Known Issues


1. There is an issue with the face sliders during character creation. Dragging any of the sliders (except ‘facial ratio’) will cause the whole face on the character model to become invisible until the slider stops moving.
2. Asmodian quest “A Helping Hand” and Elyos quest “A Weapon of Worth” are not currently available. If the player does manage to acquire one, it will have odd broken code in the quest journal entry and will not be completeable. 3. Pop-up message when logging into an account with characters from both races on the same server currently incorrectly states that they will not be able to access the server.
