The highly anticipated open-world PvP event, known as The Blood Moon, is set to debut in Phase 2 of the Season of Discovery. This thrilling event promises an exhilarating free-for-all PvP experience, unfolding within the captivating landscape of Stranglethorn Vale. Scheduled to occur every 3 hours, starting at midnight server time, participants will engage in intense battles for a span of 30 minutes.
The event seamlessly initiates without requiring player intervention, automatically commencing at the designated intervals. As the countdown begins, players will receive a prominent message at the top of their screens, providing essential information about the ongoing skirmish. This dynamic feature ensures that adventurers are well-informed and ready to plunge into the heart of the action as they navigate the challenges presented by The Blood Moon.
Opting out of The Blood Moon event is a choice available to all players who may prefer to avoid the intense free-for-all World PvP experience. If you decide not to participate and wish to remain undisturbed by the chaos of the event, simply seek out the Zandalarian Emissary at the designated locations.
By expressing your desire to opt out, you exempt yourself from the Blood Moon World PvP Event. Consequently, you won't be engaged in the free-for-all World PvP encounters, and you won't earn Blood for the blood loa for vanquishing other players. It's important to note that standard PvP rules will still apply if you are on a PvP server or manually flagged for PvP on a PvE server.
Additionally, choosing not to partake in the event means forfeiting any existing stacks of Sangre para el loa de la sangre that you may currently possess. Make your decision wisely and tailor your gaming experience to your preferred style of play during The Blood Moon.
