Complete Aqir Invasions Before Their Removal in 12.1.7 for Cheaper Rewards

It was a waste of development time, then remove, why?

Its a terrible grind, why not let people grind that at their own pace? Makes no sense after already wasting time and resources on it (and to fix it after the release).

WHY?

Great use of development time

I keep forgetting this "event" exists... I'm growing real tired of these pointless grinds. Not only do you have to wait an hour each time, it's literally pointless.

It took me several weeks to even notice this because I was still saturated by grinds I was postponing from the previous patch...

I’d play it more if they lowered the time it takes for the next one after by 30mins rather than every hour

Comment by Lostelf

Wait this was supposed to be a limited time event? Lmao why, it's not even really relevant to the story and feels like all the other events they do every patch.

Bliz makes world content.

Content is bugged, Content is terrible

Try it once or twice. See its bugged, See its terrible.

Bliz makes it more terrible and also removes it in the very next patch.

Repeat.

Oh. An unmemorable event. Like the rest of this expansion. Can’t wait for the next invasion event!

FOMO invasion slop lol

I thought they would remove AI in 12.2, never could even dare thinking of 12.1.7; this is incredible levels of FOMO. I envision the funneling with throngs of events like Pirate Day - "you have 24h to do stuff or gtfo".

Luckily, dedicated players were done with AI on week 1, so they're not losing anything, the grind is tolerable for everyone who is not striving for ATT completionist mode. For the latter gear drops from the bosses are weekly gated, random, and will go away soon, so it's quite painful without hordes of alts.

Blizzard never learns or perhaps they simply refuse to learn at this point, I honestly can't tell.
They should leave time-limited "events" to gacha games at least those games are capable of offering a somewhat enticing reward with a reasonable time frame.
Hopefully, they’ll at least reduce the interval between invasions from an hour to 20 minutes, or increase the reputation gain by 200% waiting an hour for something so pointless is just ridiculous.
And most importantly, they should state right at the start when an event launches that it’s time-limited id*ots.

So you can technically skip all the rep grind which took around 20 odd hours while group hooping for last boss kills, what doubled or tripled your rep gained per hour, at the cost of them being slightly higher price minus the title and 4 feats of strength that most wouldn't care about anyway.....
it really pays to play the game while its current content, this will not encouraging people to do it now when they can not take part and get all the rewards without having to put any effect in at all

I have like 300K Marl. I think I'll be okay.

"Aqir Invasions were a major feature added in Patch 12.1.5" :)

Comment by MzPooks

Most players have already maxxed the main reknowns. Why not make the token go towards the Aqir reknown. Sitting in one spot waiting for a 10 minute event to spawn for hours on end is just ridiculous.

Comment by Chezade

Nah, I don't think I will. Terribly boring, event as rewards.

Comment by magicturtle2

Wait so is the rep requirement also getting removed for these item purchases? Why bother with grinding the rep now if it's not going to be required next patch?

Comment by OnionHead

Is there a limit on how much rep you can get at a time? The last 2 i did i didnt get the 100 rep from killing the boss. I'd love to finish this before its gone, but not even the game wants me to do it.

Comment by Leeroy1887

one day we will learn why events like MOP and legion timerunning cant just be cycled events along with plunderstorm being bimonthly events that keep people having random things to do for entertainment

Comment by Cythis91

To be honest, who the hell cares? The decor is just a bunch of eggs. This had to be the worst event Blizzard has done in awhile. Even prop hunt was better, and that is saying something
