Skeletons disappear

Post by Rejected »

So I just joined this server and it seems like a lot of fun and I was pumped to start playing and I joined a BG and my heart sank when I saw the skeletons dont appear when you resurrect. I love seeing all the bones after a good BG scattered throughout the battlefield and passing by some and going "hey dats me!" or "hey i killed dat guy" and instead its just an empty battlefield. I really think you should add them back into the game. I mean it's 2017 I'm sure peoples PC's can handle some skeletons on the screen. And if it causes server lag, they don't need to stay forever, just like an hour or 2. I mean I would love to see them stay as long as they did back then but beggars can be choosers. So I really hope you consider to add them back and have them stay just about as long as a good BG.

Definitely didn't think I would see this suggestion after all of these years, haha.

Yes, they're disabled. I think a lot of the reason was preventing them from causing a mess in some areas that had TONS of deaths, such as Hyjal and Azshara Crater back when they were actively played. I could consider re-adding them maybe...

If you could that'd be amazing. I love seeing all the skeletons everywhere. This may be slightly dumb but a big reason I don't play live anymore is because they limited the amount of skeletons per person to 1, lmao. It's not the main reason but one of the big ones. But yeah if you decide to re enable them I can definitely see myself playing here a lot more.

I wouldn't mind it at all as long as it doesn't really affect server performance then it would be cool to see after a hour long wsg match of epicness how many people were actually being slain.

This has been turned on in BGs/Arena now. I will consider adding it to the world, too.

Edit: This actually looks really nice in BGs. I can't believe we've had them turned off for like 8 years... definitely looks cool in BGs. Thanks for the suggestion -- I'm glad someone pointed out bringing them back.
