Runelock Chest WQ Changes, Hotfixes: June 26, 2019

Players can no longer loiter at the teleport location for the Heart of Azeroth quest line in Highmountain.

ah of course the F.U.N. police has to intervene. can't be having some wPvP even if there is the option to just turn warmode off, can we.

"Payment In Kind" still bugged. Anduin is not there.

EDIT: Nevermind. Seems like you MUST do the Night Elf quest to make him spawn at the right place (even though i did it on an alt).

But despite the fact it took me 30 mins, and got out of it because idiots keep putting us in combat, I actually had fun, it's a shame they change it to an numb stupid game instead.. what's harde in doing many 3x ?!

(Then again I got it by luck)

If you spent 30 minutes doing one world quest, how was that not numb and stupid already? There's already enough to do in a day in Nazjatar, some people would rather spend 30 minutes of their time accomplishing more in the game than one single world quest, and that seems pretty reasonable. Besides you already have a Bejeweled toy in the game, if you want to challenge yourself. You don't need a world quests for that.

They made sure the game used symbols in addition to colors to differentiate the runes in the game. But then the quest tracker tells you a color and doesn't give an example of that specific color rune.

I ran a screen shot through 8 different colorblind filters that I use for accessibility in my daily work as a UI/UX Developer/Designer and there is both a hue and brightness shift that makes every one look different enough.

In the end someone missed the final detail of adding the rune to the quest tracker. Well that and that matching five of a specific rune can take some time if you are not an expert candy crush player.

=V=

Wow, colorblind people can be UI designers? That would explain so many things... Do you have that job because you are colorblind or regardless of it?

Before sharding, this could be possible, as you could pick a pvp server with a healthy balance.

And stop with the just turn wm off crap, when you lose 10-20% of rewards and all your pvp talents gone.

That Candy Crush quest was such a colossal pain in the arse. And the least said about those fucking jellyfish the better.

Name of the color next to it sounds like you're too lazy to give each specific shade a name.

Can you differentiate? Who cares if its red or silver?

There are different types of colorblindness.

On my side (deuteranomaly), my green receptor is kinda fucked up, so a large amount of green shades just blend with the other colors. Basically, some greens and oranges are nearly the same to me, and unless it is really bright, the red can't be differentiated too. I am completely unable to differentiate violet from blue.

But there are plenty of different color blindness (protanomaly/protanopy for Red, deuteranomaly/deuteranopia for Green, Tritanomaly/tritanopia for Blues, and monochromacy for complete color blindness so all grey) so of course they can't design a minigame around every one of them. But usually that is dealt with symbols or whatever.

If a minigame only relies on colors, it's dead for us.
The rune minigame seems to be acceptable for colorblind, as far as I can see. But we'll for sure have a lot more trouble than "normal" people.

As an example, when I was told to pick the "Red" crystal on Mythic Eonar, I just had to identify in which corner it was always located. If blizzard had made that they all spawned randomly, you can be sure I'd never be assigned to this task, ever.

Those jellies are rigged I swear.

If you're a Goblin, you SHOULD be able to loiter... It's part of their nature.

And why weren't these fixed in the PTR?

Thank gawd for the Candy Crush nerf.

Who the actual fuck thought that was a good idea, I spent like 30 minutes on it then rage quit.

Their decision making process is fucking unfathomable.

agree, i notice if you start the minigame then leave and jump in again. the game randomizes again. so techinally. you can keep doing that until you get a close to ideal setup.

Also this.

Thank god. Had to gather 5 yellows in a row.... was super annoying and can taken long. Also, is the field random, so experience is worthless, and you hope getting the right colors falling down?

Took me 30 minutes to get 5 yellows in a row yesterday, kept going because I couldn't figure out how to exit the game - even switching addons off there wasn't a leave game button/red eject arrow?!

Think I figured it out by the end of it though, in today's 4 orange runes in a row quest I managed to finish on another 5 in a row in about 5 minutes. I never really got into bejewelled in my youth (2 player tengen tetris was my jam), so didn't really have a strat to go on.

Its a buff to your char.

Do not want to play candy crush type mini games in WoW. Come on Blizz you can do better than this. There are several just crap WQ's that imo, have nothing to do with wow. Terrible ideas implemented

Well there you go!

Funny they've made it inconsistent to tortollan shell pairs/make loh go minigames etc, which use the red exit arrow button.

Oh for the world quest it's too long.. yes, but it doesn't mean you need to take it out of the game. Could be some kind of weekly reward that you can do for rep or else.
