BlockquoteYou didn’t play when the pre patch for wrath of the lich king brought the first zombie invasion,. that was epic. People ended up doing zombie raids to attack the cities!! I had so much fun, or maybe it’s that I was 14 years younger xD
No it was actually that much fun. Not like this one where it is ruined becuase of crybabies complaining!
Has anyone imagined the other side of this coin?
I did not give my consent to be attacked by monsters in the wild! I paid 6 months at a time to sit idle in cities and do nothing! The game is unplayable any time I leave the city! I should not be attacked unless I choose to attack first!!
LOL. It’s not a bug. It’s the mechanics.
I love it. I love being a Zombie too trying to spread the virus as much as I can. And when I am done, I switch back to my body and start destroying the Zombie population. I love it. It’s 10/10 on me. LOL. From time to time, this is what WoW needs.
I tried multiple times yesterday in SW and Darkshire and could not get infected even while flagged. 
My hope is that, with the reset, the drop rate for the Northrend rares increases (no reason not to, it’s not new transmog and just catch-up gear) and the zombie infection increases as well.
For those of you that don’t have the broom “toy” from the Northrend Argent vendor, get that and do your part when an invasion happens. That will further neuter the risk of infection for others.
That said: I have died once to this on any of my characters, and yesterday was my work week’s “Saturday” and I played a fair amount during the morning and early-to-late afternoon. Then, I came back before bed for another chance at James Brown’s bag, and that was the only time I died.
I logged in and someone ran through the portal in Kul Tiras and corpse exploded. I didn’t die but got infected.
It was freaking hilarious.
I rezz’d, went to SW and more zombies. I had fun with that and killed a few players, exploded and got a few more in the Dwarven AH, then died.
After I rez’d I went about my day.
This was on Proudmoore, so not some podunk backwater server.
I saw people complaining, but I saw no one being camped. I saw people having fun as zombies, and other people briskly walking to healers.
I really don’t get the complaints about it being unplayable…
…but here’s hoping today things get much more interesting…
working as intended
sorry you are so bad at the game you cant simply run or fly away, if you die in two hits to zombies your gear is garbage
embrace the chaos you coward
My first time playing during a launch and I find it to be fun, plus you can just mount up and fly to avoid the zombies.
No different than the previous zombie event for wrath. Also it fits the story and narrative that the Scourage is running rampant. You think if the world was taken over you could sit in a corner and be like “sorry zombies, I’m not participating you cant hurt me!”
Literally where? I went to SW and nothing.
That’s funny, I can still log in and kill things. Maybe something is wrong with your account. Maybe it’s just you, making the game unplayable in your own head.
Isn’t the zombie invasion ONLY taking place in Stormwind and Orgrimmar?
Mega comment time!
“it’s just one week guys, so you can’t criticize or complain about it!”
I mean it’s just one week, so why your defending the event or even arguing at all?
Except nobody is controlling it. Why you keep on insisting that people have control over this world, when in actuality, they used one of the phases that Blizzard has provided, i don’t know. Plus WoW has established itself to have infinite alternate universes and so on. To have a different phase isn’t far fetched anymore since it will most likely be justified as being on another timeline. Plus if we can have Vale, Darnassus, Arathi and so on under Zimdormi and togglable, why not this event?
“Because the world, lore, MMO game design, the limited time, the–” 
Why not this event can’t be in Zimdormi even though you don’t have a problem with the others i just listed being under there if your gonna use those arguments?
I’l say this again like i said to the other guy yesterday, if your position is to defend something in a video game, why undermine that position and event by saying “it’s a video game?” since the same exact non-argument can be used against you?
It’s a video game, so why agrue against the people at all? just chill. /s
It honestly kinda baffles me on why PvPers don’t want the zombie event on Warmode. I mean don’t you think that would be a nice little addition? A zombie mode where you get to control a zombie and kill humans and such. To add more chaos and danger into something that’s already chaotic and dangerous?
It’s almost like nobody should use that “if you don’t like it, go to another game” non-argument, because it’s dumb. 
Oh, i thought you understand that non-agrument is stupid in general. But i guess to you, it’s only silly when somebody else uses that, but when you say it… 
I get your trying to make forced sound like it’s a bad thing, but did you really need to insert that word? doesn’t just undermine your point if your putting that word in there nilly willy? It’s the same sort of problem i have with the pro-eventers using “objectively” for their opinions. Except the word you’ve chosen is even worse. 
To be fair, nobody should be forced into anything. It is pretty silly for PvPers to PvE to get the best gear in other to compete when it should be from PvP. And i think the lack of appropriate rewards from PvP is probably why they think their forced to PvE.
Yes, WoW is a PvE game first, but PvP has it’s place too.
How’s the zombie invasion different exactly? It’s just the ones from Wrath and a bit of Legion’s dark whispers. Theirs really nothing new about this event, other then you can opt out of it.
Can you specify which forced PvE content grind are you talking about?
Mind telling us the events from other MMOS that used to deter bots then?
How does a choice takes away from that? If you still feel impactful from other modes like raiding and such in the game even though their optional, what makes this one any different?
She was talking about the event. The event is not the game.
…That’s not what people’s issue are. That’s just being disingenious.
You should also remind Rooted that Fun is Subjective and everybody else has different ideas of fun. If somebody wants to pick turnips all day and if they find it fun and don’t find the zombie event fun, that’s their not problem or that’s not them lacking fun. Nobody is being a party pooper because they choose to not be a part of the event.
Well i’m glad you found something you enjoy.
But i’l say it again. Just because somebody doesn’t partcipiate in your event, doesn’t mean their a party pooper. Do raiders call PvPers party poopers because PvPers chosed not to raid?.. No.
How is it gonna stop Blizzard from doing anything creative anyways? Do you actually believe that those people who complained about it, wanted the event to be nerfed? They wanted to opt out of it and they didn’t know Blizzard was gonna nerf the event as well.
People has the right criticize whatever they want too, even if it’s small.
Fun is subjective.
And that’s still there.
You know, maybe it’s just me, but for somebody who named their character “Ion”, i was kinda expecting you know that Blizzard is just doing this for money, and you saying " i want these people to leave" is probally the reason why Blizzard wouldn’t take up on your guy’s suggestion there.
I mean really any PC game is a mobile game, because of steamlink. Yet i don’t see you going around doing the same to other games. So why do it at all with WoW? It just seems inconsistant.
To be honest, it would be a bit too predictable. It would make going to Icecrown a fun little game of “Floor is lava” and make hunting rares engaging a bit, but i don’t think that’s what Blizzard had in mind.
…You know for as much people try to argue for the event with story and lore… how long is it exactly we had the scourge invading cities and such in lore? And i don’t mean the pre-patch invasion from wrath, but how long do we have the scourge exist in general? I mean, do you not expect people from all over azeroth like the argent crusade and such to band together in a crisis and give out heals and such to people who had such infections? Heck i would imagine they exist solely to keep an eye on the Death Knights, akin to how Wardens keep an eye on the Demon Hunters as well. This isn’t something like the old Warcraft games where nobody ever expected this to happen and their wasn’t a cure for it yet due to being unprepared for it. We are well past that point.
…Why not just put them in another phase?
Ideally it should go both ways.
Well when you put it like that, i wonder why people want to opt out and back into the normal gameplay then and why they reject the suggestion of “if you want to opt out, stay out of SW/ORG” even though you might need to go though SW/ORG to get to other expansions and cities to begin with and travel to and fro from them. Let me contemplate under the tree of “whoa” using my think meat. /s 
…Because they don’t want to be a zombie and just want to go on their marry way. Just because people choose to stop being a zombie, doesn’t mean your fun is impeded.
Well that’s the answer you don’t want because if people are choosing to log out because of this event, doesn’t that tell blizzard the event is making people log out?
…How exactly?
Wishing for people to put aside their own stuff just to focus on something you wanted them to do is pretty selfish, don’t you think?
In your own subjective opinion. People have different ideas of what fun is. Like i said over and over at this point.
Well that’s your subjective opinion.
Something that sounds boring to you, might sound exicitng to somebody else and vice versa.
The idea of being a monster and kill the same faction has been done before. Whether though ghouls, demons, pre-patch or otherwise.
Kind of a silly thought because those mobs aren’t controlled by a player. The Ghouls in the zombie mode are both controllable and NPCs. An NPC doesn’t have the same complex decision making and such as a player does.
The story also has infinite universes, thanks to WoD and Bronze dragons.
How, is the ghoul event, new??..
its honestly harder to find the zombies than it is to avoid them. i wish there were more
Sad that once in a blue moon something new and interesting happens in game and people cry about it.
I think it’s spread to few other major places, but not out in the wilds where most people go to quest.
Also, you don’t stay flagged once you leave the major cities.
Your own side also doesn’t attack you unless you become a Zombie, which you can cure and not have happen at all.
No one is being forced to run out and PVP the other faction, or even your own faction, considering you can get cured. Getting flagged green in your capital is not a problem, because other greens are not going to attack you.
I hate PVP, it makes me a nervous wreck. This event is not like that at all. You are not even yourself when you are attacking people, you are just playing a zombie that they can kill. Or, if you are killing the zombies, you are just freeing the players up so they they can start the fun all over again.
Okay, right.
Yeah this isn’t a big deal at all. If people are so frustrated over this, they can use auction houses in other cities or ask a friend to pop open their brutosaur…
As of yesterday a whole mess of them were located at the back entrance to Org, the valley of honor.
Actually, you pay them to play the game they decide to roll out, which atm has scourge killing everyone. Coping skills yo.
