Invisible walls...

I know there have been threads before complaining about invisible walls (I don't know if anything was ever said about it, though) and honestly, I've been mostly ok with them so far. With Heavensward, however, they're starting to really push it.

Now I understand why so many walls might be needed. They don't want you finding ways to jump off into the abyss because, hey, they probably don't have anything in to account for that e.g. no insta kill. That's fine. What's annoying me is that because of this, every single drop is being walled off. Look at this.

Why can't I jump off of this?! Okay, I get that if you go further left or right, there's a hole. You'd die if you jumped down. But that doesn't mean the entire ridge needs to be blocked off!

It's infuriating. The heavily restricted movement is my single big bugbear about this game.

Ps3 limitations.

A lot of the invisible walls cease to matter when you can fly, I found. Once I unlocked flying in Western Coerthas, I was able to land on places that were clearly brown on the map - no foot traffic allowed. There's a dotted line on the edge of the map that represents the flying barrier, but everything inside that line is fair game.

Isn't that the floating continent? without invisible walls, people might fall into the sky and cause more ridiculous glitches.

That's why you put a kill box a certain amount down below the landmass..

Im pretty sure the PS3 would have less to deal with if these walls weren't there

Yeah, the walls are no problem once you get flying, but to get flying you have to pretty much finish the area. Don't get me wrong, I really like how they implemented flying, but traversing areas before that? Massive pain in the ass, especially with the added verticality. There are so many spots where jumping down would totally work that are barred by needless invisible walls.

Nope, it's the Dravanian Forelands. Specifically, the part I'm on overlaps with the earth below it. There's no way, with a straight jump, that I could angle it to fall into the chasm.

Tried it, didn't work. Jumping, walking, running; nada.

Actually wait, yeah, I messed up, that was The Churning Mists. My apologies. All the same though, it's at 17,29 and there's no reason I shouldn't be able to jump down there.
