I recently came back to some classic era WSG only to find an insane number of map exploits being used each game.
There are several where the flag carrier can hide and be totally untouched. How have these not been addressed yet?
It makes the game totally unplayable and completely unfun.
Report terrain abusers
Yea the Era stuff is certainly going to bring back stuff from back in the day. All you can really do is report for exploiting.
People risking a suspension/ban for exploiting in Era is something else.
report and let them take care of it.
Are you referring to things like jumping up GYs w/ speed boost, hiding above tunnel/trees that anyone can do, or rather getting out of bounds/inaccessible areas? Iâve seen plenty of the former, but virtually none of the latter.
I havenât seen an out of bounds since 2019, but I did see it in 2019. Unless they patched it out people probably still do it
if a pet canât reach you, itâs terrain abuse
I am not referring to jumping up the GY or clipping through a fence. Although those are also examples of exploits.
What Iâve seen this week are actual spots that are out of bounds that you can get to in the map where you cannot be seen or touched. Unless of course someone also knows how itâs done to follow. To be clear pets canât reach, warriors canât charge. You have to do a very specific set of moves in a very specific place to reach these spots from what Iâve seen.
Itâs seems to be in my absence these are more well known as Iâve seen them used by flag carriers several times now. It really needs to be addressed before this gets even more out of hand. Especially with a SOM 2 on the way.
If you were actually good at wsg youâd understand that nerfing things like fence jumps and gy jumps only makes the game more scripted. Nerf all the jumps that anyone can do and suddenly druids only have 1 path to take back to base
If you had reading comprehension youâd understand that the point of my post wasnât in regard to the fence and gy jumps.
just press w and spacebar bro.
It is where you get behind the wooden posts and off the map when you have the flag. Only enough room for one person so it is impossible for any melee to get to them and attack them and they are tucked away so that any ranged attackers will LOS and not be able to attack. Only way to kill them is to terrain walk up there and use instant cast stuff back to back. But if they are a healer then they can just heal out of that.
And the fact that it was fixed in later expacs means that it is an exploit. No need for WSG HK farms though. HKs have a rate of decay so you eventually end up getting 0 honor from any kill there after a while.
AB is best bg for HK and title farms in Classic by a long shot. Sometimes when I kill people doing that exploit they fall thru the map and are unable to rez or log out even so they get stuck.
Op, youâre a warlock- basically a punching bag for melee in BGs. I think youâre coming in here asking for things that wonât fix that
report and dream that they will ban abusers or fix anything.
P.S some abuses has been existed from 16years ROFL
Nope. Wrong. If they fix all the terrain abuse spots, you still have 2 routs to take the enemy flag in your base, ramp or tunnel as it was supposed to be by design.
Not fixing all of these jumps and terrain abuses all these years is ridiclous.
I am very surprised Blizzard allows it to go on.
When i have mentioned this to some of my PvP friends (certain ones) say âlear the hopsâ and I can do them, but not everyones class / race / gender selection can. Some combos make it impossible to do certain clips.
There are others straigjt up hacking too
If you just learn the jumps youâll see it actually adds more depth to the game unless you just want to W key from A to B and get blasted in the same spot every time. Easier for coordinated teams to kill Druid when the Druid can only take 2 paths
Cheaters hate being called out on their dishonesty. Reminding them that they are cheating at a decades old memesport is the best!
Whatâs funny about that is we literally just had a 2020 summer bowl wsg tournament which was streamed and hosted by blizzard. Both NA and EU regions were using the gy jump and fence jumps live. I can tell you that itâs not a concern of blizzardâs and it is going nowhere
You are totally right. I donât BG to challenge my âparkourâ abilities. I also donât find exploiting graphical design flaws to get an advantage fair and fun. The purpose of having a damn fence there was to block people from passing. If there is hole in the fence, that defeats the purpose of the fence. So it gotta be fixed. Put aside that Some of these exploits can only be abused by specific races.
I do BG to challenge my combat and strategic abilities.
