[Twink glitch] Great news, enter leveling bg with xp-off is back!

[Fredbloggs]

I usually camp near house with manaregen bonus. It's pretty near to gy so I can catch everyone but horde keep rezzing because they hope to finally beat me since I don't get directly to GY)

This depends on bracket however. 10-14 has more ppl that stop rezzing if you camp but EU 80-84 and 85-89 seem to have more bots than real ppl (especially in the morning) so it matters not how hard you farm)

One of my favorite screenshots shows me with 206 frags in eots+3 friends who got about 50 frags each. Hordes had 13 bots in their team, we had only 10 because of our group of four) You could actually see honorbuddy route paved with hundreds of skeletons) I'll add that pic tomorrow.

But thats not an absolute highscore! One guy I know managed to get 250-256 kbs in wsg. Both teams had 8-9 bots. I personally did 200 kbs in arathi on warrior.

Those are very impressive numbers. I have run into problems with players who complain about my holding/defending the flag. They just want to cap and win, even though I explain what I am doing. Recently, healers reused to heal me so eventually I was killed and ofc the enemy then capped. I am not sure about the best way to deal with 'dissidents'.

Skeleton camp above consists mostly of casters' bodies (they attacked us and stopped moving), melees lay on the ground) Those bots who were tough enough managed to survive the initial AoE and ran few steps to the right. HB route is clearly visible

After several server restarts, this exploit working again on CN server, patch 5.0.5
pretty weird hum...

The new trick is really simple:

step1: Use BGTwinker addon to enter leveling bg.
addon link wow-bg-twinker - Join XP-On battlegrounds with XP turned off - Google Project Hosting
video guide
BGtwinker Guide - YouTube

step2: Once you are in bg with xp-off (after the loading screen) , then disconnect yourself as soon as possible (must within 5s). The DC part is key to this exploit, you can dc by unplugging your network cable or disable your internet connection in Windows Device Manager, but do NOT use any ingame mechanic to dc, such as alt+f4 or dc macro etc (btw I use Comodo firewall, it has a button to temporary disable your internet connection, really convenience)

step3: Relog your toon, the system will not kick you out from bg now, have fun

==============================================================

here's thpthpthp's new method

Move to elite please!

[danceswithpizzas]

So having read through this entire thread...im still not clear if the original method is working again on,live server or not. Can someone answer?

Also on page 11, Redrussian was talking about just logging out 1 minute before the end of the battle (In WSG specifically...) and you not gaining EXP. I havent twinked in awhile but dont you get small amounts of exp when your team kills enemies or returns the flag? Is it all totaled/tallied at the end now, hence why logging 1 minute before then end of the battle works for WSG?

Thanks ahead of time for any help with this...I miss my 19 twinks.

You don't get any xp for HKs and flag returns, only for flag captures so you can hold flag indefinitely long and just leave battle in the end to avoid final xp. Logout instead of leave is a better option because it allows you to play nonstop instead of afking for 15 minutes with deserter.

I check the remaining time using this macro /run local t=22*60-GetBattlefieldInstanceRunTime()/1000 print(floor(t/60)..":"..floor(mod(t,60))) (it's rounded down a bit)
When 30-40 seconds remain I escape combat and start logging out, it's not hard to see that I come offline on 10-20 seconds till end. Then I wait for bg to end, relog and queue again.

Note: don't try using any DC macros/alt+f4 since they won't make your toon to go truly offline and you will get xp.

does this still work? or is it fixed?

because as soon as i join in (works with the freezed EXP In EXP ON ONLY), i quicklky dc, but as soon as i rejoin i get a deserter buff and back in org....

is it because the dc method is not working at all? (i do it manually by disabling the connection)

Thanks for this. I'm going to try and roll it into my Warscrub Gulch addon.

I've noticed a stange UI bug (perhaps it's because of my addons but other guys expereinced it too). Bg runtime (in the lower left corner of bg statistics) disappear few seconds after you enter bg or reload UI making GetBattlefieldInstanceRunTime() function return 0. As far as I understand it won't affect your addon since it gets the remaining time from GetWorldStateUIInfo().

GetWorldStateUIInfo() only returns minutes, so I'll have to start logging out at 2 minutes and leave at 1 if it fails to log out.

[RedRussian]

You may use some artificial timer (made inside of your OnUpdate function) launched when 1 minute remains to log out and leave more precisely.

The first text in the OP says that it's fixed and gives you a link to another thread with a different way of playing as a twink against non twinks.
Read the OP before you post.

Any notice about this?
