Great White Elekk trolling, can't photo it as it's getting ganked in 1 second

Why do quests go live like this? Can’t do the Valentines daily as before I can even snap the photo, it’s dead.

A prime example of how others will ruin your game play just because they can.

I’m not sure what quest that is, but I feel like from your description, it shouldn’t even be targetable.

Valentines day quest, sends you to Nagrand to photo animals. All the rest are easy, this one will run you over and stun you so you can’t snap a photo of it, then it’s just dead. It’s impossible.

Best I can say is to try Warmode if people are killing it. See if that helps cut down on the trolling. :slightly_frowning_face:

The worst part about wow is wow players.

Yeah that one is pretty poorly designed. You kinda just have to know where it spawns and be ready with the camera. I dunno why the devs don’t see this kind of issue coming.

it attacks players from the camera flash

You would think they would make it so the animals don’t attack from the flash!

As others have said, it aggros on flash. It doesnt take long to respawn, you’ll be fine. Just wait for him to spawn, then get the camera out and snap, its easy

I took a picture of him before I got that close to him, he never charged me.

No one else was around when I did it, though.

Just gonna say, it’s okay to fail even trivial quests sometimes.

“easy”

took me a total of 8 respawn and feeling like I just got lucky to finally get.

There’s like 20+ people around in the phase I was in. It was beyond frustrating.

Today I learned you can “gank” a non-player character.

I would say this is ok if you’re failing due to your own actions (or inactions). But not when it’s due to other players being trolls. And especially when it’s a limited time event.

:hear_no_evil::see_no_evil::speak_no_evil:

you can take the photo from far away or as its being killed just cant take it after its dead i took mine as it was dying

It’s easy to stand back and take a photo from range where you don’t have to wind up killing it but that would require self control among an entire crowd of players stomping around Nagrand. :smirk:

Like elekks?! :grin:

I counted, I can get my goal rewards without doing the daily quests so I’m sticking to the main quest and the daily boss.
