[5.0.4]Get Outside Warsong Gulch Battle Ground Limits as a Druid! (Maybe Other BGs)

[Teryaki]

Evening!

While replying to VoTuUS' Battleground Walljumping guide here: http://www.ownedcore.com/forums/worl...-part-1-a.html I discovered something that I haven't been able to do since Vanilla (that I can remember.) I was able to get outside the battleground boundaries. Thats right. Past the invisible walls! Explore to your hearts content outside the invisible walls (well, during the remainder of the battle)

Some things before we get started, that you should have/need.

• A druid that has the talent Wild Charge - Spell - World of Warcraft, and high enough level to have the spell Wild Mushroom - Spell - World of Warcraft
• Walljumping Fixed This program is useful,http://www.ownedcore.com/forums/worl...o-5-0-4-a.html especially since your racing against the clock. If you're a god at walljumping, you will do fine
• A few Noggenfoggers for a jump (if you want to continue the exploration, the jump will be in my second video, which I failed to do because I didn't have any slowfall.)

Here is the video showing how to do it.

My theory: What is the logging waterfall? A WMO. Very much like the Mage's blink when blinking though invisible walls, if you're on a WMO you can blink though the wall, which is the same with this technique. I believe the server gets confused or something, which makes it think you are not on the map, causing you to be able to blink though walls. That said, you could theoretically do this as a mage - Works! Thats my take on it, I could be awfully wrong though.

Some tips:

Don't go start walljumping directly to the left or right when you first get out. Step off the waterfall logging mechanism and then start walljumping. You will more than likely get stuck between invisible walls.

Cheers!

EDIT: Mage does work for this exploration as well. Screenies since I had slowfall and rocketboots as well.

Note that I am not responsible for how you use this. This was solely found for exploration purposes only, I don't usually exercise cheating in BGs . If you choose to cheat and get caught and banned in any shape or form, I will not be held responsible. Be smart with what you do!

Edit: Patch 5.0.5.16048 (today's patch) Walljumping no longer is possible (or is as easy as in 16010.) This will be near impossible to get to now, since walljumping is near impossible and harder than in 4.3.4!

Edit: Patch 5.0.5.16057: The spell Wild Mushroom is no longer castable at such heights. You receive the "No path available" error. They either added an invisible wall there, or it is simply patched for good

Nice exploration man, that Druid ability to get through walls is sooooo OP. +6rep (when I can).. oh and keep exploring, this is the kind of stuff I like to see

[Teryaki]

Thanks! I am currently trying to find any other BG that this could work in (besides the Twin Peaks one, which has been around since launch of Cata)

:O me gusta! As a fellow druid I can only say.. I love this <3

Part 3 of my Warsong Gulch Explorations. This one is with the mage. At the point where I used rocketboots, its not really necessary to use them, but I find it quicker. Basically looped around the whole battleground. Not much back there, and I was getting reported for being AFK, so I think I will lay low for a while with the BG explorations... You are completely hidden on the map behind the Horde or Alliance flag rooms.

I was getting reported for being AFK, so I think I will lay low for a while with the BG explorations...

Watched part 1 & 2... looking forward to 3 when I get home from the office.

Curious about being reported AFK. I've always stayed away from BG explorations mainly for this reason. What exactly happens when they report you AFK... is it like being reported in a main city for using a glitch??

[Teryaki]

Well, I kinda did some research (though Google searching), and I guess what happens is if you're reported enough times you get a 3h suspension. They look into it and they can decide whether or not to give you a more serious suspension and take honor away (like a 72h suspension) or a perm ban. I don't mind so much getting the honor taken away, because that was not my purpose to gain honor while doing this. You don't gain much honor anyway when you're up there. I just don't want to get a ban for something I wasn't really doing It was more of a nostalgia trip for me, and something I may never visit again. Glad I got it on tape this time, since I didn't really have the knowledge back then to record things.

Basically though, when you're reported you get a debuff that tells you to get into PvP action or you'll receive no honor. Thats like a 1 minute debuff. Then another debuff happens when that other one wears off, saying you must get into PvP action, or you will be kicked after it wears off, and you are not receiving honor at the time. You get a deserter debuff when you're kicked as well.

I've tryed to shroom through invisible walls so many places but never succeeded Guess it's an exception where you did it. Nice find +4 rep for u.

[Teryaki]

Yeah its only possible where there there is an WMO or object intersecting the invisible walls. You have to do it twice as well, because it is one big sticky invisible wall, meaning if you only did it once and moved around, you would get stuck. There is a tree in Twin Peaks as well that you can do this same thing at. I believe I have a video on it too.

[WizardTrokair]

Just watched Part 3... absolutely what I was waiting to see. A shame that the wall jumping was fixed so this is now nearly out of reach.

+5 rep for sharing, thanks!

[Teryaki]

Thanks Trokair! Yeah, I had to put in big red letters that today's patch fixed walljumping. I am just glad that I got some footage of it while it was around. Hopefully this fix unfixes another exploration tool!

I am sure it is still possible to get up there, it just requires a lot more time and effort. And it being a battleground, you don't have much time!

[Teryaki]

This is part 4 and the last part of my Warsong Gulch explorations. This was done post walljumping fix, and requires a druid or warrior. Both druids and warriors can either wild charge or heroic leap though the invisible walls. Mages as well, unless you can still somehow walljump the walls, which is super hard. Enjoy!

Edit: Patch 5.0.5.16057: The spell Wild Mushroom is no longer castable at such heights. You receive the "No path available" error. They either added an invisible wall there, or it is simply patched for good

Nice explorations! WSG is one of the few places a control fp can't really effectively explore because of the trajectory on them and the way the place is built. So I really enjoyed finally seeing what's out there. +rep if I can
