Boat Problems

I am suggesting a change for the boat system, or a minor tweak to it. Half the time I use the boat to either sea of swords or storm sea when I reach the zone line the boat goes through and just drops me off into the water. I'm not suggesting a Translocator system like live, that was a horrible solution. Maybe this is only me who experiences this issue, if so then ignore this. lol
 
What was so bad about the translocation system? I personally think the translocation system would be a great alternative as the boats are constantly bugging some way or another.
 
I'm guessing the boats are there just to give more realism plus give the appearance of size to the world. I would really hate to see the boats go, but if they are bugged all the time whats the point then really?
 
At a time, someone had suggested a wizard port to SS that would mirror the druid port to SoS. It wouldn't mend the problems/bugs, but it would at least ease the pain when the boats are down.

I agree. Call me crazy, but I like having to ride the boat to certain zones. MOP is fine and convenient and all, but the boats just make the game more ... real.
 
Well if you get rid of the boats the only option I see is a port of some kind..

However the Boats Drive in nuts if you ld or anything you instantly pop back to the boat have have to ride it around again.

Personally I hate them.

Not to mention those of us that use SNP as a base .. The boat spam is annoying. not that it's the only zone i happens in.


But yeah the above already quoted basicly says it all.. Right now it's more work for everyone than it's worth for a small effect.

However if it's a time thing .. you dont' want people to get to them easily .. just add a delay on it .. IE .. "hail XXX"
Travel to XXX"
I'm on it XXX however I won't be able to do so for another 3 mins"..

or "Let me recharge myself XXX will help you as soon as i'm able"

OR something.

Bascily the boats suck .. yes you loose the view of the world and the effect of it but the time it would save GM's From fixing them like everyday. And the Annoyance from the players it leaves stranded.

I personally have allways liked the boats. I don't ride them often but I believe they are there for a purpose. I just wish there was a way to unbug them. I would personally like to see the boats stay, but maybe add a portal to SS is a good option.

If they ever added a port spell I would rather it would be a quested spell. Not something that everyone could just hit up any spell vendor and buy.
 
I've only ever had this happen to me a handful of times and I agree with this:

I've always held functioning boats as one of the greatly contrasting points SoD has over live.
 
If nothing else is it just possible to make actual zone lines? Meaning if you have a levl you can just run it yourself. Then you give people the option to either ride the boats or just hoof it yourself with sow / levi on. If nothing else it still gives people an option to swim and still zone. It might take longer but it stops people from being stranded like on Giligan's Island.

I have no idea if this is possilbe, but from my player's stand point, I agree. That would be a nice solution.
