Lavender Beds Subdivision - Senna's Pride Tree Shadow is Gone!

[Chase_Tribal]

In the subdivision of Lavender Beds the sun would rise behind the large tree at the back of the district. I believe that large tree is called Senna's Pride tree. During most of the day it would cast a beautiful shadow over the Dappled Stalls area and surrounding area/district. However, since the 7.05 patch the shadow has been removed! I am very sad and hope that they put the shadow back the way it was.

I submitted a bug report post but I want people to be aware of this and make some noise so that something is done about this! It is effecting the ambiance of the whole area! Bring back the large tree shadow!

EDIT: The large tree shadow disappeared after the 7.05 patch.

The 7.1 patch has not been released yet. Did you mean 7.01 or 7.05?

Personally I can't remember seeing a shadow being cast by it in the past and I have the large plot next to Dappled Stalls. That could be due to my graphics settings, though. Have you tried changing your graphics settings to see if the shadow would reappear?

I meant the 7.05 patch. The one before the last two events.

Didn't the devs say in a live letter that the graphics changes would be implemented throughout the entire Dawntrail patch cycle? Could be fixed in the next patch.

This was probably overlooked and I don't want it to stay overlooked. The attention to detail is wanting. There are also shadow issues with the trees on the fringes of the mist as well by plot 28 and 29.

Looking at the spot you claim is an issue for the Mist and I'm not seeing any issues. Could be a GPU issue for AMD cards. I'm on NVIDIA RTX and it looks normal

You wouldn't know the difference unless you lived there before the change (I lived there). There used to be a lot better lighting there and the shadows would move throughout the day. If you go there now you wouldn't notice anything out of the ordinary. It's just not as good as it used to be.

I was just offering some help. I have 14,000+ hours in the game. I would definitely notice something like that being out of place. Everything was working as intended. If you want to process of elimination to find out if it's a hardware problem, that's going to require multiple PCs, a playstation 4 and a playstation 5. Given the state of the American economy right now, I doubt anyone has that just laying around. I can only speak for my own setup, which it was working fine for me at a stable 120fps.

I have a similar rig running at 120+ fps as well and I have a ton of hours as well and 600+ days subscribed. I lived in mist plot 28 and there was a beautiful tree shadow cascading across my yard at certain times of day. That shadow has also been gone since 7.0. However, that shadow was a lot smaller and less noticeable then the LB shadow that's gone that I'm complaining about. This bothered me so much that I moved from that plot and upgraded to a medium. The bushes on the outskirts of the mist on the hilltops surrounding the mist look terrible since 7.0 as well.

There's parts of the game that are currently untouched by the graphics update entirely, such as main scenario roulette. That's basically a drop from 7.0 graphics to ARR. Not saying your wrong. If you are also on NVIDIA for graphics then it is likely a software side problem that only the game devs can do anything about.
