Soul of Iron in battlegrounds

Do deaths inside a battleground count for losing your soul of iron buff or are battlegrounds considered safe deaths?

Yes.

You die, you lose.

dying is dying

I can’t imagine them being stupid enough to make it to where you get a tarnished soul for playing BG’s. That is astoundingly stupid.

You don’t get a tarnished soul for playing Bags.

Dying under -any- circumstances will tarnish your souls.

Yes, even that one.

Let’s hug it out, friend.

I just can’t imagine them being so inept.

Imagine preventing the entire Soul of Iron community to not be allowed to do BG’s at all because of Tarnished Soul. I just can’t wrap my head around them segregating the entire Classic SoM playerbase in such a way, it’s absurd.

They’re just turning the regular hardcore challenge into something with in game recognition.

So… as much as Blizz is often inept… the community made the rules that pvp deaths count a long time ago. Blizz is just putting in an npc that tracks it.

Even dieing in real life would techincally do so.

Well, that’s just poor game design.

Some people are never happy.

You don’t have to play HC. Just make a regular character if you want to be able to die.

Mad respect to anyone who clears all the raids and gets grand marshal/ high warlord with the soul of iron still active.

I don’t think that will be possible. Anyone with that buff in a BG is going to get trained.

Maybe. Professional leechery.

They should make it that we can unlock ashbringer if we don’t die on ALL 8 classes

Better if it’s soul iron buff for PvE and if horde kills you you have to start over. And if you reached 60 without dying and completed all raids without dying while participating and not afking then after you complete your last raid like naxx. Your character is saved with a saved state or checkpoint. So you are safe. And you have to do thesame thing on ALL other 8 classes. However. If you fail on say your third or 5th class or 6th 7th or 8th. Then the 1st characters saved checkpoint is gone. You have to start all over again at 0. That would be ultra hard though. Or blizzard can make it that you are saved per class so if you fail on the 2nd char. You don’t need to delete the first or one before it. I think that’s optimal.

It saves on each player checkpoint after naxx so if you do all raids and die, it is still saved. Or maybe it doesn’t save and if you die it resets to 0. If it doesn’t then that’s ultra hard mode.

Because players are avoiding each other out of fear and chickening for grouping up or doing dungeons or while questing. Why doesn’t blizzard beat this problem by just making the soul of iron buff have two ways to unlock ashbringer.

One is to do PvP and survive long enough for 1000 games on ALL 8 classes. And you can get a count on the buff of 1/1000. And if you fail you can reobtain the buff.

Or second one is you can pick the buff at level 60 and if you die with the

It also resets at first character and not forces you to relevel your first character because some people might not know about the buff before it’s too late and they might waste it when they are level 1. So to be fair. Make it that even after you die on your first character. You can rebuff the buff and get it again. You just need to unlock ashbringer by not dying on ALL 8 CLASSES.
It resets back to the first class. You have saved states. if you die anywhere from your 2nd to 8th different class character then if you had not died on your first and completed all raids (without afking) then you are saved on your first character. Or may be you’re not saved to your first character. But you can still get the buff again and start at 0 classes completed.

So it’s very hard and only some people can get it.

We would need to get corrupted ashbringer as well on the warrior hunter or paladin you want the ashbringer unlocked. So there’s two things you need to do. You would do this after the soul of iron buff challenge of completing all raids without dying.

You get the corrupted ashbringer. Take it to highlord Fairbanks. Go to the outland by cloning your 60 with the corrupted ashbringer. Speak to whoever Fairbanks wanted you to speak with. And maybe return to Fairbanks. Or maybe not.
Maybe when you log back into classic you will have it.

In wowhead blizzard were mentioned that they were going to release ashbringer after mages got atiesh. And they forgot.

Blizzard should give the soul of iron buff some more meaning.

I’m just glad ppl are in lfg looking for groups.
