If NPCs can sit on a dock and tell you to the second when a boat is coming why cant one of them sit at Siege or the Soup pot and tell you when it starts!?
Alot of people only have a couple of hours a day to play so can easily miss the big 3 hrly events. You have to go to an outside source like Wowhead to find out when they start!
C’mon Blizzard!! Its not like these things are random, it takes time and organization to plan a Siege or make a giant vat of soup!
I support this 100% even tho I can be online up to 16h a day. The event icons seems to randomly disappear + it is annoying to open map, click zone, see if the timer is showing and then try to figure out what the text on the timer means. Is it X minutes until start or end or something else, I have no clue.
Currently I park the character that needs to do an activity near the starting place and go play my alliance druid that is in a guild. Then I switch characters when someone in the guild posts the upcoming event timer in chat
I support this without a doubt, yes. It’s a shame you have to visit third party websites to see such things. They should be in the game, in the exact way someone above mentioned - in the journal, or even better, there should be a minimap icon that on click, would open a /wbt lookalike screen that would track certain events.
Sucks that I don’t use add ons.
I had to give up on the feast today. Kept checking back to see if it started and the closest I got was the soup buff.
Used a couple of on line timers, Inc Wowhead, but sadly they were both wrong.
Am I seriously going to have to spend 3hrs camping this thing!?
I personally am not a fan of that WeakAura as it requires customisation to hide a lot of the unnecessary clutter. It would be better to have something in-game without as much hassle.
Literally, you go into the Tama’s weak aura, select the groups that you don’t want to see, go to tab Load and mark it as NEVER. Is super easy and takes 1 minute, not customisation involved, I can help you if you need.
Its still telling people they need to use an outside source to tell them something that should be available in game though.
I can understand using add ons for rare farming for example but the Feast is an integral part of weekly gameplay and so it should be easy to work out when its going to happen.
