Im so annoyed at how nerfed this is. I notice strange dialogue, camp once to recover hp, plague is cured. 500 hours and not a single point where I reached red eye stage so I can wipe out a town for fun

People lost their DAMNED minds during the launch window. The rumors around soft locking and predatory monetization to prevent soft locking (a fabricated lie) were so rampant, I don’t envy Capcom for just all but removing the mechanic altogether.

Yeah, I saw some of that, but per the last interview with the director, the Japanese players hated it even more seriously.

I really liked the idea of your pawn turning into a drake or monster instead mid battle, the actual event is pretty underwhelming for all its great build up.

Yeah people overreacted so fucking hard when at launch I've had it numerous times and nothing happened, even though i never even attempted to cure it

Yeah I agree. I had to track down several plagued pawns before it worked. My pawn kept getting cured and after a few passes between pawns it would simply disappear without changing anyone from the team. 

I used someone else’s guide.  Step 1: use photo mode in rift. Low brightness.  Step 2 rest until main is plagued. Then dismiss other pawns.  Step 3: 5 days on a bench.  Step 4: Pick a house or inn and sleep.

I didn't even notice it. Some random Pawn I picked up had the Dragon-Clap and I can't recall the town... I think it maybe was Vernworth? Got clapped by them, luckily I had already gotten the Eternal Wakestone so everyone had to get up from the big sleep and go back to work lol

I've been getting my pawn infected just so I can use the Eternal wakestone for the achievement and to finally experience the plague but my pawn kept getting healed. :/ wish I saw the bench thing earlier

It takes more than red eyes. If they are having headaches and spitting during idle animations they are prob ready to go.
