Weekly reminder that pathing in water in broken

Please fix Blizz. This bug has been around for way too long now.

Not a lot of point posting it here. Do your weekly reminder by in-game suggestion / issue & the more people that do, the better chance of any action. (if any chance at all!)

Thanks for the advice, I will do both !
This slacking from Blizz is really starting to piss me off.

This redirects to the forums…kek

I just reported the bug directly in-game myself. Didn’t re-direct me to any forums. I filled in the message & sent it. Just click on ‘Submit feedback or a bug report’ then choose ‘Bug Report’.

Got it. I wasn’t doing it in the right place. Thanks again.

I’ve had this happen to me a few times too.

Also creatures in water like turtles & water elementals keep bugging out & pathing getting stuck under the ground.

I was doing the mossy tumors quest on teldrassil and the elementals froze when they hit water like my pet did. Some I could shoot and others I couldn’t.

I stopped bothering with water quests at the barrens turtles :rage:

An escort quest in The Hinterlands cannot be completed because the chicken is drawing into the water.

Hopefully this will get them to react :crossed_fingers:

But somehow I doubt it :rooster:

Same for the escort Q in Felwood (the one with the flute).

On the other hand, if you aggro too many furbolgs in north Felwood you can simply jump into water. They follow and thus despawn as soon as they touch the water surface. :smiley:

Back from my 3 day ban to shamelessly bump my own thread.

This is true. Yesterday I aggroed an elite Ogre but fortunately there was water between us and he fell through the ground as soon as he entered the water allowing me to escape unscathed.

Since they’re obviously not going to fix this might as well start exploiting it.

Please fix this! Playing Hardcore on Hydraxian and there’s already a bunch of quests I have to skip (mainly elites). Now I have to skip basic quests like the invisibility potion quest in Elwynn due to this bug.

This is doable, you have to follow the chicken closely. When I goes down into the ground, you have to try to stay as close as you can until it gets back up.

Why you skip that one?
Skip for reason of MURLOC I understand :wink: But skip because of water???

There are not enough Murlocs when half of them are bugged out in the water so I usually just skip it.

It’s actually doable, stay in the water where it vanishes into the ground, the chicken will do a very steep ‘V’ kind of route but it will come back up.

Fun fact, the water mobs in Durotar seem to work just fine. No falling through the ground, no strange pathing etc. This bug is very weird.
