Golf is apparently also a topic in WoW Classic HC. Because a streamer has lost his character as a result – and a nasty dragon is happy.
There are many ways to die a quick death in World of Warcraft. But most of them are meaningless – at least in direct comparison to WoW Classic Hardcore. Because death is permanent and each character only has one life. But this also means that a death can be particularly frustrating, as days and weeks of playing time can sometimes be lost.
But it’s all the more entertaining when streamers record their deaths live – as in the example of “Guzu”, which died in a particularly amusing way several times.
What happened? The streamer Gugu was currently leveling his orc warrior “Guzu” and was traveling in the Sunken Temple. It’s actually quite a relaxed dungeon – most of the enemies are lower in level. That’s why he spoke to his viewers quite casually. He ignored the boss fight against the dragon “Weaver” for a brief moment in order to show a viewer his mouse pad and hold it up to the camera.
But when he looked at the screen again, it was already too late: Weaver had used his knockback ability to push back the orc, which flew across the hall – and precisely into the only hole in the middle of the room. With presence of mind, Gugu tries to open his backpack to drink a Noggenfogger Elixir, which might grant him “Slow Fall” – but that doesn’t happen.
At level 52, the orc struck and died instantly. Weaver holed it perfectly.
Was that his first death? No. Even before the launch of the official hardcore servers, Guzu was part of the hardcore community and tried out the unofficial challenge. Here too he lost his character in a rather “stupid” way. He accidentally clicked on a demonic rune – bringing his warlock from 40% remaining health to 0%.
A typical case of “fat fingered”.
How does the community react: She takes the whole thing with a lot of humor and also teases a little. Shortly after Gugu began his next character – a warrior of the undead – an orc rides up to him and explains that he has “found a cloak that he would like to give to him”.
Gugu accepts the deal and then exhales heavily – because it’s a Parachute Cloak of Engineering. This could have prevented his death when he fell into the hole.
Whoever has the damage doesn’t have to worry about the ridicule.
