There are mount-block zones all around the Lava Lounge and LotE in weird spots. They all seem intentional but I can't imagine the intent since you get kicked for not having a pass anyway. Extremely inconvenient for LL. I know I can just click the pass to go to the entrance, but I like being able to bunny hop in or griffon glide at a low altitude.

If you don't use a relic, you're underpowered, so you have to have one. They did say you can craft unbound runes, so hopefully they're like infusions and are literally never bound. If that's the case, then I imagine they'd end up actually being fairly inexpensive in the long run, which is a very nice gesture. Except for expansion relics, which... yeah that sucks.

Send it all to me

I literally finished all my runes the day before the announcement about the change. Adding a new feature that has an effect on builds without also adding a Legendary variant is silly, so there will obviously be a Legendary Relic, and my fear is that it will cost as much as a rune or more. Everyone who has a full set should get a free Relic, end of story. It shouldn't be an extra craft ever. It should be something that's granted to you upon the creation of your sixth Rune (because seven is silly). This should be a permanent change. Though tbh the legendary feature I'm more worried about is armor.

Tried it a bit more and found that if I'm doing an event with a few people or alone, I can get full credit, but in a large group, most of the people there will get no credit. Sometimes I'll bring my raid build and DPS just the Veteran, and it still won't give me credit. I think the "relaxed" requirements change got screwed up somehow and it's doing the opposite. Probably a bug. Until it's cleared up, best advice is to stay away from groups and do the projectors that have fewer people. And if you need hologram kills, do it in the arena. It's faster anyway.

I've participated in a bunch of stampede events and noticed that I'm not getting credit for most hologram kills. Some people in map chat are saying there's a DPS check, but not a normal one, one that compares your dps relative to everyone else's DPS. That seems silly, but I've never had an issue with my character's DPS before. I don't do a ton, but I do enough, or so I thought. Is that what's actually happening or is it some kind of bug?

Kaineng used to do that back in the early days of the game. I don't know why the JP is even still PvP since it's not linked to Eternal anymore.

I've taken to mashing the summon skiff button as I walk into water so I don't lose momentum, but this results in my skiff being summoned, and then the ghost version showing up as well (the one you use to place your skiff). If I left-click to place the skiff while I'm in the skiff, the game just hard crashes. It's tough to reproduce because the timing seemingly has to be perfectly wrong to get the placement ghost while your skiff is up, but I've done it about three times so far.

Fifteen attempts so far, no luck. Must be bugged.

The problem with basing success on everyone understanding things is that this isn't a raid, where you can kick people who don't know what they're doing or decide to just AFK or otherwise screw it up for everyone. What if someone brand new gets green circled and then has no idea what to do? They've screwed over the whole group. A shorter timer for that is not a good solution, it just means it's going to fail faster.

I spent a couple of hours trying to figure out how to get the last two POIs in Echovald Wilds. You probably know the ones I'm talking about. One behind a door in the Brotherhood camp, and the other behind a gate with a torch in front of it that's a little reminiscent of the one in Lake Doric. Any help figuring those out would be appreciated.

Has to be bugged, right? I can't get it to work on anything. Weapons, armor, runes, food, nothing.

At first I figured it was because it was Monday, then I started to wonder if everyone was doing story, now I don't know what to think. I'll say this though, as I was logging out trying to finish up Echovald, most everyone from one very large guild I'm in was in Seitung and no one else had even gotten to Echovald yet. So it could just be a Monday problem.

I just want to throw my two cents out there: I know this was probably a concern, but the breaking up of existing server communities was a really awful experience for me. I know we've dealt with this ever since server linking was a thing, but at least you still had your own people from your own server around. I'm a solo player primarily but I enjoy seeing familiar faces and guilds. The Alliance system threw me in without a lifeboat. I think it could be really beneficial if there were some kind of Alliance Browser system, where you could see what guilds are where. There are some guilds I would like to follow, and more specifically, guilds I want to avoid. At the very least, it would be nice to know what I'm getting into. Could even make for some interesting recruitment opportunities, so which guild(s) you choose finally matters. And it'd be nice to get an in-game warning about the beta. There wasn't one last time and it completely threw me off.

Re-logging did not advance it for me. It's still bugged.
