Last week it was fine as we only had to do 5 world quests in addition to the reputation. But this week with the community feast… An event that spawns every 3 hours and you have a 10 minute window to get it done. If you can’t, try again 3 hours later. This is incredibly annoying as it locks you out of doing other things in-game or irl if it conflicts with the Feast timer.
Please remove these secondary objectives and just stick to the 3K rep grind.

Yeah i gave up after the dragonbane keep, i did it on 3 characters and i couldn’t even do it on same day because even when timer hit 0 the event just wouldn’t start ( sharding i guess )
Do you know that the feast participation objective is completed by doing a single task in it? You do not even need to complete it.

Yes
It IS a weekly quest
Not “I must do it on the first hour after reset” quest
You have a whole week to tract down that event on the three and a half hour rotation

it starts always it has a little Delay but it starts
Well, you still need to be watchful of when it starts and be there in time. And if you are busy (dungeon, bg, rp, irl stuff, …) you would need to wait at least those hours for the next one to start - in case you won’t be busy at that point too.
Still a bit harder when you have alts for sure, though.
The event times are on the wowhead front page. I just set myself an alarm on my phone. There’s a whole week to do it as well so I don’t sweat it even if most days I have other commitments.
ah buggers
i gave it 5 mins after it had ‘‘started’’ and gave up and did something else, thnx for this
I’m not sure if my point came across correctly. I have no issues with the quest/event itself. The problem is the long rotation it’s on and then narrow window of time you have to get it done when it’s actually up. Btw, I love that there is no tracking for this built into the game so you need wowhead or weakauras to know when it’s up the next time.
I’ll use today as an example. If I want to do the feast that is up in 1,5 hours I would have to skip going the gym to make it home in time. The next time it’s up will be in the middle of planned keystone runs with my regular group. If we finish a key and there is 15-20 minutes left until the feast starts, there is not enough time to do a new one. So the whole group then hast to sit around and do nothing for a half hour because of this stupid feast, costing at least one keystone run for the evening.
I have planty of time to play but events like this that dictates that you must be online at this exact, narrow timeframe is just dumb and it doesn’t respect players time.
Either increase the frequency or remove these secondary objectives from the weekly quest.
Edit: in addition to the issues mentioned above I also assume this quest is completely reset every week since the secondary objective is on a rotation? So unlike the previous versions where you could do half of the rep and then continue the week after (which was nice for alts), all your progress is lost from week to week?
Actually managed to get there on time. Couldn’t perform a single quest because of 400 people spamming AoE and abusing toys to aids the whole area. So wasted 20 minutes of other peoples time waiting for me. What an absolute dumpsterfire of an event
It’s not a daily
it’s a weekly you can do that in 7 days till next reset
what the hell
And again, it’s on a moronic 3 hour respawn timer that forces you to be online for that specific 10 minute window of time.
It’s not forces you to do anything
Personally, I don’t mind it but that’s only because I’m currently doing it on one character. Probably would be a good idea to get rid of the stuff like you said, and maybe just increase the rep gains to 3500 to compensate.
Considering these rep grinds are important atm it feels mandatory. And when you have 1 chance every 3 hours and it randomly doesn’t work it becomes very frustrating. Was able to finish it now, because there was 40 players there instead of the usual 100 at normal hours. If I didn’t have time off from work tomorrow I would not have been up at this hour. My point still stands and I don’t think this should be part of the weekly quests given the restrictive timer.
This quest annoys me so much. 2h50 min out of every 3h you can’t do it. Am I supposed to just afk in Iskaara to do the bare minimum once it pops after >= 2h 50min? Terrible design.
