Also by stretching it like they are with 90 min everyone is gonna be desperate to be on making the lag worse i would guess instead of letting people go and do it at their own choosing
I did the event once and gave up. Not fun, not rewarding, and too long between.

Yea, it isnāt good. I was only able to do 2 of the events last night. Waiting around for 90 min in between is way too long and boring. I dunno if I will even do this anymore until it goes down to 30 min. Even then why do we have to wait at all?

30 mins??
or 10 mins?
the boss is dead in first 5 mins anyways
Even 15 minutes can be long. Just set a zone with a body count for the zone - like the pvp stuff. After so many spirits in the zone are killed the boss spawns. ez
Thatās about the truth of this event nowā¦why I just park my toon that I am doing at the spot were the first big mob spawns kill it then wait till the Main Boss shows up in same spot and kill it and be doneā¦no more chasing smaller mobs its just not worth the hassle for 1 to 5 RM from each one some timesā¦you donāt always get RM from smaller mobs eitherā¦Iāll just run more characters though for the 1.5 K and 500 RMā¦once they have done all their weeklyā¦then just do the event for the 500 off the boss kill each time ā¦
If I had to redo this event it would increase the currency reward on the other mobs. Small ones 10 and elites 50. Suddenly grinding them will become worthwhile. Also these would be in all three zones at all times to spead out the players. There would be no long countdown for the big bosses, they would instead by summoning them by hunting the small mobs. Everyone that contributed to the summoning will automatically get credit and loot from the boss regadless of where in the zone they are. Those that do the boss killing would get a complimentary minor extra currency. Only ONE kill per boss and character per day count fully but the complimentary extra cash of currency will always be given. This cash are small enough to not be worthwhile camping the boss though.

You would think Blizz being bought by Microsoft wouldnāt make the game more boring but here we areā¦
Time gated for an hour and 30 to kill things in 5-10 min and repeat.
How is this it? We went from wrath and legion pre expansion toā¦ Whatever this bug mess isā¦
The math aināt mathinā on that.

WotLK prepatch was fun.
Legion prepatch was rewarding for alts.
TWW prepatch is not fun or rewarding for alts.

Itās just waitingā¦ For 5 min of something to kill thatās basically a glorified old raid boss. Nothing to it. Not even really interesting story wise. Did one and was like āwowā¦ Welp back to keys I guess.ā. But then I just logged off after one key because Iām just not really motivated lol

Also this prepatch has only 4 main cosmetics: 2 pets and 2 mounts. All 4 of which used vanilla era models and polygon detail. Severely disappointing that theyāre still rehashing such ancient garbage.
Sure thereās the legion era armour mog. So thatās something I guess. And a few miscellaneous weapons which seem to be a mix of cata era quality and later.
They want you to kill boss then grind the mobs for currency till the next event. Pretty much it.
Grinding in DF content is better than sitting around for spawns for prepatch event.

I logged in expecting at least an hour long quest chain and some open world mob to boss fights like their were in the last several expansions but instead found myself reading text that said I had an hour+ to wait while suggesting I could kill mobs if I was bored. Like it was a perfectly legitimate option to do nothing but wait and watch a timer count down.
And I thought the last several events were minimal viable products. At some point you have to wonder if the race to the bottom is entirely on purpose.

I am not a fan of saying āeverā on this, but I am comfortable saying its one of the worst WoW experiences in recent memory.

The BC event wasnt just a tab
They added the rank 13-14 items to be farmed by spamming BGs like AV. Leading to massive participation (same thing happened in Classic TBC launch).
That was better than this set ur timer every 90 mins garbage
Ive played since the WoW Beta, and this is the worst prepatch event I have ever seen.
Remember fun times like Icecrown citadel?
Where we waited outside raid for 90 minutes and then cleared the trash in 4 and I tagged the Arthas with moonfire JUST IN TIME and got my loot?
Remembrancer Amuul remembers.
