Free exploration on a live server [Bug]

[Sendatsu]

Blizzard is probably monitoring these forums more than its own, so I'll post this annoying/useful bug here for you to enjoy until they fix it.

I found this by accident and it has worked for me a few times now, so it's not a one time thing. I combined this with the proving grounds bug/feature to get the most out of it.

Steps:

0.) Go to your Garrison, queue for a Proving Grounds scenario, enter and then teleport out of the scenario without leaving it. This step is not necessary for the bug to occur, but it will help later on.

1.) Go to the Caverns of Time and enter the Dragon Soul raid. I used HC25 solo but perhaps it also works in other modes too.

2.) Kill the first 6 bosses to reach the irritating Spine of Deathwing battle.

3.) Fail miserably at winning the fight by getting thrown off his back when DW rolls.

4.) Press release and you should be instantly resurrected inside the raid back at the entrance. Here's where the bug/fun starts.

5.) The portal to get you back to the ship looks clickable but it should not be working. If it's working, you didn't get the bug -- lucky you.

6.) You are now on a live server, moving around freely, but as far as the server is concerned, you are standing still..!

7.) Portals don't work, so you can either teleport out if you have an item or a spell, or just use the Teleport back to scenario option (from Step 0).

8.) After you teleport to the scenario, teleport back out and you will end up at the GY of CoT -- still bugged!

9.) You should now be able to mount up..!

10.) Go anywhere you want -- you can't die from fatigue, drowning or fall damage! Tada!


Notes:

a) To see where the game thinks you are, pop out a toy like Crashin' Thrashin' Racer and you'll realise you never moved.

b) When I didn't use the proving grounds trick, I was unable to mount up when I teleported out.

c) Don't expect most of your skills to work. You are not where you think you are.

d) If you want to get unbugged, log out and log back in. You'll be right where you started.


Good luck my dear explorers!

Historically it has been possible to blink/displacer beast through walls if mounted/flying using some glitch. Were you on a druid/mage?

It wouldn't matter due to the game not registering your chat location with your actual character location.

We tried to go to 3rd island in Tol Barad. We bypassed deadzones with this, it was f****** funny, but there are walls everywhere :/ we cant find place where u cant go (btw u can go to instances with this "mode")

Very useful for explorers... this sounds like the return of an old glitch, but wearing a new costume...
Which makes me wonder about some of those old glitches...

Fixed? #10 chars
