But the entire point of the event is to be inconvenient, so it’s not just business as normal leading into the new expansion. I’m a little ways into the PTR and I’m loving it, landing on the roof of grommash hold and still getting zombied, I am willing to concede you probably think it’s all in good fun or just a terrible pain though.
… What.
It’s impossible to try out the new leveling path from Exile’s Reach because the instant you go to a Capitol, you’re zombified. Best of all, you have to complete an escort quest.
Idk a zombie virus to build hype for the new expac would certainly get me more interested in the game since it shows the devs actually attempt to make a fun and vibrant world.
You know how you hate yourself and everyone else in the world in real life? I am saying channel that into the event. Face it life sucks and humanity sucks.
It’s pretty simple. If you don’t want to do it and can’t accept the options offered in game that suit your particular desires, don’t log in.
Pretty sure the majority of the players are going to have fun with it.
OK. I’m done engaging with you, you’re spouting nonsense.
You can do this without enabling griefers. Have the event respect War Mode, and we’re good to go.
Well now that is a legit issue and I trust you have reported it as per protocol. I tried a new character but only got to level 3 before I tired of the zone, but making you go to the capital when the capital is infested is silly even if they end up letting it go until the event is over.

Just telling you the truth about life.

According to the ‘No Opt-Out Crew’, that’s a feature, not a bug.

Did you report it and get an official response?
The ‘bug’ is the World Event’s presence, not where the leveling zone deposits you. There’s nothing wrong with the quest, but it’s impossible to complete in the Event environment.
If it’s a problem I’d think the devs would be interested. So you should report it if a person cannot level at all.
It’s not, in the literal sense, a bug. It’s the fact that there’s no PvP protection for low-levels in a Capitol.

What do you want out of this conversation. Don’t beat around the bush.
You asked me to listen to your points, so i did. (Well you didn’t, but i’m going to guess it’s impled that you want me to take those points into consideration)
I responded to each of them in the previous comment you said them in and even agreed with what you said to avoid the major cities and such.
But then you responded my question to garrison/instances with this.

Could they get there in the wrath event?
I honestly thought were talking about Shadowland’s pre-patch event? Not Wrath’s?
Wrath does have instances to go into for refuge, even though theirs no garrisons. But to bring us back on the same page and disallow topic switching, were talking about Shadowland’s pre-patch.
Shadowland’s pre-patch has not only even more instances then before, but garrisons that shard you from the rest of the world and into your own phase where only you and other party members if you so desire, to enter in. And hence i ask you can ghoul players get to you?
Because you don’t seem to be bothered by the fact that the garrisons/instances are the literal antithesis to your event and what it’s trying to achieve here, and you even say it’s “creative” way to hide from ghouls, when it just completely removes you from the danger. After you said it’s a world event and kept on hammering that home by saying “it’s part of the world, and if you opt out, your opting out of the world and avoiding the rules”, but by your own words here, garrisons and instances are doing the same exact thing. It’s why i called you out for being inconsistent here.
And again, if you were to say something like “Remove garrisons and make instances unenterable for this time”… i would still disagree with you, but i would’ve respected the consistency.

Not hard to understand but you seem to be hell bent on twisting my every word to fit your narrative.
Then feel free to point out where i have “twisted your words” by quoting it.
Guess you don’t want to be a new player during those 10-14 days or however long it lasts? As a vet I could create a new character and veer away from trouble besides inconvenience like not having the ah (which would not be a big deal for your first week or so unless you’re really no-lifeing it).
I guess they figure at this point there isn’t enough new blood for it to matter. If I somehow managed to level from one during the zombie plague if anything I’d be looking for a feat of strength. It’ll be silly but it’ll be doable still.
Which is unfortunate, because I can think of few ways to put new players off a game than greeting them with a respawn screen.

It’s not, in the literal sense, a bug. It’s the fact that there’s no PvP protection for low-levels in a Capitol.
That doesn’t seem like a problem. It’s a temporary event and people have a choice whether to turn on warmode or not, if I understand you correctly.
War Mode doesn’t affect the event. It SHOULD, because it’s players fighting, but it DOESN’T. Maybe because it’s using old Wrath code.
Hopefully that gets updated.

You CAN’T be this blatantly obtuse. You just can’t.
You shouldn’t have a separate shard in cities where you can stroll through unaffected.
