| Summary | 0008438: Jellyfish native to Lava Flats? | ||||
| Description | I just did an Anachronism mission in the Lava Flats, and was penalized for destroying a sea worm and a jellyfish. Bug? Or am I misunderstanding 'Native'? | ||||

They are from the same TimeZone (WildAge I think?) which is why this happens, but to be honest I think it's pretty silly it works like that. I always felt anachronism missions were "monsters that an't in this zone" and for most cases it's pretty right, apart from this one. You could argue about monsters moving zones at tier 3, but by then you are used to the continent you are on, know what monsters spawn where and such. |

Same happened to me, except I'm on my second continent, finally got Lava Flats, and am still at T1... HIGHLY unlikely that it's cos they migrated starting in T3. Not to mention it's landlocked. I think this should actually be something changed for the anachronism missions. Unless it's intended that anachronism missions are for time period only, not native monsters alone. If that's the case though, assuming they used "anachronistic" correct, then it doesn't matter if they're native, but rather from the same time shard. Which I kinda feel still needs rearranged. |

Yep, it's by time period rather than region type. Not a bug! |
|
|
Heheheh, maybe one day they'll have a shimmering red bio bubble surrounding them and a blue one for the firebats that you fight in ocean environments :-). Like in Bubble Boy :-). |

This is one of the few remaining things in AVWW that makes me pull out my regions spreadsheet. I think the missions should be changed to be by region type, not by time period. |

1. Making Anachronisms based on region type rather than time period should really be a separate post, as it is a separate suggestion. 2. Does the world map screen show which time period a chunk is? 3. If this change is made to the mission, is would have to be renamed, as anachronisms implies time is somehow involved (ana-, in this case, meaning against, and chronism meaning a thing out of harmony (time) with present, which would no longer fit the revised objective) |

Except, that brings up a point. Just because it's not by region doesn't mean its not for things from another time. In this case, being in an ocean or lava flats Fix the Anachronisms mission, the biggest contrast between regions of the same time, it DOES make sense still, as it's still out of harmony with the present. If you are in a volcano, octopi and jellyfish ARE anachronistic as time is local, not universal. Octopi and jellyfish are from that area in another time, particularly one in which the area is covered in water, either before or after it has been a volcano. |
