Blizzard: No Murloc suit buffs in World of Warcraft |
Those lucky enough to attend this year's Blizzcon were able to pick up a Murloc suit for the their World of Warcraft characters. This item makes a player look like the lovable green aquatic creature we have all grown fond off.Players have been complaining that the suit doesn't really do anything aside from making their character look good. In addition to this, players are unable to attack or cast spells in this form, further limiting its purpose in the game. Blizzard Poster/ Community Manager Bornakk addressed these issues on the WoW Forums:
We chose not to allow people to fight/cast spells with this on, similar to the HallowÂ’s End wand transformations, as we don't want the whole game to eventually have nobody that looks like races that are in it.
We also didn't feel like having this suit on while fighting epic battles would fit the feel of the game.
The Ogre suit and savory deviate delights are a full transformation into battle worthy characters, so we currently have them work a little differently.
This difference is something we consider very carefully anytime a costume is added. We believe players can enjoy the item as it is when putting it on in at anytime they want throughout the world. I know mine gets plenty of attention when I surprise people with it. :)
Some players on the thread have pointed out that this decision by Blizzard is rather inconsistent considering skeletons, pirates, and ninjas have been running around Azeroth unchecked. Judging from Bornakk's response though, it doesn't look like any changes are slated for the suit. That's a bit of a let-down, it would have been fun to take a 40 Murloc team out for a raid.
