I'll be honest, this gets old real fast. I was tired of it in BC during the launch of LK as well. People would camp areas and infect you when you were trying to do quests or something else. Extremely annoying!
at last.it was the best even ever.
Fantastic, a pandemic in WoW. Hey everybody, don't leave your house! Social distance!Wait, don't we play games to avoid that stuff?
As a survivor of the last two times they did this, I can say with great certainty that this will push me off live servers until it's over. Griefing your own faction, total zone disruption, and generally being a jerk is promoted by this event, and it becomes impossible to avoid and actually play the game. The best thing about these plague events?They end.
This is the worst pre patch event in history, guaranteed many players will resub for pre patch and immediately ragequit. I think the best solution would be to make it only available in war mode.
As in the real world pandemics it doesn't matter wether you like it or not. You are probably gonna die and I'm going to to make sure to help the statistics. That's the fun in it.
i swear, people will glom onto anything they can just to get a little time in the Offended Spotlight.it's almost like a competition these days, like a game show...who can nitpick the tiniest thing to get offended about, then post all over social media and get all that juicy approval and attention.you'd think with all the terrible other things happening right now, this would be pretty much the lowest priority, but...just play the game, guys. not everything requires microscopic analysis. there's such a thing as too much analysis >.>
Which are the actual pre-patch quests? There are 5 inside Grommash Hold. One outside from the NPC by the Argent banners.
I was there last time too. A few people loudly loved it. A lot of people stopped playing then, I'm sure for some unrelated reason. We had about 20 people in our guild, and after the 3rd day I was the only person still logging on regularly. A lot of people cancelled their subscriptions. Some of them came back, many didn't. By the final weekend of the event, the servers were ghost towns. There should have been a hundred or more people in Shattrath city on a Sunday afternoon, but there were maybe 2 other people besides me. Then Monday, it abruptly ended. Nothing the players trying to stop it did it, just "Green Jebus" saves the day.I guess the management team who saw their active player base crater have all moved on and the new guys want to check again that people still hate it.
Ill take zombie hordes and the occasional troll over dealing with entitled players that need to feel offended at every little thing they deem violates their personal space in an MMORPG. If it's not Blizzard removing fun things to do in game, it's the Buzz Killingtons of the world.It's not even a distant challenge by WoW's current standards of convenience to avoid the event hubs entirely, and still have access to banks, auctions, etc.The only players I could see legitimately inconvenienced would be low levels, so I would expect some kind of phasing, no idea.
