If you don’t tag the first blob and the end boss it will be like you weren’t even there because simply grinding mobs feels extremely unrewarding with current vendor pricing. There’s only two valued targets per event and everything else feels like a waste of effort and time. 1x currency per kill is just too little.
It is also so overcrowded that tagging the boss in time feels impossible with a slideshow and 15 sec cast delay. The boss spawn timer is so short and their HP values are so low that you can barely hope to tag it in time. Before my Moonfire even registers, it is already down to 20% if not completely dead from low damage ground-target spells with ticking damage.
God forbid you are half a zone away from the final boss spawn once it gets triggered. Sometimes you can barely reach it in time but if you do there’s a crowd of people waiting for you which adds another half a minute of loading time before you can even see a change on the screen, including the boss unit model.
There’s no effort to taking it down and no meaningful fight mechanics. No manual looting is required either because rewards are pushed to bags automatically. Just give the end loot to everybody in the zone regardless of their interaction with the final boss.
What’s wrong with the event? Waiting 90 minutes for a 3 minute afk session where you have 50-50 chance of missing out on main reward. Everyone is by now aware of these issues so all they do is camp the final spawn which leads to more lag, FPS drops and faster kill time which further lowers the opportunity to secure the mob tag.
Last Onyxia spawn literally melted in 3 seconds after becoming active.

Man keep griding and don’t cry this is what we pay for. Smile up and keep grinding have fun.
Tagged Arthas and watched his health drop to 0%.
No quest credit, loot or currency reward. The zone crashed a moment later and when I logged back everyone was rolled back to their previous locations from several minutes ago, far from the boss spawn location.
This is complete circus and it isn’t even peak player activity hour.

That is a terrible lag fiesta.
Yes everything is wrong. But we are still testing in released game, after all these years, things which should have been tested long before setting them out.

Been told if you’re in a raid you won’t get credit.

same issue!
Tagged the boss, did damage and looted nothing.
Probably because of the lag, I don’t know…
It happened 2 times out of 4 (everytime on a different character)
I feel like I am wasting my time.

Tagged the boss multiple times, received nothing. Latency around 20s. Why can’t Blizzard do something right for once?

Tagged Arthas on my mage. Got the quest, but no loot.
In it’s current state this is an insanely frustrating waste of peoples time. Even trying to mount is lagging like hell. Each step of mounting is taking several seconds and lifting off is taking five/six attempts.
It’s been several hours since this event started. One of those “helpful” blue posts right about now would be welcome. Wouldn’t it?

Yup, just had the same, did the whole fight, went to a memory, and got nothing for it, not even the weekly token drop, Won’t be able to try again until Sunday, lets hope it works by then.
4/10 for radiationing
6/10 for echoness… ness… essss
Delivery took a week and was put on my neighbour’s porch.
5* would recommend.
Grinded exactly 4.5k residual memory in a little less than 1 hour.
Happy for you, I managed about 2k in just over 3 hours because everytime I tagged a boss I got jack sh*t. Yay!
hate to say it, but we’ve already got a thread about this.

I feel like this fits 
think they should do something this event is boring. There’s nothing to do with alts.
Horribly outdated engine that should have been taken behind the shed 10 years ago, incompetent devs who are also rushed for time so the bosses can rake cash in by selling you expansions faster, firing the QA and support teams, etc.
hope they seriously does something soon this is corruption
They urgently need to:
- Fix lags issues.
- Concentrate the mobs in one or max 2 areas, have all the people there to farm.
- Either increase drop rates times 10 or decrease vendor prices times 10.
DF pre patch wasn’t anything special, but it was a convinient way to level up and gear your alts… I don’t know how did they mess this up so badly.

oh you mean the ‘helpful’ post that redirect you to the same page telling you to clean out your cache, check your internet connection, and basically tell you the problem is on your side, and not the horribly outdated servers they havent changed since launch, that they’ve had literal decades of expansions of past experience to expect a massive influx on pre patch day, therby having ample time to set up an efficient network plan?

i suspect it isnt the devs, but rather the non dev project leads demanding the devs do an impossible amount of work so that they can claim credit in front of the board
