Radiant Echoes Event Improvements Incoming

[GUZ]

Well hey i rather get the rewards then lag fixed first but they should just have all 3 up at once

[Jodmos]

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

While that was the total, in reality it was never going to be close to that if you do the event as you would get a lot of armour/weapon drops. All The Things has 64 things on the vendors and I've already got 39 of them and I've only bought a mount and the three pets so I've had 35 drops which amount to a lot of currency saved.

Edit - didn't know about getting both mounts when you buy one so that's great. Although, rather amusing to me, it lists the price as 25 Radiant Echoes in the mount journal rather than the 20000 it does cost.

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.

Yeah, i've only just now realized my math wasn't math-ing lmao. With just the three quests alone, on 3 alts, i earned 13500 of the currency today.

Wish they'd do something about their useless automated system that readily puts players from near empty layers to more populated ones... but absolutely FAILS to do the reverse action of removing players from overcrowded layers.

Layers should have a hard cap on the amount of players in it, and raids should not be allowed to join and exceed that cap.

if the boss kill quests go from each player as a weekly, to a once day per account? imo this is a nerf

i currently have six 70's and four 60's on retail, in a 7 period i could do the 3 boss dailies 10 times before the changes

ii i read what they are talking about right? with the 3 boss quests being a once daily...per account. i would only be able to do the three boss quests 7 times on a week

if there are now mini bosses at each memory, and increased drops maybe this will make up for the loss. in a way now you have to grind to make up for the loss

i see no mention of a XP boost or a XP bonus buff like they have previous prepatches

[MrLachyG]

they've hotfixed it. was able to do a Dragonblight one just before it ended, got 200 for a standard objective and 1400 for the boss kill (up from 100 and 500 respectively)

its more per quest, and you can do the quest 3 times per day, instead of 3 times per week per char.
also yeah its less per charecter, but did you really enjoy killing the 3 bosses 10 fucking times a week? did you enjoy that?

[Kyux]

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

This is true, but if there was this much feedback and they were so willing to act on it quickly - how was it not foreseeable? Why did they push something like that they were so willing to change almost instantly? Yes it's a good change but it also seems so obvious.

For people with alts & time, this is a nerf.
I'd rather hardcore grind it, and get it over with...

Except most people dont have alts, and would you really rather spend MORE time doing it?
People should not be forced to have alts.
Like seriously doing it 3 times a day is so much better then fucking 30+ times a week.
You can still hardcore grind it, just do the event for the entire hour its up.

You can actually grind it more now I think. I did the events a couple of times on one character since this change - you can repeat the event over and over again, on a single character, and get 1400 Residual Memories for the end boss, plus the RNG 480 loot drops, plus mob kill Residual Memories, and then also the Heirloom ring Memories too.

I completely overlooked that new 3k quests are daily's now, that definitely a solid improvement.
Had they been weeklies, I would have preferred to keep spamming 1,5k quests.
3 times a day is definitely the way to go about it now.

But you aren't spending more time doing it. I log in to do the event, finish it, logout until the next one. I don't have to feel like I have to grind endlessly.

Grinding it still feels like a complete waste of time, rewards for side objectives are still awful, and the event is slower now.
Before it was 5 or 6 side objectives to spawn the boss? Now it's probably 10+.

Sure, if you're doing 15+ characters that'd be a nerf... as right now doing the daily for a week is the equivalent of 14 characters.

Do you not value your time? o.O

Of course I do. But It's late, and I overlooked that the new quests are dailys. Under my initial assumption, anything beyond a second character would've been faster/more on a weekly basis.

But yea, 3 times a day now for an easy 15k or so, is definitely pretty awesome.

[Noobslayer]

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.

BLIZZARD there is absolutely no reason to lock the quest behind an account bound mechanic. I want to do the quests on all my alts. I don't want to be gated behind one character daily. THIS IS GARBAGE.

Bro, quest gave 1500, boss 500, objective 100 and you had very slim chance to do it on alt in single kill window every 1.5 hour. Now daily gives 3000 and people report boss give 1400. What the hell are you talking about.

Quest is now 3000, so from quests alone you can grab 9000 daily in 2-3 hours. Before fix 9000 was 6 dailies, which meant being there 6 times in specific hour over 7.5 hours (sic!). How anyone think it's nerf is beyond me.

Why do you want to do the quest on all your alts?

He knows, he's already explained twice he knows. Should explain this to the person above you.

So...

Did they fix the lag yet?

It's not gone by any measure but it's much better. You can actually use abilities instead of just standing there and doing nothing for up to 20 seconds anymore.
