Falling Through Map on Login

I might have found a slight bug. I don't know why, but I logged into GW2 in Malchor's Leap, and fell under the map. Luckily the ultra-massive water table caught me, so I decided to explore how far it goes. I am about 27,500 units underneath Pagga's Waypoint, and the sunset looks beautiful.

yeah, happens at times, looks like a dev may have been a big fan of FPS, left noclipping cheat code in there unchecked :lol:

over here we call it 'void jump', usually found on old Tyria maps by parking your toon at a space where it is too tiny for character to render to when reload into the map, then reload again to have your toon dropped on top of the highest location where you left your character; players often use this trick to get onto the top of LA dom before PoF

these days it's very rare, and it seems if you try to do it, it will just reload the toon to the starting wp of the map

This occurs on some very rare locations. Some players have been trying to discover them because it can be enjoyable to explore areas of the map that are not designed to be played.

I had a lot of fun with these back in the days. But nowadays this is largely irrelevant because of mounts and many new invisible walls that have been added since. Still, there indeed are places where you can get under the map.
