wtf is with this game. I just got out of a solo shuffle game and changed zone to find a safe spot to park my character so I could grab dinner from the kitchen.
For some unknowable, bugged game reason in the time I was gone not only did I get marked as an assassin but I apparently got and accepted the Alliance Slayer quest, thereby causing the assassin shoutout to happen and marking my location to any alliance who cared to come kill me, which two did, all while totally afk.
Is this some sort of known bug, and if so is Blizz working on correcting it?
It’s sort of funny, but also really worrying if the game can just arbitrarily sentence you to death like that.
I now have a screenshot of the chat showing me leaving the solo shuffle, changing zones and (while I was gone) being marked as an assassin, accepting the quest and almost immediatly being killed. And no, no one came to my computer to accept it for me, plus how could I have killed that many immediately after leaving a shuffle.
During BfA I often did assaults. One day, while I was carrying a level 115 alt as my passenger during the assault, my passenger got flagged as an assassin and was dismounted. It was all very strange.
Generally what I do when I’m done playing is to log out. The computer cools down, it no longer needs to run the fan and nothing happens to my 'toons.
So I’m curious, why did you stay logged in when you knew you would be away?
I’m more curious why you would log off when you expect to be right back. That’s a bit too paranoid for me. This was clearly a bug, after all. I should have been safe, outside unlikely events, but the game basically taking note of me being afk and shouting to all enemy players, “HERE HE IS, GUYS! HE’S GONE! NOW’S YOUR CHANCE” is not something that can be anticipated nor do I feel the need to log off justincase!
To each there own, but I’ve went afk whenever I stepped away for as long as I’ve played and never had an issue like this. My computer loads a bit slow, so it’s a pro vs con thing for me and outside clear bugs like this I’ve never considered it to be an issue.
I do the same thing. It’s a pain waiting for eons for things to load up because of addons (those really bog things down, it’s crazy how much more quickly the game loads without them). The fact someone questioned why you stay logged in while AFK is baffling to me.
You went to have dinner and you were going to be righ back? Just grab the tray of fried chicken and head back to Azeroth saying “The rest of you can eat the veggies”.
Game does odd things. Has for years. you as a dk don’t want to leave a BG and go home right away in wrath. Or bg sign up from there.
Sometimes the fine residents of acherus will now drop you like a rock lol. Game confuses the pvp tag from bg and the guards attack you for some reason.
That’s what I did, only it was turkey. I brought my plate back to my desk and found myself dead. Gone for maybe 5 minutes. I feel fairly confident that I would have been just fine if the game hadn’t directed enemies directly to me with an offer of loot.
If something like this had happened in FF14 or another MMO there would be a hotfix tonight, yet I doubt blizz will even read this and that makes me sad.
