In Erudin, There is no absolutely no way at all to see the floating platform when you are on the boat, and vice versa if you are trying to get on the boat.

The only way you can, is if you turn your gamma up past 60%. And even then, you would need to know when to do it. The only reason I knew to try it is because I kept spamming /loc until it stopped changing and then I knew I stopped moving. I only did the /loc spam because I expected it to be too dark. A lot of people are not going to expect it to be that dark.

Anyway. There ya go.
This actually turned out to be trivial to fix.

To be fair, the lighting situation still isn't GREAT on boats, but at least they (and the floating platform in Erudin) will behave like they do in South Qeynos. So, there should be enough visibility to navigate with a small dynamic light source, like a candle.
