Some kind of a game

[Shintzo]

Aaah Zul'Gurub. I went there myself yesterday for the first time and man is it big. I wanted to make a screenshot with the Smiley face but sadly you were faster Dellion!

Caverns of Time: The Culling of Stratholme.

Had a cake and used it in a different spot, then I found this place which was much harder to get to so I had to use my mailbox instead, sorry.


Edit:
I tried getting into old Thousand Needles via RFK for my screenshot but it seems they put up DC barriers when you jump out of that Australia shaped hole, anyone had luck getting in there since 5.4? Tried a few different spots but they all lead to dc's when gliding there :/

DC barriers have been there for quite some time now... happens any time you're falling, floating or flying "under the world" floating in empty space.
With RFK, just go over instead of under. Try a path like the one I show in this video below. There are other ways to get to the vine that I use Rocket Boots to reach... the boots are not necessary. Good luck!

Ahh I see, haven't really done much exploring since cata. Thanks for the tip!

Carefully made my way up to the highest peak in Obsidian Sanctum, only to discover that another slightly smaller peak blocked the nice view


So decided to glide down there and grab another pic, but cake was on cooldown so it's missing from this one.


Thought: Why not link all entries in the OP to the posts with relevant pictures, for the ones that are done.

I like this thread and the idea behind it, but I don't quite understand this:

(to prove that this is a new screenshot and you're not in offline mode) and smile to the camera.

It's simple, but eventually we will have a full list of places that we can explore.

Why do you feel like offline mode exploration doesn't count as exploration? If anything, you need to be ''better'' because you can't use any items or abilities. It's not my thread, so it's not my call, but I'd like to know your flow of thought

Either way, I have an instance in mind, I'll see if I can get an interesting screenshot.

Why do you feel like model edit exploration doesn't count as exploration? If anything, you need to be ''better'' because you can't tell your friend: "Hey, look how high I climbed!" cuz there is no fcking mountains on his monitor or something like that... It's my thread, but it's not my call. But I'd like to know your flow of thought.

i feel same offline exploration and stuff are not the way of exploring.
you get another feeling if explore without them and beat blizzards map security like invis walls just with ingame items.
+ other players can see you while doing it.
when its done without sorta stuff its like you beat blizz in their own game on a legit way.

I don't see why you have to be such a dick whenever someone asks you something that challenges whatever you do. I recall you doing the exact same when I called you out on reposting an exploration. But hey, you're a well known person here so people don't want to argue against you. Good for you.

And FYI, your hacking example doesn't work because you're not actually playing the game anymore. You're using a program to break the normal rules which nullifies the value of most things you can do with it (note: not all). And I do think ME is a legit form of exploration.

This is a perfectly valid opinion and an answer I can respect.

I've had my differences with Woona in the past, but in this case I really do have to agree with him Dellion - he wasn't asking why you thought offline exploration wasn't exploration in a dickish way, he asked you pretty respectfully. There wasn't any real need to reply in a such a snarky way.

Not to mention that the examples you gave were not particularly appropriate in this case anyway - both model editing and hacking are essentially using tools outside of the in-game to get a result in-game. Offline exploration - regardless of how you feel about it - does take place entirely within WoW (and yes, I'm counting the login screen used to activate it as 'in WoW'), and thus shouldn't really be compared to hacks or model editing.

Now, if you'd brought up Control Flight Path explorations as an example, then that would make sense - as that's another type of exploration that actually happens entirely in-game.

Ok, Dellion was snarky, Woona and ST responded... yadda yadda.
We've all got opinions, but lets not derail this great thread... back to the topic!
