Guild Wars 2

WTF is wrong with this?!

I get to the part where I’m supposed to help Ellie below decks and there is no door leading to the hull to go down there, I jump off of the ship thinking perhaps I have to do something from the out side of the ship only to get transferred back to the deck.

There’s no walk through online,

Further more there’s this bug thread that states this quest has been broken since 2012.

Seriously why hasn’t any one disabled this story path if it isn’t fixable?

So I’m basically stuck forever with a character I’ve spent a ton of time with only to be stuck in a story loop for ever?

Wow this is very very shoddy unprofessional work.

Perhaps, follow the advice Jeffrey (Dev) posts in the threads.

Good luck.

I made it through, I just expected a bit more polish after years of playing that other game (that if I named this thread would cease to be).

Do you mean World of Warcraft? You can name that or many (maybe any) other game without the thread getting locked. I do it all the time. (Although I mainly talk about Elder Scrolls Online because I actually play it.)

I’ve done this many times and never found it confusing, but I’m going to be doing it again soon and I’ll try to update the walkthrough on the Wiki when I do so it’s clearer what you need to do.

Can you explain exactly what the problem was? Were you unable to find the walkway down to the hold, or was it blocked by something? Did the UI not update to tell you where to go? Did something that should have spawned not appear?

(I can try and update the walkthrough without this info, but as I said I’ve never had trouble with it so I’d be guessing what what needs to be added, it would be much more helpful if you can explain it to me.)

Below deck navigation is confusing because it’s hard to get perspective. I had trouble with it, too. But if you walk around carefully, you’ll find it’s just hard to find the opening to get below decks.

The wiki article includes a walkthrough.

That’s not what it says.

There are three bugs listed. It is clear from the description of each that not everyone is affected. There’s even a work-around for the first two, so you can easily avoid them. There is a single bug listed without a work-around and that was listed by an anonymous editor in 2014; there’s no explanation of that bug on the talk page, which might mean it’s incredibly rare.

More importantly, those bugs have absolutely nothing to do with the issue you reported: finding Merri below decks to help with the ooze problem.

Because it’s not broken.

Basically, you’re not stuck. You just need to adjust your camera, move around more carefully, or get someone to help you inside the instance.

Or it’s a simple misunderstanding of the mechanics in the instance.

I’m more concerned as to why they called it “Ship of the Line” when the ship in question clearly isn’t a ship of the line.
