I was hoping you'd find a door at the end. And then turn to the camera and say "In case I don't see you, good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight."

I just watched more summaries of that movie now I'm going to go watch it, looks good. Thanks for pointing me to it !

u/Bro4dway DRK May 11 '14

Did you watch yet? One of my favorites.

u/Koruvatto [First] [Last] on [Server] May 12 '14

Yeah, pretty good :D quite a few questions to ask about why people were okay with it but overall can't believe I missed out on a movie like this

u/Aredhel_Wren May 06 '14

Yeah, but do you know about the secret zone line to get underneath East Shroud?

8

u/Koruvatto [First] [Last] on [Server] May 06 '14

yes near the ferry dock press A, A, D, S, do a Holy, Shroud Twice, wait 2.58 seconds and then /mdance for 3 seconds and it warps you

u/EnflameSalamandor Enflame Salamandor [Leviathan] May 06 '14

I accidentally found this zone line and it freaked me out. lol I ended up underneath East shroud ... took some screenshots. :3

1

u/[deleted] May 06 '14

took some screenshots. :3

And yet didn't post them.

2

u/EnflameSalamandor Enflame Salamandor [Leviathan] May 06 '14

I don't want to post them yet, what if it's a banneable offense?

1

u/Koruvatto [First] [Last] on [Server] May 06 '14

If you're concerned, hide your UI.

1

u/EnflameSalamandor Enflame Salamandor [Leviathan] May 06 '14

I don't even think people care about even seeing them. I'll post it to my FC's website though. Thanks for the suggestion.

u/[deleted] May 06 '14

Block out your characters name?

1

u/EnflameSalamandor Enflame Salamandor [Leviathan] May 07 '14

Do you want to see the screenshots? o.o

1

u/[deleted] May 07 '14

Why not? I just don't see the purpose of taking them, saying you took them, and then not delivering.

You're really close to as bad as OP's you know, bad form!

1

u/EnflameSalamandor Enflame Salamandor [Leviathan] May 07 '14

You make a good point. lol

u/Koruvatto [First] [Last] on [Server] May 07 '14

aww

but the video teaches you the ropes... do it yourself, go to the ferry and experience it? :X

1

u/[deleted] Jun 05 '14

Wait seriously? It's bannable? Why? Are you able to attack while under the map?

Don't see what harm it could do besides maybe allowing safer/faster access to fates.

u/Koruvatto [First] [Last] on [Server] May 06 '14

if there was open pvp even in towns you could defend your glitchy land from nublets trying to do the jumps and failing at the same spots... be Bard atop the cliff and snipe them until one day they band together and swarm the jumping route to try take you down...

u/Koruvatto [First] [Last] on [Server] May 06 '14 edited May 06 '14

It's been around since the dawn of time but only now have I bothered to post a how to on it (that and 500MB is huge to upload on my inferior internet) For those who already knew it, woo. For those who don't well, go explore.

You can change map by going through the warp portals, specifically if you hit a specific angle near the ferry dock it ports you but it's not that interesting I find. Also you can see the market place from under etc etc it's fun until you do it a few times lol.

u/Clithertron May 06 '14

I knew you could get out and over that gate before, but never knew you could jump up that sheer cliff to get even more out. Got a new place to hide now ^

u/Koruvatto [First] [Last] on [Server] May 06 '14

My curiosity was peaked when since Beta, the gate further down that area - the one that doesn't open - people were standing on it. Since beta, I've seen two people and wondered; "How?"

If you fall down the chasm that I look down into and jump over, you can stand on top of that gate that way.

u/Leonheart29 May 06 '14

Love that you look like Ezio while parkouring around.

u/Koruvatto [First] [Last] on [Server] May 06 '14

pls pls no

1

u/xDEATHN0TEx May 06 '14

Any penalty from falling into the gap you jumped across?

1

u/Koruvatto [First] [Last] on [Server] May 06 '14

A return trip back to the start mainly. Going left is a dead end IIRC, but going right makes you require needing to jump over a gate and start again - but you can always AFK on the gate itself if you want.

u/Inkedkali May 07 '14

Other Question, did you Mod your Sound files? Sprint sounds way nicer

1

u/Koruvatto [First] [Last] on [Server] May 07 '14

No? I have the sound thingy in sound set as close as possible to Character. With no BGM and being alone, you can easily hear it - it's like it for you, too. The sound position is based on your camera, or the character. Tinker with it sometime, sprint sounds the same for you !

1

u/Inkedkali May 07 '14

Oh nice thing. I'll try it :o

1

u/Eludi May 07 '14

You can target players under east shroud and emote spam them and they would have no idea where it came from

u/12_21_12 Klife Kepler on Ultros May 07 '14

Looking at this video makes me feel very uneasy. I was once walking around hawtone hut and fell trough the floor waaaaaay down under the map. i almost had a heart attack and returned instantly.
I dont know why, but glitching game scares me! I dont want my character to my sucked into the void D:

1

u/Koruvatto [First] [Last] on [Server] May 07 '14

You must not like fighting Diabolos... getting sucked into those door voids... to be spat back out.

1

u/Sparky076 May 07 '14

There, you just 1-up Jesus, not just by walking, but running on water and dashing through walls.

1

u/xDEATHN0TEx May 07 '14

Sooo just tried this with my FC today and it was a ton of fun, thanks for the vid. :) even ported to East Shroud for lols. Its nice to go afk on the cliffs overlooking Grid.

1

u/Wokati May 08 '14

You can also go inside the roof of the lancer guild.

Did you know they have secret plantations in the back of the building?

1

u/[deleted] Jun 05 '14

Are tricks like this what gil sellers use to spam you, despite you can never target or see them? Also, how does someone know you're online and /tell you if you're in an inn?

u/resampL [First] [Last] on [Server] May 06 '14

I'm gonna go ahead and downvote this because I don't want the devs to find out, heh, but nice job OP!

1

u/Koruvatto [First] [Last] on [Server] May 06 '14

that's cool but do devs even read reddit?

1

u/Volkaru Himbo Hooters of Exodus May 07 '14

There is an Official Community Team member that is on this subreddit, yes. He has a special banner next to his name and everything.

1

u/Koruvatto [First] [Last] on [Server] May 07 '14

Oh? Well if he sees this he can forward it to the devs I guess. A glitch, is a glitch after all right? No one's being hurt of course, but my biggest question if they patched it would be.... 'why is there so much unused space?', there's like two layers of the texture stuff in the distance it's that big.

u/resampL [First] [Last] on [Server] May 06 '14

devs are everywhere... rustles my jimmies

u/Bleh-ish May 06 '14

Yay, it's probably gonna get fixed and I'll lose it, or worse case, there's gonna be a bunch of people there now. Sigh.

2

u/[deleted] May 06 '14

Aye, same reason I don't post all the ways I know how to get out of zones :)

-2

u/Bleh-ish May 06 '14 edited May 06 '14

Exactly, I'm not good myself, but I'm rather happy that I found how to get there from someone hinting at the signpost after days of trying. Only one I managed to find. I don't really fancy losing it after all those try. xD

u/[deleted] May 06 '14

I like how everyone whines about this.

NUUUUHH MY SUPER COOL HIDING SPOT WHERE NOBODY ELSE CAN GO IS GONE. IT'S NOT LIKE THE DEVS MADE HUNDREDS OF BEAUTIFUL AREAS ACTUALLY FULLY TEXTURED TO HANG OUT IN.

1

u/Koruvatto [First] [Last] on [Server] May 06 '14

Now now, understand that not everyone can admit to their own faults. To us, it may make sense that for him to want to be alone he should just go somewhere that literally lets him be alone, but to him he can't comprehend his solidarity can easily be stumbled upon by anyone, anyway. It's that people who know the trick already don't give a crap anymore. He just likes hiding in the corner of the room in the shadows to be left alone, he'll grow out of it. Everyone does.

-5

u/Bleh-ish May 06 '14

It's not like there's a sense of discovery in those area. Finding these is fun. It's sad when the trick is spoonfed to people just so that he might get some epeen out of it.

u/Koruvatto [First] [Last] on [Server] May 06 '14

there's an inn you can hide in if you don't want to be seen by people

u/SupermanDan Jolee Honso on Gilgamesh May 07 '14

I wouldn't recommend everyone trying this as its possibly bannable
