Someone call Petyr Winsome! The Lominsan aetheryte plaza was badly built!

Hello fellow Lominsans! I noticed something today that was quite shocking. Limsa Lominsa, a bastion of building and a wonder unto itself, suffered from the calamity in more ways than one! Upon the loss of her original Aetheryte plaza, the new plaza was placed on the lower deck. The plaza is a raised circular platform surrounded on two sides by stairs, and having four aesthetically pleasing stone fixtures capped with the finest available steelwork.

Except for one of them!

Kindly notice the NW monument, to the left in this image:

Whereas the other three are placed inwards, with their inward-most section sitting within the platform, the northwestern fixture is scooted back a ways!

Proper three:

Northwestern bad one!:

Clearly, someone in Limsa's contracting department needs to be fired, or to have their grog rations cut in half. A flogging is in order!

(This is a bug, I know. There just aren't any places in the forum to submit it!)

You have a good eye. I actually would have never noticed that.

To be honest, a shellmate tipped me off.

It's embarrassing because he's a Gridania native, whereas I have brine for blood. Not sure how I never noticed it ><

Somewhere, a Limsan apprentice stonemason is being punished by his master for that blunder. :p

Haha, I guess it's easily done - whoever the artist was that modelled the aethertye plaza might have just missed that error due to be under stress (there's a few other minor CG design errors throughout the game, like the infamous 'floating bottle' in Pearl Lane in Ul'dah, and the book buried in the mantlepiece at the Inn in the Observatorium in Coerthas.).

This could only have been found by someone who runs around in circles....

They must have hired that guy who botched all those clients' orders that I'm having to fix in my Naldiq & Vymelli's quests.

It took me a second to notice, as well. The platform has an outer ring of bricks, three steps up, and an inner ring of bricks. Three of the four fixtures start on the bottom step and end on the inner ring. The fourth one starts on the outer ring and ends on the third step. On the three that match, you can see that the metallic part of the fixture has lips that jut an equal distance into the outer ring and past the inner ring. The other fixture starts a step too low and actually clips into the top one. An easy mistake to make - even easier to miss.

I can't see anything..... maybe its the shadows..

I've highlighted (highlit?) it here. Bottom left fixture in the image. On the map it's the northwestern fixture. Sorry for the confusion.

On the bottom right fixture, you can see how the metal lip of it sits inside the plaza proper, whereas the bottom left one is set back one step.

Ooohhhhhh, I see it now, thank you

Same here. Now I can see. The difference.

This is going to bother me forever now XD

The Architect.

I've never noticed that before, and I'm generally trying to jump on top of those things when I'm just chilling at the plaza, haha!

This also reminds me of a strange graphical glitch I saw last night. If you enter the Drowning Wench from the south, look on the right wall of the entranceway and you'll see a tall rectangular piece of wall texture sticking out from the side. However, if you approach the texture to try and look at it from the other side (as in leaving via the south entrance) it will disappear. So it's only visible from the one side!

Those Lominsan architects need to stop drinking so much on the job. A messed up monument is one thing, but breaking the laws of physics is something else entirely >_<

Could be a bit of Eastern Philosophy in play. You know, the "Make one big obvious mistake immediately, to get it out of the way, then proceed"

:)

I think the devs need to eat more. Clearly they are too distracted by the growling of their empty stomachs, which caused this over sight. There is proof. Just look at CT Acheron fight. Pepperoni, macaroni, pie and bacon slices.

What music bug? There's only ever been two music themes in Limsa Lominsa in ARR - the day and night themes, of which the day theme is called The Navigator's Veil (Maelstrom Command does play in Maelstrom HQ though). If you're thinking of the original Limsa Lominsa theme from version 1.0 though (Navigator's Glory ~ The Theme of Limsa Lominsa), that's sadly gone and has not appeared in ARR from what I'm aware.

excuse me OP, but i think ur drinking too much rum or ale or grog or whatever LL beer called. Did i read it right that u expect PIRATES to understand and executing ORDERLY, PERFECT and FLAWLESS ARCHITECTURE? u DO REALIZE that LL is built carved CHAOTICALLY from rocks?

If that is the case, then the city would have fallen apart centuries ago. The fact that it stands is testament to its competent architects and builders.

There are perfectionists, even among pirates.

Hell, one would say that pirates would DEFINITELY make great artisans
Naval construction, much like aeronautical, is made for precision. And hell, it must be sturdy, it needs to survive not just war, those boats will be on the sea for long, long spans of time. Their users might be an unruly bunch, but you can bet the craftsmen aren't

Argh, now I can't take it out of my head.

Yarr... can't be unseen ><'

This is not to do with LL's architecture/design or how LL origin or how LL begin build

We didn't talk about LL is idiot, can't make everything perfectly and flawlessly design

I believe we mean SE begin drunk that can't make Aetheryte plaza platform in "orderly, perfect and flawless architecture"

You not read it right this time

The "Riviera Mansion Wall (Stone)" housing item, literally walls made of stone, is made by Goldsmith so there you go, that's who the stonemason's guild is

There are even bigger problems apparently. I fell through the plaza itself a couple of nights ago, right down to the sea surface. Had to run across the tops of the waves to the ferry dock at Fisherman's Bottom to get back on solid ground :)

Llen casts meganecro! The thread lives!

Looks like they fixed this. I just came back from another month-long break, so I have no idea when they fixed it. But hey, proper symmetry now :D.
