Maybe I'm just losing it but i kind of love this
Blizzard at it's finest.Top quality game design...
I don't even think this should be a feedback thing for players needing to ask for this to change. It's not account wide. So its six years for one character... if you make a new character you then need to spend six years collecting the appearances again
Lol, what?Why think of new content for the events each year when you can give low drop rates and stagger out other content by years. GJ Blizz.Also the fact that they need feedback on this is mind blowing. Either they truly are unaware of what players want or they pretend to not know what we want and repeat the same "we're listening" BS.
What happens when achievements become character specific? Would it be worth doing it on 6 alts and then hoping once achievements merge to become character specific this achievement pops?
Holy hell at least make it account wide DAMN
When they said "future events" I took it to mean they'll let us unlock more options during other holidays, like Children's Week, Midsummer, etc., not that it'll take 6 Noblegardens.Would be a wild thing to break their trend of being better about things being "account friendly."
I was shaking my head all day yday when i noticed the colours are not account wide, what a dumb decision really.
This is incredibly perplexing considering the impending Warbands in TWW where just about everything becomes account wide...
this is the dumbest f'n !@#$ ever. Blizz just loves time gating everything. All they care about is your money and keeping you sucked into their game. Open your wallets and empty them for king blizzard.
You get to enjoy this game so much more when you are not a completionist.I actually feel bad for those that have the urge to collect everything in the game.
Honestly, I'm okay with this, but once one character has all 6 colours unlocked they should all be available account-wide, IMO.I'm not opposed to it taking a few years to get holiday rewards, but I am opposed to it taking that long for any new characters you might roll. I can see why it's not account wide right now cuz if it were you could just cut six years down to one and be done with it, and while I'm not entirely supportive of that kind of design I'm willing to accept it if it means we get more account-wide stuff instead. But yeah, once we unlock all the colours on a character, it should be account-wide for all alts.
So? Its literally so insignificant that it bogles the mind to read how for some people this seems like the end of the world. I wonder how their day to day life looks like if they find this so world ending.
Even assuming that alternate color appearances will be available from other holidays, rather than being exclusively from Noblegarden, I would still just ask, why? No, the quest line is not difficult, but the reward is so small that it makes the effort to unlock the forms for your other characters disproportionately large.If Noblegarden is the only source, it makes the decision extremely silly, when they release new classes and races that might lead you to create a new character, and you would have to regain every duck form, if you have the gall to want to use a collectable item you unlocked.Alternatively, if we continue to assume that there will be multiple sources for the different duck forms each year, it would make a lot more sense to simply have each holiday give one form as an account wide reward so there is a reason to engage with every event at least once. But in its current form it would have you running any additional characters through every event individually to have the privilege to become a slightly different coloration of a tiny duck, and that just seems shortsighted.TLDR: Why is a silly duck toy being made so complicated, just make it account bound lol
I'm not really MAD at this. I'm indifferent, but it really sounds to me that the person who designed the new Noblegarden stuff wasn't on the same page as the rest of the expansion's whole theme of "Not wasting player time".
Seems like a strange decision, given Blizzard's alt-friendly attitude lately. I guess they assume collectors will keep playing the game and therefore this gives them something fun to look forward to every year? But as someone who completed What a Long, Strange Trip It's Been, I don't recall that being particularly "fun".
blizz moving backwards, back to classic era lolGo on and make warbands, let cloth wearers collect plate mogs for ur alts on next expansion and then they come up with this, so out of touch, its sadBtw, this update has got to be the %^&*tiest they have done to a world event. You could easily be playing it while its on and not even notice it
Here we go, there's the old blizzard i know. This is just the beginning as well they are slipping back to their oldways matter of time until everything goes back to the way it was.
