Heroic Atramedes Abuse

1. The situation


Several days ago, in the first night attempting Heroic Atramedes, we found a serious bug/exploit in the encounter that can greatly reduce the difficulty. We contacted a GM and sent emails to Blizzard, but since WoW hasn't been bound to the battle.net in the region of Taiwan yet, we didn't have access to the official bug report forum so we got no serious replies, except for some templates. So we decided to reveal it to the community now.



As can be seen in the picture and video below

How to mute Heroic Atramedes


 

  1. Atramedes' skill “Modulation” can be totally ignored in certain areas, e.g., behind the wall near the entrance. 
  2. Those disks from Sonar Pulse will rebound rather than pass through the wall, so the players behind the wall can ignore them.
  3. Atramedes will stop casting Sonic Breath if the target is not in his sight (e.g., behind the wall), so this skill can be ignored as well.

 

 In short, this encounter can be easily exploited by hiding behind the wall near the entrance (or any other similar locations), which we believe is not an intended strategy one could use to beat the encounter. 

 We would really appreciate if Blizzard could fix this bug/exploitation as soon as possible and take actions to those players who have exploited this encounter and killed the boss illegally. 


2. About using bug/exploitation in the race

As one of the oldest PFU guilds, we have bad memories regarding the exploits, and still feel uncomfortable about what happened in the Heroic Anub'arak encounter. We love World First, but we don't want to abuse it in this way. We hope that the other top guilds, who respect the race and compete with honor, could share this dignity with us.


Once again; we hope Blizzard can give 5 million Chinese-speaking WoW players a beta/PTR server. Because WE CAN HELP. Many of these problems could be fixed before going live if we were there.
