Sanctum Harbor Waypoint
This is somewhat indulgent, but I get your point>< I always run off to the beach nd then go ‘oops!’
The way it faces you now makes perfect sense, considering its a waypoint meant for going to the harbor (hence the name). Which is that way.
The fact that the Forge and stuff happen to be near there is secondary and only happened after the city was destroyed (originally, there was really nothing of interest in that area).
Yes! That is really annoying. It’s true that the orientation is valid for the original intent of the waypoint, but LA is in this condition for almost a year now and the forge/crafters are now the primary use for this waypoint, so it should place you in the direction, you most likely want to head.
Either that, or they just repair the place altogether. Would be a sad Winter’s day in the rubble.
