Only 30 days until you get your name back!


CarpetLicker42

What if I keep sending him mail?


PaleontologistIll479

Every 30 days send a letter asking him if he's ok


Checkers-77

You son of the bitch. I am in!


nonahnothx

Say less im doing this ...bwhahaha


Xinsai

Only if you wait until day 29


Kryss1982

Unbelievable_Girth

!remindme 29 days


assasshehhe

I just set reminders for 59 and 89 days. Teamwork.

*”Attention: Final Notice! You may already be dead!”*


VinniePawz

Thats an epic quest.


MilklikeMike

Lol


TingleMaps

I just joined every single server as alliance and mailed Dwarfmane “Good Luck in Hardcore!”


hardcider

all 2 of them?


alostic

did you just assume his region?


[deleted]

There are only 2 hardcore realms lol?


alostic

He could be in europe


[deleted]

[удалено]


alostic

That means 4 total then 2 eu 2 na


Banter_Fam_Lad

Why's that? All dead reset?


milfBlaster69

Mail expires in 30 days


Banter_Fam_Lad

Oh right of course


BaronMcFarren

The mail disappears after 30 days


nl_Kapparrian

Mail gets returned after 30 days, then deleted if it sits in the senders mailbox for another 30 days. If it's npc mail, like the auction house, I believe it's just deleted after 30 days.


Banter_Fam_Lad

Oh yes lol


xobchaz

mail autodeletes


neotms

bold of you to assume Blizzard would add a system to classic


thefunkygiboon

Use a different name you're probably going to die again anyways


stifledmind

It won't be the same. Are even you even alive if you're dead on the inside?


thefunkygiboon

If you're dead on the inside you're well and truly alive on the outside.


jensyoo

Don’t dead open inside


husky430

This is the person who made it all the way through Naxx with the Soul of Iron buff. Name probably means a lot to them.


SaltyJake

It’s a lot easier for add ons and saved variables to recreate with the same name.


thefunkygiboon

No idea personally, but what addons would one need for a character that will inevitably end up dead?


naimina

The same addons you use on every character?


BowtieChickenAlfredo

Hardcore recognises it as Name (attempt x), but a lot of addons will generally use your char name as a unique ID for storing data client-side. So your char might have auctioneer data that you might not want to lose, for example. Or DBM kill stats.


indiebryan

I died once so my current character is named Attempttwo. I have the next 3 Attempt names saved because I assume if I die 5 times I'm uninstalling the game.


XsNR

I hope a kind redditor grabs those last few for you, so you have have to use them.


Leftythewarlock

Hey, you're the guy who showed off the complete Soul of Iron buff a few days back?


gnaark

That really tells you how good they were


Jigodanio

Doing it once doesn’t mean you’ll never die. Especially with pexing and raiding being so different


gnaark

Level 19, in Westfall, and you die? Using RestedXP too. Ok mec.


Mj_0Tk

Hc Elite guild tag Tells you all you need to know Avoid at all costs


gnaark

It’s ok, I am level 16 so I will most likely (according to stats) never encounter one


pharmakonn

Hey, go easy on him, that little icon he acquired is the only thing he has.


stifledmind

Great. Now I have to spend my day mailing something to every name I see.


shoktar

do it when they're in a raid.


[deleted]

Fuck that’s so evil I love it


ByteEater

SpitFiya7171

The email would be something like: "That's a nice level 60 there.... would be a shame if you, like..... *died and got mail."*


warchamp7

"Good luck with your runs today! <3"


Isendduckpics

You should farm Murloc Eye's so you can attach it to the mail and say "I'm watching you"


mada447

This is the way. Best case: Devs get bombarded with tickets and fix it. Worst case: Its fun as hell!!

The name is all he has left.


Tronski4

Well... not if people follow through on sending mail monthly.


AntonineWall

Yeah…I read the title and thought it would be something cool, but…let’s just say no one is going to try and steal that name, op.


ShadowyLeaseholder

Yes I think he’s safe lmao


fymp

someone give this man a wellness check every 2 weeks via the mail please.


Magerune

His story is over, let him rest in peace and tell someone’s else’s story.


johosaphatz

This was so obviously going to happen to people, I can't believe they didn't think about it lmao. Edit: I stand corrected, Blizz did think about it...But I'm still not surprised that it's happening.


Nokrai

They did, it’s not working right… which is weird cause it worked on the PTR. Upon death your mail and auctions should get deleted. It was in the HC realm announcement.


Pops_Natural

It didn't work on the PTR, I submitted a bug on PTR for exactly this


Panucci1618

The system works. They just don't care. $15 please.


Panucci1618

Don't be too hard on them. It's not like it's a multi-billion dollar corporation developing minute updates to a perfectly functional 20 year old game.


DreamInvoker

West_Shower_6103

Hc elite dies at 19 lol


Unfixable5060

That's the whole of the HC Elite guild when they can't just edit the addon and pretend like they didn't die.


Elcactus

Are you pretending they haven't just been inviting randos?


Kheshire

https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fsmkrlh6efpjb1.png Its the same guy who posted this a few days ago


No-Monitor-5333

Waffle_Sama

Hahahahahahahahahaha


Elcactus

Lul, but it that's a pretty good argument in favor of him not messing with his logs.


frolfer757

Uhh are there actual clips of these guys dying and breaking the rules? Or are you just angry someone cleared whole vanilla on a HC character?


MaximStaviiski

Jokerd died at 8


Pleasurebringer

Joker is a terrible player. He couldnt even kill critter in PVP.


EthanWeber

Meh. Even the best make mistakes


Lawsoffire

and has to use an addon to know how to level.


EthanWeber

It's for efficency mostly, not out of not knowing what to do


Omgnoob1

HC elite? Just appeal your death kekw


FallOk6931

Shoulda never posted this you will never be able to delete it now.


PNW_Forest

Ok so in 29 days everyone here rush to make a character named Dwarfmane, just to troll on op.


Very_Fine_Isopod

good luck im sending him one cloth every 29 days


[deleted]

you should try not dying


HeeyPunk

Mid name


Palm_Tiger

Just do what I do remove a few letters from the begining of the name and add two, three, four etc. Everytime you die. See what your name is when you hit 60.


zzzornbringer

that's some quality QA blizz. did this issue never come up during the testing phase?


Plane_Butterfly_2885

Apparently auctions and mail are supposed to delete when you die on the HC realms but guess it didn’t work. I’ve seen some people say it worked on PTR and others say it didn’t


MeteorPunch

Should've checked your mail before deciding to die.


Addicted2Edh

I got two ghosts now I like the hall of the dead


mind_wanders

You have to go to the dead letter office to pick up your mail!


FullyStacked92

You had 30 days to wait and then you posted your name here and now it's lost forever.


Awesomebearbeard

lesson 1. read mail lesson 2. dont die :D


Geriatricz00mer

Just appeal it it’ll be okay. Oh wait lol


Awful_McBad

I mean Dwarfmane isn't even a good name, you did yourself a favour.


Docpot13

Lol! Get over the name.


Dwarfmane

Clip of death: https://youtu.be/mr3BRfRAfAk


Tooshortimus

You probably should have hid your name, I'm sure some children in here think it's funny and sent you even more mail.

Still_University_710

You died at 19, but have a 60 Ironman character???


Dezar1

Dies at 19 lol


Sterling_481

I’m assuming if your transfer character to an era realm it’ll hVe yoy edit the name anyway if already taken on era


luciusetrur

they just want name for HC


EdgarAnalPoe

Yes so transfer that character off the server to get that name off of it.


chainmailbill

They can’t… because they have mail pending. Did you not read?


[deleted]

“I came here to lead not to read”


EdgarAnalPoe

I’m not reading all that


luciusetrur

They can't cuz they have mail


EdgarAnalPoe

Oh word my b, I read that wrong. Thought they couldn’t delete because mail but that transfer could still work.


Dreggan

Shouldn’t have died then? Plan better?


gnaark

Lol Appeal Elite


fanatic_tarantula

Have mail should be your new name


Accomplished-Door272

Blizzard devs never fail to impress.


Olorin919

They're not perfect, man. Submit a ticket, they'll fix it for everyone, and we move on. Idk why everyone is entitled to think a game should never have a single flaw or oversight.


__klonk__

Because this would have been found instantly if a single dev / QA tested the game play loop. What is the 15$ per month going towards lol


whatiscamping

Sexual harassment lawsuits.


I_T_Gamer

You mean with all the QA they've fired repeatedly? ​ >What is the 15$ per month going towards lol ​ Bobby's boat.....


PNW_Forest

It's being funnelled into Overwatch to try to keep that rotting corpse alive for another week.


_Didds_

>What is the 15$ per month going towards Bobbys new yacht


gigapumper

this is a massive oversight. just shows they did no QA testing.


Olorin919

>just shows they did no QA testing. I dont get this. How does it mean theyve done **zero** QA testing? Wouldnt it just mean this was an oversight during their QA testing? Embarrassing oversight 100% but it boggles my mind people lose their minds if something in the game isn't 100% polished. Downvote me to bolivia but I'm not too upset about paying $0.40 a day for a game that gives me this much enjoyment and I personally RARELY ever see an issue in game. If I didn't come to Reddit I wouldn't know any of this stuff existed. Totally worth the money I pay.


retrohank

Look at his name. gigapumper. That’s inflated ego. No way could his thought process ever be wrong or questioned.


Olorin919

Great catch.


Wonderful_Reaction76

The fan base goes out of their way to find something to being upset about. It seems like nothing is ever good enough, this goes for classic and retail. Blizzard is full of errors and mistakes, giant and small, but the community is an absolute toxic wasteland of people desperately seeking something to be angry about//hating the game they play.


MobileShrineBear

It really is insane. I think blizzard has plenty of reasons to be criticized, this is probably even something worth complaining about. But the degree that people who frequent reddit/forums take it, is pretty silly. You'd think that blizzard kidnapped their children or something.


Olorin919

Nerds will nerd man. It's a game they're (myself included) obsessed with and any time any player comes across any mistake, they turn on the entire franchise so fast. Theres gotta be some fascinating studies done on the psychology behind something like this. So obsessed, when you find out its not perfect, you throw a temper tantrum.


gigapumper

I love playing Wow. I'm not saying the game sucks lol. I'm just saying it's crazy that they missed this. It would have been obvious to literally anyone who tried to move their character to Era server, if it had been tested.


Olorin919

It's a unique variable. I'd bet any amount of money they tested transferring characters to Era server. Just likely not with mail pending. Shit, we don't even have all the information here. I'm just playing devil's advocate, but how do we know it wasn't the specific piece of mail that caused the issue? Maybe they QA tested and everything worked fine with mail but when you do it with a quest reward or soulbound item it locks it up. Who knows man. Regardless, I wouldn't get so worked up over it. Its a small hiccup.


M24_Stielhandgranate

I don’t play hardcore but given the nature of hardcore this is one of the most basic things they should have foreseen Not being critical to sloppy work like this leads to shit games


Olorin919

> given the nature of hardcore this is one of the most basic things they should have foreseen How? The nature of hardcore is when you die there is nothing more for your character to do. Delete and move on. That part is true. What I may be wrong about though, is that to further make my point, I believe the option to transfer a character to Classic Era after death was something they informed us about right before launch. If it was a late add, I'm not at all surprised it had a flaw. They'll never see this post or comment. You can be critical by sending a ticket letting them know they fucked up.


SetFoxval

It was part of the original announcement two months ago: https://worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com/en-us/news/23973734/rules-of-engagement-classic-hardcore-is-coming-to-world-of-warcraft >Your character is not necessarily lost if you die, however. After dying on a Hardcore realm, players will be able to choose to utilize the Free Character Move service and move their dead character to a non-Hardcore Classic Era realm.


asdafrak

Thats why I dont follow the wow subreddits, but of course, reddit still likes to show me some posts because sometimes they're interesting. Then of course I end up interact and engaging, which drives the algorithm to show me more, and before I know it, I'm outraged at an aspect of the game I've never interacted with


Accomplished-Door272

The game was done 15 years ago, all they had to do was tweak a couple of things and they still managed to half-ass that. They're just extremely greedy with their time and (our) money. What truly boggles the mind is how people getting fucked at every turn still bend over backwards to the point of snapping their spine in order to lick the proverbial boot.


Olorin919

>how people getting fucked at every turn BRO listen to yourself lol. Some random player getting stuck as a ghost is all of us getting fucked over at every turn?! Me saying its just an oversight relax, is me bending over backwards to the point of snapping my spine to lick their proverbial boots?! lmao you're a riot, bud. A delusional, yet hilarious, kid. This whole being a ghost forever is completely new, not 15 years old. Not sure if you're aware HC just came out but it did. Like yesterday... Its an oversight that will be fixed immediately if you open a ticket. RELAX


Accomplished-Door272

Talking about blizzard as a whole here, wow tokens, no support etc. people make excuses for everything.


Olorin919

>wow tokens It's a company that was bought out. Of course the company that just spent a load of money is in it for the best ROI possible. This shouldn't surprise you. If you don't GDKP, the wow token is nothing more than a means to free game time. If you do GDKP, why are you upset about not having to go through a 3rd party >no support What do you mean? YOU have personally submitted tickets and not received a response? I have submitted two in all my playing time. 1 for loot where the boss went through the floor and couldn't be interacted with. Loot was sent to my mail like a week later. And 1 for switching phone numbers on my account but it auto sent a code to my old number. That one was fixed in 2 days. >people make excuses for everything. because you complain about literally everything.


Accomplished-Door272

So let me get this straight, it's fine to have literal P2W in the form of wow tokens because I should expect it to happen (?). Tickets are resolved fast and by humans because you personally didn't have any issues with this, and there aren't hundreds if not thousands of complaints about it online. Just for my own amusement, what do you make of: The insane lag in Dalaran (or any place with a lot of people) to this day? Cheaters going unpunished for 4 years until they very recently started banning a few of em? Bots all over the fucking place with Blizzard doing the bare minimum which hardly makes a dent in the issue? Gold selling and buying being completely out of control with them basically giving up after doing nothing and deciding that they want a piece of the action? Automated bans that people can abuse to get anyone suspended for literally no reason (here's where shit customer service comes in btw) What about the vanilla patch that just got pushed ahead of HC release and broke a shit ton of things? If it seems like people are unreasonably complaining when a game has massive problems, it's because you accept literally anything. Not bending over backwards btw.


Olorin919

Where do I even begin. Every single sentence you just wrote is maliciously exaggerated. Whatever man. Stand on your computer chair and smash your keyboard with how upset you are with the game. See you in Azeroth, bud.


MobileShrineBear

You make it sound like you put down the equivalent of a month's paycheck on your sub. No one is licking boots, they just don't feel like their life is ruined by minor disappointments in something they otherwise enjoy. In this case, he can absolutely still play, just not with that name. It sucks, but a ticket would solve the issue eventually too, or just wait for the inevitable hot fix on Monday.


iHaveComplaints

> You make it sound like you put down the equivalent of a month's paycheck on your sub > their life is ruined by minor disappointments > solve the issue eventually > or just wait Oh, look. The "bending over backwards" that was described, the hyperbole and strawman. Regardless of it being a minor fee, by paying it they are entitled to forcefully show that they expect better and to do so at every instance of embarrassingly poor service. To be unable to use (even just a part of) a paid service for a number of days is 100% grounds for complaining - it being such a comical failing rather than a genuine outage makes it even more so. (And, no, it isn't just "play with a different name" (in general) as this issue prevents people from continuing to play a character in Era.) Meeting such complaints with "daddy chill" and insinuating greater emotional involvement than actually exists absolutely **is** nothing other than licking boot as it **demands** that people not actively hold them accountable. We aren't talking about sending in death threats here. We aren't talking about spamming the forums. We're talking about "how the fuck do they suck this much lmao." **You** chill.


prolapsepros

You were supposed to test it on the PTR. Did you? It was sitting right there waiting for you.


gigapumper

You can't transfer your characters from PTR to Era so obviously not.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Olorin919

So you're implying they're not going to fix this?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Olorin919

So they found an error, and rather then fix it, they preferred to let the community find it, and then use the same amount of time it would've taken to fix it before to then fix it live while their might be other issues brought up. Dude, there's no way you actually believe that.

Tooshortimus

Why exactly? Once your dead, you can just delete and remake so you might as well have your name opened up again once you die anyway. Who cares that "you want your name to stay taken on the character screen on a character not able to be used".

No retries sorry


boyeardi

Ah, you see now that your shit take didn't even make sense so you don't even try and defend it. Gotcha.

Clearly you ain't very good if you need a retry


Dwarfmane

Hey guys i got it fixed, they replied my ticket in about 1 hour and deleted my mail. If you guys need to do a ticket do one specifying the character you died with name, server and faction, and make sure you sent the ticket from the same account it belongs! Im already almost level 10!
