Live boats
The only problem with the boats on live is that SOE is too damn lazy to fix the pathing... the boat model they have is solid as a rock. and you can ride it all day if you want to keep swimming back to catch it... Taking it from Erudin for example gets you to the island just fine... but when the boat leaves the island on it's way back to Qeynos it runs through the zone wall and then warps back on path (without you).
When returning from Qeynos the boat works just fine as well... again until it leaves the dock at the island and promptly wails right through the island itself.
The point about the "editing" the models that was made earlier is completely valid... we have solid character models shaped like boats that can be used. such as the "viking" ship that is used on p99.
No one is talking about "painting" the boats there talking about re-building or rather updating the structure using something tried tested and true... like 3ds max.
