seeing you made is easyer for people to get their T0 pieces. now its time to take it a step further and nerf/fix some quests of the T0.5 questchain. especialy now the i see alcaz island in your future. this quest is nuts spawn times are insanely long and if a spawn happens getting a tag is near impossible doing it in a group its not shared loot. i just spend 2 hours + on that island and i only got 4out of 20 quest items needed. the island is packed with players and will only get worse in the comming days when more and more people reach that quest… this entire questline was designed for a few people to do at a time. not 1000+ people at once back in the day so resources for it are not scarse like they are now. this is just soo stressfull to do with a island packed with players… pls change this at least this quest alone
This is soo sad, I am actually disappointed in Blizzard. All that resource to not be able to optimize a 25 year old game for players to at least be able to properly go through the MAIN Gameplay Curve, at least I hoped you could have done better Blizz. I cannot fathom how Private Server hosts can do better than a Multi Billion Dollar company.
Do you even think about the changes you make, buff gear that is gained through a centralized process, one of the main quests being in a zone that contains 15 spawn points for Elite Mobs that have 10 MINUTE respawn timers, Quest Item having 30% drop chance so even if you manage to tag a mob you are most likely not making any progress. The mobs themselves being pretty strong, so you need to do it in a group which automatically means double/triple the grind.
And guess what, There are supposedly 2 layers, mostly dominated by Horde.
Getting invited to a party in a different layer doesn’t work, so basically you are stuck in hell hoping for some Godforsaken Kelp to drop for you, I spoke to people that have been Sweating, SWEATING to get a single quest item out of the 20 required to complete the quest.
Literally the only emotion i feel is wanting to break my monitor, at the same time i want to proceed the quest I have already investigated a couple hundred gold and a good chunk of playtime as well.
BRD honor increase was just the start, at this point it feels like the Team working on the SOD changes to Classic either do not play the game, or want to make the players feel as miserable as possible.
Absolutely agree! Blizzard, please make this item shareable in group, and / or greatly increase the respawn rate.
I FULLY AGREE. BLIZZARD FIX IT PLEASE. I FILL MISERABLE. I hope you will see our tears and make something.
I wasted so much time and gold to find myself trapped on alcaz island, thanks blizzard.
Please fiy asap - spawn rate or drop rate of the questitem. one needs to be done asap
yes please fix this!
and fix the over-crowding in SoD in general. non of the quests are designed to be done by so many people at the same time.
Make gaming fun again!
Let the people play!
that was a very sad quest setup 
but i did in 1h which was very impressiv i believe.
i was there with a rogue at 6am on a sunday. early bird. had to share the island with like 10-15 others (lucky pve server). the best way is to go up the hill to the old tower. there are 2 crates spawning close to each other every 7-12min or so that contain 1-3 questitems. Also roughly 5 mobs spawn on that little hill. we were also not very contested up there. so we sneaky af took the crates and killed the mobs. i believe roughly 3/4 of all the items came from those crates.
Its time to make layers based on location, as in retail. Blizzard already made a lot of retail changes to sod, so why not (but ofc dont bring it to era or hc)
sounds good to me.
Fingers crossed for a fix soon.
