Be wary of the “unstuck button”

[Frostbølt-stormrage]

I’m just the messenger on this, but just giving out a warning.

I was a gnome, doing stuff in Dun Murogh, and I found a fallen tree. There was a gap between the tree and the ground, and I thought “oh I’m small, I can go through that.”

Nope. I got stuck, like actually stuck in place. I also don’t have Blink yet.

I went to the Support tab, and navigated to the unstuck option. It states that it will quickly log me out, and place me into a “safe location” away from harm… so, where did it place me?

It placed me in the teleport room for Horde players for GNOMEREGAN. It actually put me in an even more unsafe place, with troggs that are skull-level for my, at the time, Lvl 15-18 mage. If I exited the little room I was in, I’d be more than dead. And, my hearth was still on a half hour CD.

So… I mean, just be careful is all. Has anyone else had weird issues like this? Blizz teleported me into a death trap… maybe a HC feature? Lmao.

Somebody the other day said that using that feature while his character was in the ogre cave in STV plopped him just outside ZG.

Character stuck service - MAJOR ISSUE

Hey. My ISP was undergoing maintenance today and I dced from the game for an extended period of time. I was in the Mosh’Ogg Ogre Mound in STV. I resorted to using the character stuck service, which says it will port me to a nearby safe graveyard. It however did not port me to safe graveyard, instead it teleported me to the worse place it could possibly send me to. It sent me outside of Zul’gurub. Luckily the trolls were patting away and I had time to hearth, however if the pat was by the entran…

They should look into this, and have the unstuck service port you to your faction city, or something. The graveyards aren’t even a thing in HC.

I admit though, it was funny. My buddies didn’t believe me except for whom I was in a party with. They sent a 33 to come “rescue” me, but I couldn’t leave the room or else I was dead meat lmao

Was your hearthstone on cd as well?
Anyway good reporting I’ll just hearth out if I’m stuck

This was years ago but I thought the unstuck button would return you to your starting zone. Strange that they changed it.

[Frostbølt-stormrage]

Yeah! When I ported using the feature, my hearth still had about 30-40 mins on CD. So… literally the only option, was to fully log out in that little jail cell of a room, and touch grass.

A player made a post on reddit about them using unstuck when they got stuck in the kobold cave on the east side of arathi highlands, and it dropped them into the horde town in aggro range of the guards which immediately killed them.

Unstuck is not safe.

People would just use the unstuck as a teleport so you would have to put a huge cooldown on it. The safe room they dumped you in was fine as you could of waited there until your hearthstone came off CD.

no, people would abuse a working unstuck button, you go AGANE

Hello everyone. I’m gonna clear up some things about “unstuck”.

On retail and previous classic (1.13.X) using the feature would port you to your faction’s major city, Stormwind or Orgrimmar. It appears to have changed to port you to the closest graveyard, regardless of faction, for Hardcore (1.14.4).

There use to be a considerable cooldown, 72 hours, on this ability but that appears to have been removed with this latest update.

It’s VERY possible that the updated form of the service is bugged on Hardcore Classic.
