Existed back in vanilla but doesn’t work in classic! I remember we used to make climbing competitions, climbing the tallets mountains in WoW. Not possible after the wall climbing nerf back in wotlk or cataclysm. Please bring it back. We know it was a bug but it was a harmless one and it didn’t affect no one! It took hours upon hours of practice to master.
Moonwalking
When you strafed from left to right or right to left sometimes your character animation was stuck in one or the other strafe making your character give the appearance of moonwalking. It was in the original game so please give it back.
I’ve actually seen some people moonwalk with the same animation as OG moonwalking. It’s probably done differently in this engine, but looks like some ppl can replicate it.
Walclimbing is less forunate though unfortunately I don’t think we’re gonna see any of those restored. If you’re gonna allow bugs you gotta have GMs to help people that triggered them accidentaly. And Blizz can’t afford hirining GMs cause… reasons
I’ve spent so much time amusing myself with moonwalking, and I’m sad I can’t do it in Classic (at least I dont know how to). About wall jumping, there’s a part of me that want to remember that they fixed it at some point in vanilla, but Im probably wrong.
They fixed it very late wotlk, cata-ish they never cared since it was never a problem. Tbh it was one of the things I wasted majority of my time doing back in the days.
I remember me mates and I used to joke around that there was like a hidden skill (skill as in tailoring, first aid, daggers, and so on) called Mountain Climbing and the higher it was, the easier your wall jumping’d get.
it’s a visual bug only seen on other players screens though. i saw someone doing it and I asked, apparently on his screen he was walking normally and there was nothing special he did to trigger it
Moonwalking was working during stress test wasnt it ? Well anyway to me classic isnt Vanilla. Too many changes have gone through imo. Om still enjoying the game tho i would love it if they fixed the game.
The irony is everybody seems to be randomly moonwalking because of a bug. People may look as if they were walking sideways or backwards, even while mounted.
As much as I loved wallwalking, there is a specific reason it isn’t in the game.
It could be used to exploit parts of warsong gulch (to hide flags) and Alterac Valley / Arathi basin (to line of sight / protect cap points with impunity).
Walljumping weren’t only used to for exploration. Some times you could really skip ahead by just jumping over a boulder instead of having to go all the way around to get past it. So you got rewared if you patiently tried to jump over it. Now you are forced to go all the way around no matter what.
