Cool, now they'll fix the basket trick tomorrow without adjusting how annoying this is to do on multiple characters.
this whole event feels like a chore than actually playing a video game for fun
Well great now blizzard will hotfix the backet trick.
I don't believe it's the basket itself - instead there are balls you can run into as a pet. Running into them makes them bounce a few yards, gives you 1%, and after a few seconds they reset to the original position. One of these happens to spawn right next to a basket at the trauma surgeon tent, so is triggered automatically if you're in the basket (or just near it). There's another near Koltira and Thassarian, next to the fashion frenzy stage.You can chase the ball and get credit slightly faster.Edit: Simply being a pet gives you score passively, about 1% every 20-30s. It does not appear to be faster when in a crate or a basket, unless you are also getting points from a ball.Extra edit: The ball by the trauma surgeon tent sometimes seems to get stuck on the basket, and doesn't bounce away so it can retrigger automatically. The one by Koltira and Thassarian doesn't seem to have this problem.
The complete X.X that say that "mUh BlLizZaRd WiLl fIx It"... you DO realize that this is an activity that is coded INTO the quest, right? It's not like someone is going to a world boss, does some special phasing while bugging out, and they kill 1 world boss and it counts as 100%, when the quest says it should only be 10% per boss, right?RIGHT?They are NOT the same! Doesn't everyone notice these things? I FEEL LIKE I'M TAKING CRAZY PILLS!P.S.: And people will STILL be doing the normal things in the holiday park since they need either achievements, or will still kill bosses because they need loot from them.
"Fastest and Easiest Way to Complete Celebrate Good Fun Quest"So you encourage to go fast ? why ? It's boring ?Its make no f* sense. Say it first if its boring.
They need to vastly increase the Bronze Token gains... Everything is too expensive compared to the rate of which you're able to obtain them.This is supposed to be a celebration of spending 20 years of my life playing this game, not another list of boring chores!
RIP Basket trick. I was kinda hoping this one would be ignored.
I can't help but notice that the 3 portal keepers are 3 exactly identical models... Only adds to the feeling that the development of this event has been rushed
Make this quest an account wide weekly and make the buff last for 7 days
if u use the basket to the right of the guy that gives the quest to kill world bosses, it will be much faster, in 5-6min you will finish, way faster than other baskets that i tried, the basket close to the pet dailies is way more slowly for some reason.
Brilliant design. Make even the simplest thing into a checklist. "We wanted an engaging way to get the buff" just put the buff in the bag bro.
I feel like filling the bar for the first quest that awards event currency is fine, but for alts you just want to pick up the exp buff on it's really very annoying and too time consuming.
This anniversary event is deeply disappointing. The rewards are fine but the currency grind - and many of the activities - are pretty awful. Why on earth make a celebration feel like a lengthy, horrible chore?My solution: Blizz, if you can't think of a cool, innovative way to do it, just make it like the Trading Post so we pick up the currency by playing the game in the way that we want. The Trading Post is a good example of how a currency should be done, in my opinion; nothing special but not too painful.
