Weekend Warfront: Days of Doom

Image

The ancient site known as Doomfist Crater is one steeped in myth and lore. Now Order and Destruction forces converge upon the broken landscape, determined to deny their enemies access to whatever treasures may lay buried beneath the surface.

This weekend Days of Doom will be the weekend warfront from 12:00 on Friday to 12:00 on Monday Altdorf time. You get +50% XP and Renown in the Doomfist Crater scenario, and extra rewards from completing the event tasks.

Completing all tasks gives the title: The Doomed

"Decimate the forces of..." is much harder to complete when the zone isn't active (which is most of the time now), could that one also be reduced?

Also it seems there's some new players joining the server after the new capitals announcement, will they have enough time to complete all the events now?
T2 Dwarf zones aren't even active for most of the time, you only get them for about an hour after a city siege, they should be made open more often honestly (not all the time though, coz it will cause the same activity issues as T1, better make them locked for some time and open up to concentrate the activity, just more often than City cycle).

Also the rewards are a bit... i remember hearing the event was planned to be done on the main character only, but the way rewards work doesn't really reflect that, you still need to do it on multiple chars if you want the cosmetics on multiple chars, which is no different from any other event.
If the final rewards (the items themselves) were account-bound you could at least freely move them between characters to use/apply the appearance. Though that still requires some events to be done on each side or on every race for a full clear.

A patch focused on the new content only as the game needs attention to its most important things. That was my fear but not a surprise.
Classes balance
Rvr ideas to make ppl enjoy it more instead have a dozen players sleeping in front of the keep being sieged, like seasonal changes for example.
Lost Vale.

To add to that, the hard part is that the kills are only given to the party with the highest damage (from what I understand). So healers are pretty much out of luck unless your in a good group. I have almost zero kills in those categories.

What the heck to think these events are for the past few months? I don't think new PvE dungeon will help all that much, the PvE player base isn't that big on this server.

So another month without non-dwarf/greenskin sc? Even a single EvC sc would help to get some quests done for people leaving t1 and trying to do keeper set quest. :)

Do you see SC outside of qq with default UI?
