Invisible walls...

[Zareka]

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.

I don't think this only happen or ps3/ps4 and seem to not matter when you can fly but does suck when take a log way some where and can't drop of just bellow you... and not even that far... i'll get another image or even video soon.. for a spot that i hated... will have to use non-flying mount to show...

A lot of the invisible walls cease to matter when you can fly, I found.

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.

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

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.

Edit: Try Jumping...

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

What coordinates for this area in "The the Dravanian Forelands"

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.

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

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.

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