Soulforged steel beacon

Post by Hiracho »

The community server has made a tier 4 soul forged steel beacon last week. But sometimes it just doesn't work. There is no message about being too far away or the beacon not being there, you just randomly hardcore spawn. We tried triggering it manually to no avail. Different dimensions work fine. Multiple people connected didn't stop someone connected earlier to spawn at the beacon. Logging out in between didn't stop it either.

Is there some mechanic that lets the beacon not work 100% of the time, or after a certain time? All the errors seem to give you a message. It is confusing that this random HC spawn doesn't go with a message but at the same time it's been the furthest We've been up the tech tree and it's all new terrain. Wouldn't want to assume it's a bug.

We've managed to reproduce it. going through the end portal back to original spawn seems to reset being bound to a beacon. Is this intended?

Nope, I'll take a look.

Yup, it looks like what you identified was correct and the bound respawn location was getting cleared whenever you returned from the end. Fixed for next release.
