A walkthrough of Salma District (human home instance) showing some of its not so polished failures.
If you made it through whole 20min of walking, congrats !
Players wanting player housing should be discouraged by this vid showcasing the unlikeliness of it happening if they are not even willing to cleanup some of these fails. What? No one noticed? I noticed, and I’m sure others have too.
You think this is just limited to salma district? HA!
Went to queensdale and looked at some of the outposts/villages there, its just as bad. This being a starter zone really should be even more polished then any other zone ingame.
Do note, some of the issues are:
-Art assets
-Art asset usage is poor
-Slopes and stairs don’t mix
-Poorly placed statics
-Terrain failures
-“Twins” npc reuse at an obnoxious lvl
Some of the problems were likely created after statics were placed. I don’t think a dev was half-burying crates and barrels on purpose. Its likely the terrain was altered after the statics were placed and no one bothered to clean them up.
Not all of these are easy fixes, certainly not art assets. But some of these are like 10sec fixes (barrel/crate clipping). Some are more like 60sec fixes, terrain.
Sorry if this is annoying post, but I think its important going forward with new zones to look back and cleanup zones that already exist.
Hey, at least you guys have working doors. The other races don’t even have interactable doors.
Asura doesn’t even have walls!
Just to be clear, most characters, including main, are norn ;-)
