Getting dismounted in Alinor / Crafting area

Vexarius · April 2018

The crafting area in Alinor is great, but there are lots of areas where you get dismounted just for going through some columns or through arches, especially the corridor part separating the crafting area from the area with the writ drop offs. It may seem petty but if you play everyday, it's quite an annoyance to be dismounted a lot while just trying to get from A to B quickly. Perhaps allow us to smoothly ride through all these areas.

I reported this in-game because of the same motive, it's bad for crafters when going from Bank/Wayshrine to the Crafting Hub.

That area in front of the crafting area is intentionally dismounting. It's to prevent players from sitting on mounts in front of the stations and interfering with using the stations and vendors.
Just try and mount in the crafting area itself where it is open air above and you will see. You can't mount there either.

The bigger issue where this actually is a problem would be certain staircases or open air places where it dismounts you for no reason. Those are around Alinor and Shimmerene at the gate.

If that’s the case, It should only dismount you in the outer ring of the crafting area where the stations actually are and not in the main space or the corridor.

The other buggy bit is on the stairs leading down from the daily quest guy and crafting vendors to the river with bridges in front of the crafting area.

The two stairways closest to the crafting area on the way to the bank and wayshrine are quite annoying. Pass too close to the side of the stairs against buildings and there's overhangs and such that dismount you. Skirt along the edge of the stairs closer to the free side and its usually fine. It is very arbitrary and there's no clear demarcation as to where the demount/not demounted boundary is on those external, outside stairs. They should just be fixed to allow uninterrupted riding.

Personally the twisting corridor seems of little actual purpose especially since the crafting station areas proper also forces demounting. It makes the area also an annoyance when trying to get through quickly.

There are a lot of dismount bugs in the PTS right now in general and specifically in many parts of Summerset. Hard to tell which are intended and which are bugs but I'm fine with the inner crafting area being a mount-free zone. I prefer it that way actually.

Still getting dismounted on entering Alinor crafting area, as a QoL issue can we ride the length of this outdoor area & at worst get dismounted when right next to a station/fire etc as per other crafting areas.

Didnt see much problem (actually no problems at all) from mounted players in other locations like Vivec doing 6x15 dailies every day, so I dont understand why this is an issue. Whats a real issue though is summoning combat pets in writs turn-in areas. I come across unintentionally or intentionally blocked thus uninterractible turn-in boxes every day. Trolls are here also, I was even forced to change mirror once
