Summary
World of Warcraftplayers have discovered a hilarious glitch that lets fans make their Dragonriding mounts absolutely massive. The visual bug is easily-replicated, and can allow players to ride mounts the size of massiveWorld of Warcraftdragons like Deathwing himself.
Right now,World of Warcraftis running an in-game event forHearthstone’s 10-year anniversary. To prevent the event areas in Stormwind, Orgrimmar, or Valdrakken from getting overly crowded, the arenas are mount-restricted, meaning players are dismounted when they enter the area.
However, some cleverWorld of Warcraftplayers have stumbled into a visual glitch involved with these mount-restricted areas. By entering the area and quickly mounting up on a Dragonriding mount, then leaving the arena and getting on a normal mount, their character instead jumps onto a version of the first mount, but dramatically increased in size. The growth varies depending on the two mounts used, but fans like Gigabear have found some combinations that allow them to make theirWorld of Warcraftdragons nearly the size of Stormwind itself.
World of Warcraft’s Giant Dragonriding Mount Glitch
SomeWoWDragonriding mountsgrow to larger sizes than others, with the Windbourne Velocidrake being the largest, and the Cliffside Wylderdrake being the smallest. Additionally, some regular mounts give bigger growth jumps than others, with insectoid mounts like the Royal Swarmer or Maldraxxian Corpsefly giving the largest. Some combinations even have the opposite effect, causing Dragonriding mounts to actually shrink in size. By using certain toys, consumables, and temporary mounts, players have created some truly impressive and comical sights. Regardless, the massive mount is just a visual glitch, as it uses the same speed and locomotion of the normal mount summoned in the process.
The bug itself is tied to theHearthstoneanniversary event inWorld of Warcraft, and doesn’t currently work in any other mount-restricted area, so players won’t have forever to ride these giant dragons. Luckily,World of Warcraftextended theHearthstoneanniversary event by four days, so they will have until Friday, March 22 to enjoy this entertaining glitch, and collect all the collaboration event’s exclusive cosmetics while they are at it.
