Ride the VIP elevator without permission! (Show off?)

[Winsane]

Ok, so i really don't know if i should post this in exploits, exploration or guides.

It's an exploit in the sence that youre riding an elevator that youre not supposed to be able to ride, but it's really not useful except for showing off.

Here is a video on how to ride the VIP only elevator in Imperial Fleet without permission to do so.

Normally you're not even able to step inside the elevator, but if you stand on the edge, you can ride it all the way up to the VIP area. You can't stay there though unless you lag yourself (ill post another video if i manage to do that again)

In the video i jump off the elevator to get onto the ring around the middle, where you're not really supposed to be able to stand. I suppose this is a bit like the "on top of stormwind AH" for wow, because you can stand up there and people won't have a clue how to get there

EDIT:

I made this visual explanation to show how this actually works:



Some elevators are easier than others btw.

Really Cool! I lagged right in! But uh..... the music is a little WTF?

[Forgiven]

Nice cheeky exploit there. I agree tho, the video should be without music :P

Strange... tried the same thing in beta but it always ported me down as I were to step right on the elevater... maybe different bodytype...

Thats because the actual elevator area is much bigger than what you can see, and is slightly bigger than the area that will port you out!

so i found out you can completely make it inside if you use the teqnique of the lagging from the program that allows you to skip mobs, just set it really low, like 7, run in, travel up, and be a free member of the elite. Make sure its low, like 7 or so, and if you're lucky, the vendor will pop up, allowing you to buy certain goods.... certain..... VIP goods..... :P

I actually love Caravan Palace. First song I heard of there when getting into a buddies car, electro + swing = perfection in my eyes. Good find btw.

I tried yesterday with a speeder and was able to get on the ring. So yep, you were right...

You can jump from the Cargo Hold area with a 110% speeder, and land on the higher ring of the Cantina. Little bit easier.

Caravan Palace ftw! Parov Stelar is awesome, song not very suited for the video tho.

Electro Swing is funky, groovy and awesome. Only cool people listen to it ^^

Stroke your epeen and profit.
What were you expecting? He showed how to ride the elevator to get onto the higher ring of the cantina, people had some trouble so I posted an easier way.

Btw thanks OP for turning me onto this genre.
Can't stand that dubstep nonsense, and love 40's- 50's music, a nice blend for my tastes.

Ah i see, though you ment to it will get you to the top or something. All good though.
