So i need to ding 90 before i can get moar achievements?:(

Always been the way with expansions, it's just unfortunate that MoP is being released during Brewfest. However all non level specific achievements are still the same, just the Holiday ones, as I posted earlier, we could always ask Blizz to delay the release date

FIXED that for ya!

Way to go blizz, content that NO ONE can access or will be able to until half way through the event, top drawer stuff, excellent.

Another rushed expansion, very little thought or consideration for the people that pays your wages.

We have a whole new expansion to play around with. Is Brewfest really that important in the overall context of things? Talk about the tail wagging the dog! I think this is a great example of how some people will always find a reason to complain.

They are launching an expansion to satisfy 10 million people's desire for new content. How is this showing very little consideration to the player base?

And you don't pay anybody's wages....

I now have a choice between:

Zerging through questing without enjoying it, so that I can catch the achievements.

Enjoying questing, but miss out on Brewfest mounts and What A Long, Strange Trip It's Been.

This really sucks. :(

Since Brewfest starts before MoP is out, it makes sense to keep it at level 85. It'll give players more to do while they wait for it, and it'll be more content for those who can't get MoP during the release.

Some people will zerg through questing and others will take their time to enjoy the content.

To me it does seem to make more sense to keep it at 85 but as with previous expansions I guess they expect a lot of people to race to 90 in a few days.

If you would rather rush through an entire continent and all the new zones and levels just so you can spam a boss for the 7th (?) year in a row for the small possibility of gaining a mount (a purley cosmetic item) then I think you're looking at it in a strange way.

MoP > Brewfest not Brewfest > MoP

Brewfest boss drops trinkets, right?

Trinkets are usually rather hard to get. If I remember right, these trinkets have been fairly good. I'd like very much to have one this year. I'd like to have 2 actuallay, for my main and my second - healer and spell dps ones.

Having 10 days to level two characters and have time to spam the boss in order to get both, is going to leave not much time for real life acivities.

I really hope the will delay the brewfest with a week.

If the community lie down & accept being screwed over by this, what next??
Don't let Blizzard set a precedent with this.

lol, i may get u, but not all the people are the same,
for u a cosmetic item is just trash, ok, i get ur point of view and i respect it, but for other players, like me, maybe its different, maybe i like to collect mounts and pets, just to look my character on everyone of them.
if i will be able to run coren for the mount, u may instead skip it and go to do the stuffs that u prefer to do, without problem, but if im forced to skip again even this time the little possibility to get the mount that id like to have (=trash for u), u dont care, i care instead.

sorry my very bad english :(:(:(

i mean to say that, even if u dont care to have that mount and to run coren to get it because u prefer to go in pandaria, why it have to be the same for me too? cant i choose to run coren for the mount like i want to do, like u choose to go in pandaria and see the new stuffs? :):)
if they leave me to run coren, u have not to do it too, u may do what u like, u may even not run coren if u dont like. instead they dont leave to me (and to other players like me) the choice to do what id like (=get that mount for my collection :))

sorry my english :(
have a great day :)

If the community lie down & accept being screwed over by this, what next??
Don't let Blizzard set a precedent with this.

they may do what they like :(:(
when u sign up to play the game u agree they may do whatever they think is good for the game that they rule :(:(
ur only choice is to stay or to go away :(:(
here im just asking to them to make a choice more fair for many players like me, and hope for their understanding of our wills :(:(:(

sorry my english :(

dont need to delay brewfest, or mop, at the end. not at all :S:S
just make like in the begin of wotlk (if i remember right).
the very firsts holidays stay with the previouse lvl of gear and requirements.
make brewfest (and maybe halloween too :S) with lvl85 gear and lvl84 to attune.
nobody want the rushers get lvl90 epic trinkets at the very begin of the expansion.
nobody want to rush and get a very bed levelling experience to avoid to stay without that so OP trinkets (at the begin of the expansion).
so, blizzard, u have proven many times to be able to do the right stuff, this have to be one of those times :):)
ur lovely ever dear faby :P:P

If you would rather rush through an entire continent and all the new zones and levels just so you can spam a boss for the 7th (?) year in a row for the small possibility of gaining a mount (a purley cosmetic item) then I think you're looking at it in a strange way.

I always take time to read quest text and enjoy the content, but I also don't want to wait another year to get my violet proto drake/brewfest mounts. I like leveling, but I also like collecting things and that's the problem.

Hopefully Blizz will postpone Brewfest or keep it at 85, so that people like me can enjoy the different aspects of the game.

Regardless of what Blizzard want to do with the event, because the rewards are ilvl 470 epic items many players WILL rush to level 90 to get as many days in on the boss as possible because that early in Mists ANY advantage you can get will go a long way.

Heroic dungeon drops are only ilvl 463.

Imagine being able to kit out trinket slots with epic items in week one, I can see many dps players even using healing trinket just for the Int and there are 3 tanking trinkets on offer.

Yes the dungeon drops are better itemized but you have to actually complete the dungeon and the item has to drop and you have to win it so going to a boss where the loot table is very small will be very attractive.

Blizz at the very least should consider one of the following three changes:

1. Do not update Brewfest to Mists level until 2013.
2. Nerf the boss so that you can do it with a sub 90 level character and nerf the ilvl accordingly. Essentially make the drops high end levelling gear for 86-90.
3. Extend Brewfest beyond the second week so that more level 90 players get access to it.

Blizz should be trying to extend the levelling experience as much as possible in my opinion, the hardcore will be rushing regardless of Brewfest but Brewfest is just throwing another advantage at players for rushing.

This is the type of thing that while meant to be an enjoyable fun part of the game has the potential to ruin the early weeks of Mists through the sheer attractiveness of the rewards so early in the tier.

I get what you're saying, English is fine and I understand for collectors / achievement junkies this is a disappointing bit of news but surely there are dozens of other new mounts / items / achievements being brought into the game?

It doesn't seem a proportionate response to suggest delaying the release of MoP or to act like this is an affront to the community (see post 84!).

Brewfest is an event that is still going to happen for the same fixed duration as every year. Given the choice between having Coren Direbrew (one encounter in the festival, though the one people are most interested in, granted) 85 or 90 they have opted for 90. I assume they decided that people would want him at 90 to 1) be something of a challenge for those at MoP max level rather than an obsolete faceroll from the outset, 2) drop items scaled for 90s rather than 85s thus making them useful rather than obsolete, again from the outset.

If they left him at 85 people would be unhappy as well. I honestly think they went with what they thought most people would want. It's not about screwing over the community, its about choosing the best option. People may disagree of course but there is nothing untoward happening here.

I always take time to read quest text and enjoy the content, but I also don't want to wait another year to get my violet proto drake/brewfest mounts. I like leveling, but I also like collecting things and that's the problem.

Hopefully Blizz will postpone Brewfest or keep it at 85, so that people like me can enjoy the different aspects of the game.

I understand. I'm not sure there is a "perfect" release date that would avoid the levelling vs festival issues (Halloween comes soon after). I rather suspect they want the release date in Q3 for their results announcements but people who want Coren for trinkets will want him at 90, people who want him for the mount and to enjoy the levelling experience will want him at 85. I genuinely think this is an either / or rather than accommodate both camps kind of decision and they have gone for 90.

Sorry :P

Argument still stands...what would you

a) Release a week earlier.
b) Release a week later.
c) Push the event to happen week later.
d) Keep the event at 85.
e) Duplicate the event, so have it 85 and 90.
Plenty of options there. :-)
The current option focuses on leveling "quick quick quick, rushy rushy rushy". Not that it's a big Experience anymore, Cataclysm was already rapid. I didn't sign up for beta, so can't tell the natural pace of leveling, but - exaggerating! - if I ding those 5 levels by killing one boar each, I won't even think about the event being inaccessible! :-)

This is a retarded move by Blizzard. I was looking forward to the levelling experience in MoP, but since it classhes with Brewfest, and I was aiming to complete achies+get mounts since they never dropped for me since they came out.

It's going to be impossible for anyone to get these trinkets this year.

Brewfest will be updated for Mists of Pandaria. This means that you will have approximately 10 days after the release of Mists of Pandaria to reach level 89 in order to queue for the Brewfest dungeon boss. Luckily though, a lot of the content does not have a level requirement so you will still be able to participate in a lot of the fun even if you are not level 89 :)

10 WHOLE DAYS.

I think most of it is done in a few.

Ghostonomy , just one person mentioned moving MoP release date and in a sarcastic way , the second guy didn't get the sarcasm and is totally blowing it out of proportion. It shouldn't be a faceroll and it should be tuned for 90 , but they should really consider the needs of the many Mount collectors like myself and make sure we have the same chances to get the mount as we had last year - 15 tries per character. I'll burst through the content on my Warlock to try and get Realm First and I'll level my hunter the next day so I won't miss too many chances but still I'll be very unhappy if I have to look at that Kodo in my Not collected section for another year.
Moving the whole Festival a week later is probably the best option because most people will have the time to get to 89, trinkets will be very nice boost for our freshly leveled characters and we'll have all the time we need to complete the desired achievements.

You can get every trinket in less than an hour once you reach level 89-90. Because they drop from the boss himself and you can kill him as many times you want .... and you have 10 days to get to level 89 and try the boss.

There are plenty of trinkets from quests in MOP beta - so hopefully this remains when it goes live. You should be ok ;)

Another cons argument :
They won't be enough people 89+ in the 10 days (and less) left to create a group easily in the lfg tool.
Don't expect to find a group in 5, 10 or 30 minutes maybe never at some hours.
The less you have people to use donjon finders the more you have to wait.
MoP begins well...

aaah brewfest my favorite time of the year :D

Wow is this a joke? I've not missed a single holiday event this year (since i hit 85) cause i'm going for the proto drake and now your telling me i need to speed level to 89 or I won't complete Brewfest? This is ridiculous but it's not the only thing blizzard sucks at lately.

Before someone says four levels doesn't take long September is usually the busiest month due to college starting, having coursework to do and stuff and having to make time to be with my girlfriend.
