This is when imagination comes in to play lol. Imagine killing the enemy with a giant salmon or something. Jokes aside, yes this does happen to me too. Thankfully its not really game breaking, just visually sucky.

There is a button in the top left that allows you to close the new Welcome Menu. I like the new map. I haven't tested in a cave or instance, but so for just running around I really enjoy it.

The UI is fine. People just need a reason to complain. It looks and feels the same as it did before, with some small quality of life changes. Remember Edit is your friend.

Thank you for these guides.

I very much agree with this post. Another question I have if those don't get answered is: why is this not instanced? I know he is supposed to be a WB but the current system is extremely frustrating and lacks insight and consideration for the players. I honestly can't see any positives to the way NMP is currently set up!
