those annoying elevators

Many times Ive been trying to get to a lower level and find the elevator shaft empty so I jump down it, and the elevator chooses that moment to come up. No one pushed the button, it just decided on its own. So I have to ride the elevator all the way up and then all the way down again. Its annoying and there is no reason for it. Please either leave it at the floor where the last rider got off, or even better - always leave it at the bottom.

Ya the elevator's are really bad. You ride it to the top and it instantly goes back down giving you a split second to get off before you get stuck riding it back down and up again.

what elevators are you specifically talking about?

GMM

They are clockwork elevators. Working as intended.

The elevator to see the Grand Librarian in PoK is like that too, super annoying.

I'm forever falling through the floor of the blasted thing!
Elevators have always been bad, damn gnomes need shooting!

The best ones are in Meldrath's Majestic Mansion... Made for some fun times back in the day while doing that raid, especially when trash mobs joined the party. The elevators could have counted for their own DKP event... "Elevator (attempt)"...

I was back there not long ago doing the raid for old time's sake and got blocked from the upper floor because of the elevators, forcing me to drop the expedition and get a new one. Some things never change.

LOL, first (virtual)world problems

My addition to the complaint.... going down with a lev buff, and you have to point your camera view down and follow the elevator floor, or it takes minutes to get to the bottom!

What Yinla said.

Elevators are amazing. Talk to the tanks. They can tell you how to use them effectively. Especially those who's names start with T.

They LOVE elevators

I wouldnt normally complain but you located the 4 ph for Tatters such that it requires 2 elevator rides up and then 2 rides back down to cover them all.

Get off the mount before riding elevators. Mounts trigger them somehow.

I dont use a mount - Im a bard.

NPCs, mercs, and pets (charmed, swarm, etc.) will all trigger it too.

i found it best to run everyone into elevator when empty, then let the platform pass through your head. hard to time everyone running in at same time, because the platform goes up by itself. must be pressure activated

There are activation buttons for them. Some on the wall facing when there is no enclosure. I have found falling down the shaft will trigger them to operate as well just be shrunk and quick to get out. No worse or better than any of the other elevators in the game.

I assume devs expect all players to be familiar with using the "practice" elevator in Crescent Reach.

...how about auras?

I wasn't able to get my aura or echo to trigger it.
