Far Sight lets you go EVERYWHERE. But not the Ocean Floor

Far Sight is a ridiculously busted ability. It doesn’t let you DO anything but you can SEE anywhere. You can clip against walls or floors and just go straight through them after a few clicks. You can go across continents and it never stops you - just starts doing quick 1s loading screens once you get out of range of yourself. You can see an unloaded world. You can see WIP areas outside of the play area of dungeons. You can see beneath the world. There’s a whole 'nother cave system floating like 1000 yards above Neltharion’s Lair (inside the instance). De Other Side has a completely trippy and flipped upside down… what looks like Nazmir from BfA on the outside. You can see that all with Far Sight.

And yet, if you try to Far Sight along the Sea Floor around the edges of the Eastern Kingdoms (and presumably elsewhere), it forcibly cancels the spell and returns you to yourself.

There is no endless pit from the short trip I CAN peek at - it’s just flat boring ground. I can actively get under the world. It lets me. But looking at the sea floor? The game says “No”.

So what doesn’t Blizzard want us to see? :slight_smile:

nothing. you can literally go out there. the land ends and you get stuck. then it teleports you to the barrens or westfall.

I mean, I’m mostly joking - but what you’re saying is the -edge- of the world, not the sea floor. Yeah, the edge of the world is sticky flypaper.

I’ve never messed around with Far Sight that much myself, but is it possible that your vision is crossing the game’s kill zone boundary by trying to view too far down?

I know in the ICC instance, right after you land from the Gunship fight, the snowy land below you is right around that area’s kill zone. If you’re unable to view down to Crystalsong from there, it might be because of that.

Maybe there’s Void Leviathans down there :dracthyr_tea:
