This took a ridiculous amount of time last time I took it but not this long. Been here over one hour. And not afk'd one time either. And still no boat. Another person has been waiting much longer then that per our convo. Seams to be broken or bugged.

I've been waiting about an hour and 15 minutes so far (as of the time of this posting), and have yet to see any boat.

I'm certain it never took more than 20-30 minutes for a round trip on a single boat. But for it to not even show up? I'm convinced something is wrong; and it's weird, because I've seen a boat leave Qeynos on the other side. Does it just never make it to Erudin, or does this little shuttle not leave the docks to meet with the main ship?

Edit: Gave up, going to bed. Guess I'll try again some other time. :(

I encountered this bug earlier today as well. I ended up waiting at the docks for about an hour and just completely gave up and logged. Definitely something wrong here.

So I have been waiting for exactly thirty minutes for the boat... which means it's very probably bugged.
40 MIN
50 MIN
60 MIN

And I left.

Any word yet? Are the boats back in working order? I don't want to spend another hour waiting for no reason. :(

Please tell me you are waiting on the moving transport at the docks and not on the docks themselves...otherwise you will never see it. Its about a 30 minute wait for the boat.

I've waited 30+ minutes on the moving transport and no boat, and the transport never moves....it's definitely bugged.

Which is not good for Wizards that need to do (or redo) the Tarton's Wheel quest, as there is a rod in Erud's crossing that is needed.

Please fix asap! :D

I sat on the shuttle twice, once for 40 minutes and again for an hour and 10 minutes the next day. It didn't do squat.

The boat itself is fine (can come in from Erud's Crossing) -- the shuttle at the Erudin dock is stuck.

I've been here for about 20 mins now, the guy with me has been here, he says, over 2 hours.

I've timed the boat (when working) and it cycles about every 15 minutes.

Which means, provided you can avoid the sharks and know which direction to swim, you can get TO Erudin; you just can't leave without a port. Unless there's a way to board the ship without the shuttle that I'm not aware of. :/

Sharks aren't too bad -- swim dead west to get to dock; I've never found a way to board a boat other than the dock, or in the case, the shuttle..

Curse my people for never doing anything simple.... :P

Yeah I'm wondering what's going on. I saw so many people in Paineel / Toxx over the last couple days and not a one was a Wizard or Druid. I feel sorry for all those stranded inkies and iksar that were grinding Paineel guards. :P

Not to mention the Human Enchanters who go to Erudin since its the only place this side of Antonica that sells Tiny Daggers. >.>

I hope they get down to the bottom of this sooner rather than later. Or at least put in translocators until the shuttle is fixed... :(

I sat on the Shuttle when I waited for over an hour then gated out. It never moved and the ship never appeared out i the harbor.

Any sign yet of the boat working? I'd rather not have to wait for an hour in Erudin for nothing.

And I thought no beneficial faction hits with Erudin for killing kobalds was lame. This was fairly annoying when I was sitting around for a good while. I ended up waiting for it out in the water, levitated, so I could jump on it. It doesn't even seem like it gets anywhere near where the moving dock would get to it. Keep this bumped, maybe it will get attention and get fixed.

It did line up, it's just a long way out.

Thanks to Malkav and his friends (esp Adriel) I've fine tuned the locs.

If you swim to neg 390 neg 1645 and face SOUTH you will see the boat as it pops in zone (takes roughly 15 mins for the boat to cycle it's route) -- Adriel worked this next part out -- swim directly headon into the bow of the boat while rapidly pressing space and looking at the crows nest and you will board the boat. (listen to your footsteps; I almost missed that I had boarded, lol)

Thanks again, guys, that was fun. :P

Orzenn

06-03-2011, 05:18 AM

Shuttle still stuck :(

Boat still works -- pops in zone at around neg 390 neg 1645 and pauses as it would normally (giving me time to board using trick above) then paths to shuttle point and pauses to wait for shuttle -- shuttle never disembarks -- the boat then continues it route.

This sucks! I figured I would start an Erudite tonite and now I wait for the boat for an hour and come on here and find out it's broken!!

Deathrydar

06-03-2011, 06:04 PM

The above "fix" worked and I was able to swim on to the boat, but it took a while and it sucked real bad.

Now, can someone head to Qeynos and bind me? LoL!! I'm not going thru that again!!

Odd that there has been no response from the devs by this point on this issue. Usually they are right on this sort of thing.

Can confirm today that the shuttle in erudin is not moving to the ship. It's rooted here at the docks in erudin. The ship comes and goes where the shuttle should be but the shuttle never comes and the boat continues on. This bites if you're not a caster so you can't cast gate.

Deathrydar

Also kind of sucks for new people that doubt this server's "classic-ness".

Imagine two knuckleheads hear about the server and they say "yeah dude, let's make Erudites cause they look hella-cool in plate".

So the two knuckleheads create Erudites.......

Now class, what's the first thing you do when you create an Erudite?

**little Timmy raises his hand**

Yes Timmy?

Timmy says, "re roll after you realize you didn't put enough points into STR?"

No Timmy, that is not correct! The first thing you do when you create an Erudite is head to the dock to get on the boat to Qeynos so you can hunt in a real area.

Ahem....meanwhile, back to the knuckleheads...

Knucklehead #1 looks at knucklehead #2 and says "wow, I knew the boats took a long time to show up, but damn."
Knucklehead #2 says "They said the boats worked, let's just wait".

After an hour or two waiting with no boat, one of two things would probably happen:

1.One of the knuckleheads goes to the forums and finds out it's broke and laughs and maybe logs off and says FAIL to P1999.
2.They decide that it's not worth waiting anymore and go create other characters.

There seems to be a misunderstanding as to what we mean...

We know the boat is fine; in fact, I posted a method of boarding the boat whilst in the water.

What is down is the shuttle, as pictured below.

It never moves when the boat enters zone. The boat will stop where it should to wait for the shuttle (which never arrives) and then the boat leaves, continuing it's route.

EDIT:
Just swam around and watched boat enter zone. The shuttle never moved. As of this post, the only way off Odus is either by port, or the 'hit-or-miss' method I posted earlier. :(

Okay, read the following carefully (and I mean that as kindly as possible). Go to the Erudin docks and wait for the boat there yourself. I guarantee you it WON'T ever arrive (due to the shuttle being stuck as many have already pointed out).

I too can confirm it still doesn't work as of today June 9th. Worked perfectly for me a month ago, so I know how to board it. The shuttle IS bugged, and in a very game-breaking way.

lol this is why myself and the 3 friends i brought to p99 have left. not the boat itself, but because of a number of broken so called "classic" features, and smartass dev's with a god complex. hey everybody, uthgaard knows what he's talking about, the boats not fucked up, 4 pages of poster's are just retarded... sigh... Uthgaard why do you have to be a cocky prick about it?

Two, 70 minute waits on the Erudin shuttle =/= waiting 5 minutes for the boat. Sorry to put it so bluntly but its clear there's a huge misunderstanding of what the actual problem is.

Rotted_Corpse

06-10-2011, 01:50 AM

There has been a TON of communication on this thread about the issue. This started as I was not able to see the boat come from the harbor (sitting on the shuttle) and posted that the boat is broken as the shuttle never leaves to meet it. Then someone swam out there and found the boat actually does come. So it is just the shuttle that is "officially" broken.

And as you see from my orig post I waited WAY LONGER then 5 mins. OVER 1 HOUR!

I guess not reading the entire thread (or the orig post for that matter) is whats being done here so they don't fully understand the problem.

The devs said you need to swim to around -400 -1700, wait for the boat, and hop onto it when it arrives by swimming into it - this is a temporary workaround. (Best to aim for the mast.)
Yes, I tested it, and yes, it works.

This wasn't from the devs, lol.

A group of people and myself worked this method out, and I posted it when I was able to nail down the locs.

The shuttle -- see below
http://www.project1999.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=1178&stc=1&d=1307638714

Is still stuck.

Updated via boarding boat in Qeynos -- when boat arrived in Erudin, the shuttle (see above) did not meet with the boat for loading/unloading of passengers.

Orzenn

06-11-2011, 11:28 AM

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, the 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.

^ Agreed 100%. This absolutely should be sticky'd in order to not confuse and frustrate the hell out of people.

Although I will say, I finally /petitioned to get me out of Odus and go to Qeynos due to Erudin's transportation obviously being broken. Before I knew it (in less than 10 seconds after I petitioned), I was ported to South Qeynos docks.

Sure it's not the ideal solution to this, but it easily and safely got my poor newb Erudite out of Odus finally. Perhaps the more people petitioning for ports, the more attention this massive issue will get.
