Originally planned for Halloween, in this video we will go through 5 horrifying / unexplainable bugs I stumbled across in WoW.
Dun Morogh
The first thing I will showcase is something I did a video about in the past, it is a certain location up in the mountains, that had demonic like whispers coming from it. However earlier expansions had goblin like sounds coming from it. In current retail it is completely silent.
Here are some links to other people discovering the location too
Demonic Whispers:
Goblin Sound:
My theory on this is that under the snow, or maybe right on the snow but invisible, Blizzard used to test sounds and audio for different creatures back in the day.
I have not explored this location in Classic or TBC Classic, thought it would be fun to let you explorers out there see if this location was used back in the earliest days!
Darkmoon Seesaw
Back in Battle for Azeroth, me and a few friends were having fun with the Darkmoon Seesaw when Lazsarus (the DK) got thrown through the world. This happened twice in a row. It also happened to Valkyrija in the group.
The pathing looked really similar to a flight path! So one theory is that it had something to do with seesaw knockup bugging out and sending you right through the ground, similar to how flight paths can bug out and go through the ground aswell
Here is another video of someone else having it happen to them!
When looking for things all the characters had in common, one thing that I noticed was that they are all female. It seems unlikely to be a requirement to perform the bug and probably just a coincidence.
This is one of the more intriguing bugs, that I haven't solved. There are a lot of things that COULD be the reason why it happens, but im leaning mostly towards somekind of pathing bug. Could be that when you get thrown up the game looks for a location to land and it finds it deep underground and the game sends you on a flight path down but you get disconnected halfway there...
Maybe female chars knockup animation is different and it impacts the landing location to sometimes be underground?... So many theories
Combat locations in Stormwind
This one is quite odd, Stormwind seems to be infested with locations that put you in combat when you do certain AOE abilities, such as Whirlwind or Consecration. But you aren't hitting anything on the combat log.
I tested it in horrific vision and there aren't any similar locations there!
My theory is that invisible units are present that we can't see but can still be hit, probably added in 8.3 when they were doing testing for the Horrific Vision. I haven't tested it in Orgrimmar, perhaps some horde players could check it out!
Emerald Nightmare
Back in the day when being ressed into the "camera free zone" the zone that is just a few yards before you die by hitting a death wall at deep locations, you could venture down into the death zone but ur camera was stuck far above ur character. I was able to explore the Grizzly Hills of the Emerald Nightmare!
These days I am unable to recreate it sadly... Perhaps it was fixed or there is more to the bug?
Here is the full exploration video!
RNG
When making the Hammer of Wrath one shot video, I felt something was definitely off with my RNG. An example of it was when I tried to crit during the showcase
SPOILERS -
It took me 14 tries to get a crit with hammer, when I had 37% crit chance. This is about 1/400 chance. It isnt impossible but feels like something was bugged with the rotation of abilities, perhaps ashen hallowed made HoW temporarily not benefit from Avenging Wrath crit?
It is difficult to find bugs with RNG, since the nature of it is randomness and that is hard to prove!
