^^ lol indeed

Afaik the flag will stay on the map. Maybe i will verify what i'm saying, maybe.

**emyarva** · 03-09-2010

Hmm, kinda risky. I picked the flag, went in our base, droped the flag, got saped and lost the flag

One flaw:a hunter can still find you no matter what,track humanoid ftw.

**~~StefanSon~~** · 03-09-2010

this makes no sence at all...
When u drop flag, u got a debuff?
For not being able to pick it again for like 3/4 sec?

**vixing** · 03-09-2010

I think it isn't an exploit, and everyone knew that :s better is to take flag, then after 20 sec drop it, and bg-friend take it - you will lose all debuffs and it will give you the same effect like you posted m8 - after 20 sec he will give you it back

Let me put it in a simple way

1) You pick up enemy flag. Your model ingame now shows this flag, but you are NOT yet shown on enemy minimap

2) Some time passes (30sec? not sure). You are now visible as Flag Carrier on the world map. This way enemy team can track you if you are hiding

3) If you drop the flag on the ground (not lose it, just drop and pick up), it resets this 30sec timer, so if you do it before you become visible, you will remain invisible on the map

4) this way you can find a hard-to-find spot, hide there and keep dropping/picking flag. Since opposing faction cant see you on map, they dont know where you are hiding.

+rep to OP for this. Might be common sense, but i actually havent thought of that

I don't think people (like Anakonda) understand what Trollin is trying to say.. :wave:

If the opposite team has the flag, and the flag carrier of that team is standing in the flag-drop zone, when the flag carrier of your team drops his flag to then pick it up again, the opposite team caps the flag. Seriously, how could you NOT understand that?

**spiderpigz** · 03-09-2010

This doesnt work anymore since at least lvl70... once they see you on the minimap then even if u drop it they still see it, well at least the way it was explained but i guess i need to try this: drop flag be4 timer, rinse and repeat and now see if it works

You know what's a better variation to that? get a group of like 3 people, and start trading flags from eachother, so that not one person has it all the time. This way, even if the group gets ambushed, they can still trade flags, and even though someone gets killed, it would confuse the attackers :P I think that this is a better tactic than just going solo.

Rules of WSG:

You can not cap the enemy flag (score a point) if your flag is stolen

1) You are horde. You steal alliance flag
2) Alliance steals your flag, and brings to their room. You still have their flag, they cant score
3) You (at your base) drop the flag, and pick it up 1 sec later. It does not matter that the flag is carried by a Horde person, or lying on a ground. As long as it is not "Returned to base", Alliance can not score a point.

Yes, you can be sapped/slowed/killed/kited/whatever when you drop it. Nobody is saying this is perfect. But it does help you in the stalemates when you see whole enemy team running to your base to try and steal the flag back.

Also, this exploit is not about dropping the flag while running to your base. Its about dropping the flag while ALREADY HIDING IN YOUR BASE, thus not showing you on enemy minimap.

TL;DR
1. Grab Flag
2. Hide while waiting for team (use noggenfogger, sit in corner)
3. Every (Insert: Duration of Time) Drop Flag
4. Pick Up Flag
5. Don't get spotted on map and killed

It's a good tip, so I don't know why everyone's trolling it. Sure some rogue can possibly take the flag, but so what? Jump off the roof (or wherever you're hiding) and grab it again. Rinse. Repeat. +Rep.

Edit: Grammatical Failings

OR u just levi bugg up a wall with the flag in horde base , thats what i usualy do FTW no ally reaches u.
For An example heres lumbermill i respecced to elemental reach and boom just sit there spamming flame shock and rocket hands on whoever trys to capture we allso had Shadow priest and a warlock we keept flag for the whole time.
