[Challenge] Master of Exploration

hall of origins by lost city of tol'vir ?^^

[Strangletusk]

Canaima, you're very close but not at the exact spot, per se. I don't think you're in the area on the other side of the portal, or are you? It's not exactly a huge step to get through though, so I'll give you it

Edit: And yes, it is in instanced uninstanced Halls of Origination inside Lost City of the Tol'Vir (ie. inside the building, but on the other side of the fake instance portal) Parce

You are wrong. I'm exactly on the other side of the portal.

Ah right I'll take your word for it! You must be turned the other way, since I took the screenie when facing the gold door, that's what confused me

You're not supposed (see the first posts) to do instanced stuff as not everyone can enter them.
Just saying, I don't really care

Happy now?

You're not supposed (see the first posts) to do instanced stuff as not everyone can enter them.

So, the rules are:

Post a picture of the above area with you in it(You can block out the name), but you must keep the general area of the area, if there is a certain landmark in it, you must keep the same landmark.

Your second picture must be clear and unobstructed (Keep mobs out of the way, stuff like that) and you should probably post a Minimap snippet, but it's not required.

You can only post the second picture if you are the first to complete the above posters challenge.

Please try and only complete a challenge 2-3+ posts after the last one you completed, to keep the game open.

It should go without saying, too, that this is a challenge for Exploration. You may not use Model Changing or Hacks to get to the places.

@ Nyarly & Dellion: Yes, the original rules that were posted were then fleshed out over the next couple pages of the original thread (which is NOT this one, this was the 2nd version of the thread, believe it or not), and it was decided that instances would not be used "because not everyone could get there". Flying mounts were also out at the time for the same reason!! Obviously that was AGES ago, and this game has morphed and changed over the years.... and I think it is obvious to most that we, as explorers, allow Flying Mounts and Instances in this challenge nowadays. Agree?

@Spoutnik: You really should get in on these more often. I've seen you RIdPEF guys show up in the Hardmode thread, but not much in this one. Too easy for you?

@ST: I knew it was Lost City! That was what I was alluding to with my whole, "I think I was one of the first ones publicly out of the instance". Before Parce got out via the mount glitch, I had gotten out with the fishing chair.

@Dellion, Canaima or ST: I assume you both are using the DMT to get out of the instance? Curious what spot you all are doing it at. I've wanted to make a video of such, but all the places I try (usually by the stairs near the waterfall) require like FIVE tigers. Really drives me nuts!

@Canaima: Wicked new challenge!! Looks like it could be STV or ZG, but who knows? I'll have to get to looking... thank God it is finally the weekend... leaving the office now!!

New:

[ParceQueFraiSe]

I think Nyarly talk about that :

Outside of instances please.
No flying mounts please.
Not everyone can get inside all instances and not everyone has a flying mount.

but it was post in 2008, now everybody have flying mounts and all instances < 80 can be clean alone.
For lost city of tolvir, you don't need to kill any mobs, just DC/blink in portal and move in water.
I know I had made a video with an hard way, but now I have find than you can climb the cliff in the right of the map with the blue wall for help. And maybe now the DMF tiger makes the job more easier

And no Idea for the moment for the next challenge, It look like Uldum, or not

Haha coincidentally the reason I went out of Lost City was because yours was the video I watched right after looking at your first DM tiger glitch tutorial vid - I used the instance as a spot to do some testing of the glitch.

And yes, it took me a lot of tigers. Like, loads. I went out from a spot near the start of the instance, went up the stairs, hit about 8243798234 invisible walls on the way, then went to HoO from there. Far from efficient, but hey, it was my first time using the glitch and only my second instance exploration

@Canaima Thanks for the clarification I can get a bit OCD about this kinda stuff, so thanks for making the quick vid to clear that up!

(sorry, had to do it)
You had to read the first postS like ParceQueFraise did.

I'm okey with allowing instanced explorations, again, i don't really care i'm not playing anymore, i can't contribute, but it still rules out everyone not lvl 80-85 and some rerolls.



OT : looks like CoT4, or Stormwind, definitely a human or dwarf city.

To be honest, I don't really explore anymore (waiting for MoP, if I buy it -I'm not sure that I'll buy it), and for Alake's challenge I was online when she said that it was in E.K., but helping Khamul filming his next video, so... next time

To be honest, the vast majority of explorers are max level anyway, and, in this thread at least, no exploration would be included that would be 'class-specific' as well as in an 80-85 instance, so having a lower level alt of a certain class to do a certain exploration then discovering you can't enter a certain instance to do said challenge shouldn't be a problem. All of these instance explorations in this thread are doable by all classes, so unless you don't have a max or high level main, you can do them - providing you know how to do the challenge of course

To put it bluntly, it seems pointless to me excluding all 80-85 instances from this challenge for the sake of the very very few explorers who have no level 80-85 characters whatsoever, especially by this stage in the expansion cycle.

[ParceQueFraiSe]

I post here my way; video are more easy to read than my english :

make me lol^^

[WizardTrokair]

Damn Parce.... that was smooth.

(but am I the only one that has trouble glitching out like she does at the 0:34 mark?... it always takes me forever to get right)

(and Nyarly image had me lol too!)

(and thanks for watching my vids, ST!)
