Why were loyalists removed? 

The Undead Loyalists were part of the Imperial Uprising event. It's likely the mechanic will make a return at some point. For more information on the end of the event, check out the wrap-up post here: https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/the-immortal-uprising-end-of-event-wrap-up/74245

Why not keep it going till the next event so people keep playing?

Part of the nature of an event, the event only lasts for a time! We're happy to hear you enjoyed the event and the Loyalists, I know I did as well!

Fair but leaving nothing in between will drown the player base till next ‘event’. If you put it to a player vote I’m sure most would want it extended. Hopefully the team listens as they did in past. Cheers :)

We already started discussions during the event of how we can incorporate content similar to Loyalists within the game as a standard feature. The Loyalist Undead weren't designed to be a core part of the game as is (to every echo, in the quantity that they were). As a limited time event feature, they offered a lot of power, and were outside of the standard game balance for difficulty to be extra exciting, however that doesn't make as much sense in standard game balance. Keeping extensive power creep for longer makes it that much harder to eventually pull.

We already have some plans for something similar to return, which we'll be talking about with other Season 2 news once we start diving into details.

This was a tough one but the team did recently figure out the cause!

I’ve let the team know about both of these bugs! They’re still working on reproducing the Shattered Road terrain issue, however the potion one has been repro’d :blush:

If you can get the terrain issue to happen again, consistently, would you mind submitting an In Game Bug Report with the steps you take to do that?
