15 minutes rare despawn hotfix resulted in issue with evading

Community General Discussion

Hello.
So I really want to be heard.

Unpulled rare elites in Forbidden Reach and Zaralek Caverns should now despawn after 15 minutes, unless players are in their immediate vicinity.

This change is outrageous! No other hotfix before pissed me off this much.

I pulled Kob’rok and because i was in tank spec, i didn’t manage to kill it in 15 minutes, it took longer. So when the Kob’rok was like close to 15% HP guess what happened. It despawned for a brief sec, like evaded, and was full HP again and i had to waste another 15 minutes of my lifetime to actually tryhard and kill it. Because with new gear from patch it has for me 13.5m HP, before patch it was ~10m. What’s the point of gearing if it makes you waste even more time solo? Trash, absolute trash decision.

I want to be heard, I want the hotfix to be reversed. I want better options!

I’ve not understood any of the changes they’ve made to Zara Caverns since the second week it came out.

i mean this is suppose to be another version of timeless island right where hunting rares and mass murdering frogs was the main activity :smiley: its not like the interns who made this played mist :smiley: i guess

I wish they had simply done the only logical fix to the issue. It’s not that hard. It’s been asked for for months now. It’s glaringly obvious.

And yet Blizzard comes up with a ‘fix’ that makes it even more annoying. I guess the activity we are supposed to do there is leave and never come back :wink:

What purpose does a 15 min respawn timer even serve?

I really do not understand what it fixes?

According to Blizzard it was something like even if there are people around, when there are 20 rares on the map chances are you won’t meet on the same rare (I’m not justifying them don’t shoot the messenger).

In reality if rare elites kept their 10.0/10.0.7/10.1 stats then they would be easily soloable by now. However with every new season they keep buffing them.

It’s not even asking Blizzard to make them easier to solo, it’s asking to stop making it intentionally harder.

I want to farm Corrupted Proto Dragon for manuscripts but seeing as it’s an irrelevant target for most people it’s either almost impossible to solo on my mage or very time consuming on my evoker.

It makes no sense to the players who have been suggesting things like let us solo them, just scale their health from one player up.

It must be an amature responsible for ZC because most of the decision around this zone have been pretty bad.

Not sure this is the right fix for this issue. Let’s see if it does what they hope it will.

I think after 30 minutes the Rare should get a Bored debuff which makes it soloable. The map icon would change so you knew if you flew over there it would be soloable.

It’s been a ‘What are you thinking? Why are you doing this?!’ experience from pretty much start till now yep lol.

Whoever is in charge of ZC, could you please hand it over to someone else and go make a coffee or something? Thank you.
