I think the longest I wait for any of the battlegrounds is like 5 minutes, be it WSG, AB, or AV.

AB is insanely frustrating with incompetent teammates and incredibly satisfying with an organized team.

Both mine and my friends servers are PvE. He hates AB, and I'd rather do AB over WSG, and sometimes AV preferably.

Yeah that sounds like an identical issue to what I was describing - probably caused by the same problem.

Lol did this today and oh man, alliance hates me. I only have 60% mount since I refuse to buy gold or drop nearly 4 digits on something I can get for a pittance eventually, so I only managed to cap farm and BS before the game started. For the rest of the day I noticed every alliance in both AB and WSG running past every other horde to hit me, /spit, /rude, etc.

I might get a 3 day suspension but it would still be worth it.

I have access to a throwaway 60 hunter that I might have to try this with. I'm disappointed that there isn't a shitfest on the WoW.com PvP forums yet. Obviously, there aren't enough people abusing the bug.

shamans can do it as well

cast farsight, wait for everything to load where you cast it, cancel cast and run forward

Xurlitil · 05-06-2006, 11:20 PM

Basically any ability that moves your "area of intrest" or whatever the devs called it far away from your actual character point (far sight, eagle eye, eye of kilrogg, eyes of the beast, even sentry totem can work if you run far enough away from it). Then cancelling that ability snapping you back to your character, anything around you at that point will take a bit to load including gates, people, and mobs.

Yeah this bug has been out for awhile, I abused it once for hillarity and took the farm before the game started, got this huge emotional post on our realm forums about how my guild 'hacks' etc, never bothered with it again. Although, I have noticed eagle eye being bugged now, where when you use it in an area, after about 5 seconds tops, it'll pop back to where your standing, even though the effect is still going on. I miss it, it always freaks horde pugs out when i eagle eye on their flag, they think someone is capping it and ae like crazy, haha.

batphone must be broken, this still works.

ps > people gave up bitching about the pvp hacks months ago. The utter shithole that Cenarion Hold is pretty much cemented it for various folks I know.

Capping while stealthed, the various vision hacks and of course good ol' fashioned teleport bullshit have been in since the beginning. I mean the entire system itself is glaringly retarded... yeah, zzz.

reala · 05-26-2006, 11:15 PM

This currently no longer works on the test realm.

Algol Devilstar · 05-27-2006, 07:04 AM

still an annoying bug, sucks to see everything get capped before game even starts, hell even rogues on my server are doing it.

they should reset anyone's rank who does this to private/scout =P

They should reset your life to zero.

Yermum Onceme · 05-29-2006, 12:28 PM

No... they should reset their rank.

the pvp honor system is stupid enough, taking a hard line on exploiters won't matter.
