It is the same on EU.
I'm so, so glad that I got my Heirloom trinket a few days ago, especially I had to take a break for 4 days. I ran these events on three different characters, and I can count how many times I saw these storms on one hand. Not to mention, a lot of storms were duplicate. For instance, if Northern Barrens had a fire one, Un'Goro probably had the same one.
There was definitely an air invasion in the last 4 days. I finished my trinket late saturday night/early sunday morning. Got water, air, and earth in a few hours.
shouldnt of had a life and did it when it the storms were up. Cant blame blizzard for you waiting till the last damn minute.
Vast majority of invasions that I saw were earth and fire. Quite frequently there were 3 earth invasions up at a time. Only saw a handful of air, but I wasn't playing 24 / 7 or anything, just trying to quickly gear a few alts and get the heirloom trinket. I also never saw an invasion outside of badlands in eastern kingdom, whereas kalimdor always had 2 up at a time.
praying realm restarts give the storm invasion a jumpstart back into the system. who knows, with it being related to first boss of the raid, maybe there'll be nothing but storm invasions up til the end of the expac.
You guys had two weeks, TWO WEEKS to get this done and now you fellas complain. If you miss it then that's it do not complain about the rng when it's your fault for deciding to do it last minute.
i lost the heirloon cuz that "bug", i try for 5 reset's 3 in 3 hous, for the storm
people are really in here bragging about doing nothing but sitting at their computer grinding this event for 2 weeks straight. its pathetic. lets do some math for this real quick. 2 weeks is 336 hours. with it refreshing every 3 hours thats 112 events, with 4 randomly chosen storms, so really 448 storms over this. 1 zone wasnt operating, so we have 336 storms for this event. with 4 elements, the FAIR thing wouldve been they each get 84 spawns across the 3 zones. that didnt happen. instead of an equal split or rotation, they left it to RNG and not a single damn one of them publicly addressed how one storm had about 20 spawns over 2 weeks and the other 3 each got over 100. they never addressed the one zone not working. they never just moved it to another zone. hell, they even had only one spawn point per storm that was worth doing anything because the lord only spawned there. this isnt "sucks to suck shouldnt have waited" its "wow this small indie company really messed this up on multiple levels and didnt have the balls to admit it either". the last 32 of those 336 storms were everything but air. thats the issue.
Even though I already got the trink, I still think it was stupid of them to have only 1 area in the Eastern kingdoms to have assaults instead of two like Kalimdor. 4 elements 3 assault areas. Equalled bad math for potential even spawning, especially with the low chances of getting the item drop.
they can grant us who had at least 2 pieces(i had 3, fire earth and water) the chance of get the aceive and heirloon
I agree the invasions probably should have been on a set rotation.But that said, everything doesn't have to be easily obtainable by everyone. It's ok for some things to be a little harder, such that if you have a busier RL schedule, maybe you won't be able to get it. There's such a wide range of play styles and life schedules that Bliz can't be expected to cater to the lowest common denominator for everything.Besides, this is just an heirloom trinket. Is it really that big a deal if you don't get it?
