WOTLK

Queue for random battlegrounds. Get Strand of the Ancients. Enter a Demolisher. Try to use the hotkey 1 vehicle spell “Hurl Boulder.” See that it does not fire the boulder.

Part of a greater issue with vehicles and stuff in general:

Various bugs in SotA and Wintergrasp

Going to make this quick: Not being able to fire your “1” key in demolishers: This seems to be caused by pressing the key to fire, and the demolisher dying before the fire actually happens. This seems to get you stuck in a state where you can’t fire any demolishers you get into. Disconnecting when entering a vehicle causes your physical self to detach from your controllable self. This one’s a doozy, I’ve only seen it happen a few times, but it has some interesting effects. I’ve been able…

Vehicles are the most significant factor of Isle of Conquest and Strand of The Ancients. This bug affects a major part of the game which is PvP. The only two reasons why more players have not reported this issue more frequently is because 1.) the other side is hoping that the opponents have this issue and 2.) your PvP queues in WOTLK have severely dwindled down with the player population.

Just because players aren’t as populated in PvP instances doesn’t mean this bug should take a lower priority. PvP is the other side of the coin for PvE. The Blizzard dev team needs to wake up.

It’s still happening in Cata unfortunately.
