Exploits or Clever Use

[Indrct-zuljin]

Cool, even though it’s directly contradicted by their own pre-TBC patch notes and several videos from actual vanilla WoW.

When you’re so full of yourself you think you know more than the creator of the game. L o l

I hope Feign Death > Freezing Trap doesn’t work.

Except I’m citing video evidence and official patch notes of the game in that era. Anybody from the original dev team that coded combat mechanics working on this recreation? No? Ok.

Fairly sure it was confirmed that the Mind Control Buff mob was not a Exploit.
It was deemed put there was a ‘clever use’

The infamous /sit function that was abused to generate crits.

/sit is NOT the same as mashing your X button to both sit and then stand:

Normally if you’re sitting down you would not get Reckoning charges from auto-attacks. However, you could gain charges from random NPCs by constantly sitting and standing up due to server lag: mob would try to attack you as your were sitting, so it’d be a forced crit. However, if you stood up just as you were getting hit, the server would see you as if you were standing and get a Reckoning charge.

TLDR - Exploit or not mashing X to gain charges was in vanilla and it was due to spell batching:

Spell Batching in Classic

Since we first announced World of Warcraft Classic, we’ve seen questions about spell batching. While we never really eliminated spell batching in WoW, we did change how (and how often) we process batches of actions coming from players, so you’re less likely to notice that processing in today’s game. We’ve been working to ensure that in WoW Classic, the gameplay of activating spells and effects will not differ from the experience of playing original WoW. It was relatively common in the original…

Yes, they would. This was confirmed in a Reckoning guide written in 1.10. Doesn’t proc off of npc auto attacks, but it does proc off of abilities in PvP. Couldn’t care less when they officially codified it as it already existed in the game well beforehand.

guess I will have to educate you as well then…

The only thing incorrect here, is all of you paladins clinging to this private server dream. List factual evidence of your claim because everyone else has.

It’s because you don’t have any.

you need a refresher education too it looks like

We do know though. The reason you could trick the server back in 2006 was because of how the servers worked in conjuction with an individuals connection. With a modern client and modern connections there is no possibility of tricking it.

This pipe dream needs to end.

Except you’re not. You’ve literally not cited a thing. I don’t think you know what citing is.

The most obvious exploits in the past were wall jumping which they’ve already said they’ll fix since its unintended.

Fixing classic wall jumping??
Sounds unauthentic it was more of a feature though.
