Sapping the Overlord

Still, it’s a form of discouraging said activity. It might be an ineffective form of disincentive, but it does show what the devs’ intent on the subject is.

Why is wbuff resetting an issue, exactly?

u are griefing ur own faction by pushing the cd. it’s also cross faction collusion which has no place in this game, especially not on pvp realms

Hey if you Hordies don’t want us Alliance getting WCB why do you keep mind controlling us when it drops?

How is it griefing? If anything, being able to MC the NPC in order to reset the buff is a way to get around other griefers who try to make the buff pop early to screw over their own faction.

only on PvP servers. There’s nothing against cross faction collusion on PvE servers. Heck, the game allows you to roll characters of either faction on PvE servers, even on the same account. You could literally roll a Priest of the opposite faction on your own and do the MCing on your own accord

So, when you take advantage of the gamedesign = not an issue. When you have to deal with the gamedesign and loose few seconds = huge issue ?

Cross faction collaboration to get a WB earlier is somehow against the rule.

Frankly, I find wbuffs a terrible mechanic for various reasons, but I’d rather not make getting them any more of a chore (and any more prone to grief) than it already is.

Which rule, exactly? I don’t remember any such rule - not for PvE servers, at least.

What upset me the most is that everytime players can benefit for a flaws in the gamedesign = it’s fine
The gamedesign or a fix make something a bit harder or the game more challenging = Q.Q

The “issue” in Classic is : the game is already a joke in terms of difficulty why is everyone in favor of things making it way more easier than it already is

I haven’t the courage to find this rule but i’m pretty sure that cross faction agreement to exploit a flaw in the gamedesign isn’t something allowed.
Typically : devilsaur mafia

Challenging and tedious are different concepts. If devs came here and removed wbuffs from the game completely, I’d 100% be in favor of it.

That’s a PvP-server only thing.

You are missing the point.
I am asking for BOTH FACTIONS NPCs not just horde or just ally but BOTH to be immune to any cc while they are popping the buff.
If a rogue appears and kills me immediately after, its fine, im in a pvp server, ill rage but keep that for myself and my guildies at worst.
If a priest dispells me, fine, let him have his 3 seconds of enjoyment until he returns to his miserable existance, im in a pvp server.

Besides, these buffs are non dispellable. You are preventing an ENTIRE SERVER ( more or less) from gaining one of these crucial World buff that , want it or not, you gotta get to be competitive in this game ( pve wise)

Wb have little impact on pvp, because once you die, they are gone. And death in pvp is a common thing. All im asking is to make sure they can drop it. Afterwards , its player responsability to keep them till raid and IN the raid for as long as possible.

This game has become a staging ground for endless griefing in every possible way shape or form, and this particular thing affects pve servers aswell, wich obviously are against world pvp .

So far I know this started thanks to horde side doing it.
Anyway as long as it is it’s normal wpvp. Scatter around and expose the stealthers, be ready to Death Coil the ressing one. Problem solved. Said this from Ally side…

Bump, this bs is still taking place

so what exactly is happeing, i heard locks can death coil the npc also. do you death coil at the exact moment buff drops or what

I’m all for stopping the world buffs if you can. If your faction can’t protect the NPC then tough doo-doo’s. It’s a faction war - deal with it!

Our pleas have been answered, the buff can no longer be stopped. Now the npc must be killed, an impossible feature for lone rogues .Congratz to blizzard for putting a stop to the griefing !

All that PvP is amounts to greifing.

People who come here to say this and that is defined as “griefing” are most likely little babies who should go back into their safe space.

Did they fix the mind control abuse too ?

Source, please? It’d be great news if confirmed

EDIT: Nvm found, that’s awesome^^

Looks like Blizzard disagrees with you guys (again)^^ Please have fun on your PvP servers.

Blizzard will only fix things that make the game “harder” but will do nothing on exploit that are convenient to the players.

It’s a bit sad (for me) but it’s the reality.
