You only presented your logic.

Okay and?.. I get in the context of Wrath, it doesn’t make sense for zombies to be weak, but why is that something you’re threatening to quit over? If anything, it makes it kind of fun (in my opinion) to kill a bunch of zombies really. Especially player zombos. Have you ever played Left 4 Dead?

Or… maybe they want to try to make it easier, without sacrificing the much of the vision they had in mind because they realize the poor optics of the event, thinking it would make people like it more. Not everything has to be a conspiracy theory, and you don’t need to keep on defending Blizzard here by blaming the community who is merely criticizing it.

Yah that’s exactly where I’m standing and I don’t see them lol…

I’ve already explained to you that I am not considering quitting over the symptom. Yes, the zombie event was huge for me and I’ve literally been thinking about it and hyping myself up for the last few months.

But still that by itself doesn’t mean I should quit, but the MENTALITY that Blizzard has now that they should pick and choose what they deem is worth keeping the same/changing in Classic (aside from clear cut bugs that only make the game worse) is the problem. Blizzard has shown time and time again that they are more than willing to remove aspects of the game and ADD THINGS in just because they think its an “improvement” to what the original team did. I am playing Classic because I believed that the original expansions were far superior to retail.

But current Blizzard seems to disagree and seems to think that the old expansions need to be “fixed” That mentality will affect and has affected the ENTIRETY of the WoW Classic experience. How can you not see that as a perfectly valid reason to quit?

That isn’t a logical conclusion based on the evidence that we have. There’s nothing about the zombie event that they’ve done so far that indicates they want to make it “more fun”. More fun for people who hate the zombie event, maybe. If they were worried about that then they should have just removed it from the PvE realms and not the PvP realms. THAT would have been an intelligent decision that I think most of us would have respected.

The nice Rogue is right are you really going to quit over a event.

what time is it on your server. your server time. not local time.

26

10pm. Why?

27

weird. I thought maybe the event officially ends at midnight server time but that’s not it. that’s really odd.

28

Sounds like all three times they’ve attempted this event it’s gone bad lmao.

Though from memory the only people who want these events are people who enjoy causing trouble

Yeah… very odd… may be something with my game though since I only updated it today and have been away from my computer for a month.

People complaining about something doesn’t mean that the thing itself is bad. Thousands of players constantly complain about World PvP. And yet World PvP is the greatest thing WoW has to offer

To be honest I haven’t seen many complaints. As a matter of fact the things I view suggest that most are disappointed if anything. It’s just disappointing. It’s the end of an expansion, all the content will be irrelevant in like 2-3 weeks anyways. I wanted to go around on my priest cleansing people and fighting off the infection a good little couple days of RP but well…the npc priests were so strong that it made any of my efforts irrelevant lol.

Update: I went to booty bay and found crates. They’re also still clickable and the text pops up but no zombie buff happens. Are the crates interactable for you in Orgrimmar?

yes. that’s what i was talking about. you can interact but no infection.

33

Interesting… then clearly that’s a mistake. Even more weird that you have crates in Orgrimmar but I don’t.

I’d argue that after 3 attempts (wotlk, shadowlands, wotlk classic) if they’re still receiving mountains of complaints then it’s probably a bad event or poorly executed.

I enjoyed it briefly in 08 (?) but ended up annoying some friends and guildies and certainly lost interest after a few hours.

And I’d argue that Blizzard receives “mountains of complaints” for literally everything they do. It’s not indicative of anything. What actually matters is what causes player retention and keeps subscribed players playing the game.

Ending early is now lore, no matter retail or classic.

There’s a difference between some people being able to witness an event they missed but hear very fond things about and with the mindset going into Classic of players being able to relive, or finally experience those events to then change it because fun was being had with it, and a fairly recent launch event that isn’t held in as high of regard as this one in particular.

I dealt with it when it was relevant, it was basically just the Naxxramas launch event and the ZG plague events thrown in one, it wasn’t anything super special, but I can see why a lot of people who began playing after Wrath might want to see it since it’s one of the more fondly spoken about prelaunch events. Though I also don’t know what people were expecting, from memory they didn’t have Kruul attacking cities for TBC at least not that I saw and I was on quite a fair bit.

If Legion Classic comes around and they skip the prepatch event entirely, you’d probably be in the same boat somewhat.

you are fine. im just saying bliz needs to get it together

Yeah… No. Nice Edit mate. :point_down:

Well let’s hope that teaches you a valuable lesson about hyping yourself up to disappointment. :stuck_out_tongue:

Or not, and just keep making threads like this where it’s just mildly amusing where you don’t learn your lesson. You do you. :man_shrugging:

So Consistency? I mean sure, i’l go along with this. Wrath and TBC would benefit with Blizzard not messing around it it too much until it doesn’t follow the things it’s based off of.

…To be quite frank, i don’t know what they removed other then LFG… which, following Wrath’s timeline, came later on.

And i don’t know what things they added that i wouldn’t call an improvement other then ““Ray Tracing””.

Well, good for you. That’s great. I’m glad you’re enjoying yourself in Classic. :+1:

I mean there’s more then 1 way to enjoy Classic WoW, but you do you.

Where i’ve said there’s no valid reasons to quit? I’ve litteraly said you do you. If you feel WoW Classic isn’t doing you any more or that you dislike their practices, you leave constructive feedback on how you feel and leave, or just quit in silence.

Making demands/threatening Blizzard with an unsub into coercing them to listen to you and acting as you know what better then they do, isn’t going to work.

If that’s not a logical conclusion to you, then i don’t think you have the mental capacity to understand why they rarely do this event if all you’re going to do is just blame the people who criticize it and offer your theories here.

Also, Fun is subjective.

they aren’t. feel free to check the wotlk forums for the mountains of complaints. the actual issue is getting into the game LOL
