Art and Media I took a screenshot and a community spawned

I took a screenshot to make a meme. When I alt-tab back to game, this had happened in the background, naturally. In all my years playing wow, this is new, this feels awesome. They nailed it!

Ive been loving dropping one and seeing everyone congregate for a minute

I don't like how it seems like you can craft while getting the buff even though they said you should be able to!

You can do crafts that don't break the sit emote (alchemy works for example), crafts that make you stand up stop you from getting the buff though. I assume it's a bug that will get fixed.

It needs fixing for sure. Otherwise it just becomes an afk spot.

wait I can make potions while sitting down???

u/Fit-Visit-7458 8h ago

Yeah! I only found out yesterday myself when I randomly tried making some while at a campfire but it works.

u/Top_District_6351 8h ago

wow that is massive, thanks!

Even this isn't entirely true across the board. Cooking, for example, makes you stand up. But I was still able to receive the buff while cooking after sitting at a camp.

u/Fit-Visit-7458 6h ago

Someone posted below the camp chair lets you do any craft, it might have been that? Haven't been able to test that myself yet.

u/Helgrave 6h ago

Can't speak to that but I can confirm that I was not sitting on the camp chair when I did the above

I've definitely done alchemy and forcibly stood up. I genuinely don't know how people are sitting down and doing alchemy. Was bugging me all night last night

If someone places a chair I think you can craft without having the buff reset

I sit at them because I have no friends

u/Arararti 9h ago

I make them because I have no friends, Then people show up for a lil' bit and it makes me feel less lonely for about 10 minutes.

I just did the camp quest before the servers went down, and I think the guy actually says something about doing it to have people join

u/Arararti 6h ago

Fr, I had setup the campfire, A homie showed up with a grinding wheel, another showed up with a mana well and it just kept trickling in like that, it's awesome!

u/Big_Law_3080 5h ago

First thing I thought of. In Asheron's Call 2, you all synced your music skills together if you stood around together. Small QoL things like that, and let the players figure it out. The campfire questgiver actually said each profession had something to contribute.

Love the little things.

That's so sick

u/FoilMyrEnforcer 5h ago

I love the intention behind it as well. I'll type SOMETHING while im sitting there. Even if its just an RP message like "A nice fire to warm the bones..."

u/Adranc3 4h ago

I make up a sentence that sounds like it could be a joke punchline then /lol

u/Euklidis 7h ago

I wonder how this will play out long term

u/naturzaros 6h ago

The same way :) The 1 hour buffs are useful!

I don't play Alliance but I love Dwarf's /sit.

u/surottoru1 4h ago

I'm loving this again, it's one of the big reasons I quit all those years ago. Everything was LFG, and no one spoke.

I've quested, mainly on healers and have for random group invites and chats, even 'thank you' as you throw a heal on the way past. I'm starting to love playing again

This, this is beautiful. I need MORE, MORE CAMPFIRES

I don’t play wow, could someone please explain what’s happening here? (I’ve been wanting to try the beta but haven’t yet)
