And? If you were forced to do something you hated for a week, you’d be outraged and wanting to change it too.
For the record: I support a PvP/PvE hard split, so you all can get your progression and gearing through strictly PvP means. In fact, now I ardently support it because I never want to be in the same shard as anyone that thinks like this event wants you to think.
You’re not “forced” to do anything. The zombies aren’t going to be covering every square inch of every single zone, nor will they be able to go inside instanced content.
Why does this matter?
If what I find inconvenient is the players participating in the events, nothing changes. It’s still inconvenient to me.
The difference, of course, is that in one scenario you get to play the game free of harassment and grief and in the other you get your game taken away from you.
It is clear which one of these a troll would prefer and, true to form, that is the option put forth.
They got to Crossroads, and that was just a cursory exploration of the zone. Razor Hill had also completely fallen.
So, uh, that’s a decent chunk of Durotar that’s no-go. Are towns just forbidden?
People doing the Zombie Plague impede my gameplay by relentlessly killing me and/or NPCs in the area I need to interact with. People doing those events impede your gameplay by…?
Agreed. I like the event but maybe take the pvp aspect out unless war mode is on. Maybe scale the zombies like everything else. It needs to be balanced so all levels can enjoy the event or move on to something else if they want
There’s more to the World of Warcraft than Durotar and the Barrens.
When you opt out you should be FORCED to participate in the KAREN QUESTLINE
where its you arguing with an NPC manager for 30 minutes]
if you argue successfully a giant hand appears in the sky and comes to earth and holds your hand and walks you to a line of NPC’s that literally just give you all of the events items for free
The problem is that cities are basically off-limits because Critters can spread the Plague, and it reaches places like Silvermoon.
So, uh, we’re back to EQ-style monster-grinding?
I’m sorry that you can’t have fun without unwilling victims. Really, I am.
I wonder if you would still be saying that if they did put in an opt out.
Out of my control tbh. If they do then the event will be another flaccid flop of an event just like all the prepatch events since wrath.
If you made the event opt-in, like I’d suggested at the top of this thread, you might even get MORE participation and a BIGGER outcome because people aren’t pressured to stay in. People could peek their head in and try it, and if they like it, stay sharded. Otherwise, they move on.
Stop forcing people to be victims and encourage them to be participants.
Why do you think we went to Northrend to fight Arthas, ya kook? The Scourge brought the fight to our doorstep.
And it’s happening again. No one goes to the Frozen Throne for a leisure day picnic. We need a narrative reason to head up there. And thousands of zombies descending from necropolises (this is the correct plural for those of you wondering) to slaughter our people provides that narrative.
I’ve never said ‘cancel the event’. I’ve routinely said ‘hey maybe don’t force it on literally everyone’.
Thus, opt-in.
If there’s not opt out the participation would be EVEN BIGGER! Opting out will just make the event fail and be forgettable like all the other events after the original scourge invasion.
That shouldn’t be safe either.
Just saying.
So if even one player is allowed to opt out, the event is a failure? Despite, what, let’s say 15 million hopping on, if that number in the event is 14,999,999, it’s a failed event?
Funny you think wow has 15 million players.
I’ve said it so many times now but you just don’t get it. At all.
World event. Should affect the entire world with no exceptions. Anything less detracts from the event.
Fine, ignore the numbers I posted, they’re hypothetical anyway.
Event participation of N-1 players out of N possible players is a failure.
