They had the Balls, and Actually did it!

Be as baffled as you like. The event annoys me to no end. As I said earlier, I’ll log for the duration and fire up my LS Sith Warrior over on swtor. Do OPs/warzones/Flashpoints till Blizz turns it off.

Just stand on a spike and shoot them you are a hunter this event is made for you. They cant fly so they are fish in a barrel for any range.

[Shayera-ghostlands]

We survived the zombie event. You will too.

It needs a lot of tuning. Holy priests can’t cleanse it like they did in the WotLK pre-patch. Have not tried a pally yet. This is hopefully ramped up and not the first day - the WotLK event got incrementally to this level after a few days.

-It is far too easy for ppl to amass dc’ing numbers of zombies; and the susceptibility of NPCs means huge conglomerations in Portal room and around SW.
-NPCs should either not spawn while their current zombie form is still alive, or the former zombie should keel over when a new NPC spawns. Players need to be limited in how many they can each recruit.

What spoilt the last event was because players lost their agency completely. Infected ppl (who didn’t want to be zombies) would turn without any chance to be cleansed because the time to turn was so brief. I noticed that the little groups of yellow vermin can cause an insta-turn as well, looks like percent chance but I didn’t see enough. That is not a good idea.

It needs an opt-in. Then it can be as wild and wacky and chaotic as it wants to be.

As it stands right now it’s little different from getting corpse-camped, except now the NPCs are getting in on the action as well.

[Lingxiu-the-forgotten-coast]

Do the ghouls not have a gapcloser? Then it’s RNG whether you get infected or not, so range is no solution.

[Jimindar-caelestrasz (Jimindar)]

They have a short swiftness ability called ‘Lurch’ which also buffs zombies around them.

[Lingxiu-the-forgotten-coast]

Oh. Neat. So that just compounds itself.

Again, a total clownshow that really needs to be opt-in.

[Pyromor-shandris (Pyromor)]

Hope you like being attack if you are play paladin they come after you like a hunter on it pray. Bro and me did culling of stratholm leveling up and they completely left me to him lol fallowed him to the exist of the dungeon. That’s a lot of zombies.

[Fairlight-emerald-dream]

If only we had a garrison barber!

[Dexterworgen-nordrassil]

Not Everywhere. during WoTLK you only could fly outside of Azeroth and Northrend which wasn’t out yet. so 80% Of content was unflyable.

@Gnasha-grobbulus

tears of those who lack the emotional fortitude to deal with it.

And its that kind of nasty attitudes that will prevail. Because we can’t play nice, toys get taken away. Attitudes like that is what encourages Blizzard to not be risk takers. Because attitudes like that make them look bad.

@Jimindar-caelestrasz

It needs a lot of tuning.

I was hitting like a wet noodle for damage. Also, my shadow priest … I wasn’t seeing damage rolling from dots and channeled spells. And I was also seeing a LOT of MISS MISS MISS. Max level toon so that’s not it.

Their leash range is HUGE. More health that players (meh, until combined with heavy armor) which compounds it.

So yeah … very poorly tuned. Not to mention redridge as an example. There were npcs being attacked by what looked like 20-30 ghouls. If I’d landed … they probably would have swarmed all over me. Just raw numbers will kill you.

[Gnasha-grobbulus]

Not all of us want to play games that cater to the wimpiest crybabies. When you always pitch to the lowest common denominator, it is a race to the bottom. Look at all the hyperbolics and hysterics over an event that will last a few days. People who get their knickers in that much of a twist over this can just stay upset…many of us find that funny.

[Lucifia-illidan (Lucifia)]

My body is ready!

[Waidmann-gilneas (Waidmann)]

Well I see the is still flowing in here do I need to break out the for some of these people?

[Rotkiss-kirin-tor]

@Vadimier-tanaris

Sure, but they shouldn’t insta-gib you. They should just apply the infected debuff.

Like… I was fighting a group of like 40 zombies on my blood DK and was perfectly a-okay and then a roach wandered into my death and decay.

…and one shot me.

thats one hell of a roach!!!

[Waidmann-gilneas (Waidmann)]

@Rotkiss-kirin-tor

thats one hell of a roach!!!

Some days you smoke the roach other days the roach smokes you

[Moused-cairne (Moused)]

Try roof tops…how I did on my druid in Darkshire a bit ago…got to learn to be a roof top sniper…

[Moused-cairne (Moused)]

Go too the Outlands and area 52, there is a barber there not molested by ghouls yet…I went out there on my druid it was clear.

[Fairlight-emerald-dream]

Yeah, at Cosmowrench, too. I haven’t played the PTR - and I was more lamenting not having a barber in the garrison in general; barber mount would be swell, too!

[Mara-kelthuzad (Mara)]

I’m glad they are bringing it back, I hope we can talk cross faction again in ghoul form. Also if people are really upset with this, they can just afk in their garrisons.
