Terrible Pre-Patch Event

Not enough Residual Memories dropping.
And too long between the events, considering the boss event is over in like 3-5 minutes then an hour+ wait is terrible game design.

What is the reason for the wait? You can set restrictions so people who already did it can’t get any additional rewards from boss event, then have that event come around a lot quicker.

EDIT:
Just tried out the changes to the event. And for me at least all the issues I had are gone.

  • Currency drops are increased
  • Wait times are good now, since the way the event works has changed.

The intention is to keep you EnGagEd longer

the boss should cycle every 10 minutes, you could still loot it once per event.

it is incredibly unfriendly design, even worse for alts.

why alts though? the armor tokens you buy is warband bound right?

but yeah it should be shorter cycles

I wanna do the event with my alts too, for the currency

this design actively discourages that. it is like siege in DF

wait! just wait for next one!

Just logged …wanted to do the event wait …50 min … ok let’s put a clock .

In the meantime the whole server -connecter–or whatever- Are Afk-mode.

An amazing event where you Afk for 1 hour in order to do it …because it end like in 5 min …

Terrible design .

I’d have much preferred instanced bosses that you can simply queue up for. Just like during holiday events. That would have been much more flexible for everyone.

The bosses don’t even spawn, nothing happened when the timer reached 0, the timer just reset back to 90 minutes, what a joke.

dude, just did the main event and it felt like less than 5 mins to do it all, and the boss died like paper, now you gotta wait for another hour and 20 mins for next one.

I was so lagged the whole time I didn’t even get credit for the boss. I was not in a party or raid group, I kept castign spells at it but apparently they did not register. Boss was probably already dead when I arrived there it just didn’t show on the screen properly.

Not fun. Not engaging. Rewards are Fugly and 480ilvl.
A great event for wasting players’ time though! i’ll give them that.

This event is…underwhelming to put it mildly.

Seems only 5 memories spawned in searing gorge so just got to sit here for the whole event on the off chance it fixes itself or its deliberate and something happens

Yeah, it’s awful. Like every other FOMO event with boss spawns Blizzard have ever done. They just keep on failing. I’m going to go play something else. I’ll look back in a week when (hopefully) things will have died down and you will actually be able to play, rather than spamming a button in the hope that it activates before the boss dies.

I´m still debating if I should get war within knowing the leveling and questing will be the fun part, but after that, it´s empty fluff.

And this is all considiring the boss spawns. I am doing one and event is bugged out. And boss will not spawn… So noo nothing great. Thanks Blizz!

It’s like looking at a picture most of the time.
The lag that comes with the amount of players trying to first hit is insane. It surprises me that no server has shutdown yet. It’s horrible.

I agree, the wait time is ridiculous and the event is way too grindy.
On top of that, aren’t pre-patch events usually related to the upcoming expansion? i dont see what this event has to do with TWW, its just watered down vanilla bosses for the sake of what? nostalgia? dont we already have like 4 different classic game modes for that?
