Additionally, we are working on our public roadmap and looking forward to sharing it with you in the coming weeks about larger quarterly updates and future plans! 🔸 Known Issues: Outside of smaller tweaks, below are some of the known issues we're currently working on: [list] [*] Quest objective POIs do not clean off the Waydar when you complete them; [*] Quest NPC Turn in POI markers only show on the Waydar if you're within 200 yards; [*] If you get stuck and have to use the 'return to graveyard' button while on the starting island you may have to walk back to the keep to resume questing; [*] Warden pets have sleepy attitudes and don't always do their special skills; [*] The Oculus Quest 3 has broken player skin textures; [*] Interacting with world graveyard stones can inadvertently lower your health; [*] Some mobs will get bored during battle and ignore you, we are meeting them one on one and will be issuing a performance action plan to remedy these behaviors; [*] Shields behave oddly when equipped in the right hand; [*] The airship crew has been a bit overzealous waxing the ship. Watch out for some take offs as you may slip off! Should be solved once we get 'em to wipe off the excess wax; [*] PVP flagging will unflag after two minutes of play; [*] Some UI text is hard to read on mobile VR; [*] The power of gravestones currently negatively affects the living. Some townsfolk say they are feeling weak when touching them. Until we can consult our expert necromancer, we recommend leaving gravestone interaction to the dead.
