FIXED Sea Market guarded area allows recall out from boat, but not recall back to boat

[Lokai]

So, if you fish in the sea around Sea Market, you are sometimes blocked from recalling out, but you are always blocked from recalling back to your boat. Which is funny, because it will start counting down to when they will confiscate your boat or something.

If you accidentally leave your boat floating in the guarded area near sea market, it will block return saying "You are not allowed to travel there."

If you are within range of your boat from another (rescue) boat, it will also block you from teleporting to it.

All you can do is get close enough to use the gang planks.

I was using Sacred Journey in all tests.

Ya i noticed this also after the timer counts down it move your bout to the north east corner of the guard zone at the docks.

 

[Dan]

It is supposed to move your boat. This same system is in play on UO to prevent people from blocking the docks.

 

[Lokai]

So, I guess it sounds like everything is working the way it should except that you should be able to recall to your boat. Yes?

 

[Dan]

Correct, well that is what needs to be tested anyways. We need to test various recalling to and from the boat scenarios around the floating docks.

@Lokai has this issue been resolved with the recent patches?

 

[Lokai]

Recalling to the boat now works within the Sea Market region.

2 small differences still:

1. Sea Market itself is still announcing the protection of the town guards. This does not happen in EA. I don't think the market should be guarded.
2. Still getting the "You can only dock your boat here for 30 minutes." announcement. EA does not announce the time limit.

for number 2. Maybe it does if the docks are packed? I personally like the announcement because they indeed do move the boat and it lets players know. Though it seems it is actually 20 minutes. If we can do something better than UO, why not?!

Whatever your business at this bustling market, do not tarry too long, docking of ships is limited to 20 minutes, after which time your ship will be removed to the marker buoys a short distance from the structure.


Notice of removal is given 5 minutes before the event and at one minute intervals thereafter.

Can you cast summons and AOE spells there?

I would imagine this is for when you are actually there conducting business. It's a bit odd when I am at my house, and I see a message "You will sleep with the fishies!"

Or I am standing on another boat (granted this is unable to be duplicated on EA) and it says "You cannot dock a boat while you are standing on another boat or in a house." Was I trying to dock a boat? I don't think so...

Trust me, I do like the warnings. I think that's a good idea if you sail there, and are walking around and lose track of time and maybe have no recall spells to get back to your boat. I just think some things seem a bit odd when you are doing other tasks elsewhere.

I am going to mark this as fixed. The other issues are reported in your other thread.
