Just ran into this hilarious box in Sancre Tor

I walked into Crypt of Heroes during the Sancre Tor part of the main story line and was greeted by this awesome box of mystery!

How was this missed in QA when it's part of the MAIN story line, or is it just a problem on my machine only?

    I've seen that in other places as well. I don't know how to explain it other than it being some kind of bug.

    I found that as well, so not an issue just with you. Perhaps inside is the "God-mode" disguise for devs who test the bosses in the these single-player instances. Forgot to remove for release. Oops.

    or even the entire object it self, other wise it would still have the same shape of what i was supposed to be if the just put a smooth box in there, that would be a bad artist being lazy

    Some textures/objects seem to fail at random. We frequently lose patches of yellow flowers - but not at every log-in and not consistently. Driver upgrade did not improve things. Our local texture failure decreased markedly after Patch 1.1.2.

    I have 1/10 the texture failure my playing partner does; I also have 1/10 the connection failures. I speculate a link between communications and texture loading.

    I have never seen/had a missing box. so its not ZOS per say. not everyone is affected by it.

    Your logic almost made me want to kill myself. But the MMO community at large has worked an immunity up in me, over the years.

    I've seen missing texture boxes pretty often (particularly during beta). It's rare I see one now, and usually because of a poor load.

    My more amusing ones are things like bridges that don't load their textures, but the game client knows they're there, so I don't fall. Eventually the textures DO load... but until it does, I feel like the Real American Hero.

    It's a physics bounding box for an object. They don't have textures and aren't supposed to be visible. Every object in the game world has one of those.

    It's the missing box. But you found it, so it's no longer missing. Which means it can't be the missing box, but it is the missing box.

    You've just created a paradox that will tear a hole in the very fabric of reality and destroy the universe.

    Run a repair on your client. It sounds like you're missing some textures.

    The box is at the same time missing and not missing...

    Are you saying that the box is in super position!
