...and one giant step for anyone who likes going off-map.

There's a new glitch associated with Evasion, if you're unaware. Used that to fulfill a goal, shared by Malogg and I. I have accomplished going off-map in all three Homesteads!

For anyone curious, after the small mountain range, and set of props, there's literally nothing. DevCAT didn't even bother making the usual obscurely-shaped mountains. It's just...flat, and a lot of it.

I like how you did the picture.

I was curious and I checked it out a few days ago. Painful to walk to all without mounts or a minimap. x_x

I must have gotten used to it, being offmap so often. :lol:
Granted, you can't even use land mounts. I'm an elf though, so...

*clapclapclap* Exploring the outer edges of a map is amusing. c:

Spending all day exploring the unknown paper figures such as trees and mountains. Hum, it's great.

Mabi seems less fun when you can walk through everything.

(Coughs) Lance Assault Slash (Coughs)

But I'm not aware of the Evasion one.

The Assault Slash glitch doesn't work that well in homesteads, sadly. There's two walls on the outer edge of homesteads, and you can't bring your partner past the first one with a pet. You need three people, just to get one person in. :c

I've been up and over the mountains near the rafts... all the way north into vales (at least the minimap says so) then off the minimap to a giant WHITE area. I'll upload a pic at some point tonight

Yeah, I've been there too. Some of the stuff you find offmap is really weird. xD

.... you were stuck in the white area too? Its completely white and because theres no texture once you start running or walking you can't stop theres no coding that says when left click is let go you stop... (or you could look at it from the point of X and Y's there are none so you never hit the destination clicking in front of you to us is like clicking to an infinite range to the game lol)

I can't get outside though. I keep trying.

Not stuck. I know how to navigate it. But yeah, the area where there's no ground.

The game directs your character to the field point specified. Basically, your click specifies a location with a coded 'line' that originates from your cursor. This way, you can climb mountains and such. While off in the void (as I refer to it), there is no 'floor' object to interrupt that line, so the line stretches to its full length, and specifies an X-Z coordinate to travel to. Since it stretched so far, it's essentially the same thing as clicking really far away from your character. Because of this, a single click while in the void will leave your character running for quite some time, but it will eventually stop.

For navigational purposes, you can halt your character early by having your character perform another animation (Swap weapons, sit, gesture, etc.), and you can change directions by redirecting your camera. Your character will run in the direction your camera is facing when you click.
