[Challenge] Master of Climbing

[Woona]

I'd be more patient. Some challenges around here (like in the HM thread) have taken up to 4 months to solve.
Let it sit for a while.

The thing is that a challenge of this difficulty is what killed the thread last time. The vast majority of people simply can't do it and don't want to spend hours or even days just to get lucky and make it. It basically means this thread is going to hop back and forth between a couple of people who solve eachothers challenges, rather than a large group of explorers all chipping in (like the challenge threads).

[WizardTrokair]

Understood and agreed... but I think there needs to be some middle ground between waiting 3 days and 4 months. One is impatient while the other is languishing.
I'm not the OP, and the OP doesn't visit / post often, so people can do what they will... but he didn't call the thread "Climbing Game for Everyone To Play".
Personally think that a thread titled "Master of ____" should be dominated by... masters.

(It used to be people won a trophy for being the best... nowadays the coddle-culture seems to be "include everyone or someone will be upset". Catering to the vast majority is part of the problem with this entire planet, IMO.)

Aye, though I rarely ever reply, I still do check up on the thread every once in a while. Hi.

I agree with Trokair's statement. I did not create this thread for newbies, to get a nice introduction to the way of the climbers, nor did I make this thread, so casual explorers would have something to do in their free-time.
As the title of the thread suggests, the point is to find the true masters of climbing.

The OP of a truly difficult challenge will be the one to decide if, and when a new challenge is required to replace the "impossible" one.

Cheers~

As announced, here an alternative challenge. Anyway, you can still do the previous one if you want to. I just want to give you the opportunity to choose which challenge you would like to do. Here it comes:

Location: Zul Farrak


Start: Green mark
End: Red mark




Rules: It CAN be done only with 100% mount and a few optional normal jumps. However, you are allowed to use whatever you want, no restrictions this time.

Another week passed... here my solution for motivation: [Challenge] Master of Climbing - Zul Farrak (2) - YouTube
It's a bit longer because it was something like a "freestyle" climb without path.

I hope that someone solves one of the two open challenges (Zul Farrak + Dun Morogh Waterfalls) soon... (-:

- Jaburius

Nobody wants to solve my challenges as it seems. I would like to offer a new one which is quite a bit easier. That might motivate more people to try it.

Challenge: "Escape" the DK starting place (WALLCLIMBING ONLY)

Start: You can start wherever you want.
End: Simply get behind the invisible walls that covers the area. (So that you are able to drive to Stratholm for example)

Allowed: Everything. However, the challenge is to wallclimb behind the invisible walls and not to use any other glitches.
Hint: There's a gap in the invisible wall (located in the mountains).

You can still solve one of the old challenges if you want.

I might look into either one of those later today and see if I can come up with something new

[Hazzbazzy]

I think it's also because WoD came out; exploration is a thing I tend to do when I have a free moment, I do like to play the game normally sometimes :P

[Zulch]

Really impressive stuff!. I have never been the walljumping crack but I love challenges, so I'll try to beat the waterfall one

[Zulch]

Ok, so today I finally managed to get the Dun Morogh Waterfall Challenge on tape. Note that I basically started with Walljumping when I stumbled onto this thread some days ago, so it's not ideal and includes some fails. (Also it took me way more than 3 1/2 minutes, but I figured this restriction got removed earlier)
Beside that I didn't use any class abilities or macros and as a bonus I carried a friend all the way up there. Thanks to Nitorious for accompanying me.



Thanks Jaburius for the challenge and for introducing me to walljumping
Also I have to admit that my attempt is based on your sample solution, hope you dont mind.

[asdfx123]

Zulch, I love your version of the climb! Very well done. And you said you are not so good at climbing?! This truely was a good wallclimb.
All my rep for your achievement. I'm looking forward to your challenge.

In hope to see more amazing climbs from you,
- Jaburius

+9 to Zulch for completing this difficult challenge! Welcome to the community.
That was one hell of a climb. I still can't get the more difficult jumps completed. That back-and-forth stuff gets me every time.

And you've got my DJ mix playing in the background! How can I not love it.
The mix is Nugato City, here's a link to the full version for anyone that likes that sort of thing:

Well thank you for the warm welcome and the reps
Still searching for a good next challenge, will host it this weekend!

Yeah I heard that in one of your videos and had to look it up, really great tune!

[Zulch]
