quick travel after update

[Kanitra]

What happened to quick travel after today's update? The signs have question marks instead of the places I have already found. I was out and about, on the far side of the continent and can't travel home.

I found the update notes. Apparently I now need a binding stone. Argh!

Same issue. Luckily I have a trusty horse and know the locations.

Have you found any binding stones?

And wolves are not offering E for loot after death.

[Kanitra]

E?

E is the key you are offered after killing the mobs to loot them.
Wolves are not the only ones not lootable on death now.
Some of the mobs in the swamp as well

Fast Travel locked until gathering a Binding Stone = have all 4 stones from the quest collected. (I am glad this was changed after I got all my traveling done lol)
Just got the last stone (because of the sturgeon issue (Thank you for fixing fishing fyi, much better!) now with 4 stones in my bags, prior to the valley quest - all fast travels are there again in the sign post. There was no explanation about this- the binding stone reference is only attached to the main quest- there is no other mentions of the binding stones being attached to fast travel in the game that I see. Maybe it has been added in earlier quest info which I have already passed. But this is very confusing.

Kinda hard to get wolf liver (or is it heart) if we can't loot them. This fast travel needing binding stone thing has me very frustrated. Catching me after I already had it is no fun, but part of a game in development progress. But waiting for 4 let alone 1 seem like a loooong time in the game of traversing long distances on foot.

I literally just downloaded this game the other day and was so confused with the signs that said ???. YT'd it and apparently missed out on the fast travel before this binding stone crud...is that what we get after the Varin stones (I just got the first one).

[Kanitra]

I haven't gotten one yet, but I think so. It is the stones you get after you go through one on the portals.

I am guessing the new mechanic is that you do not get the fast travel until you get a stone. Previous, we just had to walk to a base and click the portal to add them.
Seems to mess up the ability to move quickly in one day crossing the map early on.
