pass or two. It is in a much better place though.

100% agree.
Allow mounting up, buffing self, and summoning pets. Just make the silence apply to attacking. It feels kinda bad to wait for the buff to drop off in order to pop aura and bom on myself, I can only imagine how frustrating it is to have to summon your pet. Not only that, but allowing mounting up allows for people to get out and away from the GYs if that’s really that much of an issue that the silence needs to be applied to everything.

I got 300 coins with my group yesterday farming mobs in a corner of the zone. Took about 15 minutes. Killed like 3 people only on the way to turn in the coins. It will take only 2 events to get an epic, I think it’s fine.
Would not do this event for fun, although it’s refreshing, just doing it for gear.
Like I said in my post… There was one event earlier in the day yesterday, after the blue post, where the only change implemented was the reduction of the debuff from 1 min to 20s. That was way better than before, and I got over 500 coins in that event, compared to the 280 I got after the full hotfix where I couldn’t do anything when I res and people are back to camping GY because they know as soon as someone comes out of invis and you can see that player they are worth coins.
