Radiant Echoes Event Improvements Incoming

[Tech614]

its stupid that the boss spawns one time and you cant have it repopulate more than once

Did you even read this change...?

Yes it was stupid. Yes it is being fixed.

- - - Updated - - -

Good changes but it should have never been launched the way it did.

Throwaway pre patch event launches in bad state while its all hands on deck to launch an xpac and most of the more vocal players are testing betas and not the PTR who would of thought?

"We spotted players funneling the weekly quests from their alts to their mains, and we don’t want that to feel necessary, so these quests will now be account-bound and they will repeat daily instead of weekly."

Damn, this is a big nerf for people with alot of alts doing the rotation of 3 weekly quests, done it on 3 toons today so far, so had 4500 of the currency from those quests alone, with plenty more alts to go before weekly reset.

[SinR]

So...

Did they fix the lag yet?

[stee56]

Still unable to transfer honor across characters, despite them fixing the warbank - typical, no communication - people wanna try the pre patch classes

eh, i prefer they do something like that cause it sucks for people who dont have tons of alts, its unfair.
if it like 10k each but account wide fuck yeah.
i rather only have to do it 4 times a week and not like 40 times a week...

You can just kill bosses over and over and easily outpace the weekly quest rotation. Especially when they buff boss rewards in addition to increasing spawns. 4 boss kills is enough to break even with current rewards and this should take roughly 40-50 minutes compared to the 90 right now.

good changes, very quick turnaround on the feedback, only a day and a half or so. nice.

depends wither the fixed are actually in or not atm it may be worth doing week 1 getting the mount and ring, i might just stock up on 32 slot bags for wwi

No mention of lag which is the biggest issue with this event by far. Sticking 200 players in a small area nuking something always works out for Blizzard.

Wowhead has some changes listed.

200 for the events (up from 100)
1400 pet boss kill (from 500)
3000 for the boss kill quests which is now account daily (once each boss) - from 1500 x 3 per character weekly

On PTR the boss kill rewards isn't just first kill. But as usual PTR so can change on live.

[MrLachyG]

good changes. this is what was needed.

Farmable should help with lag too. Now game just bottle all people together every 1.5 hour.

Was thinking that but with the increased rewards being per boss it probably won't until people start completing goals and drop out, as people will just stick around doing it for the full hour.

in response to the adamant defenders:

puts on tinfoil crown and armor set

"never attribute to malice what can be explained with incompetence"

after so many expansions "incompetence" is just off the table and that has to be intended goodwill farming

Wow, so if an idiot is an idiot constantly, they are not an idiot, but in fact a mastermind. mhm sure.
Also mate you are the one actually defending blizzard ya know right?
The rest of us are calling blizzard idiots who constantly fuck things up, but you are here saying "no they are actually geniuses fooling you all with their master plans!"

Or, they are just idiots as usual?

then i have to wonder how much of an idiot someone has to be to still cheer for them after cleaning up after their stupidity

[FelPlague]

Idk, same kind to think everything is a conspiracy. Especially since they would farm FAAAAAR more goodwill if the stuff just worked from the start. The idea they fuck stuff up on purpose to "get more goodwill" when they fix it is just false, since that is literally the opposite of what happens.

There's a quest for each boss, so I had ~7k currency just from doing the event three times on one character, 3 x 1500 for boss quest, + 3 x 500 for each boss, and then incidentals. Currency was basically raining from the sky BEFORE this change.

not when you consider that you need 333k or something to buy everything, and the quest was a weekly not a daily

..how? With this lagfest and quest not working in raid group, it was almost impossible to get more than 1 char in single session. For 3 characters you have to be there on 9 separate 5 minute windows, so basically paying attention to WoW and loging to game WHOLE DAY.

Nah, farmable boss and 3 dailies are better deal than what we had. After you buy mounts/pets only purpose of currency is to fill holes for whatever items that didn't drop (and again, you will get a lot more shots for gear per hour).

If you just after cosmetics, you need only 50k (ally/horde mount share ID) + whatever transmog that won't drop.
