When they updated DirectX in the EverQuest Client they broke object collision, you fall through boats now so it will never work.

I didn't know that. Still, that sounds like something Sony would do--- "Well, we broke it. Let's make a patch and make it seem like it was broken to begin with and that we've fixed it by breaking it. Also, nerf two random classes. It will seem more authentic like that."

Wow, we've come a long way! Will Farrel and the guy from Tom Goes to the Mayor/Tim and Eric's Awesome Show solved the problem?

**joligario** · #11 05-27-2010, 02:22 AM

Yeah, I couldn't help myself.

Could someone please tell me the current status on ships and why they are such a problem? I just realized the raft in oasis isnt working at all and the boats in qeynos / freeport are warping badly.

Maybe we could work something out together to get them working.

The old school EQ boats have not worked for a long time as far as you being able to properly walk on them and such due to a DX upgrade in EQ. They were replacd by NPC's at docks and such that you hail for your destination.

The rafts could be setup to work but by default without a quest file no they do not do anything.

the alternative gender of race 73 ship, display some pre-beta viking boat which is very solid
however that thing is HUGE (size of icebreaker) and won't re-size - it simply doesn't fit into a qeynos harbor
