I even disabled AlarBGhelper thinking it might have been stopping me (as it does auto-release)

@Syrana: further proof that Bliz favors Alliance :-P

Thats a shame, cause I loved “one manning” Undercity

If you can’t target them, they’ve already hit release. If there is still a name floating above their corpse, then they haven’t released.

You can click on them all you want, and the tooltip will say “corpse of thatguy” but that’s just for the purposes of using resurrection spells. You can’t actually target or do anything to them.

It can be quite difficult to get this achievement, because there are addons that will let you release immediately as soon as you get killed, to help you get back to your body sooner. You’ll just have to keep looking for someone who isn’t using one of those addons.

Seriously, 2 Naked Gnomes would be too hard to resist… and I would be getting a whole different set of readers.

@miss elf: Thanks… Speaking of loving posts, your latest Mages guides are awesome…
Zupa, go have a read a save some of the research time for play time!

Yeah.. I was flying away, and I just thought… BRK in epic battle, all seems lost, but new dawn approaches… Back turned to burning Wrathgate seemed somehow appropriate.

Doing Alliance side really made me want to roll Horde DK just so I can see Horde Wrathgate and the follow up quests… I assume there are follow up quests… do you get to raid Stormwind?

Love the salute to BRK pic.

Was interesting to me too as I haven’t seen anything of the Alliance side of Wrathgate!

I loved the Wrathgate questline and cut scene… can’t wait to go through it a 3rd time.

It is possible they released already by the time you try to /hug them. The body will still be there until they either spirit rez or find their way back. A lot of players release very quickly, making it a challenge at times to emote them upon their death.

@zupa: You must at least do the Wrathgate quests… grind everything else if you want… but do that one series at least.

@Kiryn & @zupa: They haven’t released.. corpse is still there, not just bones. I am “targeting them” by clicking on them, but I am not getting the targeting “box/circle”. So I am assuming it’s one of the mryiad of mods that I am using.

@ Zupa: Yes I am slow… but I am not THAT slow!

So you need to click them again to re-target and then hug them before they click release.

If that’s not how things are working then it may be a UI issue?

Otherwise maybe you’re just too slow :P

Had to restart it and ask the dragons to give me an instant replay. It really broke the mood.

If you can’t target them, they’ve already released.
