Second time I've done this world quest, and after I shoot down the wicker charms the camera takes on a weird effect, it's like it starts lagging behind my toon's movements by a second or so. This effect persists after a /reload. Unsure what's going on there, it is a cool effect don't get me wrong but logging out may fix it.
I have just had the most unpleasant time trying to do this quest. Can someone please tell me where to stand so that I am not attacked every five seconds?
I have no chance at all of getting the wicker in target, before a falcon or falconeer attacks me.
