[Exploit] Easy wins at battegrounds.

[Malwar]

Okay, me and my friend were farming some AB marks yesterday, for new S4 honor items. After the first AB (we lost ) we clicked "leave battleground" and we just got lagg and didnt get out of there.. We werent the only one, all had same lag, because so many ppl were at BG's at the time and blizzard fails, so now we were stuck at AB.

Then i whisped to my other friend who was in IF to join us into new battleground, since we could not get back to Battleground masters. Okay, so he joined us all into new AB and something weird happened

The AB we got into, got 17 alliance and 13 horde players. Easy win
After that we could continue like that, friend that joined us into new battleground, left that AB we won (no lag, but still worked cuz we were somehow bugged. So me and the other friend didnt click "leave battleground") , and joined us into new AB, same bug, 17 alliance 13 horde. We did like 5 AB's like that, it was pretty easy, because we were 4 more than hordes (maximum at same AB is 30, so it was full and more hordes could not join.)

Ok, what really happened?

Me and my other friend (not the one that joined us into new BG) got somehow bugged when we clicked "leave battleground" --> nothing happened, just lag. Then i asked the third friend to invite us into new AB, and when we arrived there, we could not see the scoreboard, the battleground icon were not around minimap. So we were at AB, but we werent counted as players. We still got all the honor and marks

Here is some pics about this bug / exploit:

If you ever get lagged when trying to leave BG, ask some1 to invite you into same BG again, and you will probaply win xD

My first thread here btw.


EDIT: Just noticed that we could not see the "Time elapsed: " or "Battleground closing in: " Times either :P

[LOL!!]

finally, a real exploit. will be testing this as soon as the servers are back up.

Thats a sort / the same bug like that one with the macro. Just with a laag and not a macro. Well, nice find! ++Rep

[spdrmk2]

same here i'll be testing this aswell i'll update once ive tryed it.

[Fwaky]

Well.. It is indeed a nice exploit if it works without the Lag thingie.. Can you (or anyone else) confirm that it does? If it does, +rep

[Malwar]

Havent tried it without a big lagg, but it might be work just if someone joins you into new bg at the same time when you leave battleground, but nowadays BG's lag a lot atleast on my realm/battlegroup

First time I'm actually happy about lag xD

I will try get it working better today.

Oh and, one thing, if the battleground you are joining, has already 15 hordes there, you wont gain advantage : /
but atleast on my battlegroup there is always less than 15 hordes until game starts and more comes so it is no problem.

And btw. blizzard is going to improve BG system in next patch, it may break this exploit, so have fun while you can (usually everything laggs even more when blizzard tries to fix something, so lets not give up hope )

Are they any S4 honor items?
Will try this out later, rep if it works.

I mean the Guardian items, that are next version of Vindicator items

[galimor_001]

Are they any S4 honor items?

Yes, there are S4 honor items, the guardian bracer's, belt and boots, and the neck and rings

Something somewhat similar happened to me yesterday Malwar. The amount of players weren't affected, but there were '8' cappable bases in the EotS I was in lol. We were able to gain like 100 pts per second when we won with 6-2 bases even though it was 2-2 lol.

Here's the thread I posted with screenshots.

Note: I'm not saying this is repost or anything, it's totally different. Just trying to help figure out wth is happening with the BG's lately lol.

[noes]

Never got this, but when it happends, I know what to do. +1 Rep

(maximum at same AB is 30, so it was full and more hordes could not join.)

I don't think it works like that actually, because I had this bug with a premade wsg team once, and we got queued into a new wsg. Once we got inside the new wsg we noticed that our whole premade team had entered, but there were also alot of random people, we ended up being like 20 vs 10 .

[Strit112]

I believe this can be done. But to correct one fact.
A max number of players in a AB isn't 30.
30 is the max number of players SHOWN in the BG overview.
This means that even though it shows 20-10, it's prolly 20-15. There's just 5 ppl from the opposite team that are not being shown.

This is the same as the exploit with macro (which is fixed now so this is nice find +rep)

[ReidE96]

Nice, a REAL exploit rather than a working as inteded! +Rep because it's actually worth something to the community, unlike most stuff we get these days.

[slashviolence]

if anyone can work out a way to replicate this we'll all be verry happy!
