Bendovr from Dragonmaw exploiting the Stable Roof

cd34 — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 21:18:21 +0000

Bendovr, a Night Elf Druid from Dragonmaw got on top of the roof at stables. It takes a little creative work to kill players that get up there, but, they usually do quite a bit of damage before they are killed.

Relicc from Eldre’Thalas exploiting Stable

cd34 — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 21:15:46 +0000

Relicc, a gnome mage from Eldre’Thalas got on top of the roof at stables to try and kill people. Luckily, a few drain manas and a well timed dot while he tried to evocate and he died pretty quickly.

It appears that they can be mounted and hit the little shed on the graveyard side of the stable and walk up the edge with a well timed jump. From there, they get on top.

Darthviolent exploits the Stable Roof

cd34 — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 04:38:02 +0000

Darthviolent from Shadowsong exploited the roof of the Stables in Arathi Basin. Perhaps he forgot he was a warrior and not a caster as we all just dotted him and killed him with ease.

Remember, if you’re going to exploit, at least be of a class that can do something from up there.

World of Warcraft adds Farms!

cd34 — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 05:15:40 +0000

The mac has some interesting terrain issues from time to time no matter what the settings, but, when running through STV on the PTR, the road was impossible to find and was covered with farmland.

A new skill? I didn’t see it in the talent tree. Perhaps I should find a trainer to see where I can learn farming.

Stormwind Mailbox Glitches

cd34 — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 23:23:22 +0000

On the PTR, the capital cities have new mailboxes, however, most have incorrect names like Doodad_humanmailbox15 or Doodad_humanmailbox16. Unlike the Barber Chairs that are faction specific, the mailboxes are not Faction Specific so, while raiding Stormwind or Ironforge, you can stop to check your Auction House mail.

Odd Icethorn Location in Storm Peaks

While collecting Herbs in Storm Peaks, life found a way.

It’s Dark in Orgrimmar

cd34 — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 04:35:15 +0000

I logged into one of my alts today and someone turned out the lights in Orgrimmar. I’m reasonably sure it was just a graphics card glitch as I was able to move around, interact with NPCs and the mailbox, but, I couldn’t see anything.

/console reloadui

didn’t fix the problem, but, logging out and back in did.

Primitive Owlbeast Glitch

cd34 — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 17:23:05 +0000

While Herbskinner was helping Qwaitxfour quest in the Hinterlands, we came across a Primitive Owlbeast in the water. Unlike most glitched mobs that evade when you shoot them, this one actually had the swimming animation, but, did evade when we tried to shoot it and even got into melee range.

Owlbeasts can swim…. who knew?

Another Wintergrasp, another glitched win for the Alliance

cd34 — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 17:33:30 +0000

Horde on Cho’gall defends poorly. Out of perhaps 30 games where we have defended, I can think of only a handful where we have successfully defended.

Once an outer wall is breached, because the glitch exists, more people need to fall back to prevent vehicles from coming in. The guns need to be manned and defended and every vehicle that makes it into the outer courtyard needs to be destroyed. Once they get into the inner courtyard, the Demolishers can fire off shots while being destroyed, but, still hit the inner door exposing the relic. Because the opposing faction resurrects near the Workshop, they are able to almost immediately bring in another vehicle. The stream of Demolishers coming in gets to the point where even though only one or two shots make it to the door, enough damage gets done that they do eventually break down the wall.

If you couldn’t send Demolishers through the wall, defending Wintergrasp would be much easier. The Alliance on Cho’gall have destroyed the inner courtyard walls a number of times, but, usually after they have sent 10-15 Demolishers through and still haven’t knocked down the relic wall.

Since so many of them are getting good at glitching the walls, they aren’t even taking the time to do much more than build a few siege engines from one side or the other, then, they just have a constant stream of demolishers sent on the way.

More Alliance Glitching in Lake Wintergrasp on Cho’gall

cd34 — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 07:06:25 +0000

A few names consistently show up with glitchers. In the first picture, you can clearly see Barlar’s demolisher is laying on its side going through the door. The second shot shows the resulting map after Horde lost control. Note that only the exterior walls are down and the interior walls have not been touched.

The third and fourth screenshots show more vehicles inside the inner courtyard with 1 wall half damaged and the resulting map after Horde lost control. Dezi was the one piloting the demolisher in this battle.

Blizzard’s stance appears to be that this is intended behavior. For more information, here is a page that details more Wintergrasp Glitches. Horde usually doesn’t even try to glitch as it really isn’t necessary. We usually have 3-4 full raid groups and outnumber the Alliance. Even with Tenacity, a mass of 30 horde will roll through 10 defenders fairly quickly.
