MMORPG players are considered cold, but strangers save fools from final death

earthpressnews

WoW players are usually considered heartless and cold. But WoW Hardcore seems to be awakening a new side: players show something like “compassion” and help each other, even someone who actually deserves to die because they were so careless.

This is the situation:

  • In WoW Classic Hardcore, each player only has one life. Anyone who dies is dead and has to create a new character.
  • This means that some of Blizzard’s tricks in World of Warcraft that are normally hardly noticed are suddenly important: such as monsters that are much stronger than the area in which they appear.
  • Through this mechanism, legendary enemies from before suddenly become exciting again.

    Player goes afk in a “safe” city – Big mistake

    That was one player’s problem: A player named Loogie went afk in the middle of a village, Darkshire, in WoW Hardcore. He probably felt safe there.

    But what he didn’t know or had already forgotten: In WoW there is a mob called “Little Ones” (Stitches). The monster spawns when players complete a certain quest and runs towards Darkshire to kill anyone who stands in its way.

    Because Kleiner is a level 35 elite mob, he can do a lot of damage in the region. He tramples the Darkshire guards like Godzilla tramples Tokyo.

    Normally, before Kleiner appears in Darkshire, he is eliminated by a higher level player, but WoW Hardcore has few such players, so Stitches set out to wreak havoc on the town of Darkshire.

    The player Loogie would almost certainly have died in the middle of Darkshire and lost his character.

    Kleiner (Stitches) is a famous mob in Blizzard’s games: He also exists as a playable hero in Heroes of the Storm, as a card in Hearthstone and as a “Pudge” even in Valve’s DOTA 2. He is an abomination (abomination) and was as These are also present in Warcraft 3 – many know its cousin, “Patchwork”, from Naxxramas.

    What happened instead? As one player on reddit explains, foreign players had discovered Loogie and predicted his impending end. They teamed up and risked their own lives to kill Kleiner and save Loogie.

    They told Loogie about their heroic deed in a letter. It is said that higher level players were even called in to save the AFK player.

    WoW Hardcore brings foreign players together

    Why is this so special? Normally, WoW players only care about their own friends and guild members. Everyone else, “so-called randoms,” doesn’t actually matter and hardly deserves observation. He is seen as a rival in the fight for loot and mobs.

    The fact that people in WoW Hardcore now help a stranger, even someone who has obviously messed up, is a rarity and receives a lot of praise in the Reddit forum:

  • One says: “We did everything for Loogie and he survived. He logged out a minute or two after that.”
  • Another says: “I was there. He withstood all my spells, but hell, I fought for Loogie and risked my only life.”
  • A third user said: “Hardcore WoW has slowly started to restore my faith in humanity.”

    • Another Reddit user simply sighs, “That’s so cute.”

    This player was less lucky. He had friends, but also bad luck:
