ladyelyssatacotrails's Issues

No clipboard WP after end of trail in FGS

When I get to the end of the path (heart) in Frostgorge Sound Arundon Vale area there doesn't seem to be any instruction or clipboard action. From looking at the trail I think it should be go back to highpeaks.
Love your pack, it's so helpful to me. Thanks :)

Keyfarming

Hey Elyssa
I noticed the improvements you did on the go/no go taking into consideration protocol buffs, thanks :) [the new heart paths reaaaaally make a difference for me]. I did my first keyfarm last night (no tomes guide) and coincidentally today I continued a world completion I started on my alt resuming at queensdale with your pack. I couldn't help but notice what a smoooooth fit a keyfarm category with the relevant hearts, WP instructions and + a few adventure guide prompts would be. If it piqued your interest the one suggestion I have on improving crone's path is to include maybe the dodge chest circle for the dodge adventure guide bit.
No worries if it's not of interest. Here's the guide I was looking at just in case:
https://youtu.be/KV1sku2Vu0A?si=_JIv0xM5rGch6j9I

On the off chance adding major city speed boon NPC's would be of interest to me too :)

Waypoint only path not displaying

The Waypoints Only option does not display a pathway marker in game. A purple line is displayed only on the world map, but nothing is displayed once the map is closed. I have to constantly reopen world map to keep on course. I'm not sure if this is intentional? I've tried on Metricia Province, Caledon Forest, and Kessex Hills and none display a pathway.

some notes from latest WC

Hey :) I did another world completion run and noted down paths that did not have return instructions.
Most of them are obvious, at least now that I'm a little familiar with how it is supposed to work. It was only when I had also made some mistake earlier that it was confusing initially. If there's any here that don't seem right to you then put it down to my punchiness, I do this stuff in long sessions.

  • Vista north of cereboth WP in Kessex
  • Forgepits POI in FGS
  • Alpenzure Cave POI in Wayfarer foothills
  • Chantry of Secrets in bloodtide
  • Rata Sum usability station
  • Dawnside Quay
  • Gates of Arah

One thing that I found a little awkward was instances. After having my jade protocol buffs stripped I was quite gunshy and just left the cities for last, but I noted other places like Chantry of Secrets, Nolan's Hatchery, and um the instance in Straits of Devastation as throwing a bit of a wrench. I realize now that some you actually just hug the door ignoring the entry pop up, but some it seems one does need to enter. In a perfect world maybe an "enter" and "hug" icon or instruction, and/or instructions on where to go next in case one needs to skip it. TBH I'm not sure if jade protocol support is on your radar at all but I hope it is :) Once I started going out of order, or having to correct mistakes I made I did find the 'start' and 'finish' icons could be a bit more prominent so as to stand out.

I really appreciated the more simple approach vs some other packs so that even if something went wrong it was much easier than others to recover from. I hope not to do another WC soon but I'm definitely a fan of your pack for this and for its other features. thanks :)

Suggestion on yellow heart completion trails

I dunno if this is worth going back to change, but FWIW I think heart completion trails should always start within the heart boundary. My reasoning is that if you come across a yellow trail, but have no heart status indicator, the assumption is this is a trail continuing progress for the previous (completed) heart passed, and shouldn't be followed. Here's an example in Snowden Drifts Dragon Rising area. If it would be helpful I can use this issue to detail them as I go but I understand if this seems too nitpicky. The comically high interface size is a leanback thing :)
