Yes you will fall through, but you get close enough to get the hotspot , you just use the landing spot to give you a break to find the hotspot before you fall . In Moul you cant land on other side before falling so its a lot harder to get hotspot (you don't have time to lock on hotspot or get close )

[janaba]

Wow ... you must be very fast and adept with handling your mouse ... I just tried it a few times ...
Yes, you can jump over to the other side, but I always immediately fell through without that moment
or even a break ...

[sut]

If I could figure out how to post a Pict I would show you the landing spot then its just a matter of moving a little and finding hot spot . when I link in I go to the far left side and stand close to edge next to wall then do a run jump across to other side. (Granted since I am a skydiver I look for things like this lol )

hmm... interesting never did anything like that...

Well, I'll go give a try right now. I hope I don't have my 2 slices because it will be hard to test if no hotspot can be shown.

I do wonder one thing. I remember having asked the correction of the bahro stone in Kirel since we can link in city and it breaks our brown book. They told me that since no one can "easily" reproduce it with skydiving, it wasn't worth much to try and repair it even though it is rather an easy patch. Maybe this bug can be put in the same category.

[Annabelle]

you can jump across and collect the other half of doughnut from Ercana. has anybody else ran into this?

snif snif... why oh why you had to find that bug... I went for the easy half...the shell symbol in Er'cana, now I think I have to do the whole Ahnonay instead to try your trick. From Er'cana half it seems impossible after few tries.

Spoiler

This is first ledge

Spoiler

this is 2nd ledge I just found this ledge you can see how close I am standing to hotspot ( no hot spot already collected it ) So it wouldn't take any fancy jumping to collect the 2nd half of doughnut

[Annabelle]

Your pictures are weird sut. How do you stand up like this? I'm drowning in the inactive half donut. I can go as far as under the shell symbol. Once there, I have hard time clicking on the hot spot. I succeeded once in clicking on the hot spot, it didn't do anything worthy.

I don't think this bug will affect much the gameplay. I mean... the guys who can "cheat" in that bahro cave like that deserve rewards . They aren't cheaters, they're unbelievably skilled or... they found the gecko mode (one or the other).

Pfff. I'm throwing the towel... It will be easier to complete Er'cana than keep falling in the starry expanse below the cave for the "n"th time

Nice finding sut

That's pretty funny! You have quoted nearly verbatim discussions that come up from time with Creative Kingdoms about MagiQuest and whether we (the developers) should patch a few gameplay holes here and there. Generally, the decision is to reward smart thinking instead of "fixing" it.

[sut]

Yea I don't think to many will try to exploit this bug, I didn't submit a bug report on it ! The funny thing about this is I didn't spend time trying to figure it out It just happened . If I fell through more than 5 times I would of called it a day lol . It took me longer to figure out how to post the pictures than find the bug
Anna there are 2 solid spots that I found where you just can stand there with out slowly falling through, If I had completed all the GZ marker games I would make a marker game for it (still have right side to do) LOL

[Annabelle]

Yeah reward is the thing! We can work until our brains say "Enough!" for some bugs or glitches or whatever we can call them and often, they aren't no reward at the end of the day

@ sut: See...I'm lazy, you'll have to either show it to me or I'll wait for a "Bahro Cave Bug for Dummies" quest from you so I can see what's wrong...

Maybe also I'm taking the problem in reverse: clearly, are you trying to grab the half donut of Er'cana while being on Ahnonay side or the opposite? AND are you trying from the left end (left for avatar perspective when looking at shell symbol) or the other left end (the left side of my screen when I look at my avatar)? Maybe some clearings could help me retry again
