  • Tarith - Blood Pack Comm Relay
    Jeesus! Goddamn in the middle of the road, just suddenly airlifted up to the level of the beacon beams! :smh:
    After the flying dragon-worm had dropped a second bunch of Klixen shrimps that came approaching:

    Image

    Floating IN the beam, and there is beacon 5.

    Image

    No escape. Reload savegame. :-|-:
    ....
  • And again goddammit! :smh: Same spot....

    That is where i came from, and there is beacon 4...

    Image

    Reload savegame
    .....
  • Holy crap hell, and another spot close by as well!!! While walking backwards shooting the giant klixen shrimps suddenly whooop up in the air same height as before!

    Image

    Image

    They killed me spewing their burning poison.
    Reload savegame anyways, there was no escape. :roll:
    ---
  • To explain more exactly where:
    It happened past this location, the second location to pass with crates, bodies, ammo and a datapad.

    Image

    Walk on to the 5th beacon to activate:

    Image

    then turn 180 degrees and walk a few steps (that is in fact back to where you came). The crosshair aims at the airlifting spot of pictures 1, 2, 3:

    Image

    Walk on. The crosshair now aims at the airlifting spot of pictures 4 and 5:

    Image
You know what KILLS a gaming experience. It is this sort of thing, it kicks one right out of the immersion. :thdown:

Where can i walk, where not??! This way i can hardly move, feel reluctant to explore. :fp:

  • Help Zaeed mission (Zorya)
    Lift upon/through structure, but luckily a way back down, so: harmless.

    Suddenly on top of the rocky foot of the iron support structure:

    Image

    through the structure...

    Image

    so you're vulnerable ...

    Image

    Image

    but luckily a way down.
  • suddenly walking on a railing (after the big explosion by Zaeed, following Vido running into the building)

    Image

    Image

    Luckily, easy stepping down.

  • Help Grunt mission (Tuchanka - Urdnot Ruins)
  • Sudden airlift and stuck there. While being attacked by 4 giant shrimps at the same time, trying to run for cover and get a better position, Shepard suddenly finds herself slightly airlifted onto invisible surface at the top of one of the side-stairways. No way to hide, no escape from the surface. Easy kill, dead. :thdown:

    Somewhere around this spot is where the airlift, or stepping onto an invisible surface, started:

    Image

    Not much room to move

    Image

    Image

    Image

    Image

    Image

    Yeahh... whose failure, Bioware?! :twisted:
  • Ahh... i found it. It starts on that piece of rubble, specifically where the iron sticks out.

    Image

    Image

    You can walk quite a way. And it is possible to walk off the invisible surface: either go as far as possible over the broken wall (in below picture), or go back into the direction of the "start battle" button, and hit solid ground again.

    Image
  • You can actually hop onto the button and walk on the stairs armrest to the top.

    Image

    Can shoot the monster from there, but why would you waste ammo, just wait till the timer reaches 00.00

  • Help Jacob mission
  • Airlift near the Beacon. Walking near the rock, sudden lift upon it. Walking around on invisible area. Luckily found a way off, eventually (at a spot farthest away from the beacon).

Help Jacob mission
  • Airlift. After talking to the Doctor. Exploring neighbourhood, sudden airlift and walking on invisible surface over the cliff...
    No escape. Reload Quicksave. :fp:

    Image

    Image

    Image

  • Second time, instead of reloading save, i went exploring, hoping to find a way down. The invisible surface stretches over a quite large area:

    Above the rocky textures, beyond normally "inaccessable" locations

    Image

    Image

    Image

    Image

    Peek a boo outside the map:

    Image

    Image

    Image

    The promenade ends behind the tents.

    Image

    There is no return to solid ground. Reload Quicksave...

    Image

    My last Quicksave turns out to be right after the battle with the mercs (next to the female hostage Shepard encountered near the ship wreckage)...
    So much unwanted repetition you have to endure in this game, just because of the bugs. :fp:

  • Canalus.
    Start on Canalus. Passed the second red torch, during heavy shooting walking alongside a rocky wall at the left, Shepard suddenly airlifts to the top of that rock (about 5 ~ 10 meters high). No way to escape, easy target, dead.
    It is this rock:
    Image
    you can estimate the distance to the tower ahead:

    Image
    and as you can see my team is also floating by now:
    Image
  • Canalus.
    This one is a bit closer towards the mission's target than the previous, and at the right side.
    While under attack by Geth, sudden high airlift while running near the edge of the ground (not even a rock or crate nearby that could have triggered that).
    It is before the last battle with Geth, before reaching the tower.
    The spot aimed by crosshair is where it starts:
    Image

    Up

    Image

    Image

    Can airwalk towards that rock

Recruit Jack mission
  • At the end of forelast battle. While walking close to / against the wall (hugging the wall i guess)... sudden airlift.

    The wall Shepard is looking at:
    Image

    suddenly uprising...

    Image

    Looking around

    Image

    Can walk ontop of the wall. At the right is the passage to next scene.

    Image

    Can look via underneath the floor and see final room

    Image

    While walking high up in this area several times the green "Loading..." disc appears...

    Image

    No escape. Reload quicksave... :roll:

Horizon
  • Airlift ontop of larvae

    Walking backwards, suddenly up! Turning 180 degrees and notice that:

    Image

    ...the whole bunch is covered with an invisible surface

    Image

    A way down is not immediately found, looking for it you can walk over the low fence, and easily get trapped behind it.

    Image

    When you're trapped, there's no way out but Reload Autosave.
