I’m trying to figure out why, as an Alliance player, I am getting flagged PVP when I port into Stormwind and start getting attacked by the Stormwind guards and other Alliance players.
This just started yesterday after I hit 120 and bought some upgraded gear from the AH. It does not appear to matter where I port to Stormwind from.
Anyone else run into this issue? If so, what was the fix?
Thanks!
any chance you’ve got a Legion quest for the class hall in your quest log?
it’s happening to me, I log in, load up into stormwind and the noise for pvp sounds, and I’m flagged, also channel 1 and 3 stop working
I went from the Argent Tournament ground through the new portal and got flagged upon arrival in SW.
Just had exactly the same thing happen on the Horde side. Used the new portal from event-Icecrown to go to Org, was flagged on arrival and appeared to be in the war mode version of Org as there were a few scourge and some dead folks on the AH steps. The timer expired, but I remained flagged. I tried flagging myself and switching it off, but it didn’t cause the flag to expire. Switched to war mode–which did not appear to change my phase at all–and switched it back off, but remained flagged with 0:00 remaining. Taking the portal to Dazar’alor allowed the timer to expire properly and unflag me, so hopefully you’ll have some luck waiting it out in Boralus.
Extra info: I noticed that it was nearly time for Bronjahm, so I took the Dazar’alor portal to Org, which did not flag me, and then took the portal to Wrath Dalaran which did flag me. (The existing portal to Wrath Dalaran. I didn’t notice the new portal near the command board earlier.) The flag expired properly at the five minute mark, though. For experiment confirmation reasons, I went back to Org via the new Icecrown portal and was again flagged, as is everyone else I see in town.
Maybe it’s intentional, so phase two of the pre-patch event gives us more scourge interaction that we can otherwise get away from by leaving the area if we don’t want it?
Edit: Argh. I just noticed this thread was actually raised from the dead, and the OP posted nearly two years ago.
if pvp is disabled its means disable not able it when bilzz feel like u should it should be a choice to have it on or not. do this right or dont do it at all
they DID do it right.
i don’t believe i’ve ever seen a zombie movie where people get to simply “opt out”
(and this thread is totally unrelated to the original issue, and almost 2 years old) 
It’s not just the stormwind portal, seems to be all portals.
We were told it was going to be an opt in event for PvP. I have characters I want to level but am very limited in the zones my characters can safely access.
what a bunch of rubbish.
i just logged in to try and find some zombies… and there aren’t any.
this has been blown so far out of proportion, it’s just not even funny.
you have an entire world to level in… what’s stopping you?
Not rubbish at all. I’m not going to log into my level 9 warlock and try to level when you’re out there trying to gank her. If I stop hearing credible reports that this is happening maybe I’ll believe it. But you make everything up as you go, that’s your MO. I have no reason to believe you, because you’re only here on the forum to support blizzard by mocking other players and making blizzard look bad in the process.
i see.
so you’re not basing this on first-hand experience, you’re basing your rant on other peoples rants.
perhaps you should consider that as usual, it’s the vocal minority who are blowing things way out of proportion… but sure, if you think screaming at clouds is credible, continue to believe everything you hear.
invasions aren’t 24/7.
can’t gank when there’s no zombie stuff going on.
i’m not sure why you think the entire world is suddenly off limits… it’s extremely hard for people to drag this with them everywhere.
they have to go out of their way to do it.
The thing is, accidental necropost or not, we’re getting PvP flagged going through the capitols, and ganked at the other end. The trivia historians are standing in a pile of corpses in the Caverns of Time, and some campers whacked my Paladin (unsuccessfully) when she came through the portal before going ‘downstairs’.
Why is this happening, and when will it stop? I do NOT PvP, and don’t much like being flagged without consent.
Same thing with pvp flagging
Like it or not, this event is involuntary PvP. If you’re careful and lucky, you may be able to avoid entanglement, but if you’re still leveling your toolkit is a lot smaller and perhaps the only role you can play is “victim”. Maybe once you’re zombified you can play along, but if you just want to do what you planned to do, this week is not looking too good.
Yep, involuntary PvP flag for all toons that enter Stormwind. I don’t want to opt-in to PvP, I don’t have warmode on and my quest log is empty. Ditch this bug.
ur wrong but what ever
