Replace them with xlocater at docks, boats are stupid, annoying, quirky the way they are. They should be buried at the bottom of the storm sea.

THANK YOU!
 
I like boats...It's different. Sure they may get bugged, but I don't think it's often enough to take it out of the game.
 
You do realize how much instant travel already exists, yes? You can neck to

Dragonhorn
Stormkeep
Rivervale
Grobb
Newport

And from Newport you can instantaneously get to Underhill, Oggok and Sadri Malath. The only place not reachable with out a boat trip is Erudin, and you can just bind there.

I have Rabb in Erudin, and he can get to the mainland with Newport neck and then get to Faydwer with a translocator, to south mainland with the Grobb neck, and to the north with the SK neck. The only place I can't easily access is the east side of the continent because he lacks the Rivervale neck, but with that he could bypass the Badlands.
 
It's just one of those situations i feel 'what's better for the game' trumps 'what the players want'
 
A shame the boat deed isn't going to happen due to some client limitation I recall Wiz or another GM saying. How about* if it was possible to enable 4 clicky porting boat deeds that will only function at certain zones w/ large body of water to their respecting destinations(minus the SS and SoS)?
 
Translocators have been removed quite recently, how can yo ask to bring them back so quick ? level a druid or wiz and get some of the easier necks (Grobb, DHK and/or Stormkeep which take some time I admit, Rivervale if you can gather some friends...). The boats have always been part of the game, they add a good balance to the transportation system imo (especially with the new recent destinations like Goblin skull and Sea of swords) and well why the hell wouldn't there be boats with zones like SoS or Storm Sea ?
Anyway it's not gonna happen, but just try to understand the staff is not rolling back to the Nexus.

Or PoK books. Gods, why didnt they just give you XP you could buy for $ when they tried to make the game so easy.

EQ's real hold for so many was the true challenge it gave and travel was one of them. At least anyone can bind almost anywhere now.

I loved meeting people on eqlive that had NO IDEA how to run anywheres from zone to zone. Incredible.

The last thing you want to do is lose the sense of a real and connected world.

"How do you get to Kaladim through Freeport, PoK is down" - Heard that acouple of times.


The boats are great, I love the boats. It makes the game real and gives wizards a purpose besides raining chaos and destruction from above.
