Stormwind Portals Experiencing Technical Issues and Frequent Spawns - Utilize LFG as Alliance
If you're an avid Hearthstone player and want to collect all the amazing Anniversary cosmetics, we have a tip for you: go for an Alliance character. Why? Well, it seems that the Stormwind Portals are consistently spawning, making it much easier to farm the required items compared to the other portals. This means you can save time and effort while still acquiring all those highly valued, new Hearthstone Anniversary cosmetics. From the HearthstoneStone of the Hearth to transmogs, toys, and the stylish new mount, Compass Rose, there's plenty to collect!
Unbalanced Portals
Although there were some hopes that this issue might have been resolved, it seems that the Stormwind Portals are still spawning much more frequently than the others. This leaves players struggling to find the Valdrakken or Orgrimmar Portal spawns, which seem to appear only once every hour or every other hour. On the other hand, the Stormwind Portals consistently spawn in random phases, usually leaving at least one active at all times. This has resulted in a noticeable difference when searching for portal groups in the group finder.
| Portal | Spawn Frequency |
| Stormwind Portals | Consistently spawning in random phases |
| Valdrakken/Orgrimmar Portals | Spawn every hour or every other hour |
As a result, searching for portal groups on a Horde character often yields empty results. However, when doing the same on an Alliance character, you'll usually find at least a few entries and active groups for Stormwind Portal runs. So, if your goal is to collect all the event cosmetics without having to wait for hours, it's best to hop on an Alliance character and head to Stormwind. Simply search the group finder for "Stormwind Portal" groups and get ready to farm! Just make sure you tag Dr. Boom to ensure you receive the loot.
Keep in Mind
Before you embark on your quest for the Hearthstone Anniversary cosmetics, there are a couple of things to keep in mind:
- Due to the high demand for cosmetics, group leaders often receive an overwhelming amount of invites as soon as the group is formed. So, be patient and don't get discouraged if it takes a few tries to get in.
- The abundance of Stormwind Portals raises the question of whether they are spawning too frequently or if the other portals aren't appearing often enough. Only time will tell if this will change in future updates.
Final Thoughts
With the Hearthstone Anniversary event underway, it's the perfect time to collect all those incredible cosmetics. By focusing on an Alliance character and taking advantage of the consistent Stormwind Portal spawns, you can save yourself a lot of time and frustration. So, assemble your group, tag Dr. Boom, and get ready to reap the rewards! Happy farming!
