"The event leading to Ultraxion now requires 15 Drakes killed, down from 24."
I swear there was a zero missing from that.
While this is less time spent on Ultraxion trash, I can't help but wish (you know, never happy) that it was...harder.

Sure. Just..don't taunt them down. XD
Docseuzz Feb 7th 2012 9:48PM
Absolutely agree... Make it a gauntlet with increasing spawn rate, and much tougher Drakes. Kind of a DPS check before the _real_ DPS check...
Rai Feb 7th 2012 9:53PM
That's exactly what I mean. At the moment it just gives off the impression that Deathwing made a bunch of really weak experiments, and suddenly the ultimate one. Perhaps they should have just got tougher as the gauntlet went on to try and echo the painful process of the corruption and how it changed over time, fighting harder and harder and finally getting relief, maybe with Deathwing's monologue about his family over it, to build up that feeling of a desperate battle before Ultraxion arrives.
At the moment it's just a case of "Distract them! Ulty's taxi is late!"

Harder would be fine, but please let them drop something. Would be fun to watch the skinners scampering around trying to convince people to loot so they could skin before the next one is up. :)

Noticed today that the portal to the Eye of Eternity is open from the off now during the Siege of Wyrmrest Temple. Not sure if this was a 4.3.2 change or as a result of the hotfixes this week, but it's a really welcome change.

You should have to fight 250 Drakes, on a 30 minute timer, with a debuff that breaks all your gear, and beforehand all you weapons are taken away.
Skarn Feb 8th 2012 3:08PM
Ironically, we had MORE trouble with the drakes last night than usual! It's normally pretty mindless, but we actually lost one tank and all our healers. O_o We were also 9-manning it, so maybe that was part of it....

Yay Ulty nerf!
Matheus Feb 7th 2012 9:33PM
Yay, Ultraxion's trash was really annoying.

"Players now have the chance to receive both the Lovely Charm and Grisly Trophy from a single kill." - Joy. I did not expect them to be able to fix this for this years event.

Drop rate still sucks on the charms. 120+ trophies to 40 charms. I know, I shouldn't complain...
Kadzeroth Feb 8th 2012 10:59AM
The elemental gauntlet in Throne of Tides is great for Charms.

"Drop rate still sucks on the charms. 120+ trophies to 40 charms. I know, I shouldn't complain..."
Better than farming 250 trophies really quickly so that you would have a chance to get lovely charms for the rest of the holiday and not having this chance to get both at the same time ...

Time to test the Grisly/Love fix...
Radioted Feb 7th 2012 10:01PM
Annnnnd it's working! Hot damn!

I actually had a LFR where ALL the drakes spawned filled all the platform with except one tiny portion where 13 people were stacked. They proceeded to kill like 3 drakes before the ultraxion encounter started. Got some pretty cool screenies from it and it was pretty funny (wouldnt want to see it more than once tho).

I already abandoned my Test Your Strength quest :c

thank god, I hated the Skyrim fight. I am so glad they nerfed that pain in the butt.
