Summary: Mantra animation appears above a bookcase

More bookcase weirdness. I know items appear above bookcases when they're looted, but if you have a Monk with a mantra (in this case, I have Mantra of Evasion running) part of the mantra will appear above the bookcase when standing right next to it.

Edit: it also occurs when you stand above a bookcase - the mantra animation appears on the floor below.

Hey facepunch,

Thanks for the post, but as of right now this is not a bug. The reason is that those bookshelves are considered part of the environment. That's why sometimes loot will drop above them. The bookshelves think they are on one level when in actuality they are between two levels.

We were able to fix the loot and pathing issues for launch, but the spell effects issue will not be fixed as of right now. Of course, you can always post feedback about this in the Beta Feedback forums, but as of my information today this probably will not be fixed in the future.
