This is a straightforward small side-quest:
- You approach a purple circle (hazard zone?).
- A "balloon" mob spawns.
- Once killed the circle vanishes and the quest updates to the next step.
- The related NPC, who is outside of the circle gets a quest icon.
- Double-click, return to giver and all is good.
I've done this quest many times in the past. However, while doing it yesterday I noticed an oddity. If you tab or click in the center of the circle (where a puddle of purple light is) an object appears with no title. I.e. a white line with no text on top. It acts as if the circle itself is an object or there was expected to be a resource within.
I'm terrible at explaining this stuff. To reproduce:
- Accept "Trouble on the Road" from Aeluuin at Fallgoard Float.
- Move to the quest location, indicated by an orange circle on the map.
- Prior to entering the purple circle click within it.
- A white bar line will come up with no text above it.
- It is as if there is an invisible object or the circle itself is treated as an object.
This may very well be working as intended or just a "style thing" with how it was done (I hope that's the case!). Perhaps as the NPC is actually outside of the circle and a separate step after defeating the mob, it needs to be there. Maybe someone moved the NPC out of the circle and forgot to clean up. I won't pretend to have a clue!
Anyway, I figured I'd report it. I'm sorry I don't have screenshots though it should be reproducable with ease.
Thanks!
