![]() ![]() Collision is hella annoying, as when you brush too close to another person or NPC you are slowed down in your pace dramatically, even when that person looks to be an arms length away. Movement still feels stilted and awkward even when you have your movement keys set up. I have a couple of quests that I know I finished up, yet can’t seem to rid myself of. I was able to find my way back from there.Īnd, beyond mere confusion, there are problems. Once back in I found I was outside the main area and the gates were locked and I couldn’t get back inside, so I ran back out to Novia and went back in again because it gives you the option to go to the default starting spot for the zone.

If you are coming to Shroud of the Avatar thinking that this will be a patina of Ultima over World of Warcraft, you are in for a rude surprise.
