In what meeting did they say lets have a boss battle once every X hours (instead of minutes) thinking that was a good idea. Then lets give the people this currency that you can realistically only get once per day if you get to the event in time and think that is a good idea. This is supposed to be the time for catchup gear for the alt armies that likely 100’s of thousands of us have if not millions of us have. People want the catchup gears so they might be able to get into a higher level raid and feel like they are contributing. This is another pre-expansion let down for certain. Hope this isn’t what we should expect out of TWW!
If you think that you clearly haven’t done the event yet.
These bosses per event should spawn not just once but a few times during the whole 90 mins of the event…same for 60 min and 30 mins time frame when it comes up…90 mins they could have the boss respawn in like 20 mins or 30 mins…60 min time one …respawn 20 mins…the 30 min 15 mins for respawn of boss…
No one is saying it won’t be replaced. The issue is that the gear is meant to bring people back, get them engaged, get them gearing/trying new alts, and to get them hyped…and this is accomplishing the exact opposite of that.
The event should be a quick and easy way to gear a new alt you want to try…and instead I’m just going to play the highest geared character I have (that isn’t awful on beta) because I’d rather play something else than set a calendar reminder to log in every 90 minutes for this. There is zero reason it should not have been set up to just have the event starting over consistently during that 90 minute period…just make it so you have a reduced, or no chance, to loot additional gear beyond the first kill each rotation.
Wrath event was awesome. Easily one of the best times ever in WoW. I actually had friends then too and I won’t ever forget it. Which is saying a lot because I have played many many games with thousands of hours put in. Even the gear was so cool to me I kept it for a long long time in my bank hoping someday I could use it but transmog was far far off so I got rid of it which sucks. It’s too bad new players don’t get to see how cool this game was back then. Like put some effort into the game guys. It’s really showing you don’t really care about this game at all. How hard would it have been to make this even worth half a piss? We got Remix over any real content which is lame. I was done with that years ago when ppl started breathing on stuff to kill it it was over for me.
I brought a lowbie to the event zone, and even the XP was crap.
Right!! Then having to wait for how long!? The boss should respawn Several Times within the 90 / 60 minute window whatever it is, not just once Blizz!
Great! I have alts I was planning to take through this pre-patch event. Sigh.
Are you serious? Like really? I got two pieces that were the same in 3 hours. Come on! The boss spawns once in 90 mins, not even the trash/mobs drop anything…oh wait 1 to 5 whatever currency it’s called, ohhh big deal!
I agree. Wish they would have added some more mounts or something to the vendor to buy
the blizzard that boughts us legion prepatch event is gone and dead.
what was that like?
pretty decent. was fun.
Why does the event have to be about getting stuff.
This is what these empty-headed designers think is content nowadays.
How about making the actual engagement in the process fun and exciting?
With every event we get closer and closer to mindless phone grinders where “playing” is nothing more than using your rotation on hapless mobs to collect uninspired currency to purchase pointless tat from cut and paste NPC 11123.
Seriously, do they even care a little bit?
Been saying this a long time as well.
I would give anything to play out a story that took 2-3 hours each week until TWW release that offered no reward other than “you finished dragonflight” achievement.
I don’t need or want anymore mounts, transmogs, pets, or toys. I want content.
It’s another event similar to remix where they have to keep players engaged as long as possible. This means waiting an hour and a half for each boss
its been super unfun so far

The mobs give a ton of experience! But no one really asked for that since we already had remix for crazy fast leveling. Honestly everyone should have like an army of 70’s at this point. I killed mobs for maybe a 1 minute and gained a level
What you dont enjoy wait 90 min cycles over and over? better play timer simulator!
Guess what, in a month it wont matter what drops in the event, you will replace it in a hour of game play in the new xpac. Great thing is, you wont even need the gear that drops even in the pre-patch, the junk you alts are wearing now will work in it as long as they meet level requirement.
It’s not about the item level. It’s the transmog
