Something weird is going on

I don’t know if there is a correlation but since the appearance of this sandstorm, when I hunt on Cephonex, there are unusual wildstoks. They are three times the size and appear on level 1 meteorites. I thought it was an event.

It has been horrible the last few days on at least several planets, Tana being one. I have never seen it like that in the roughly 3mo since I started. I would have noticed because it’s triggering my migraines…it sucks. Hopefully the bug can be fixed soon!

That’s a pretty cool video @Kirinvar, I’ve never seen it before.

Back to the main topic, thanks to everyone who provided screenshots, GIFs and videos. I’ve not seen this in game so far, but it’s been added to the bug database anyway. Is there any other additional information that can be provided which would increase the chances of this occurring? For example:

  • If it occurs on certain world types.
  • If the characters were holding certain items with specific boons.
  • If the characters had certain skills, like the Light Source Epic.

I have been getting this also, noticed it this morning on Antar VI (Tier 2). Its pretty intrusive when holding my Light Source Totem, but also very noticeable without :slight_smile:

I use the light source epic and have been seeing these sandstorms

Not everyone sees at the same time, I had others talking about it when it was normal and clear for me, then appeared later. Different planets at different times, also seems different intensity on different planets

  • Possibly certain biomes or worlds? I noticed it on Maryx, Shedu, Imoco, Alcyon, Delta…I just went to portal hubs and started walking in no specific direction.
  • I tried holding different items, even holding no items & it didn’t seem to change anything.
  • I don’t have light source epic on any of my characters/alts, nor did I have it on the tools I was using. I did have forged tools on me (grapples & hammers).

This has happened to me - I also noticed others complaining about it at the same time in our hunt (so same planet). I see it on all planets i frequent, which would be cephonex merika, circarpous and shedu tier.

Lamblis is also effectet, it`s sometimes so bad that you are nearly blind.
Lightsource totem empowers the effect :frowning:

Both Ceph and Finata I had Cardass-strength storms. Ceph I didn’t click until the same thing happened in Finata! I’ll try and grab screenshots if it happens again :grin:

It’s actually a gravitational side-effect of all the new sovereign/creative worlds getting closer :wink:
