I’m reading it over and over and can’t figure out what it means.
Bluewalling , also known as blue shielding or blueflagging , is the act of attacking someone who has their PvP flag up when yours is not up. It is considered by some as dishonorable due to the lack of fair chance to attack you before you approach. While not against any specific rules, it is up to the player to decide if they want to be “honorable” or have the upper hand.
it means your name is blue because you aren’t flagged for pvp.
oh
i just want to know that upon learning this term, i confess i am absolutely the guy that does not wait for people to buff up or bow in Dark Souls
blueflagging is an old old term. i also don’t think it’s possible any longer since, y’know, war mode.
anyways this whole event could happen without being disruptive if it happened anywhere but a main city.
Fear bombing as a priest is always fun. We wait for no one!
Imagine waiting for people to buff up and bow in dark souls. I’ve got things to do and a covenant to rank up.
Oh if a bluebro shows up in my world prepare to get scraped.
big “unlike you snowflakes i’m not so easily triggered” energy
now that i think of it i have “bluewalled” a few times in Stormwind
paladin stealth OP
like, if the intent ISN’T to be disruptive and annoying, the Horde group can attack anywhere that isn’t a main Alliance city. you can even get Legion of the Dawn or some other A-side guilds to defend it.
but if the only goal is to attack Stormwind, and there’s no attempt to connect with a defending team, it becomes really clear what the actual intention is.
honestly i’ve never heard it used in offensive contexts before, only as lingo for avoiding pvp by not flagging.
same though, fair fights just give your opponent a better chance to win.
the Storming Stormwind achievement, clearly
where you go kill Anduin at the Varian memorial, er i mean the Mage Quarter portal room, no wait i meant the Cathedral, no wait -
blueflagging used to be a shameful/mockworthy thing because as said above, it was a way someone could remain 100% safe from you until they had backup or buffed up or w/e, then they could attack you at their leisure because you couldn’t attack them until they flagged.
Your majesty, the royal treasury is nearly empty.
Which is funny because it’s not even the reason it was removed.
You don’t understand Bae. They’re bored and the minimal effort for RP-PvP has to be met because of this.
I still don’t have that achievement.
We’ve gotten this far in the thread with out the obligatory reminder that PvP is the devil.
Same. Killed them waaaaaaay back in BC, never really thought to kill the Horde/Alliance leaders since. I might have some, but…never really think about killing faction leaders anymore.
tbh most of the people who have been invading SW as of late aren’t people I’d ever want to seriously RP with. They seem like absolute chores who just want to go on power trips instead of telling a collaborative story.
i bet you ledge in for honor
real rp-pvpers know that rp-pvp is cursed and never ends in anything but pure drama that isn’t worth the joy of winning
