I just started exploring this area, and I'm having a blast. A bunch of critters at my skill level that are skinnable and eatable! But I've noticed that the number of pelts/skins provided seems a bit low.
The banded green bog serpent is great. It's a 10' long snake that gives you five skins and eight pieces of meat.
The giant bat's body is over a foot long, but it only provides one pelt and two pieces of meat. Maybe a foot long isn't that large.
The giant salamander is over six feet long, but it also only provides one pelt.
I haven't had the opportunity to kill/skin the other denizens.
Overall, this is a fun place and definitely somewhere that I want to bring a group to. I don't think I've even seen half of it yet.

You overhear the following rumor:
"I saw one of those Shadgard folk come barging into Grif's and shoot one of the patrons on the spot. Shadgard must be a pretty rough place with such outlaws running rampant."

Re: Gaslight Swamp
Groups don't really work well there, unfortunately.
Re: Gaslight Swamp
Does its special mechanic force groups apart? I figured you'd still stay together so long as you could see each other.

Re: Gaslight Swamp
It's probably reasonable that the bat provides so little. There's not much in the way of food or usable skin on a bat, even on one of that size.

"You mean I could choose certain death?"
"A choice nevertheless, or perhaps an alternative. You see I believe in freedom. Not many people do, although they will of course protest otherwise. And no practical definition of freedom would be complete without the freedom to take the consequences. Indeed, it is the freedom upon which all the others are based.”

Re: Gaslight Swamp
I noticed a few other things odd about the area, but I won't talk about them here lest I spoil something. Instead I filed bug reports: 11106, 11107, and 11108.

Re: Gaslight Swamp
Groups getting broken by movement in the swamp off the main road is a bug, actually. One that's way more complex to fix than it should be, so that's why it's still a "feature" at the moment.
The lore compels me!

....Can we keep it? It makes that area infinitely more interesting, and makes it more mysterious.

Re: Gaslight Swamp
I'm opposed to this. I don't like a mechanic that doesn't allow for groups to stay together.Fayne wrote:Holy crap, that's a bug?Rias wrote:Groups getting broken by movement in the swamp off the main road is a bug, actually.

This would present a particular problem should there be an event in that area in the future or something urgent is happening to where two or more people need to stay together.

Re: Gaslight Swamp
But you don't realize how useful it is until you get stuck in an infinite loop in there like I have before. I was once stuck going between the same two rooms, bo matter which way I went, it always led me to the same place. I managed to get out by joining and trying to follow someone else. I guess it reset something, and my infinite loop was broken.

Re: Gaslight Swamp
You got stuck in an infinite loop because you haven't yet figured out how the area works. Judging by the ESP chatter the other day, most people haven't figured it out yet, but it isn't a bug.Fayne wrote:But you don't realize how useful it is until you get stuck in an infinite loop in there like I have before.

The other day Elystole ran into the swamp to conduct a rescue mission. Being able to lead a proper group would have greatly facilitated that, and it allows for people to serve as guides - which is right up his alley.
So I'll happily wait for that bug fix.

Re: Gaslight Swamp
No, I wasn't trying to imply that getting trapped in there was a bug. I'm saying the group bug helped me to get out of the mess.
