I am pretty sure we were able to rotate the camera to change the point of view.
How am i supposed to find all the colletibles on the map if i cant rotate the camera?
I had zoomed in and looked every part of the map and couldnt find any colletibles, beyond those that are in the open.
I am pretty sure some are hidden behind mountaind or even buildings.
Am i missing something or we cant rotate the camera angle?
Started about the same time as you and we could never rotate as far as I can remember. The graphics are not set up for it.
Weird, i was sure we were able to do that.Quote:

You should have learned by now the suspect hidden spots behind mountians and buildings. Can always mouse over to find things barely (or not at all) visible.Quote:

As far as "hidden" ones, mouse over hardwood trees, check the mountain by the marble quarry in sector 8, look closely (or mouse over) any improved storehouses and also the entrance to the Mayor's house. Those are some frequent places for difficult ones.
If under trees, placing a decoration like I mentioned I think really helps - of course in the future it will always show up when you mouse-over but I've gotten used to where my decorations are so it doesn't bother me.
Rarely do I ever go without finding them all - it keeps me awake :)
New lesson learned. Turning off smoke when looking for a hard to find one might be a good idea. This one took me quite a while...
I end up using all the fairy dust, they put an arrow over the collectibles, and since they have ended, i dont bother to collect anymore, because o gain nothing from it.
I wish we could disable this "quest".
Xibor, even that's not a guarantee. When collectables 1st appeared, they spawned on top of 2 general camps and "killed" the general, ie: he vanished from star menu. Still missing my original Gen Stronghelmet from starter pack on Newf and N'Isle may never be able to complete the "6 tavern gen" quest as 1 tavern gen got deleted.
They've also landed on items like paths and the gap created by its destruction is now a "dead zone", it cannot be built upon.
