    Invisible Collectibles

    The collectibles event that started recently for October generates invisible (literally) collectibles that are obscured entirely behind mountains. Likely, this is not the only instance of a totally obscured collectible.

    The only reason I was able to find this was randomly moving the mouse cursor around until the scarecrow label popped up. I would assume there is some indexing to objects which determines what overlaps what, which could easily fix this by making all the collectibles whatever index number forces them to the front.

    They're tough enough to find without being obscured entirely, don't you think?

    Agreed
    If something can go wrong, it will.

    This was brought up many times on the test server.
    It seems this was not important to them to fix.

    Same problem, only it was a tree that was blocking the view. I resorted to scanning the entire island with my cursor in order to find it. Not sure it is worth the effort for 200 wheat...

    I guess it's fairly obvious they don't care at this point, but here's another screenshot just for gigs.

    Yup, there sits the Collie in a wall of solid rock. It'd be nice of the Devs to explain that to us... someday.
