There's a legit way out of the map and here is the boat outside of the map, it's east of the east arch thing

    That boat thing is the Risan corvette!

    Can you walk around the outside of the corvette?

    Also do you have a better description screenshot of where you can get to the ship you havent been very specific of this legit way.

    Yeah you can walk around most of it, just not the very back, the way outside the map isn't very easy to show, it's just at the highest altitude somewhere east of the arch

    You have to keep equipping the jetpack and pressing space

    The corvette should have an open recreation deck or something, with more activities to do and whatnot. Wasted opportunity.

    It all feels a bit wasted. We could have actual floater racing with other players, a boat that sails to the island after sunset where you could buy rare and very rare foods, the Galartha cliff race where it changes as you climb, underground gardens, steam pools that offer a buff if you relax in them long enough, a massage parlor that grants a buff after relaxing there, and a freakin' waterpark!

    I hope Cryptic adds more to do next year, or now since there's still time.

    Which arch, exactly? The island is full of them. Do you mean the one that is on the right hand side of the map?

    Shared reflection maps. It's easier hardware-wise to just have a mapped fake reflection, rather than one that's rendered "live" depending where you stand.

    Yes. . . I too would be interested in this 'legit' way to get to the Corvette.

    Looks like whoever was working on the map forgot to make a Risa specific cubemap, so the water is using the SFA cubemap.

    Those pix look like the "bug" I keep running into on Risa. It seems if I switch characters while flying, or on a mountain, or otherwise not at "sea level" there's a very high chance that when I log back into the first toon, I've fallen through the earth, and I'm under the terrain. Looks funny, and I'm stuck there. Can't climb or fly back out. Beaming (usually just back to the Resort) gets me back above the terrain.

    It's happened many times (dozen plus this weekend), so much so, that I'm always sure to leave my toons on the beach, never on a hill, or in the air.

    ETA: I logged into one of my toons this morning and here's where she spawned:

    Legit, *cough* who said anything that i said legit... ;) *Cough, cough!* :D

    This is an awesome map I have to say, the location is beautfully made. The Risan Corvette is stunning sitting in the bay like that!

    (There is a small oval shaped landing pad area just behind the bridge area which would look ace if you had animated shuttles landing and taking off from it and the area just forward of the bridge area would be awesome for a dance party area. Next time you do something like this, bear that in mind I'd love to fly around and dance on that stunning looking ship.

    You are excluded from the dancing!

    Because the dance party can never end. It keeps getting bigger. It must go on.

    Can someone mark on a map where this *cough* legit *cough* way is? Ive looked everywhere in the area the OP suggested i can't find the silly thing.

    In fact one better, Cryptic chaps, just open the area up to people, the above screen shots prove its a great place for a party! Open it up activate the packs so we can fly around this amazing vessel!

    And then people will complain how badly made/textured that part is.

    Was this not your work then Taco? Who is responsible for the beauty of Risa?

    No, this was mostly other Env guys. I did a few things, but mostly just vista work. Nothing gameplay related.

    I noticed that the places where you see reflections of the terrain (like in the shuttle bay of the embassy, the reflection of the walls in the floor, don't actually move properly when you move) aren't actual reflections, but looks like they have some kind of backdrop which is supposed to simulate a reflection.

    Perhaps, they recycled the academy sim when they made that Risa sim, and forgot to remove one of those faux-reflections?

    I logged in underneath the mountain yesterday (i.e. not intentional)... was kinda interesting, but I eventually got bored and had to beam back to the resort.
