World of Warcraft Forever\u2019s beta marches on, and all evidence points to it being a massive success ahead of the official release date next month. But it\u2019s worth remembering this is a beta, and a beta is for players testing the game’s boundaries and developer Blizzard reacting when those boundaries are broken.<\/p>\n
Enter one of the best World of Warcraft griefing tactics I\u2019ve seen in Forever so far.<\/p>\n
Player jamesja12 took to the WoW Forever subreddit to post a screenshot of their death. That would be nothing worth writing home about under normal circumstances \u2014 you die all the time in World of Warcraft. But this was a screenshot of their character after they had died during the intro cinematic, because one cheeky player had placed a campfire exactly where new players spawn.<\/p>\n

For the uninitiated, when you create a character in World of Warcraft \u2014 and World of Warcraft Forever \u2014 you get a snazzy intro cinematic that sets up the part of the world you start in, as well as your role within it. The camera does a fly-by of the local area before resting behind your freshly spawned character, ready to set out adventuring.<\/p>\n
In WoW Forever you can craft and place campfires, which are \u2014 normally \u2014 all about helping other players out. Sit next to a campfire and you\u2019ll receive a useful buff and maybe strike up a conversation with another player doing the same. Campfires are really cool social tools, as well as great buffing machines. I like campfires!<\/p>\n
But they also cause a little damage because, well, they\u2019re fire. If you run through a campfire, for example, you\u2019ll take damage, as most WoW players will know well. Pop a campfire down where new characters spawn and they\u2019ll strip that low HP away pretty quickly.<\/p>\n
