Daddicus.6128 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I'm trying to complete the Storm Tracking mission at the end of Season 4 Episode 4. But, jumping around on the rocks inevitably leads me to jump to a position which is outside the map, and that kills me. I can see the ball of energy I'm supposed to jump to, but I can't jump to it. What's the secret? (There's a very poorly worded statement about a bug, but as best as I can tell, it's talking about a different bug.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illconceived Was Na.9781 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 In which phase are you getting stuck? In the first phase, use a raptor and grab the orbs to restore endurance. In the later phase, use a griffon and you don't have to land at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddicus.6128 Posted January 11, 2019 Author Share Posted January 11, 2019 I figured it out. Well, not figured it out; I got lucky enough to hit the right spot. I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donari.5237 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 For others who might find this thread: The trick on raptor once in the long floating section is to keep holding your forward key (or if you mouse move, your LMB/RMB) after you jump. Your motion will be eerie and floaty and slow but you'll land on the next island so long as you never let go of that key and steer to the island.

Daddicus.6128 Posted January 11, 2019 Author Share Posted January 11, 2019 Yes, that's correct. But, that's not what I was having problems with. About 2/3 of the way through, you're jumping from island to island, and all of a sudden, you're dead. There's a very brief message about exiting the instance area, but it doesn't kick you like other maps. You're just dead. I know I was in the right place, because later I made it. I was aiming for the globe, but I had to aim a little to the right of it, and turn after I landed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanner Blackfeather.6509 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 That instance had problems with instance borders in an earlier phase as well, just after launch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddicus.6128 Posted January 12, 2019 Author Share Posted January 12, 2019 Yeah, Tanner. There's a note on the wiki, but I don't think it was describing the problem I had. It might have been a one-off for me, but it happened 8-10 times before I finally got the right spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanner Blackfeather.6509 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Ouch :/ I might have been unclear, I didn't mean that your problem was the same - just reflecting that the instance seems a bit plagued with these out-of-bounds issues :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddicus.6128 Posted January 15, 2019 Author Share Posted January 15, 2019 Oh, I wasn't mad or anything. But, I had seen that entry. And, I think you're right: there's more than one thing going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeyspit.3965 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 I think I hit the same issue as the OP. I realized after dying a few times that I wasn't getting the achievement so I just wanted to finish it. Oddly enough, at one point I just switched to my griffon and coasted all the way to the end.

Biff.5312 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 This exact thing happened to me when it was released. People didn't believe me I think, but I would go 'outside' of map trying to reach that glowing ball time after time. I died about 2 dozen times before I was able to complete. I noticed that the first time through as well, I had moved into the area without obstruction. On my eventual successful run, I ran into a blast that knocks you backward before you start. I THINK I was moving into the area faster than intended, and that was somehow disrupting the normal operation of the area. Either way it was a very unpleasant slog.

Kal Spiro.9745 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 The same thing happened to me the first time I did it. I think the issues is actually if you're too fast you have a chance of "exiting" the map, which kills you. Which isn't exactly great when you're trying to go as fast as possible to beat the clock.

Daddicus.6128 Posted January 17, 2019 Author Share Posted January 17, 2019 I'm going to report my post, since we now have three people who have seen this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaralyna.3104 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 In this instance, if you're too fast you will be autostopped by a strong current (wind) blowing you backwards. Sometimes you can see this in advance because rocks didn't appear yet. If you are too slow, the brand (purple fog) will grab you and you will die and set back to last checkpoint. Somewhere in the middle of the rock without gravity jumping you may also end up in this fog if you aren't fast enough (because the path makes a curve back towards the fog area). You basically have to keep move and can't stand still. If you have ping issues (read big lag), its wise to ask someone else along because you will then simply be ported to the last checkpoint they reach (even if they fail). Tho with a companion along that has the story instance lead (read he/she activated the instance), it may occur that the ahead path doesn't update all the time as it seems its somehow in line with the instance owner even if the person is way back... when that person dies you have no issues in the front but you may be out of time at the halfway rocks part described earlier.

Daddicus.6128 Posted January 19, 2019 Author Share Posted January 19, 2019 No, that's not it. The message (which only lasted 1/2 second) said you have left the instance area and will be kicked, just like if you were in an old storyline mission and ran outside the edge of the map. But, there's no edge of the map showing. It's all just fog. And, I was heading directly towards the next globe. I couldn't get it to work until I headed to just right of the globe. Then, I could turn and get the power-up globe (so it clearly isn't over the edge of the map.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khisanth.2948 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 There is most definitely an edge, that is shown by the red area on the mini map Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddicus.6128 Posted January 22, 2019 Author Share Posted January 22, 2019 There was no edge when I did it. The whole map was the same whitish color all over. Maybe that was the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
