New bug since patch that automatically unflags you if you enter a new zone or log into a city or zone into a city. For example if you portal into blasted lands you remain unflagged even if you have “flag for pvp” toggled on. The same thing is happening in Battlegrounds where you can’t be attacked at the start of the match until you engage.
I understand most people don’t care about this and it doesnt effect them but on Grobbulus this really negatively effects the WPVP on the server which is part of what makes Grobb fun. We have had constant wpvp since the start of the server and this bug kills it almost entirely. Also not being able to attack people in battlegrounds is a huge problem and bug that people will start exploiting soon if not already.
bump, still effecting game-play, not sure what could cause this. The way it works seems very on purpose and not a bug, but it really has no place on a server like Grobbulus where players of both factions choose to always remain flagged for pvp. What is resulting now is an entire server of unflagged players regardless of zone.
This is not how Cata was in original retail version, I am not sure why current day retail mechanics and anti wpvp coding is being pushed onto cata classic. This is really ruining the last place on cata classic where you can find genuine wpvp.
half the battlegrounds I go into no one can attack each other at the start. opposite sides just running up to each other and dancing around until the game decides its ok for people to attack.
Keth Edit: I moved this post over here to keep the thread that it was originally posted in focused on its own topic. That said, this issue s under investigation.
still an issue. a very dumb issue. why is this still an issue? being ignored completely. have like 2 people working on cata classic is the only explanation and neither of them care about pvp. Wow classic really sucks
Yeah i play grobb and id love for wpvp to have an opportunity to exist i just leveled an alliance hunter from 1-85 this week and while i saw a few horde on the way up only 1 was ever flagged. Dont even get me started on unflagged players in bgs.
Helios greek god of the sun agrees and doesnt think that people should be unflagged for pvp out in the world on an RP/PVP server, the last server with actual wpvp. No other servers have wpvp but grobb does. or did. Helios demands attention. Also What is this about dragonsoul release? I didnt eeven know. Was there any pvp? I weap tears of light onto the towns of millions
Been over a month of complaining about this and still absolutely no reply from blizz? not even a forum comment? Absolutely stupid. We pay for this game you know? No excuse for such a simple yet game changing bug to not even be addressed in writing. Pathetic.
Actually, Knivz, I checked and your Eye of the Storm was before the resets on Tuesday so the fix wasn’t active yet. Can you keep an eye out and reply to this thread if it happens again, including the battleground name and the rough and timestamp? Thanks.
That’s weird. When I tested this hotfix the other day, I was flagged on leaving AV on a PVP realm. I’ll dig further when I get a chance. Thanks for the followup!
Which BG were you in and where did you exit to? We’re intentionally not persisting the flag from the BG when you exit to friendly territory (or on a PVE realm) to help ensure that players aren’t attacked by neutral guards after going through a loading screen. This means that friendly territories (such as Orgrimmar since you’re Horde) won’t auto flag you even if you leave a PVP activity.
