I guess this merits a feedback thread… because oh boy.

First off, I like that the mobs we kill are ‘‘famous’’ Hearthstone cards. This is actually the only positive thing I have to say about the event.

The decision to put one in Stormwind and Valdrakken made it even more of a lag fest then it would be outside of a zone, for instance, the one in Durotar. Not only is lag the issue with this, but it also locks a lot of people out of these cities because of lag and frame rate drops. Who would’ve thought 80+ people all firing projectiles at a mob would cause that?

The portals seem to be random where and what time they spawn. I’ve seen it spawn 3 times in a row in Stormwind instead of having a proper rotation of Stormwind>Valdrakken>Orgrimmar.

The timing of these portals also seems far and in between. Comments on Wowhead say that it should be every 30 min, but I’ve seen portals spawn at 19:44.

There is no clear indicator of what to do. I should not have to go to Wowhead to know what to do, a good introduction and the game telling me what is going on would go a long way. As well as indicators of what is going to spawn and where and at what time.

1 week of this is way too short, especially when besides the loot, the spawn seems RNG as well.

That is exactly how it should now be working, following a hotfix that was deployed a couple of hours ago.

We’re continuing to investigate performance issues on some realms.
