Yes what you see is actually true. Blizzard is giving players the options to send out Scrolls of Resurrection to players on their friends list. I am not sure if there is a limit also I am not sure if this is going to be Real ID friends only since it does require an email address or if it is any friend and Blizzard will take care of the rest. Either way I think this is a great idea on Blizzard's part. Why you ask? Well if you get one of these from Blizzard it is like them saying "Come back you will like all this new content and we would love you to subscribe again", while if a friend were to send you this it is more like "There is a lot of great stuff going on in WoW right now you should really come and play with all of us again". You are more likely to use it if it is not from Blizzard and from a friend from inside the game. Overall I think this is a great idea and Blizzard once again is thinking of the community as a whole.
Honestly I dont know why this wasn't done in the first place. People who leave WoW and come back do so to play with friends most of the time. So knowing there are friends that will be with you to play with when you come back is the most important thing.
ReplyDeleteYou've been able to send friends scrolls of ressurection through the battle.net website and the old worldofwarcraft.com site since it came out. You probably shouldn't post about shit you don't know shit about.
ReplyDeleteYou've been able to send a scroll of resurrection to friends through battle.net (and warcraft's account site before that) for a long, long time.
ReplyDeleteThe only difference now is that you can do it through your in-game friend's list.
I believe Gauss was stating that you can now send it through in game friend lists which has never been able to be done before, which is new
ReplyDeleteAlso being an in game option makes it directly effect those playing the game rather than going to website no matter what website it is. If you read the post you would understand what he was saying instead of posting the same thing twice and trying to make yourself look smart
ReplyDeleteTime to troll the troll!
ReplyDeleteSo if you already know everything then I could careless what you have to say. You may have known they were putting in this new feature into the game. Many people didn't hence the reason to talk about it. Also normally while saying a feature is good is to state why it is better than an existing feature that being the Blizzard emails. Next time whenever you want to be taken seriously try not picking a name and a link that makes you have less intellect then Bagellord
I did happen to know that they added this feature on the ptr before you posted this, also there is no need to act like a 4 year old when someone tells you how dumb you are.
ReplyDeleteCongrats? You knew they post it on the PTR. I don't think Gauss has ever tried to be a source of news it is opinion, which is what this is. I fail to see how he is dumb. His point is true it being on the friends list is much better than the way it is now. Again much better than Blizzard emails that everyone thinks are all about the money. The exact point Gauss was talking about.
ReplyDeleteAlso obviously if you are coming back here and reading over and over again. You must be proud of yourself and your ability to be a fail troll, which is why being called Bagellord is awesome in so many ways for the regulars. Thank you Gauss for making my day.
Gauss: Before "trolling the trolls," who are in fact people trying to inform you, read what he wroteThis is not a new feature, only the game integration is new. You didn't mention the battle.net scrolls, and seemed surprised players could send them to each other at all, so either you didn't know and are now attacking the people informing you, or you did know and suck at writing. Either way, useless blog, leaving forever.

ReplyDeleteYou must be new here. Gauss knows he is a bad writer he is a mathematician. If you want to read a blog where the author is a good writer go find one. The whole point of the post was the in game feature and he was using Blizzard sending the scrolls vs players doing so as his example. Gauss gets nothing from you reading his blog, he has no ads no nothing, he does this because he knows people enjoy what he writes if you don't I really think he could give a crap since there are countless others which do.
Also I find it funny that people come here and are all over for something he didn't even say and yet WoW Insider linked to this post. So if they think it is worth reading well then...
Interesting, I didn't know this.
ReplyDeleteI agree, I think it's a smart move.

Also, about the trolls. They (although I'm convinced it's the same person, changing name). They're obviously very sensitive about anyone knowing what they already do, because they knew it first of course...
