WoW AB bug - allows hunters to sploit through AB starting gates.

Drewon · 05-05-2006, 02:22 AM

Before gates disappear:

Cast eagle eye on opposing side of the map. Wait 4-5 seconds for the spell to freak out on you (It's borked atm - stops working after a few seconds) - and you will be able to run forward through the gate (Which has now ghosted out for you) before it reappears. This lets you pretty much have free reign on that map for the 2 minutes before it begins.

I posted this here because I want eagle eye fixed for AB (I use it a ton in there) - and because to be honest I had no idea whether or not I'd be banned for bringing this up on the blizz forums (Posting exploits there = bad?).

Eagle eye is also bugging out on non-BG maps, and thus I would imagine this could have more uses beyond simply moving through the starting gates at AB.

Have fun while it lasts, kids!

attest

luckily the alliance didn't seem very surprised when
capped stables before the game started

they probably thought it was a racial ability

They'll certainly suspend your forum privileges for a brief period, at least. Theres some email that you're meant to send them to which buries them at the bottom of somebody's inbox. Posting them here is the accepted method of actually getting them fixed.

What do you mean by bug out? I've been using it alot in AB and honestly it seems to work just fine for me .. I will be trying out this bug though.

I've encountered rendering issues sometimes with stuff like eye of kilrogg (if you go far enough away, when it wears off it takes the game a few moments to re-render your immediate surroundings. Never heard of it making gates passable though.

Good thing AB runs twice a week if you're lucky on my server then.

I've noticed that lately. Servers either love AB, or just can't stand it. On my friends server, you are lucky to see an AB match twice a week. On mine, we always have like 3 and 4 running every day. Strange.

You could jump right over the fence on the alliance side if you had an epic mount with all your riding enchants/carrot on and you knew the right spot. You'd land on top of it and jump again and go over it. Not sure if they fixed it or not.

When i still played you could eyes of the beast through the gates. I couldn't figure out a way to make it worth while though.

Be creative.

Back when the AV wolf and ZG bats were absolutely retarded fast, you could get your pet to the farm before the horde could cap it. You interrupt their cap and run off.. come back and do it again. Usually gave you enough time to get there and prevent them from capping it at all, which made the 5-cap go alot faster. This is the only way to get a 3-minute 5-cap.

PvP or PvE?

Stormreaver has AB's running continuously. I'm curious if some PvP servers are for it, or if it's split on PvP's or if it's a PvE versus PvP thing.

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

being horde, I usualy got battle grounds when I wanted them. Though AB was the one with the most delay (up to half an hour durring off times! *gasp*) .

skeezer · 05-05-2006, 07:25 AM

last 3 AB wait times have been 3.5 hours, 2.5 hours and 1.5 hours. the 1.5 hour one i think was the first AB of the day or something. the other 2 were during the AB weekend.
