Is this invasion bugged or something? I Just did this with two really geared people (as well as myself) and we all got bronze on it. Mobs died super fast, problem was not ENOUGH mobs spawning.
u probably missed alot .. !! of mobs that didnt show up on map .. i recently did this .. with 2 people .. and we almost got gold !! and we had enough mobs .. just 1 person wasnt lvl 100 and i was an spriest ( spriests suck ass)
Dont think we missed any mobs. I was in middle covering that area, ret pally over by the garden/mine, and had a DK up front by the gates. Each time something showed on the minimap id go kill it or save it (frightend villager had to escort to the town hall).
I dunno why we only got bronze, very confusing to me.
So eh is the bronze/silver/gold thing per account? Cause i just did iron horde thing again and got silver, but no lootbox. I had gotten silver on my priest earlier (one i just did it on was my hunter).
We killed every single mob for Iron Horde invasion, and we got Silver. Twice (did it one guy's garrison, then did it in another). We did everything right, and we found that we had time standing around waiting for more mobs to spawn.
So I think this one is "bugged" and needs some dev help to make Gold achievable.
AFAIK, the way it works with the loot is that the first time you do it for the week, you get a loot box to go along with whatever rank you achieved, regardless of whether it is YOUR garrison or if you are helping someone else out. If you do any more that week (we did two in a row), you each get 50 apexis crystals for those subsequent completes.
Yeah Iron Horde is bugged or simply tuned badly. My guild has people in 640+ taking gold CMs that can't get gold here. I've seen around 8-10 groups including my own fail it and everyone complains that there simply are not enough mobs to kill.
By contrast, I've seen people get gold on Botani, Ogre and Shadowmoon and I personally have done two gold botani runs with 100+ points over the cap we needed. So yeah, definitely feels like there is an issue with this one.
Definitely seems tuned badly compared to some of the other racial invasions - Botani in particular is stupid easy, I somehow managed to overshoot the gold requirement by more than a thousand points while on Iron Horde ones just breaking 900 was a struggle.
Currently, Iron Horde is not rewarding the second round of bonus points as it should be. After the initial invasion, you get the +x points for the buildings being untouched. However, once you kill the final boss, there will be a pop-up that says "Final Boss killed, X points. Rylaks killed, Y points. Siege Vehicles killed, Z points". However, your counter will not increase.
