I've found several areas in Purple Lotus Swamp where rock formations - ones present since launch - are no longer showing.
I first noticed this back on the first of the month when I used the gate to Khopshef for the world boss. There was a cliff near that gate with very poor textures and it seemed very different from what I recalled. At the time, I was more interested in the world boss and didn't stop to examine it closer.
This week, I did some harvesting in Purple Lotus and found several places - mostly near the southern city site, where large rock formations are not spawning. One spot 'behind' the southern city has sky showing through the mountain side, and another nearby where trees which used to be on a hilltop, are now floating in air. Although the missing terrain makes it look like I can ride through, invisible walls have prevented me from moving into these areas that used to be covered by rock walls.
My personal guild city is in PLS as well as my main's guild city, so I'm quite familiar with what the landscape should be like. Also, I've logged onto toons from both guilds and gotten the same missing features in each instance.
A guildie suggested that maybe things are being changed in prep for the crafting revamp, but running around Poitain and Lachiesh Plains, I didn't find any missing terrain features in those zones. I'm convinced that it's just PLS that is corrupted. I suppose it could just be me, though.
Has anyone else been into PLS and found the landscape changed?
