Hello,
I would like to ask if wall walking and terrain exploits will be possible in Classic?
Such as going to Old Ironforge, IF airport, jump on the wall to graveyard in WSG, climb on the Farm House in AB, AV backdoor, Mount Hyjal etc.
I am not asking if that is bannable offense, I am asking if it would be possible or are those terrain bugs fixed?
No. We’re using the Retail client as a base, and all the “fixes” to things like Wall Walking have been included. Hyjal and the Airport are closed to you.
As a general answer: “Those physics exploits are fixed”.
As a more pointed answer: “Some of the things are still possible using new techniques.” …Youtube if you really want to find them, but they’re against EULA, I think, so don’t get caught using them.
The devs said in their PR weekend that they wouldn’t be taking out all of the old fun things. The implication is that stuff that can obviously lead to exploits or hacks will probably be gone.
I would say that ones related to PVP should not be left in.
-You could get on top of the bases in WSG with the flag, stalling a game forever unless someone else figured out how to get up there too. You could also run up the graveyard walls for shortcuts.
-You could get on top of any buildings in AB. They all had a way. Only the mine was not an exploit, however.
-In AV there’s numerous wall exploits to bypass main paths.
-You could get on buildings in any neutral town then shoot players. The guards would sit there uselessly and look at you. They’d actually kill the players down below, if anyone tried to fight back. In some towns, you could literally cast through walls, nuking players from outside, while they were inside. You shouldn’t have line of sight, but the game let you do it anyway.
