Also, why does the Maesltrom kick in so fast now? Is there a reason or is it for testing purposes? It was best before when you had some time and you actually saw it build up, so you could put your activities on hold and start planning to get inside prepped and ready.

I saw in the Admin panel that it used to be set on a two minute start up and shut down, but it was changed to one minute. And, I donât know how others feel, but even at one a one minute setting, I donât think its actually one minute. It does feel like a nearly instantaneous start and stop now.
Uuuu because itâs single player not a multi player server and whether itâs on or not single player is only pve in almost every aspect not sure whereâs this is coming from but Iâm not sure how that even says we care about pve only itâs just what it loads up on single player but if a private server wants higher difficulty with vanilla options then they can chose that to make it better for all on a equally level
PS valheim is not currently better in terms to this game biggest thing Iâm not happy with it is no npcs to ally with but I invested money in hopes it both does well and improve over time just like CE has improved in various way some more liked than others but itâs nice so far
Uuuuu pic please not for evidence but Iâm on Xbox and want to see the new stuff but got to wait but the curiosity is hard not to resist 
please and 
You mean cause youâre new or you want to say or do something that is not allowed if the first itâs a trust system they put in place if you read the sticker category in each area it will tell you the rules and how to get higher trust and Iâm now realizing your new and I cannot get a pic from you

About the EnableBuildingDestructionCapsules
Is this affecting restricted areas on the exiled lands as well?
Iâm asking, because on our server, we have many lore-based pippi thespians in many areas, which guiding players through selfmade quests.
as example, we have a quest giver in the unnamed city, and a few in sepermeru. Will they be deleted?
@Surya If you happen to test this, please let us know how it goes as I would be interested to know as well. You can always do a rollback if the result is not what you expect it to be.
Wondering how to test it⊠as we âonly see when **** is going downâ aka they update the game 
Idefinitively start backing up the data twice a day next week.
In this case is just a setting though. It will be off by default i.e backup your server, run update and check if all good. If it is, turn off server, enable setting, check what happens. If the result is bad, roll back from the backup.

if I start the game without a connection, will it be possible to use dlcs that i bought?
If you use the official offline mode introduced by this patch, yes, you will be able to access your DLCs including Isle of Siptah. You will still require internet connection for updates and installation.

Feedback on version 2.3.275862.
PROS
- New cages mechanic is great, awesome source of early game thralls.
- New lore is good, voiceover is solid.
- New camps look good and are nicely detailed and populated.
- Squishing elder race bits for Ichor is great, since Ichor is harder to find now that fish traps require bugs as fuel, as well as being a late-game ingredient for oil.
- Haunted Wreck is no longer an Accursed Camp and thatâs great, since I personally felt it made that part of the map OP AF.
CONS
- What is the point of the items in the pedestals in the Tower? When I first saw them I thought they were showing what we would get by spending there, but it isnât. This is confusing and definitely a UX issue.
- There is no sign of the challenges that could be found in the Tower. I guess this is as intended?
- Sigil buffs are not showing anywhere. Is this a bug?
- Accursed capital is still empty.
- Storm still looks stupidly weak. I mean come on, does this look like an otherwordly storm?
The current one is much, much better.
BUGS
- Hyperborean blood seems bugged, no option in the Orb of Nergal showed up for me.
- Glowing algae in fish vaults are glowing too much again (keep in mind Iâm playing at Medium settings)
- Pressing the Play button when reading a lore entry is bugged, instancing the audio two times instead of canceling the current instance and starting another.
- I am not getting the âMaelstromâ status when I am inside the storm. I donât know if this is a bug or an intended feature.
PET PEEVES
- Fuming Cave is still pointless.
- Accursed lack identity.
QUESTIONS
- Shovels cannot be found still, right? I am not missing something, right?
- Are there more altars that you can pray to that give you buffs?
As always, keep up the good work! Also I would like to add that I am really, REALLY impressed by the amount of content you are putting in this game in order to overhaul Siptah and The Exiled Lands. Thank you a lot!

Hi @AstemioDaBirra, first of all, thank you for taking the time to write such detailed feedback. I am not part of Funcomâs team but I have a few comments:
I agree with this comment here even though I have never really had issues getting ichor on siptah with all the spiders and spider vaults. Iâve just wanted to point out that crafting oil has been made more accessible now even at early levels as the recipe was added to a T3 alchemist. I am very happy with this change.
I had the same comment. I see an armor and I would expect to get an armor not a candle recipe. However, I have noted that now we get only the newly added recipes from those pedestals instead of old+new library which for me is a nice change as it reduces the rng due to the smaller pool of recipes to draw from.
As a side note: EL still have all recipes in one + they get the voidforge recipes which require eldarium. I am aware that this has been noted and under discussion.
Same but who knows maybe they would add some portal similar to well of skelos as there is something in the middle which looks like that.
I donât think it is a bug but I agree that it would be nice to see what they do. At the moment, I have no clue what each of them does, I know some one has some poison removal effect and another corruption removal but it would be nice to get some sort of hint about it somewhere 
It does show but it is hidden. I have reported it here.
We do have a shovel. It has been in the game for a long time. It even has a fitting name.
I know there is a set one that I got buffs from. Not sure which one you found.

I guess thatâs true, but it is still quite restricted geographically.
Yeah when I said âlate-gameâ I meant T3, not necessarily late game. My bad.
Then it is even more bugged than it appears to be, since in the description in mentions that it gives you âLight Skinâ and not another type of eye.
OK, I thought shovels were going to be a new type of consumable key-type item, not that we had to craft Gravedigger. It is somehow counterintuitive, also is that not a recipe from the Library of Esoteric Artifacts in the Exiled Lands? How do you find it on Siptah?
I found the one in the main Stygian camp but thatâs it. Iâm curious if there will be others. My guess is yes, since we have yet to see the new religion.
