Ship Under Bridge Travel

[Zorce]

Why cant ships travel under bridges? I used to sail through Vesper bridges all the time but cant seem to do so??

[Hemperor]

you're thinking of the Dreams expansion.

There are a lot of issues with boats right now currently stopping when they hit ANY object on the water....these will be addressed in future updates. Be patient!

I'm not aware that ships were ever able to travel under bridges myself, but there are few bridges in the world where this would even be possible.

We've modified the ships no no longer be blocked by corpses, however I was hesitant to turn then into giant vacuum cleaners for all items upon the sea.

Side note: The spawn of Water Elementals, and a few sea serpents has been increased on this high seas as of yesterday afternoon, and the issue with fishing failure at GM should now be fixed at of this morning's restart.

How much of an "increase" are we talking about?

*Recalls to boat and is poisoned/lightning by 37 serps and eles*
OH dear god, it burns!!!!

About double. but they were pretty sparse
Doubling may not actually be enough so show much of a density increase.

(sorry for derailing this thread)
Back on Boat/Bridges discussion....

Yeah Vesper was always boat friendly. I used to sail to the bank all the time and back out to sea. On the free shards though and past shard I worked on, when fixing this issue we found a bug where if a player was on the bridge and a boat went under the boat would pick up the player. I believe to fix the exploit, we had made it so if a player was on the bridge the boat would just stop as if it hit a wall or something. Not a big deal, or by any means a major issue, just inquiring.

I'm not sure about going under bridges, but I never remember being "T-boned" by a dolphin stopping forward movement. This gets annoying when sailing any sort of length for mibs

[Duke Jones]

hahah agreed.
I used to LOVE dolphins before i played this game.

"Forward"
"Aye aye... We seemed to have stopped, sir"
"#&%$ing peice of @#&* dolphins!!! I just want to go five #&%$ing minutes without being #&%$ing stopped by a #&%$ing dolphin. I can't move #&%$ing forward!!!"
"Aye aye... We seemed to have stopped, sir"
*sigh*
>>squeeky squeeky click!<<
"#&%$ you, dolphin..."

[Zorce]

I dont mind the sea life out there now and I have done alot of sailing. It is a inconvenience to maneuver around wild life but I am pretty good at it and I also think this helps and hinders some afk boaters...lol

Also back to bridges, You used to be able to sail under the big bridge in Serps Hold too. I have to swing around the whole island to enter the other cove lol.

LOL classic. I feel the same way.

[dog1706]

I hate those lil bastards

nothing like being 400 tiles away from an mib and start sailing forward and looking at a website only to click back on my screen to see a dolphin doing friggin flips out of the water.
