Plane of Mischief Bind Affinity

[Ele]

Currently Plane of Mischief does not allow binding. Attempting to cast Bind Affinity returns message to try a city.

Should be able to bind anywhere in Mischief if you can cast it yourself or can click a Locket of Escape or Ring of the Dead.

5 - Binding ... I would suggest if ppl want to bind here that they bind either at the Exit tree, at the zone in point or somewhere inside the castle. Each has it's advantages. PoM is not a bad bind point. You can solo to lvl 60 here with no real chance of getting stuck without a place to lvl. The plat is very good from almost all NPCs and at anytime you can zone to CS in a fairly safe place. If you bind at exit point (tree) there are no kos npcs there and you can zone right out. If you bind at zone in, you are very safe and with a lil skill you can stay on the back ledge and get to the zone out point without agroing the traps. The advantage to binding inside the castle is that you avoid the dispelling gates if you are heading inside.

I know casters could bind themselves and commonly did in the chest room as it was safe.

I think melees needed a locket? Not 100% there but pretty sure.

[Daldaen]

100% sure melees needed a locket to bind in PoM.

Sort of a useless bind for Melee though. It should be a casters playground zone. So many shamans locking down camps, will be fun.

Long as the harder mobs are MR immune and flee I'm kew with it.

Same with Ice Well, long as all the guards are MR/CR immune... I'm happy and the rest is pretty straight forward.

Yup, can confirm, casters could bind but melees needed lockets/rings.

Still looking into this. It's set up properly to be self-only bindable, but it's not functioning right now.

When I tried this, it gave me the "try a city" error in red, but also followed up with the successful bind text after that. My bindpoint had also successfully changed after relogging.

You guys sure this isn't the same cosmetic bug that used to happen in Neriak and other zones?

[Haynar]

My test box earlier, I got the red text too. If I did /char while still in the zone, it did not update. But it did server side it looks like. And when I zoned, it showed on a /char.

Confirmed, you get the "Try a city" message but it indeed bound my character in the exact spot I cast it. I bound myself inside the castle too btw.

[Sun Nov 30 20:28:47 2014] You begin casting Bind Affinity.
[Sun Nov 30 20:28:53 2014] You cannot seem to develop an affinity for this place. Try a city.
[Sun Nov 30 20:28:53 2014] You feel yourself bind to the area.
[Sun Nov 30 20:29:00 2014] You are currently bound in: Plane of Mischief

Can't activate locket of escape, for bind here. So there's some kind of issue still.

The message does appear, however the bind still takes hold. I have bound myself all over PoM including chessboard. The message is only broken itself.
