you can only get the essences for the ring from the events and boss so you got 3 minutes to do it every 1 hour and 30 minutes
Yup, the actual event takes 2 mins to complete, then you sit in timeout for 90 mins.
You can choose to kill mobs for 1 memory each if you enjoy being a memory laborer.
Can anyone explain why this is not spawned on a per character basis within the timeframe like… every other event in the past decade? Like they have since they invented sharding? Why the heck would they lock out the rest of a roster of characters so you can only do one per 90 minute cycle? The gear is ilvl 480 for crap’s sake.

Was it Cata when the pre-patch event was just random groups of elementals showing up in Org/SW ? Then they unintentionally aggroed on and killed low levels toons trying to vendor crap. The fix was to remove aggro and everyone just ignored them lol.
This isn’t even that bad comparatively.
So what I’m hearing is, do not be late to the boss and spam everything you got to get at least one hit in? Oh man I hate that kind of eventttttttttttt… blizzaaaaaard…
And ONE memory each? I really hope that ain’t the case. Maybe it’ll be like the last pre-xpac? Where you can get a hit in on each group if you at least try…?

So…the boss only shows up once every 90 minutes? And if you don’t get there the second it happens, you’re sol?
That doesn’t make sense. How do you even manage to get to the right area within the zone before half the server kills the boss?

First PrePatch? This is what the PrePatch Events have been like for the past few expansions.
Heirloom ring iirc

Not saying I disagree, but…which events? DF’s really the first expansion to go as heavy as it has with ‘events’ like this one. I can’t think of others off the top of my head, especially not ones that were ‘per character’ and not inside of a queued instance.
The surprising thing to me would be not having overly-aggressive sharding moving players while they’re in the middle of the event, but since these things aren’t taking place in DF zones, the sharding tech probably isn’t even enabled.
there should be a boss spawn every 5 minutes lol. 90 is INSANE

First time reading a thread? You should try a bit harder, because you’re wrong and this has already been addressed multiple times.

Why would I read through the entire thread? Ya’ll just cry over anything possible.
It’s been out for half an hour. Maybe read up on things ahead of time.
Portals to each zone and the boss has like a 20 second cast before you can hit it.
Still an absolute garbage way of doing it though.
The regular mobs should probably drop more memories each than 1. It would at least make it more viable to farm them rather than killing literally 10,000 mobs for a pet or around 2000-8000 for a piece of gear. Each.

you gathered correctly. Pretty bad quest flow to start the pre-patch quest, be told to go somewhere for echoes and show up there with a big message to wait an hour or so for next event in another zone.

so the event is active for 2 hours. its completed in 15 minutes. and then you can’t do anything for the next 1 hour 45 minutes? lmao okay.
It should be up 24/7 and only able to loot it once per that time period. Forcing everyone to be there at the exact minute of the event start or miss out is dumb.

Seems pretty uneventful, even by pre-patch event standards.
