[Darkmoon Tiger] Early start in Arathi Basin (no teleport!)

[WizardTrokair]

If it was bugged, I think it would be strange to be bugged for more than one game though. Check the Darkmoon Tiger thread in the Exploration forum... there is a point in that video where it shows me doing it again. I did it in three different games total (but all during the same night and WoW session... I never logged off). It would be a huge disappointment (and very confusing to me) if this was just bugged for me and only for one night. :confused:

I tried about an hour after you posted the video, and there seemed to be a teleport field in place, so I'm not quite sure what the deal was with your particular instance.

Tried these 3 times yesterday on Alliance EU, i got teleported back all times

[WizardTrokair]

I feel a bit embarrassed... thought I found something significant here and I haven't even had one person confirm that they got it to work...

Where does that leave us here? Should I have a MOD close this thread?

I'll see if I can get a friend with a 2-seater to join me in a BG tonight. I'm out of Tigers, but at this point I really need to see this teleport field working again for myself...

[Synrithh]

I'll test it out tomorrow and see if I succeed with the tiger.

[Synrithh]

Tried it out several times, by going different ways aswell and on 2 characters, got teleported back to base every time, Alliance, EU.

neat 10 chars

Ah well...thanks Synrithh. I think we'll just have to chalk this one up to either a fluke in my BGs (3 in a row, wtf), or some sort of bug that was quickly fixed by Blizzard. Ah well, I'm sure I made at least one person's day when I capped those two nodes early!

[WizardTrokair]

Sorry to bump this thread...

...but I'm not sure that this was a fluke. This "teleporter" must go down periodically... as I got though it again last night.

[begin cool story bro]
Someone left a comment on my video last night that this was working again, only that they had to "go right toward the mine and jump in the water... then jump out of the water at the bridge"... or something to that effect. Well that didn't make sense to me (as the mine is to the left and any water would be to the right)... but I figured I would try it for myself. I went through the fence and then stuck to the fence, running left toward the Goldmine. Once I hit the side of the mountain I started running south, and I made it to the Goldmine and capped it early! Thinking I need to try this again and knowing what happened last time, I drop the BG and wait my 15 minutes... go into another AB and do it again, only this time after sticking to the fence and then running a bit south, I run toward the Stables and cap that first, then run and cap the Goldmine right as the gates open! I got both BGs on video.

Now I call a friend and tell him to try it, and I log off the game to make a video for my youtube. I finish the video and he calls back to say it is not working, and there is a teleporter every way he runs. I figure he's just doing it wrong, but I log in and try myself... and yes, teleporter every way I go. It's farther out than it was before, I can get past the fence and toward the Goldmine a bit, or almost to the river running the other way...but clearly the teleporter is now back, and I just made a video for nothing! Reminds me of this thread and what happened to me last time...But my point, the thing that stuck with me this time... is that this 'teleporter' seems to have downtime. Sometimes it is simply not there, or only in certain directions (right in front of the gate going forward). It worked for me a few months ago. It worked for me again last night. I think, if we keep an eye on it... we can get through this again.

Could it be there for a certain part of time ie: just before it starts or long before the battle starts?

[advanta]

Just curious: was there a lag spike? I'm thinking you might have lost connection briefly when entering the teleport zone, which would cancel the effect, then reconnected when you were outside it (perhaps the teleport zone only covers a certain area). This would at least explain why the teleport stops working on a random and intermittent basis. Might be an idea to try this with netlimiter or just a straight disconnect.

[WizardTrokair]

I typically have a very good connection. My computer rarely lags. It could have been... but things seemed pretty smooth on my end, and I did it two games in a row no problem. Not sure...

I'm thinking it is more like Valemas said... that there is a certain times when it just drops... like maybe just a glitch on their end, or before a patch or reset Tuesday or something... I honestly have no idea. Just wanted to point out that I did it successfully again, which means there could be a pattern to be found.

Honestly it is just a theory, so probably I shouldn't be here bumping this thread with it (NO THEORIES!)... but thought it was odd that someone posts on my channel that this works again... so I go try and it definitely worked again, twice. I felt the need to mention it, for those that look for this sort of thing (which is not really my bag).
