Secrets of Azeroth!

The true secrets are the friends we ma…… ok is blizzard gone? Good!

So who else thinks the secrets of Azeroth is blizzard influencing more of us to work as a community (by using wowhead after secrets are found) so that they can reduce game masters even more cause less knowledgeable players will start to go there for help.

Think about it. :dracthyr_tea:

I think the mental gymnastics people will go through to turn every WoW-related event into something negative is worthy of an Olympic gold medal.

Failure to acknowledge the judges during gymnastics routine. 0.3 deduction.

What makes you think it’s negative.

Oh, insinuating that Blizzard has an ulterior motive to leverage an unpaid third party to cover player support so it can cut more employees was meant to be a positive thread? My mistake.

I love how all the comments on this were all like “oh wooow an event to go read WoWhead every day :roll_eyes:”.

Rather telling that you people didn’t even consider y’know, figuring it out yourself.

The secret events they do typically use moon logic or soft rely on datamining. They aren’t designed for a single person to solve. They literally create puzzles intended to stump dedicated puzzle solving discords.

It is not wrong to assume you won’t be able to figure it out for yourself. Have you never seen an ARG before?

The secrets they usually do aren’t marked on the calendar as a public event.

You do realise in their own support tickets they tell people to use wowhead right? Lol

The public events on the calendar usually don’t indicate to use “community creators” to guide your in-game actions.

However they do have an established trend we can rely on when it comes to secrets so… yeah let’s follow the pattern that exists.

Give up before you even try, if you’re into that.

I’m still gonna make fun of y’all.

Ain’t nobody got time for that.
Gaming USED to be about the story and the journey…
Gamers today are all about the fastest speed run time.

Example: For me… the game Ark was a boring mess.
Why?
There was nothing to draw me in, nothing to make me care, no story to follow… just a bunch of dinosaurs running around.
One day I logged in and asked myself “why am I playing this?” logged out, uninstalled, and sighed at all the wasted potential.

I know this is a hot take for the Ark fans… and I wish it wasn’t true for me.

You really just can’t admit you had a bad take, can you?

GD never changes.

Nice rant. Not sure what it has to do with ARGs and puzzles designed to stump full time puzzle solving communities with tens of thousands of man hours to throw at the problem.

That’s a you problem to figure out. Maybe WoWhead can help you.

I’m sorry that was harsh.

Before there was a sense of accomplishment with overcoming a roadblock in game (given that it was actually possible and a numerical mess that was impossible IE: Cthun)
Now… people have become dependent on someone telling them the answer instead of using their noodle (or noodles… mmmm… noodles) to overcome a mole hill. This is probably due to the ease of finding the solution in seconds.

Once again, I apologize… I haven’t had all my coffee this morning and much like the grizzly… I do not function well in society until I have consumed all of my coffee.

It’s a game problem.

Imagine if you put the effort it took to think up that insanity into something more productive.

Because GMs were never allowed to give out quest hints. Ever.

As the representative of the “negativity before information” crowd today, you’re right about that.

It’s not negativity, it’s realism. Expecting something better than what we normally get is copium.

Expect this to be another Lucid Nightmare with timegating and FOMO.
