Hogsworth -> Hogsend Boat Travel

[MattyPoltergeist]

In the quest Journey to Hogsend, you obtain the ability to sail a bot from the Hogsworth Boat House to the Hogsend Boat House. However, after the quest you lose the option to do this! Why? There's no negative and there are already countless ways to get between Hogsend and Hogsworth so it's not anything huge and it makes it more realistic and cool. This could be done only after you finish the quest (if that's possible), it would give a sense of completion and worth

I like this idea and I agree that this should be implemented because it makes sense to have it.

Hello! I'll now bring up your idea to the rest of the poltergeists team so we can discuss it and come back with a response as soon as possible. Thank you for your suggestion, it means a lot to us!

I like this idea, and it gives people a reason to go down to the boat house.

 

[TimeSolstice]

Haha I had the same idea, it'd make a lot of sense considering the road for Hogsend is across the lake as well from the boat house.

I went back there to go again and it didn't work so I thought my game was broke xD. Anyways, great suggestion!

I think this makes a lot of sense but there is the problem that it eliminates the use of the secret passage from Hogsworth -> Hogsend. Right now theres 3 options for getting to Hogsend: swimming, flying or secret passage. For those who can't fly, they either swim or take the secret passage. A lot of people prefer the secret passage over swimming, which means that introducing a boating system would mean that no-one would take the secret passage as it's now a choice between sailing or secret passage.
I hope that makes sense, it was a bit long-winded haha

It's nice that there is a secret passage, but I've never heard about and never found any.
I like Matty's idea btw.

I've just kept the quest uncompleted so I can use the boat...

That's genius haha, wish I'd thought of that. The quest didn't even give that much

Hello @MattyPoltergeist (and everyone else who commented on the thread),
thank you so much for leaving your suggestions and opinions on this thread!
We are therefore happy to inform you that this is something we would like to implement in the future, alongside perhaps keeping other fast travel systems used in quests. We think this suggestion would be quite useful and it would add to the realism of the server. However, currently our priorities lie elsewhere so there's no ETA on when this will happen.
Thank you for bringing this up to us and enjoy your day!

yay

@Aurora Heya, isn't this now implemented ? I believe I travelled by boat to Hogsend and back not too long ago.

So, marking this as Completed ✓ ?
