I have gone into 20+ servers and have not seen the new ashen cloud. Is it bugged or just extremely rare?
Ashen winds bug
@schwammlgott I don’t want to stay in a server for however long it takes to spawn when I can just server hop. It seems more effective to do it that way but the event just seems to be really rare
@outlawkingpin18 I believe the servers are a tad breaking because of all the server hoppers trying to get the event. So many get completed that they dont appear because no one is doing skullforts or flameheart

@brandts-pop read this ☝️
@Rare-Community-Managers please finally do something to prevent server hopping...at this point I don't mind giving them a 30 minutes time out to play (a bit drastical, I know)

No thanks. Rare can either learn to lower their comm requirements, or learn to enable multiple world events at the same time until then, I'm hopping to get them done.
I'd rather not waste my time with winds - fort - flameheart - server merge into fleets - fort - winds.. when all I want to do is ashen winds
It's annoying and stupidly unnecessary

Let me guess, you finished already all the ghost fleet commendations and stuff?
How I "love" this mentality...getting all done as fast as possible, just grinding that one thing out and then complaining, that there is nothing to do (not especially you @Tre-Oni , this is for everyone)
@schwammlgott It's a simple matter of wanting to play the new content without having to lay out 4 hours of old content first. No one here complained there was "nothing to do".

Not in this thread maybe, but it was always complained about in the past...
You still can do the new content, just wait a bit or do something else until it appears, what's the problem with that? Why 4 hours? Start the game, finish one fort and then it should appear, done in less than an hour...@schwammlgott should appear or will appear? (I done two forts and a FH fleet before my first Ashen boss fight yesterday, we server hopped after that.) Server hopping is the quickest way to try this content if that's what you want to see. No point trying to shame players for it.

As with the flameheart event in the first month it always appeared at least every 2nd time, sometimes even 2 in a row...so if I start the game and finish one fort, so the new event can spawn, I need up to 45 minutes for that...by this time I already have plenty of supplies as well...how long do you need to find one by server hopping 20+ times?
I've played 2 separate sessions yesterday and I've seen the event both times. Other events were up when I joined though.
Server hopping might not be the best strategy if everyone is doing it and no one completes the other events. I guess server hopping has become to popular especially at the start of new events.
I played in the same server for 4 hours last night, fought two Lords (One solo vs. a duo sloop competing for the same Lord, one fought solo with a galleon, made an alliance after the fight and had a grand ol' time) then I had a third cloud appear as I was logging out.
Not to criticize anyone else's play style, just suggesting that maybe server hopping isn't the most efficient way to experience this content right now.
@schwammlgott Flameheart is a lot more common than the Ashen Lords in my findings. I can find an ashen lord in about 6ish hops on average (on pc thats fast) . If its not an ashen lord then is more times than not a Flameheart Fleet. I rarely ever see normal fleets now (but that's for another topic).
This is all RNG though and anecdotal to be fair. But when my friends and I party up after work and wanna do the new content (we play every couple days regardless of new content so its not because we have nothing to do) then we dont want to play old stuff for a couple of hours hoping the AL event triggers. We may as well just hop for one.
Off topic - The skull is OP strong against skeletons (even named captains) any one tried taking down a AL with an Ashen Winds skull yet? Would like to see if it works. I have yet to see two AL events pop back to back to try.

Because that isn't how it actually plays out...
I literally joined a game we did one encounter, then a fort popped, we did it, then flameheart popped we did it, and then we server merged into a fleet.
At that point... F U Rare.. You're literally wasting my time.
How the hell do we get an entire month of garbage molten sands fort and nothing else when its new, but when we get a new encounter here Rare still can't run multiple events, and instead expects you to wade through the 6 other encounters that already exist on a random rotation before you get to what's current?

In this case, you are right...especially in the first month of the update EVERY 2ND EVENT SHOULD BE THE ASHEN LORD, like it was last month with flameheart...

Do the other clouds and it will popup.
Yeah.. "eventually".. if RNG encounters permit. By then you could have spent 3 hours doing several encounters you weren't even interested in. Fun.
@tre-oni Yea, i noticed that....after my friend and i did a Skellyship encounter....a FlameHeart came up.
But after that, the ashen wind came up!@reapinglegion said in Ashen winds bug:

But after that, the ashen wind came up!I haven't had that luck. I've managed one after work so far with every other encounter and their grandmas popping up. We did several of the other encounters hoping to see winds after each one, only to get server merged into yet another cycle without seeing a single winds again. In 4 hours of playing I did literally 1 thanks to every other encounter, legitimately clearing each one, and getting shafted after a completion into a merge to do it all again..
I also don't think new content showing up to be done should really come down to just "right place right time"
