I have three characters that have a Yalm equiped.
Two of them haven't any kind of problem, the last one has a Yalm that is totally fubared.
This last one is my Fixer. I dedicated a lot of time to gather 5+ millions at level 50 to buy a Q35 Yalm in store. And my experience with the Yalm is a nightmare.
Facts :
- Outdoor zone are treated like indoor zones. When I zone with my Yalm equiped, I am out of the Yalm after zoning and the Yalm is still equipped but grey in my HUD.
- At this stage I can put the Yalm from the HUD to my Inventory and re-equip it, but I stay on foot.
- If I put the Yalm in my inventory and zone again, I can put it back in the HUD, get the Yalm morph and fly.
- I can't remove my Yalm if I don't zone. In the same zone, I can remove my Yalm from my HUD, put it in my inventory, and still be morphed in a Yalm and fly around.
- The only part that is working workly is zoning inside missions with my Yalm.
- But exiting mission in Yalm morph has a 50% success. I find myself very often on foot, have to desequip the Yalm outside, find a zone and put back the Yalm.
Problems :
- I can't get out of my Yalm in a zone to make xp at a suitable spot.
- I can't cross zones and still be flying.
- I can get killed in dangerous zones while exiting a finished mission.
What does really bother me :
Getting to a mission is a pain, but I can usually cope with the cumbersome process. My main frustration is that I planned to use my Yalm to accomplish the Fixer's Grid Quest, and the part with the 'great NPC run'. This is absolutly not doable right now withing being killed a dozen times in OT territory.
What I can do :
I petionned and explained these problems. The answer was something like "We are aware of the problem yadiyada". I don't know if the next patch will take care of that problem.
Still, I am ready to assist any dev from FC to study the problem and try any trick. I have already tried many things involving putting the Yalm in bank / bag and zoning / logging.
I am available in the evening GMT+1.
[EDIT]
From 14.6 bugs report :
The bugged Yalm is Q35, while the other functionnal Yalm are Q40+. Are all the issues described in my post corrected in 14.6 ?35) Can't zone with a Yalm anymore... drops to the ground, and the yalm is greyed. [Dhurdahl] - sure I've zoned fine... will check. Dhurdahl - any further info, may be related to wierd screwed up yalms below ql50? ie a ql30 Yalm now has vehicle air requirement of 134 (up from *about* 83 on live) and a ql32 has vehicle air requirement of 55 [Darkbane] Low QL Yalms - FIXED 14.6.0.2 - not sure about Dhurdahl's bug.
