Almost two days was the pre-event of World of Warcraft. Now Blizzard is making a lot of changes to ensure you finish quickly.
No matter how you turn it, the event “Radiant Echoes” was not well received by many players of World of Warcraft. The long wait times are frustrating, and some are overwhelmed by the amount of necessary resources, even if it’s not as much in reality as it seems. The frustration is simply huge.
But Blizzard is taking the feedback to heart – and is bringing massive improvements that accelerate everything. The changes are live from now on.
What was the problem with the event? Blizzard set up the event to take place over 10 minutes, followed by a waiting time of almost 80 minutes. Those who are not there right on time miss the event and can only grind mobs afterwards.
At the same time, everyone is a bit angry who only has little time during the day, like one or two hours in the evening. If you’re unlucky, you can at most participate in the event once during that time and then you’re out of luck.
What is Blizzard improving? The changes are massive and extensive. All adjustments are:
- The event now changes hourly (instead of every 90 minutes).
- While the event is active for an hour, it repeats infinitely. The objectives appear repeatedly until the hour is up and the next event begins.
- Minor objectives now give more currency (200 instead of 100) and the boss drops a hefty 1,400 (instead of 500).
- The quests are now daily and grant 3,000 currency (instead of 1,500), but they count for the entire account.
What does that mean? In plain language, this means that you can now farm the rewards at an extremely fast pace – basically without pause. If you want, you can just continuously complete events, getting showered with gear and memory fragments.
So take 2-3 hours next weekend and farm the events during that time. You should be able to unlock all rewards quite easily. If you want, you can also wonderfully level twinks at the event – because with the permanent mini-tasks, you’ll get nearly unlimited experience points.
What do you think of these changes? Good and meaningful innovations for the event? Or do you think Blizzard has given in too much and that the content will be boring after a day, making the wait until the release of The War Within too long?
