Testing feedback thread right here

Thank you!

We’ve just deployed our changes to the Radiant Echoes event to the 11.0.0 PTR.

Please feel free to reply to this thread with any feedback you have on this version of the event from the PTR.

We’re working on major updates to the Radiant Echoes event, based on your feedback.

Since the event went live, we’ve been working to address two main concerns: the wait time for the event, and the rate at which you can earn rewards.

We’re quickly changing it so that the event rotates between zones once each hour, and while the Radiant Echoes are active in a zone, they will remain up for the entire hour.

If you’re still interested in farming the basic mobs that appeared when the event ended, you’ll find that those remain available in the other zones.
