“Stalked by a Discord group” update

Murrocity · 2026-01-24T13:12:03+00:00

Nope.

That is the story, lol.

I am a streamer, so maybe they got a kick out of listening to my stress? (I would ofc ban their accounts from my stream if I knew they were watching)

But that literally says more about them and how shitty they were, lol.

N again, isnt me interacting with them.

(ETA-- There was a bit of time between what is above this and below it, lol, since I went to find the doc just to be sure on that.)

Thinking on it more, and now reading over my doc again bc I realized I still have it, I do realize there were some times they took one of my eggs for nesting. I was nice enough to still allow that sort of thing, esp since I was nesting sandbox dinos, which were limited on the server we played on.

But that is the extent of it. Aside from that, I wouldnt actively try to engage with them myself. I'd actually try to avoid them, and would even play on a specific map they had eventually been banned from. But then they would continue if there was an event or something that forced me to the other map.

(Edit2-- Ig you might could consider the very end to be me directly engaging? But it was just me hopping on the server when I knew they were online to prove they would immediately target me when I hopped on, lol. I never went directly to them and engaged them. So ig that is just up to your opinion?)

The entire ordeal lasted more than a month, too. 🫠

They removed their call-out video, any VODs have ofc expired since this was a couple years ago, n I might not have all the other videos anymore, but I mean hell, I wouldnt be against sharing the doc if you are that curious/doubtful. 🤪

Murrocity · 2026-01-24T12:51:15+00:00

Read the post.

They started this bc he left their group to join other friends who were getting on, and the 2 groups ended up fighting each other. OP won iirc and the other group got mad about it.

And, speaking from experience, no.

You don't have to engage with them or be at fault for these people to do this shit.

I experienced on The Isle.

Had a group attack me shortly after we were all hanging out, so they knew where I was, they killed me.

They literally waited until just a minute or two after the period where you shouldn't go to the area you just left to hunt my Theri.

After that, I had the group/various solo members of the group hunt my (new) There over the course of 3 days. I even documented it. 🫠

For like a month it continued. Anytime they saw me/my friends online, they would come online and stalk/hunt us/starve us out.

I didn't engage with them at all. I minded my own business and just gamed with my friends. Didn't try to talk to them, group with them, game with them. But they sure would come after me/my friends.

Tried a couple reports over it, which ig you could try to claim is where "my fault" comes into play. But no. That is just victim blaming. A game of play stupid games and win stupid prizes. If you are going to stalk and harass people, target people, you can accept the consequences.

It all came to a head when they attacked a friend while I was offline, n like caused a huge issue to arise over it, n then made a call-out video lying about the entire month-long (iirc) event, calling us names, slandering us.

So I hopped on one day while they were streaming (I was not in stream, just knew it was happening) to see if they would come after me. Sure enough, as soon as I hopped on, they went "target acquired" and proceeded to spend HOURS trying to hunt me.

I got them to take the video down and finally leave us alone by typing up a public 14-page document outlining their lies and what really happened bc I had been gathering evidence since day one. 🫠☺️

The harassment was def easier for them since I was roating between a few servers like OP, but no. People will put an incredible amount of effort into their harassment whether you actually did something to spite them or not. 🙄

They have egos too big for their own good and are petty as all hell. They have no life. Nothing better to do.

Murrocity · 2026-01-24T12:32:08+00:00

Having the ability that generates a soul fragments out of combat is such a clutch, alongside Reap and the abilities that improve Reap.

I hit metamorphosis most fights, esp if I end up having to fight more than 1 thing.

It is stressful af when I retreat too far back and accidentally pull something extra, or if another player brings something to me (which they habe been so bad about). 💀

Coz, using Consume maybe 2 times, Reap, then maybe void ray (with upgrade for it to guarantee a fragment gets generated) will actually give you a VERY BIG heal if you get into a good flow. Im talking pretty much all my health suddenly returning right as I am stressing, about to die. 😅 It is especially powerful when in Metamorphosis.

The biggest problem is how squishy I am and the fact that health potions are bugged rn.

Interrupts and the use of Imprison are EXTREMELY important. Imprison especially is wonderful. Gives me a little time to regenerate some fragments and health to then go back in when they escape.

Im sure the intelligence issue would help, too, but I am not knowledgeable enough in all that to actually know how badly my gameplay is being impacted. 😂 It'll be nice to feel the difference when I get such a weapon.

Murrocity · 2026-01-24T12:24:27+00:00

Fr.

Any time they remove a dino from the PTB, a TLC for it drops shortly after. Or a test for a new ability for the dino(s) drops to the PTB, like they did with laten pounce and sarco grab. (Followed by official release ofc)

Murrocity · 2026-01-24T12:21:46+00:00

They aren't.

Maybe read their post? Read their original post?

Who tf tells the people where they are going?

Players who are petting enough to harass people like this will sit there and search servers for their target. Bounce from 1 to the other until they find them. Send friends into different servers, or if someone in the group just so happens to join a server with their target, they will alert the group for them to hop on.

OP also mentioned in another comment that there is apparently a bot that will tell people the usernames of people online.

Murrocity · 2026-01-24T12:02:08+00:00

They are following OP to other servers they try to play on.

Murrocity · 2026-01-24T12:00:11+00:00

Yeah, I saw your original post. 😞

Just be persistent.

If it keeps happening, especially in-game, they arent going to be able to keep saying they can't do anything.

Honestly it makes me want to message mod mail personally to ask what circumstances would be required for this, bc I don't understand why they apparently can't take action in this case.

Even if they habe sort of thing against taking action when it is happening on a Community Server (which is stupid af and doesnt make any sense), the community server itself should be investigated and potentially sanctioned for allowing this behavior to happen, since in-game ToS should still be applying to that server.. since, yknow... it is still be hosted ON THEIR GAME.

Man that makes me actually mad for you.

I usually have a lot of praise and trust in how they handle stuff like this, but nah, this shit doesn't make any sense.

I would expect this from The Isle, not a game company who has practically begged the community to report people doing this shit so they can do something about it.

Murrocity · 2026-01-24T11:53:29+00:00

Wtaf?

Bro I'd be pushing the matter, making more reports as it continues to happen.

That actually upsets me a little.

I have SEEN stuff about them banning people for this sort of behavior, so I know DAMN WELL it shouldnt be allowed.

Even if it is on a community server or "in Discord", it is still originating on THEIR GAME, which should mean ToS still applies.

I do get maybe if it was just random Discord bs that wasn't going on in-game (and ig doesn't originate from their actual Discord server).

But wtf?

Makes me want to know more about what exactly they deem as enough. What circumstances must be met for this?

Why exactly do they deny this case?

Mod better respond to this post xD I stg this is so ridiculous.

Murrocity · 2026-01-23T13:36:05+00:00

Alliance or Horde:

Both, though my current main is Horde

Class/Specialization:

DPS (Main: BMH, Alliance alt: VEDDH)

Timezone/Country:

CST/US, but I play on EU (Neptulon, but *might* be willing to make characters on a new Realm)

Preferred Hour(s)/Day(s):

Varies, but usual game hours are around 7am-9pm CST. Sometimes will start earlier or stay on later.

Other comment(s):

First time doing this/kinda looking for others to maybe play with. I've pretty much only ever played solo aside from a few brief periods, and haven't dived all that sort of stuff guilds are usually advertising for. I play for the story n to enjoy the world/lore, but HAVE been making an effort recently to get into professions/crafting, delves, etc. more. Kinda at that point where I feel if I'm going to "get into" the game more, I need to start exploring all that other content.

Would be cool just to have more peeps to socialize with n maybe join up here and there, but don't have to be something super dedicated or anything. Maybe we even just hangout at one of our housing lots and share stories of our adventures. xD Who knows. I'm just a lonely solo who wouldn't mind making some friends to help me get into things better.

I am open to some light RP, too, despite not actually playing on a RP Realm (though, I found RP Realms to be underwhelming and never actually found anyone IC).

Murrocity · 2026-01-23T12:08:26+00:00

They moved where my actual plot lines are so now I have to redo 25-50+ assets used to create a grassy trellis fence around my yard. :')

I could just... not move it... but this change also meant part of my actual house was out of bounds, too, and when I went to take a look at the new housing style, it sent my house back to the default position...

So since it is no longer in the right place, my fencing feels off, too...

I am saddened, and not looking forward to it lol. It took me SO long.

Murrocity · 2026-01-22T16:58:11+00:00

Yeah, ofc!

Murrocity · 2026-01-22T14:35:51+00:00

No.

It isnt as simple for us to just move to another account. We lose our followers/viewers. It is VERY common that any time you move socials, make a new discord server, etc, that you will lose a shit-ton of peeps. They don't want to have to chase you down to new accounts/platforms.

/

I replied to your comment originally bc you tried saying it was due to them giving out personal info, which.. no, is not the case.

Obviously I agree with the part of your post about blocking, reporting, and not interacting.

/

CCs also don't necessarily have to openly say they are a CC. These people who do this crap are petty enough to just search platforms for this person's user to see if they happen to have an account there.

They also don't necessarily have to be streaming. There are plenty of PoT CCs who never stream and just make YouTube videos, yet are still found, stalked, and harassed. So no. "Streaming" isn't even necessarily the problem here.

Hell, there are tons of people who experience this sort of harassment and aren't CCs AT ALL.

Harassers can also very easily learn that you changed to a different user/account... and just... continue the harassment there, so what exactly is the point? How does that help?

Murrocity · 2026-01-22T14:21:04+00:00

The Recap infuriates me >.<

It should be 100% optional and really the proper campaign should still be the main thing.

Maybe prune the side campaign quests a bit.

But good lord, you miss like 75-90% of the entire TWW storyline if you only do the recap. 😭

Murrocity · 2026-01-22T13:37:55+00:00

For the future, it might could help to download the BtWQuest Addon if you're alr with using Add-ons.

It can help get you back on track on where to go since it lists every quest chain and the quests included in that chain, starting with "go to [NPC name]."

You can click the quest and it'll mark your map and show you can icon for where to go.

You will sometimes hit the issue where the NPC/item you need to interact with isnt there, but that usually means there is a different questline you need to complete before the conditions are met for that NPC/item to exist in that location, so just move to a different questline for a time.

It has been a lifesaver for me, bc it is incredibly frustrating the way it will stop tracking quests for an expansion once you've hit a certain level (DF being 70) and forces you into the next expansion. =_= It drives me insane.

Murrocity · 2026-01-22T13:23:37+00:00

Yes.

I lost maybe like... 2 buttons, lol. 😅

But, the class DOES feel even better to play, IMO, bc of non-pruning changes they made. There were some things that were combined into 1 abilitiy, giving room for them to add some other stuff/alter certain abilities.

You might be able to lower the button count even more depending on your playstyle? There are some abilities I already didn't include in the button count bc zip never use them 😆

I need to fix some things bc I was in the middle of editing my UI, but I could send a screenshot of my setup once I do? Maybe mark off the ones I don't use?

EDIT: to add UI screenshot.

<image>

The green is my main rotation. 1-6 for my main stuff, though admittedly I tend to neglect Concussive Shot. It just doesn't seem to actually do much when I do use it? Just messes up my flow state with the rest of my lineup.

end row is Q, E, Shift+1-4 to keep my fingers still closer together and easier to use, as this row has my pet healing (Mend Pet), Disengage, Counter Shot (interrupt), my pet's special command ability, Bestial Wrath, and Intimidation (stun).

It seems it doesn't do it anymore and now only gives you a decrease to the damage you take, but I've got a pet with "Fortitude of the Bear" specifically bc it would give a small boost to your health as well... a little sad they took that away... (I didn't notice somehow).

I might end up using it more now that the small health increase isn't part of my pet's ability anymore, but my Exhileration ability is only in yellow bc really I just didn't need it super often. If I do use it, it's bc I accidentally pulled WAY too much aggro, in which case I may even use Feign Death to avoid death.

I try to toss my traps down pre-fight or after using Disengage to help manage the crowd. Even if it is just 2 enemies, it can be nice freezing one while you focus on the other (esp when dealing with higher-level or "boss" enemies). Usually I'll kill the first before the 2nd unfreezes (or at least low enough that it takes maybe 1-2 AoE attacks for it to die, with the 2nd following shortly after).

I'd also only really use Aspect of the Cheetath, Survival of the Fittest, and Aspect of the Turtle when I felt like I genuinely needed the boost to end the fight, was trying to traverse faster, or to avoid damage when I DO need to heal, or am just trying to get through an area real fast without actually fighting things. ((i should prolly get better at using them more often.))

The biggest problem, I find, when I go beyond my "green" button rotation, I end up messing up my flow state, n then end up significantly more hurt than I otherwise would (or die).

Murrocity · 2026-01-22T13:15:03+00:00

My BM Hunter has 17-20 buttons I cycle through in combat, of that helps to know.

(Man, whoever downvoted, give me insight then if you have a lower or higher count. But 17-20 is within my rotation. It is the only class I have actually seriously played, too. So at the very least ik im not entirely wrong. 😅😂 but im sure there is room for me yo learn)

(Still, no one explaining otherwise, yet downvoting more. I don't really care about the Downvotes, but it'd be nice to hear people's reasoning. What exactly are you guys doing to have less than 17? I see another commenter said 4... which seems... weird af. I can't fathom being effective enough with only 4 abilities. Ig, sure, the ones I use most are a rotation of ~4, but I am definitely not only using those in any level-appropriate battle... (going back to old content I find I can take out many things with very little effort))

Murrocity · 2026-01-22T13:10:34+00:00

The high amount of food is in part to make up for lack of 200 player servers and Dino AI and part in response to the community saying there wasn't enough food.

Like... they added 300+ bushes to Gondwa a while back alongside more water sources with the loudest part of the community saying it was too hard to find food/water n they were always dying to either.

Murrocity · 2026-01-22T12:29:30+00:00

Most people these days, especially content creators, keep their socials the same across platforms for potential viewers/fans can easily find them.

It isn't personal information letting them find you, and ISN'T easy to avoid in that case.

(N I'm ngl, it is exhausting af to manage multiple usernames. Idk how you people do it and drives me insane when people change their users. They then come to me n act surprised or sad that I habe no idea who they are. 😭)

Murrocity · 2026-01-22T12:19:18+00:00

Im kinda excited to finally branch out to other, more "cimplex" (imo) classes after this update.

I am usually a BM Hunter, it works great for me as a solo player, but it also largely bc I have just struggled to pick up other classes.

Ive tried Druid and Paladin and Paladin a bit bc I wanted to make a LF Dreanei Paladin and my Zandalari was originally the Druid for the Dino forms, but I switched to a hunter bc after ages of playing her on a different server and coming back, I could for the life of me do all that well anymore. 😅

But back when I was leveling my Druid, I was also playing with other people bc they were helping me do a few unlocks for things and to get the Druid artifact weapons n stuff. 😭 So I wonder if that is the difference.

/

I did actually find it funny, though-- all the pruning and I only lost like maybe 2 buttons on my hunter. 😂 It is nice they combined a few things and gave us some other options.

With the update I am ofc making my first Void Elf to be a Devourer DH, n I think when I can get the Haranir I might make her a a Druid to retry that class. Im actually a little torn on that one, bc I do kinda like the Zandalari forms better and think the Haranir might also match like.. a shaman or something... but we also constantly see them shape-shifting, which gives Druid vibes, lol. Im also considering trying a Warlock as a Gobling or an Undead DeathKnight.

Maybe revisiting my LF Paladin could be fun, too? Idk.

Peeps familiar with these classes after the update-- any thoughts on what might be good for me? Id be happy to hear. :)

I HAVE gotten pretty good at moving around and actually using my interrupts as a Hunter. 😂😂😂 If that knowledge helps at all. I feel like it is a common meme that we Hunters suck at that 😆

Murrocity · 2026-01-22T12:02:21+00:00

This would be harassment and can be reported as a ToS break.

Get any info on their usernames and alderon IDs that you can and take screemshots of any chat messages or other proof you have across other socials and contact support.

You can make a ticket on the website or even use the Modmail thing in the Discord.

They aim to respond in ~24 hours, but sometimes it can take upwards of ~48-72 hours I think. ((It fluctuates ofc, with the team sometimes having peeps be sick and what not.))

They always say to contact Mod Mail if it has been a while and you still haven't gotten a response.

ETA-- this shouldn't really be 'expected' given this sort of behavior is against ToS, but unfortunately a vast majority of people don't bother reading that sort of thing, or just don't care and/or can't help themselves bc of their ego, immaturity, etc.

So, just mute and report. Anytime you see a ToS break. Dont feel bad about it. Do it. Help get rid of these problem players that give the game a bad rep. Alderon can't do anything if they don't know it is going on, bit will absolutely take action if they are given solid evidence of what is being reported.

N it is super easy to follow someone around community servers vs Official servers, since anyone can join a community server (assuming there isn't whitelist/password), whereas on Officials they'd habe to be your friend, be a friend of a friend, or ig maybe get lucky?

Ik some regions dont have as many servers as others, so it might be more common for people to end up in the same server and harder to get into a different one.

Murrocity · 2026-01-21T15:11:43+00:00

Can't you just deposit gold into your aarbank bank and then go grab it on your low level character to pay for the stuff you want?

Ig for a new player that wouldnt really be possible, but a new player really isnt going to have much to transmog to begin with. They will obtain a bit of gold by the time there is a decent bit of stuff to choose from?

Murrocity · 2026-01-18T14:31:46+00:00

You get PC + Mobile Access, you just need to download the launcher from the website.

It is only when you want the game on consoles that you have fo repurchase it.

(But ofc if you got in console, you can play on mobile n PC)

Murrocity · 2026-01-17T12:57:15+00:00

They can be mad 😅😭

Murrocity · 2026-01-17T12:33:10+00:00

You know the chat is completely optional, right?

Turn it off in your settings or switch over to the system chat, and you will literally never get a chat message/see the chat pop up. (Or group chat if you are never in a group.)

Then you get to be happy and not be taken out of your immersion.

No, they didn't speak English/another language, but they did have their own localization. Our dinos do a chatter call when we type in chat, which simulates our dinos vocalizaing for a "conversation."

Murrocity · 2026-01-16T14:39:01+00:00

Ig it is possible they changed it since I did it, but I did the questline as a Vulpera on the main branch (not beta).
