Alright, I've been playing the game for a while, though this will be my first forums post. It's a fairly long one, too:
I was trying to craft some spellshards down at the bluffs today, and noticed something very odd: There seemed to be a tree sitting right over the crafting machines. Being a curious dragon, I head closer to investigate this, and I am shocked when the whole thing disappears. Had I imagined it? I got a bit closer and noticed that my entire field of view was flickering badly, and the tree was flickering in and out as well. There also seemed to be a 'ghost-me' running in place just in front of the machine hut. Maybe it was haunted?
It was all very disturbing, so I headed back out into the field to dig some stone and settle my nerves as well. However, the flicker-effect was following me, turning me invisible, and 'disappearing' the stone outcroppings, too.
At this point, I figure that re-logging should fix this. I do so, and the flicker stays, though this time it wants me to believe there is a lair entrance over the machines instead. So, I try re-logging again, this time over in Kion. Game loads, no issues, no flickers anywhere. I travle to the Bluffs again, no flickers. I get close to the machines.....and it starts to flicker again. So now i have to wonder: are the Bluffs haunted, or just selectively glitchy? Because no one I've talked to sees the same thing at all.
And, because I though people would get a kick out of this, I have screenshots to prove it. One set of me standing in one spot on the field and turning a circle so you can see what the field is like, and one set of the machines being 'eaten' by the ghost-tree. Follow the link at the bottom to my DevArt gallery, and it's better to start at the bottom of the list and work up. Have fun, and I hope you get a laugh out of this.
