Yeah, so whatever you did to your servers to placate these streamers just got me killed when you brought them back online. Do I get a rez? Probably not. Clown show.

It’s not coming from me, nor you. The game’s still the game and while it sucks that it no longer meets your personal set of standards, the other ~95% of the population is going to continue as they were.

Did you guys pick up any DDoS attacks on the 25’th?

Asking cause I lost my 60 with 13 days played 2 hours after maintenance on the 25’th due to server instability/DDoS?

Even if it wasn’t a direct DDoS attack there has to be a correlation, I also had guildies experience server issues the same time as I and also several hours after.

Kind regards :slight_smile:

Bro I have wasted 2 filters and grounds are everywhere

Should allow an addon or API to track character statistics. Something like GetStatistic(deaths?) would do it. That way if your Hardcore Character has # deaths > 0 you will be flagged. This way players can choose if they want to party with characters who have been resurrected. Personally going back to Defias Pillager until then.

Filters are a scam by Big Lumber. Don’t fall for it.

Huge cope. Anyone that plays after this was never interested in hardcore.

A fact that reassures isn’t a cope.

You don’t really have any authority on this, nor do I. As it happens, the rules and definitions of a thing change over time to accommodate a changing need. Some things won’t ever change because they’re rooted in reality, but this is a game. Not reality.

My character died 7:46am ST on the 23rd when there was a massive dysnc event due to the ddos attacks. You can see in my deathlogs my death was posted twice at this time with no cause of death. Is there only revives happening for a certain times? My 56 Paladin Holyhooterz is still stuck on Manrkrik after the transfer. My Paladin was on Defias Pillager are they only rezzing people from Doomhowl?

Kaivax, you should put an * or a tag/title next to people who got revived so those who havent died can identify those that did

Would you like to make it yellow as well?

agree, at minimum Blizzard should allow addons to track death statistics, if the number of deaths is greater than zero they should be flagged by the addon.

Yeah or just phase them so they can only see others that died

Well this sucks, I died during the race to world first DDoS attack and we don’t get rezzed?
