Each Assault will be available for a relatively short period and with the Legion taking a little longer before they reemerge."
    Oooh. How "exciting".

    I can say lack of consistency via RNG is not what blizzard thinks it is in this game. It frustrates players far more than it engages them.

    I think this event will be fine. It's just another headache like the rotating world bosses in early legion and rotating profession traders in wod. After a few weeks everyone will get what they need and then stop caring about this part of the game.

    Believe it or not, there's way easier and faster ways to get that gear. You'll spend your time much better running m0-m4's and getting the AP with the gear than the speed you will acquire Nethershards to gear out 16 slots.
    Maybe if you play straight solo play and have no friends or guild members at all willing to run these things with you, Nethershards seem like a good idea, but as pointed out, if these happen twice a day, you get 2500 shards, so it takes 2 days for 1 piece of gear that might not even be good for you (stats on rings/necks anyone?).
    Hell, you would get more shards in a portal farming group with much less effort than the invasion event.
    But I digress, if you can't be bothered to look for or make a group to do something other than invasions, please feel free to be upset that 1 happens at a time of the day you can't log on for.

    The entire cycle is 4 zones every 3 days, repeating forever. If you miss something today, it'll be back in a couple of days.
    Gotta wake up early in weekends to get the 4 a.m. - 10 a.m. one.

    Edit : or sleep late

    Would you say the same if you entered a dungeon or raid and got an error saying, "sorry instance only good from 10-4 try again later, but I can't tell you when"

    It has been 2 days and both during normal working hours.

    Ah yes, extreme examples. How classy.

    The hours will change as they happen. If you can't get them during normal working hours, then weekends are your days.

    I don't get why they try to overcomplicate this so much. Just make invasions 24 hours long: first day=first zone -> second zone -> 3 -> 4 -> no invasion day -> start cycle again.

    really amateur mistake for a company like blizzard. some one should get fired

    Going by someone who posted potential timers on reddit..
    I bolded timers that are un-favorable for people who work or go to school. Unless you stay awake to midnight, most of these are plain "nopes"

    So, extrapolating: (US realms, EST cuz that's where I am)

    Azsuna: Tuesday 5pm-11pm

    Val'Sharah: Wednesday 11am-5pm

    Highmountain*: Thursday 5am-11am

    Stormheim: Thursday 11pm-Friday 11am

    Azsuna: Friday 5pm-11pm

    Val'Sharah: Saturday 11am-5pm (if you work on saturday)

    Highmountain: Sunday 5am-11am (if you work on sunday)

    Stormheim: Sunday 11pm-Monday 11am

    Azsuna: Monday 5pm-11pm

    Val'Sharah: Tuesday 11am-5pm

    Highmountain: Wednesday 5am-11am

    Stormheim: Wednesday 11pm-Thursday 11am

    *I'm assuming we just go in a west-east direction, but Highmountain/Stormheim could be swapped in the cycle.
    So basically Highmountain is possible for heck long time on 5am - 11am cycle. Better wake up at 5 or 6 am folks if you want that achievement for flying, lmao.

    Hell, even most people who dont work cant really stay up at night after 11 pm lol.

    It would've been fine if it wasnt attached to flying. This is just big middle-finger right now. Seriously, who thought these times were ok ;s

    Nope. It's ATLEAST 1 assault a day, it could very well be the only one which is the whole problem here

    Don't you see. this was the Legion's grand strategy. Attack while everyone is distracted! The Legion is now using guerrilla tactics and hitting while the heroes are "asleep" and then leaving before they can retaliate.

    Brilliant!

    Meybe they set those hours on purpose, when majority of people are in the school/work, to not let them earn flying asap

    Has there been any assault in EU yet? Since I got home from work I haven't seen any
    I have enough of EA ruining great franchises and studios, forcing DRM and Origin on their games, releasing incomplete games only to sell day-1 DLCs or spill dozens of DLCs, and then saying it, and microtransactions, is what players want, stopping players from giving EA games poor reviews, as well as deflecting complaints with cheap PR tricks.

    I'm not going to buy any game by EA as long as they continue those practices.

    No, it appears randomly and there isn't a guarantee if one ends another begins. If it was a constant assault, it'd be one thing. But as far as I can tell, only Azsuna and Valshara have been attacked at 12 PM PST April 4th and 8 AM PST April 5th respectively in North America. (Times are not exact, but roughly when they started.)

    Granted, it's just two invasions, but those times really only benefit people with days off or people that don't have to work for a living.
    There are no worse scum in this world than fascists, rebels and political hypocrites.
    Donald Trump is only like Hitler because of the fact he's losing this war on all fronts.
    Apparently condemning a fascist ideology is the same as being fascist. And who the fuck are you to say I can't be fascist against fascist ideologies?
    If merit was the only dividing factor in the human race, then everyone on Earth would be pretty damn equal.

    I have a feeling its going to be similar to the Pre-Cataclysm elemental invasions. Everyone was getting upset in the beginning because they were missing invasion points for some zones to complete the Achievement. But then invasions ramped up a LOT more as the launch day closed in, and it was impossible for anyone to miss completing the achievement. It's week one of invasions, they're going to last at least all the way to 7.3. I'm sure they're going to ramp up much more. People just need to be patient, and this coming from someone extremely upset about the gating of 7.2 content.

    People have been waiting for months to be able to fly. They've been patient enough.
