Dissun Mines BScapade

So, there is a problem here. The main problem isn’t the bug, there is one, but whoever made the Dissun Mines and put the entrance so remote from it and where the onyl way you’d find is to stumble upon it and you can’t find it yourself because the only entrance has no freaking correlation to where it is, you have to search EVERYWHERE along the walls lining the southwest of the Dredgehaunt Cliffs. The entrance makes no sense and does not follow any line of reason and is not challenging, it just rewards either asking for help or pure luck. I had to ask for help. No one can find this without either of those options.

So in my long trek to finding it, I climbed the mountain and eventually got ontop. You can get ontop of the Dissun Mines. I spent half an hour trying to get into the mines by getting up here, and exploring the, well, not quite done, roof. I was able to explore and see the mines through invisible ceilings, and there were many places you could fall, but you couldn’t get out of. I had to use a good bit of change to just get back onto the map each time. But if players aren’t supposed to be up there, shouldn’t we not be able to get up there?

But seriously, I have enjoyed this game 100% all the time, and this has been my first truly upset moment, and the bug made me upset, but more so the fact that if the entrance wasn’t placed in an incredibly thoughtless manner, then no one would have had to try and follow the path that’s there up the cliff to explore the top of the mine that we’re not supposed to be on top of.

Hey guys! I am so sorry you have had some difficulty finding the entrance to the mine and in the process of trying to find it ran into some bugs. I’ve relayed your concerns about the entrance along to the appropriate team.

If you could post a screenshot of your minimap (zoomed in) with the sector name (the name that appears at the top of the mini-map when hovering your mouse over it) and the direction you’re facing when you managed to get on top of the mountains, it would be much appreciated.

Thank you.

Edit: For those still searching for the entrance, it’s under a snowy tuft just Southwest of the “Steelbrachen” label on the map.

Thanks for the reports, everyone! While we’ve documented these issues, we’ve also decided to consolidate these threads in a new thread dedicated solely to art issues. If you have any other issues to report, please do so there; in the meantime, I’ll be locking this thread. Thanks again!
