Display MoreAtlas Training Ground & New Patch Feedback / Possible Issues
Hello,
I would like to share a few questions and small feedback points regarding the newly added Atlas Training Ground and some of the new systems introduced with the latest patch.
Some of the points below might be intended behavior, while others might be possible issues. Therefore, I am not reporting all of them directly as bugs, but rather as questions and feedback first.
I. Questions about Atlas Training Ground
- Zone / World chat usage
When entering Atlas Training Ground by talking to 165768 Cael Thorne, it seems that Zone and World chat cannot be used.
Is this behavior intended, or could this be an issue with chat access inside this area?
The inability to use World chat feels a bit confusing, since this area appears to be designed mainly as a training/testing area where players can test classes, equipment and damage.
- Leaving the arena and 1503307 [Gravestone] state
When using the Leave Arena button inside Atlas Training Ground, the character is returned outside while automatically mounted on 1503307 [Gravestone].
Is this an intended exit effect/state, or could it be an incorrect mount/vehicle/state that remains on the character after leaving the arena?
- “You left the queue for Atlas Training Ground” message
After leaving the arena, the following message appears in chat:
QuoteYou left the queue for Atlas Training Ground.
However, the player does not manually join any queue. The player only enters and leaves the area by talking to the NPC.
Is this message intentionally shown because of the instance/queue system used in the background, or could it be an incorrect or confusing system message from the player’s perspective?
- 540004 [Combat Assistant] error
The patch notes mention a new Combat Helper / Combat Assistant system for newer players.
However, when trying to use 540004 [Combat Assistant], both in the normal Itnal Camp area and inside Atlas Training Ground, I receive the following error:
After this error, nothing happens.
Is this system currently active, or is this error a known issue?
II. Feedback and suggestions
- PK warning inside Atlas Training Ground
When entering Atlas Training Ground, a red warning message appears saying that the area is an open PK / Player Kill zone.
However, players do not seem to be able to damage each other there. The purpose of the area seems to be class, equipment and damage testing rather than PvP.
Because of this, the current PK warning may be misleading for players.
I am sure the developers can find a shorter, clearer and more suitable message. My humble suggestion would be something along these lines:
QuoteThis is a training area for class, equipment and damage testing.
or
QuoteThis area is intended for training and class testing.
- Missing main-hand healer / wisdom weapon in the endgame rental item list
Inside Atlas Training Ground, many endgame rental items can be selected through the NPC. However, I could not find a suitable main-hand Wisdom/healing weapon for healer testing.
For example, on my own character I use a weapon similar to 1210387 [Corrupted Celestial]. In the rental item list, there seem to be off-hand healer options, but I could not find a similar main-hand Wisdom/healing weapon.
Since the purpose of Atlas Training Ground is to allow players to test different classes and equipment setups, adding a proper main-hand healer/wisdom weapon would be very useful for healer testing.
- Default flag / language selection in the Emoji Menu
The new emoji system is a nice addition. However, the default flag shown in the Emoji Menu does not seem to match the active client language.
In my opinion, it would be more intuitive if the default country flag / language selection followed the language selected by the player’s game client.
For example, if the game is running with the Turkish client language, it would feel more natural if the default flag/language selection also matched that language.
Conclusion
I wanted to share these points primarily as questions and feedback, not as confirmed bugs.
If some of these behaviors are intended, an explanation would be helpful. If any of them are considered issues, the most important ones seem to be the 540004 [Combat Assistant] error, the misleading PK warning, and the missing main-hand healer/wisdom rental weapon.
Thank you.
