Long Strange Trip, Noblegarden, and 3.1

#0 - March 12, 2009, 12:46 a.m.

Currently on PTR the new noblegarden event achievements have been added to "What a Long Strange Trip its Been"; and brew of the year has been removed (I would venture due to the static time constraint).

If 3.1 isn't ready by the time Noblegarden rolls around, will noblegarden and the new achievements be patched in beforehand so that people who have been working on long strange trip since last brewfest don't have to wait until next April for the holiday meta achievement?

The current plan is to delay Noblegarden should the testing process run long. You should be able to get your week of egg-hunting in.

And for those of you not looking forward to the egg-hunting of Noblegarden... I think you'll find it a wee bit different this year. ;)

Q u o t e:
Sounds to me like Noblegarden will not start until the patch goes live.

In other words, if the patch doesn't come out until April 28 then that's when Noblegarden will start.

Just slapping a blue quote on this as that is the plan.

Q u o t e:
Please tell me that Noblegarden isn't a "Visit the Easter Bunny in every single horde outpost in the game!" or "Get an easter egg every hour from an innkeeper!" type event.

Please, for my sanity...

The achievements are on the PTR and I don't think they sound like that at all...

For those of you who find that the RNG is not on your side, there are certainly options available for you in Noblegarden, and I think you'll find it a bit more agreeable. Also, the act of egg-hunting itself has been made a little less frustrating. We hope you enjoy it. :)

In case this wasn't clear enough:

We revamped Noblegarden.

Not to a huge extent, but trust me when I say the days of combing the entirety of <insert newbie zone here> on your epic mount hoping to catch sight of one elusive egg are over.

Looking at the achievements and drawing conclusions based on how rare and random the rewards were in Noblegardens past is extremely inaccurate.
