You were making a rod for your own back there sanshi.

Good one, Naked Yep, you got that right!

It's possible to walk about half way along the arch, partly under the wall, when coming out of the room with skeletons but just under the buttress when going into the room.

It took me ages to realise but all of a sudden it sank in - it's a flying buttress

You always brighten my day and give me a giggle - nice one!

A Beak for Sweetness quest south As'Arrath, map coordinates 1609:962, I walked over most of this a fair few times - where my character is now being the lowest boundary you can then follow the rock tower all the way up and over the nest. I then later realised a refresh was needed for it to become interactive. I couldn't walk over it after that

This is one of the A Right to Have quests at map coordinates 1525:938 in As'Arrath where the text bubble is hidden or obscured. The Audacity quest in the same area also has text bubbles which are not completely clear of obstructions.

You know perfectly well that Cheeky will call you an egg head, so I will "crack" that joke before she does.

Oh I just love these - got to find some more testing ones for you though!

Today many of us from the HU server reported this interesting bug about at 11:25 am.
The bug is that kecsege is a warrior in fact (check his profile), but this screen shows him as a sage.

There are some berries under the tree here, but they can't be collected because the tree is in the way. Just southeast of the hunts camp.

In Silent Fields at map coordinates 1750:768, I am 'hiding' in the area marked.

there is one in a tree east of Magarin (where the gorkals are) that won't allow itself to be picked up, presumably because the tree is part of a quest
oops, by east, of course I mean West--that other east

Yup there's a bunch of places. This one's south of Greyford. Bummer, I know. But the Tribe doesn't have much incentive to find a way to avoid these occurrences; they make money from people buying gems to trade for energy. That's not a criticism; just simple reality.

Ethel, I didn't say hide. No where did I say hide. I said it happens. It's a bummer, but it happens. A glitchy bit of code that occasionally puts a collectible item where we can't reach it. I never said that the Tribe puts them where we can't reach them on purpose. It's not big enough of a problem for them to spend time on; and why should they, IF (see that? IF) there's little motivation for them to do so. Again NOT, I repeat, NOT a complaint. Why don't you read more carefully before trying to put words in my mouth. I mean, really; "hide"? Show me where I said they "hide" them there on purpose.

I just think TT's motivation for not correcting trivial graphics glitches is to spend more time developing new material for us, so I think they should be applauded. If you disagree, fine.

Exactly. I didn't say they were motivated by the need to sell energy potions, I said they lacked motivation as a by-product of selling them. Not a wide distinction, I admit; but the two are distinct nonetheless. I agree, there are higher priority concerns; but the fact that they do generate some income through people buying gems and using them on energy is ONE of the factors that will keep the collectible item accessibility issue way down on that priority list. Not to mention it would probably be a tricky thing to fix, with the gains in game play from the work pretty negligible. In other words, the cost to gain ratio doesn't offer enough motivation to spend time and energy on it. Add the fact that they probably do generate some income from people making the impulse purchase whenever they run out of energy during a string of quests, or while leveling on gorkals, or during other, similar circumstances, and any impetus to fix what amounts to a non-issue dissolves completely.

So, like I said originally, it's NOT a criticism; it's simple reality economics.
