No Loot from Icecrown Rares if You're Turned Into a Zombie

Recommended Posts

54025-death-rising-week-2-now-live.jpg
 

We have a bit of a public service announcement today for those of you farming the rares, especially after the recent increase in their spawn frequency. As the Scourge invasion event arrived this week, many players are spreading it all over the place, and some are going to Icecrown while zombified and infecting others.

This all sounds fine, all in good fun, but unfortunately, if you're turned into a zombie during your fight with a rare, you will not get the loot from it at all. You won't be able to loot the body even after you die and rez up, and it won 't arrive in your mail either:

Apparently something similar happens with Nathanos as well, but since his loot is tied to the world quest, it just means you'll have to re-kill him.

So to all if you still bagless and possibly blue protodrake-less, it's time to enable zombie apocalypse protocols and be very careful if there are some of the infected undead around!

I was going to try this but every time I take a portal it clears the infection. Also, you have to port as infected but before you go full zomb. Zombies can't use ports.

Do you know if this is affected if you have been turned into a zombie in any zone cause I wasn’t turned at all in icecrown but was in the barrens and when farming 5+ rares in icecrown shortly after received no loot from any of them ??

I've had zero issues with loot drops after playing around as a zombie. In fact, after my initial attempt to infect Icecrown rare groups went bust, I just joined in on the next boss and got my usual 20-30 stones.

I got hit in the Blightcaller fight. I just ran off to one of the hills to stay near but out of the raid. I got noticed and killed by other players, but hung around after I died, and got credit/loot for the boss kill/world quest. I guess the other players did me a favor.

Generally if I get infected I'm just running off alone and exploding myself. I really don't want to be part of the event... I especially don't want to be flagged for PvP. Not really happy having it forced on me. At least it's only for a week.

The guild vendor cloaks (cooperation, unity, etc.) which have a use effect to take you to your capital city do not clear the infection, or at least they didn't as of Sunday night.

      We've all seen the giant Hallowfall crystal and just how great it looks, but as it turns out, the light emanating from it actually changes in a sort of strange day/night cycle, and we get a really awesome transition into Void light animation! 
      First off we can see a snippet of the change in Blizzard's official short preview of the zone:
      And then there's this extended look at the switch, showcasing just how impressive the animations are, by PreachGaming's Chunkeyninja:
      And here's a slightly better look at the Void to Light transition, courtesy of Kexman:
      The exact timing on the cycle isn't 100% clear, but MrGM noted how it works on the Alpha right now, with a 3 hour cycle, as the Void part remains active for 30 minutes:

      Hopefully we'll also get some lore to go with the transition, as the light into void thing is pretty thematically interesting, as well as being really visually impressive.

      It's game over until next week for 9 players who've earned every available achievement that grants points! Congrats!
      The ongoing Northrend Cup has introduced new achievements for players to complete, and as we all know, some players are incredibly dedicated when it comes to racking up achievement points.
      The latest one is osatox, who proudly shared a screenshot showcasing 100% completion of all point-granting achievements!
      Placeholder for tweet 1785906134521671737 According to Data of Azeroth, there are currently 9 players leading the pack, having 'beaten the game' so far by mastering every available achievement that gives points.

      As you're likely aware, "beating WoW" is often short-lived. The next achievement points await with the arrival of Patch 10.2.7 next week! Keep an eye out for further updates!
