Game Mechanics: PLATFORM That Takes You to Boat In Erudin Is Bugged/Broken

[Orzenn]

Ok. I boarded the boat in South Qeynos AND timed the route. Results as below.

Boat docking in Qeynos (starting point):
00 mins 00.00 secs

Boat Zoned into Erud's Crossing:
01 mins 39.60 secs
arrival at dock:
03 mins 34.16 secs

Boat Zoned into Erudin
06 mins 44.69 secs
arrival at dock point:
07 mins 45.22 secs
(people waiting on shuttle at the time report it did not move, and I visually confirmed shuttle did NOT dock with boat)

Boat Zoned into Erud's Crossing:
09 mins 22.13 secs
arrival at dock:
11 mins 56.84 secs

Boat Zoned into Qeynos:
14 mins 29.07 secs
arrival at dock:
15 mins 26.37 secs

So, the boat cycles it's entire route in 15 minutes 26.37 seconds (that's from Dock to Dock)

One person on the shuttle reported his waiting time at 75 minutes. Assuming his measurement is exact, this would mean the boat had cycled it's route 4.86 times.

In short: the shuttle IS broken.

Screen shots of timing and the shuttle NOT docking with the boat available upon request.

This is hands-down the biggest bug I've ever come across on P1999, since it breaks the game sooooo badly.

Curious as to why not one dev has given a response about this yet (other than trying to convince themselves this monstrous bug doesn't exist... how embarrassing). Hope you fellas aren't honestly stumped!! :/

Bump.

Still broken as of this post. I think we need those arcane science gnomes to come investigate [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I don't understand. Usually the devs are all over these bug forums, but they seem to have been absent as of late. Especially with this issue.... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

^ And it's spelled skiff. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I'd have to agree. A bit over a month ago I can confirm that this was working perfectly, but now it's been broken for 2 weeks and it's downright odd nothing was even acknowledged yet, let alone fixed. Either they're stumped on how to fix this, or the devs here have some sort of racial prejudice against Erudites, and intentionally don't want their kind intermingling with the rest of Norrath.

Either way, fixing a bug this massively game-breaking should be priority #1, and at this point it would be fantastic to just hear that they're "looking into it". That's really not asking too much, is it?

It's called a skif.

In the context of water, skiff and shuttle are synonyms.

And, sadly, the only acknowledgement we've gotten was a 'blow-off' from a misunderstanding dev. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Maybe our microphone is broken?
