Stuck in Cabilis

[PDX0621]

Not sure if this is the right place for this or not. I'm returning after taking a few months off, and have found myself stuck. Trying to access the upper towers of the Shaman/SK guild in Cabilis to buy some spells for my Necro. If you're familiar with the area, you've gotta climb up a ladder and somehow turn/jump to land on the platform where the merchants are. I tried for about 20 minutes last night but couldn't get it to work. I couldn't reverse jump while still on the ladder, or forward jump from the top of the ladder to land it. Any tips/pointers here?

Were you in first person view looking up toward the platform when you jumped?

[PDX0621]

I coulda sworn I tried every conceivable angle/view/direction I could think of, but no dice. I either didn't move at all, or simply fell off the ladder.

I actually got stuck here too. It was shear persistence in my case. I found that if I jumped from the ladder to the closest ledge in third person view. I would get stuck there.... I could then go into first person view and jump again, and in some cases again, and again. I may have also just gated out to FoB....

My impression of those vendors is that once you get to them you have to go down, and run out the bottom. Not sure you were ever intended to go "up" those ladders.

[myriverse]

Yeah... spent about 45 minutes figuring that out once. Once! I never go up there again.

I get stuck on those blasted ladders every.single.time.

Glad it wasn't just me, lol

Aim up at an angle and jump. It does take some practice (and is seriously annoying).

I rolled a iksar necro, went to buy spells, couldn't get out of the building with the ladders .... 30 minutes later i rolled a DE necro. /cue Boston "Don't Look Back"

it's a ridiculous design for that city not to have stairs in those buildings.

I don't play with lizzies, so cannot help with any advice about that backwards city :/ I can however reiterate the usefulness of fist person view when navigating ladders ^^

[PDX0621]

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll give it a try later tonight.

As you get to the top of the ladder, angle slightly so that you jump up and out at the side.

Takes some practice :p

[PDX0621]

This is absolutely insane. I cannot for the life of me even begin to get this to work. I just fall off the ladder, regardless of what view I'm in or the angle at which I try to jump. I'm seriously at a loss here.

[Krycek]

Not able to use gate? Sorry if offended by a probly obvious solution, but just thought I'd throw it out there.

[PDX0621]

Not sure I follow. Im not stuck trying to get out, I'm trying to climb a ladder to reach a platform inside the city. Just watched a level 3 SK do it over and over and over, but I still some unable to for some reason.

[PDX0621]

I've been saved! Awesome guy by the name of Kumadar saved the day! (by showing me the merchant I'd spent hours attempting to reach wasn't even up the ladder haha) Thank you Kumadar!

[bulbousaur]

You'll eventually have to be able to do it though, I believe!

[Herpa Derp]

Kumadar is the bomb. True story.

Ladders do suck trying to get up at times in any zone. Wait till you have a Mob on your ass trying to do it. :eek::eek:
