COVID-19 Nurse Forgets About Daily Troubles Thanks to Shadowlands

Recommended Posts

WoW really is a game that helps keep people sane during these troubling times. Here is a thank you post from a nurse that works 12-hour shifts in the Emergency Department with COVID-19 constantly in her face.

The thread on Reddit has accrued more than 6K upvotes, and it's really great to see how a game can help you clear your mind after a long day at work!

The nurse thanked Blizzard for Shadowlands. The new expansion allows her to get lost in the joy and forget about her stressful day at work.

She also edited the post later and thanked for the wholesome replies from the community and the information they provided.

This gives me hope that there's still good-hearted people in our player base. And not because she's a nurse, but because she's a decent human being who appreciates and respects the incredible amount of hard work, creativity, and genius it takes to deliver a product like Shadowlands.

It must be really stressful and scary being at the frontlines, facing the COVID everyday. She is the real MvP here. A real life healer.

It's like that for all 'essential' employees of the USA.  We are told to follow strict guidelines to follow while our clients/customers refuse to abide by them or wear a mask.  And they wonder why Covid is still prevalent in many states.

It is everywhere, unfortunately. We thought this pandemic would bring people closer together and teach to care about others, but you still see people not wearing their masks or following the hygiene protocols. It is really sad.

imagine thanking a company for allowing you to buy their product, i'm glad it's making her feel better but I don't write a long thank you letter to tylenol every time i use it for a headache, yeah it makes me feel bette..... good, that's the 1 thing it's supposed to do and why i paid for it. not going to thank blizz for suppling a decent game that's the one thing I except.

      Blizzard has added a completely new category to the Great Vault in the War Within. Find out more about the updated requirements!
      While we can't bring up the UI on the Alpha, based on datamining, we were able to figure out that the PvP row has been completely removed and replaced with a World row, as indicated by the new global strings for Build 54675.
      GREAT_VAULT_REWARDS_WORLD_INCOMPLETE - Complete %1$d more |4delve:delves; or |4world activity:world activities; this week to unlock a Great Vault reward. World activities count as Tier 0.|n|nThe item level of your reward will be based on your highest run this week.1 GREAT_VAULT_REWARDS_WORLD_COMPLETED_FIRST - Complete %1$d more |4delve:delves; or |4world activity:world activities; this week to unlock a second Great Vault reward. World activities count as Tier 0.1 GREAT_VAULT_REWARDS_WORLD_COMPLETED_SECOND - Complete %1$d more |4delve:delves; or |4world activity:world activities; this week to unlock a third Great Vault reward. World activities count as Tier 0.1 WEEKLY_REWARDS_THRESHOLD_WORLD - Complete %d |4Delve:Delves; or |4World Activity:World Activities; GREAT_VAULT_WORLD_TIER - Tier %s WEEKLY_REWARDS_ITEM_LEVEL_WORLD - Item Level %1$d - (Tier %2$d) WEEKLY_REWARDS_COMPLETE_WORLD - Complete a Tier %1$d delve or higher to increase this reward's item level. New World Category
      As you can see, you can complete delves or other world activities to unlock items in the new World row, which is cool for players who do not want to do Mythic+ or Raids.
      To unlock items in the new row, you must complete 3/6/12 delves or world activities. Completing world activities will be equivalent to completing a certain Tier of delves.
      To increase the reward's item level, you must complete Delves at a higher tier. We have 9 tiers in total with the last two being only for bragging rights (awarding cosmetics).
      Great Vault Requirements in the War Within
      Here are the updated requirements for the weekly chest in the War Within.
      Raids
      Defeat 2/4/6 raid bosses to unlock slots 1-3. Dungeons
      Complete 1/4/8 Heroic, Mythic, or Timewalking dungeons to unlock slots 1-3. World
      Complete 3/6/12 Delves or world activities to unlock slots 1-3.

      Struggling in delves? The new Determination buff has got your back in the War Within.
      If you’ve ever done LFR, you’re probably familiar with the Determination buff. When your raid wipes, your damage, healing, and health get a boost. Now, this same mechanic is coming to delves, which is surprising given that delves can be tackled solo or in a group.
      Delver's Determination is a buff you receive when you die too much in delves. It increases your damage, healing, and health by 5%, stacking. Every delve ends with a boss fight. If you’re finding the final boss too challenging, don’t worry. You’ll gain a stack of Delver's Determination every time the boss defeats you, giving you a better chance to succeed on your next try.
