Summary
The new Duck Disguiser toy added to the Noblegarden event inWorld of Warcrafttakes six years to get all of its color variations. This bizarre unlock process is not account-wide, causing no small amount of frustration amongWorld of Warcraftplayers.
Noblegarden isWorld of Warcraft’s in-game event that corresponds to the real-life Easter holiday. This year, to celebrate theaddition of ducks inWoW: Dragonflight, Blizzard added a few new duck-themed things to Noblegarden, including a duck holiday storyline, a duck Druid world boss, and several duck rewards, including the Duck Disguiser – a toy that transforms players into one of six different colors of ducklings.
However, fans have been left scratching their heads about one aspect of the Duck Disguiser. The toy itself is an account-wide reward given at the end of the holiday questline, meaning any character can use it. That said, the quest also unlocks one of the six duckling colors when completed. These different variations are not account-wide, meaning players can only earn one during the event, so getting them all requires fans to complete this questline on a single character for six years. Additionally, there is no default option for the toy, so characters who do not complete the quest are unable to choose a disguise – a strange design choice consideringWoW’s focus on alt-friendliness with Warbands inThe War Within.
WoW Noblegarden Duck Disguiser Takes 6 Years to Get
Initially, fans actually thought this was a bug or a glitch, butWorld of Warcrafthas since confirmed it was intentional. Many players are not happy with the restrictions on this new toy and think all the disguises should simply be unlocked for every character. Luckily,WoWhas indicated it is receptive to feedback, so hopefully, the Duck Disguiser will be fixed in the future.
Despite afew parts of the Love is in the Air event rework inWoW, the Valentine’s Day event was quite popular – and the new Noblegarden event has left much to be desired in comparison. With another boss mount featuring an extremely low drop rate, no better ways to farm event currency, and the missed opportunity to finally give players a duck mount, manyWoWfans think Noblegarden missed the mark. Hopefully, Blizzard can give otherWorld of Warcraftevents more satisfying facelifts in the future.
