Trolls in World of Warcraft can be annoying. But you only get a new achievement if you want to troll someone but completely fail at it.
In World of Warcraft, there is a lot to do. But aside from dungeons, PvP, roleplay or engaging in pet battles, there is one activity that is even more fun: trolling friends and fellow players. There are numerous abilities and items that can tease or drive your fellow players in WOW a bit crazy.
Arguably the most popular of these “troll items” just received an achievement. But you only get it if you’re too dumb to use it correctly.
Which item is being referred to? It’s the “Swap Blaster”. This is an item that engineers can craft and you can also simply buy it in the auction house. The Swap Blaster can also be used even if you haven’t chosen engineering.
The Swap Blaster has a short activation time and then swaps your position with that of another player in the party or raid. The exciting part: The targeted character retains their momentum. So if they are running straight, they will continue to do so after the teleport. In comparison: Spells like “Leap of Faith” end your movement, even if you keep holding the run button.
Most players use the Swap Blaster as follows: They position themselves at an edge and wait for their “victim” to move. Then they fire the Swap Blaster and swap positions with their victim. Since the target is still moving, it gets teleported to the edge and takes one more step – which usually leads to death.
We have more about the Swap Blaster in this article.
What do you have to do for the achievement? It’s about the achievement “You Had it Coming”. The task description of the achievement says: “Get what you deserve.”
This is not exactly clear, but the symbol of the Swap Blaster reveals what needs to be done: You must die.
To get the achievement, you need to use the Swap Blaster on a fellow player and then die immediately afterwards. This can sometimes happen quite “naturally” if you choose the absolutely wrong moment for a swap, like when the victim is jumping over an abyss. With the swap using the Swap Blaster, you find yourself in mid-air. Since you must stand still to use the Swap Blaster, you have no movement during the swap either – and simply fall into the abyss.
Whether you want this achievement or not is, of course, up to you. Because maybe it’s also the ultimate troll award if you avoid getting this achievement for as long as possible.
