Neela (atys)
Actually I tried that a while ago, not long after merge. I thought I might be able to get to Zora that way but it didn't work for me then either. I don't think they suddenly fixed it, I think you may have had an unexpected outcome when you tried it.
When I read your walktrhough, I thought to myself "I'm pretty sure that doesn't work". Tried it last night and, sure enough, it didn't.
I always go through a walkthough myself step-by-step as I'm writing it to ensure the most current information, and more often than not have performed a certain trick multiple instances over multiple days. (You should see my research notes on the New Horizons stuff.) This is one of those things.
However, I should stress again that my issue isn't with the repair of the trick/bug/whatever itself, but the fact that it was done so without even so much as a headsup to anyone else, which puts newer players in a fair amount of danger should there be a lack of clear communication.
YOU knew, of course, to go back from whence you came. A newer player might not know that, wander about, get eaten and then blame me for bad information. I'd rather not have to deal with that. Especially if I'm producing 12 articles in 2 weeks for free. It's a respect thing. -bp
