Are you sure it doesn’t? What makes you think there would only be a single ghoul. It would very likely be hordes just like we see them now. Sure they might go after different targets then you, but then again that is what is happening now. And with the number of them covering the world… Wouldn’t the aggro radius also make it so you can never really get out of combat?
I see no difference between a overpowered PvE event and a PvP one. Only difference is, the PvP event allows the players join in on the fun, instead of just being a victim. I feel like they made the right choice.
The idea isn’t for the PvE event to be overpowered to the point of overwhelming the players. The PvE event would be balanced for the players to face a challenge, but eventually overcome it. You sound like you’re proposing a must-lose scenario. We ARE supposed to beat this and enter the Shadowlands after this, right?
I made my suggestion because I’d rather not log off for two weeks. If they don’t see fit to take a look at it, that’s on them. I’ll go do something else for a while, and when I come back saner minds will have sway again. I’d rather get to play, but I’m not going to if I have to risk getting ganked over and over.
The start is suppose to be a must-lose situation that is the point.
This is the point in the story where all hope seems to be lost, the point before the hero finds his or her strength to fight back the darkness. It’s literally a key part of every story.
Then balance the PvE around that. Push the player group to a challenge. It’s not supposed to be a wipeout of everything. Otherwise Anduin, the Horde Council, everyone’s zombies and no one’s alive to lead in Shadowlands. Whoops!
There is safe spaces… That is where the resistance is gathering. Also btw… I don’t want to give spoilers but what you said about Anduin and the Horde council… well about that.
So then I go there and don’t come out until this nonsense is over. Mechanically, the battle’s unwinnable until the NPCs step up to the plate, so that’s when the players can actually get involved. Otherwise you’re just taking on a repair bill for the fun of it.
It’s not exactly suppose to be fun really. Not if you choose to only be a living type. What you are feeling is a bit of the point. They are using this event to give you a feeling of hopelessness, despair, frustration, and weakness. If you feel these things then the event is doing it’s job.
So I asked this if the OP and I’ll ask you. If there was an opt out but you also sacrifice any and all rewards from the event, you’re good with that?
I can’t wait for the event cause the last one was so much fun but if others don’t think it’s fun let them opt out as long as they don’t QQ that they should have another way to get the rewards.
Wrath of the Lich King begs to differ. I get some people will be upset by it, but A. it’ll be fun to troll for a bit, and B. the game showing how bad it is for the SL events happening is also really cool.
