Getting out of bounds isn't anything new, and I even remember someone else here saying they found a way thru the wall within the first week or two of PC launch.
Does that mean you can get access to the new craftable set in Eastern Solstice? I've been waiting to get my hands on it since it was added to the PTS.
No.....Everything is either unloaded or just not present. My thoughts are, they're going to make it one large zone. But the feel, is that the Worm Cult has a serious foothold on the eastern side of the island. And there's no transition zone changes next to any of the gates, so if it will be a second zone. It's not accessible on live servers. Just what they have loaded in.
You have a fortress with a seige engine on the back, with a marker on the ground that says ZQ5, leading to some cave systems beneath the fortress. So if the same number of quests is added as what we have now, ZQ5 will be the assault on the Worm cult fortress, which is how every end quest goes.....there's always some assault on a fortress in every story, so lets put another one in here too.
Theres a larger seige engine on a mountain with coldharbour crags chained to said mountain, with what looks like a hist tree? On top of it, so the worm Cult's plan probably something to do with stealing a hist? I don't know, I haven't played the first half of the story yet. Going to do that today. But that could be the end battle after you complete both zone quest lines.
And then they have ships on the northern part of the island, so I don't know if they're gonna have a worm cult public dungeon thing where we stop the cult from stealing ships or what not......
And I don't have PTS, so I don't know what's all out there or not. I would think story things wouldn't be. But hey......its what ever they want out there......after I do all the zone stuff, I'm going to stay in Eastern Solstice to see what they add and stuff.
Edit: If they are looking to steal a hist, my guess would be they plan to rip the argonian souls out of it to trade said souls to the Masters for unlimited power?
