Ya, at first I was pretty appreciative of the time bump on legendaries because I worked much later those days and got home just in time but now I don't think I'll even care
I'm also european and have changed my sleep cycle so that I can wake up before the event, which starts at friggin midnight.
You've been wildly inconsistent with this event (the potion shack itself was changed mid-event too, with new stuff being added, making the rare items even more scarce then previously), and we're not cool with it.
The complaints lodged are mostly against the inconsistencies. I absolutely agree that the rewards have been over the top. 'Unlimited' is a bit of a stretch though, as is 'free'
Time/effort -> ''free'' reward
Time-sensitive -> ''unlimited''
Yeah no ;o
It wasn't "broken". Folks (not myself) simply wanted the motes to be changed to something more useful. In doing so, the drop rate of the kyras was lowered, which isn't what most folks have an issue with.
One of the issues was the removal of the kyras box. All previous mongo events, and until yesterday this one as well, have included their appropriate box. The removal of said box is the issue.
As for the "doing almost nothing", you conveniently ignored the other issue, which was the BAM's HP pool. Folks were happy with BAMs that took more effort to kill vs the ones that literally melted last night.
I am talking about the whole event, not only the mongos on kyras event.
You mean the potion shack loot pool? If so, I'll agree that some of the items to be gotten from the enchantment potion are definitely overkill.
I do think they should let have 1 catalyst drop per dungeon at the start of this event and not 3-5.
They should let have mongos be this way since the start and the legendaries really need a better idea on how implement the drops that make you feel that your time was worth.
The main problem here is that the whole event start broken and now that it is changing to what it should be obviously ppl will ge mad becuase that implies less free stuff.
However if that keeps until the end of the event then in two weeks ppl will cry on forums about how game is death becuase nobody plays due the overkill rewards on kyras.
The only folks who bother complaining about overkill rewards "after" the event are those who are upset that they missed out, and venting in a way to try and guilt folks. In short, ignore them.
I'm a bit hesitant to agree with a cosmetic box, simply because its been done to death with previous events. Personally, I'd rather see something that has a more long-term use (such as innerwear?) Things like this would have been great if polled before the event.
And the event having a random time during weekdays when most folks have work or school was a big mistake in my opinion. Hopefully one they will remember not to repeat in the future.
I'm guessing that the random time was to try to limit how much they can be farmed since the loot is shared with the raid. Moving the time around does help players in a way since some might like the earlier or later time. Scheduling things like this isn't easy since we have 4 time zones in NA and international players to consider. Ive noticed it is a pain though since we have to plan our hh raid around it. I liked getting the hour and half advanced notice but I don't know how much it helps other players.
If you have read the posts i have made this day you will know that i called all this event a broken event.
Even i said that only 1 cata per dungeon would be the thing that EME should have done.
i am iffy, because i wait 4 hours for crystal boxes
@LesbianVi I've seen you around my server so I know we both play in the same one. And you honestly liked the Jewel and CCB drop?
CCB - 31 gold on broker - before event: 30 to 40 gold
Amethyst - 30 gold if sold to npc - price always stays the same
Strong bravery potion - 600 gold at the time of writing this - before event: 900 gold
Strong Canephora potion - 300 gold - before event: 1500 gold.
I'm sorry but I am not blinded by shiny things that drop on the ground. The CCB/Amethyst/Powder nerfed the drop rate of the Potions. And with this changes also came nerfing of the uncommon/rare mongos.
