Am I missing something?
This is the entire event?
Do 3 minutes of “collect this and walk here” > kill the boss > event finished, farm mobs for 1-2 currency per for the following 85 minutes? Can’t be done on multiple characters in the same 90 minute timeframe, so literally the only option that isn’t ludicrously inefficient and boring is log in for 5 minutes every 90 minutes and pick one character to do it on?
Why?
Am I just completely missing the other massive part of the event?
Some of yalls expectations are crazy high.
This is like every other prepatch event since ever.
but, but…warbands! oh its bugged? well…dang.
I’m kinda excited the event is small scale. I didn’t feel like doing a buncha stuff in one place when I wanted to be another place doing similar, but still different stuff.
No, it isn’t.
Every event prior has:
a. Lasted much longer on a per-character basis each repetition
b. Been repeatable on multiple characters
Having 5 minutes of content on a 90 minute timer that cannot be done on alts is ludicrously insignificant, it might have been better if they didn’t bother.
It’s pretty lame. I have 0 desire to farm mobs. I’ll do the boss maybe 2-3 times a day for 1.5k currency, but farm this? Nah zzzz
From today thru August 5th, the event respawns every 90min.
From August 6th to August 12th, the event respawns every 60min.
From August 13th to August 26th, the event respawns every 30min.
Is that better?
I suppose slightly, but it still leaves the “event” having the relative impact of a particularly uninspired world-quest.
I figured people would have a bigger problem with how much farming it’s going to take to get everything. Someone needs to find the Gulp Frog farm for this event ASAP 
Uh no, they dont. That frog crap ruined it for everyone else and people who exploited it are why we cant have nice things.
It’s not crazy to expect something other than a 3 minute questline for a pre-patch event
From what I gather if you miss the initial event opening each 1.5 hr in a zone, you gotta wait til the next one and goodluck getting a tag on literally anything. So far I have yet to see the event cycle in the same zone for people just arriving. I stg they did not think this through.
Second event done… 8 minutes. 3 of the event circles were done before I even zoned in, 1 minute after it popped.
Wouldn’t want to be late!
This is embarrassingly bad. The last 3 have been… nothing special, but they were passable. This is shocking.
DF prepatch was kill elementals for a while in one zone and then go do it in another zone. It’s just a way to get 502 ilvl on new characters before launch day.
I’m just surprised everything seems to work. I expected there to be bugs. Ironic that throwaway content that will never be repeated seems to be what works just fine, as opposed to anything permanent which is usually broken right out of the gate.
What? you were expecting an entire expansion of content for a pre patch? First time?
Do we get a goodie that will help us on all our toons for the rest of wow like the BOA trinket?
Yes, but the elementals had mini-events all over the place, portals spawning stuff, you could see the boss working up all the time, etc etc. This is literally “kill random blue mobs for 5 minutes, boss spawns, boss dies in 20 seconds, kill random blue mobs for 85 minutes”. They literally could just be the same as the other mobs sitting next to them at level 10.
The fac tthat the event does not cycle for people who miss the initial boss spawn is unforgivable tbh
If you spend many, many hours farming ho-hum nameless white mobs you get an heirloom ring, I think. It’s not great, and it’s not functional over 70.
What a dumb reply. You should feel dumb.
