Conscript the Dead ships possibly bugged
Did you talk to them while they were building the path to the next ship? I’ll try to reproduce this (I’ve completed this story step several times) but I’ve seen this pop up occasionally for events/story steps. (Sometimes talking to the NPC will make them abort what they were doing.)
Update: Just completed it succesfully, so I need to know what you might have done differently.
I didn’t speak to them during the gangplank being put down, I just waited for it to be put down and then ran across once down.
Oh also worth noting, I seem to spawn on the final boat when starting the boat steps rather than on the rowboat, which may also explain why no waves spawn.
I just had this happen to me. Said nothing while final gangplank went down and no spawns on the last ship.
The problem is still occuring, After the first cutscene when transported to the ships, for some reason I appear in the brig of the final ship, along with Elli’s Hologram (Oddly enough without Elli) and Merri. To rectify this, I jump over the side to end up at the dingy. The first three ships all spawn, but Elli and Jeyne still refuse to move after Elli’s speech and theres still no spawn.

This exact same problem happened to me. I started in the lower decks of the final ship, I jumped off and it put me on the dingy as well. Went through it all and at the last ship I got the conversation right before they put it down and once it was down nothing. Both Elli and Jeyne won’t move and there are no spawns. Didn’t talk to the npcs while the dialog ran, when fighting I returned to the 2nd ship to recover because I was a squishy elementalist in tight quarters lol. Had no deaths durring the mission just one “fight for your life” and that’s about it. This was on the Borlis Pass Server.
Ok just ran the mission again and it worked. Things i did differently: Before i got on the boat i did only the required conversation options. Once I changed areas this time I started in the right place. No deaths or downs, and I did not return to ships after I unlocked the next one. With all that it worked fine. The internet I am using temporarily is pretty slow, (not sure what the speed is since it’s my parents house). So maybe it’s an issue with load times as well? (thinking maybe it worked better since it had already loaded the mission once, idk. But i hope this helps in the debugging =))
Having tried now everything worked perfectly and I have now completed the step. I think the problem was during the cutscene before you end up on the dingy I had a second loading screen, which displaced me causing the mission to be impossible to complete. This time it loaded properly and I completed it, something to look into.
