Wrath of the Glitch King?

[Serbianbeast]

I had a rough night... woke up in hospital and found out I got passed out last night and that my activities are limited so I had a lot of spare time and I watched some movies about wotlk, and as it seems many players rely on glitches they have found and list of them is quite long. For example: air swimming, breaking "in combat" status, casting spells for no mana cost etc. Another drawback are spell exploits... Have you seen what can 1 elemental shaman do? His thunderstorm pushes back enemies around him, meaning that he can stand on that colossal bridge in northrend, lure a few melee alliance players onto him, and then push them back off the bridge, thus gaining X free HKs. The person that can easily survive is that leaping fury warrior that can take no fall damage if he leaps during fall. He can also leap to some not reachable spaces, as well as leap out of combat, and I mean in out of "in combat" status and charge the target back. That class really know how to exploit. I don't want to mention dual wielding 2-handed weapons... Anyway, I can go on like this whole night so I'll just cut it: Do you people think WotlK will be as good as TBC was, or will it be plain stupid to play due to glitches/imbalance(!)/exploits?

Hello, PTR much, it's not retail. That's why PTR exists, to kill bugs.

Oh, and Heroic Leap has been removed as far as I know.

So, why did you pass out again?

 

[Angry_Bovine]

Not all the things you mentioned are glitches. The shammy thingie is working as intended.

 

[Gilles]

The Shamy thing is rad. I want a shamy now.

Hmm...could Fear/Howl of Terror make players run off that bridge?

As for will wotlk be as good as bc, I believe it will be the same. The things I disliked with BC, and proly will dislike with WotLK is that a level 70 with good or even great gear will get his ass kicked by a level 72-74 with average gear, same as it was in BC.

So, why did you pass out again?

Well, just that once, but from now on I wouldn't drink anything but juice. Anyway, I know thunderstorm is working as intented but it's overpowered. And no, fear wouldn't take you of the bridge. Your char will stop at edge and turn around.

If I had a nickle for every time I heard that...

Ye, but I mean it... But excursion is on it's way... I might give it a second thought...

 

[CMarket]

Ye, but I mean it...

All of them did...

 

[Huurka]

Heroic Leap has been removed.

Unless they made it trainable.

And? Priest's Mind Control can make you jump off a bridge. It's not that different.

 

[Serbianbeast]

yes it is, it's instant, it's mana free and it's aoe (seen how he pushes off 5-6 players and then dies due to dots), but not like that I'm complaining or something, I play shaman myself

 

[~Void~]

WoW is turning into one of those crazy anime fight things where "balancing" is making everything as overpowered as everything else.

Instead of changing a 5 second stun to a 3 second stun, they will instead make a 2000 damage spell that takes 3 seconds to cast and crits around 8k.

 

[Serbianbeast]

Ye, uses same logic as my Tribe Wars, instead of nerfing stuff, buff everything else, tho this is something new in blizz's strategy since they liked nerfs more than buffs till not (take mage and shaman for example)

 

[shaow440]

all this are under beta playing and will be remove when found
this is done so that when we use money to wolk there wont be too many buy that we will dump the whole computer into the bin.

Most glitches should be fixed over the next couple of weeks =)
