Please fix disconnecting in canoe, and fix clipping

[martinuzz]

One thing that really annoys the crap out of me in Salem, is losing stuff when I disconnect in canoe. About 50% of the time, the canoe slightly moves after I disconnect, causing me not to be able to log back into it, and forcing me to drop all my stuff in inventory. I just lost 14 agropelter hides, which I kinda needed to pay upkeeps. This just happens too often to be bearable. Either make is so that canoes have a wider clipping box for re-entry after log-out, or find some other way to fix this please, please, please.

Another issue, losing stuff because of item clipping. I've lost count on how much valuables that has cost me. For example, disconnecting while in between a gate. everything drops at the spot, and can't be retrieved. Please, it can't be that hard to fix it, so that items do not drop under objects anymore?

Perhaps, get rid of the whole "drop inventorty on unable to login at last spot" thing?

That's definetly an annoying issue, but I think they can't really do anything to just outright remove that mechanic. At best they can fix boat issues, and where items drop so as to not overlap with fixed structures. But letting you keep your inventory when you're stuck, while still porting back, would mean free teleports for everyone Wander off, forage a bunch of charms, pick up boulder, log off. Would you like to not walk back to your camp but rather teleport there? Yes/No. I imagine one of the only things they could do is remove the teleport entirely, and just relocate your character to the closest non-occupied bit of space, as well as make inventory stuff drop properly, collide with walls and stop somewhere where they can be picked up again.

I think just teleporting the char to the nearest unoccupied tile (that is NOT on a claim, to prevent wall jumping abuse), without losing inventory would be the most elegant solution in this case.
Can't be abused to port home fast, can't be used to jump walls, there's no need to change object clipping, since stuff doesn't drop anymore.
And the code to move to nearest unoccupied tile is already in, for liftable objects.
Worst that can happen is that you have to walk back to grab a second canoe to retrieve your canoe from the ocean

The object clipping issue is still present when dying and dropping inventory. If they want there to be an inventory penalty for dying, they can just make stuff disappear entirely, not leave it up to a chance and wether you're near structures of any kind.

Please fix this. I had this happen 3 times today while I rowed to get water for a friend. It should have been 30 minutes round trip but it took twice as long because I had to keep logging in an alt in a canoe to follow myself and move the boat slightly so I could log back in.

It's really frustrating! I've given up exploring and it's sapping my interest in playing at all.

Please don't needlessly bump old threads. The devs are aware of the issue and are diligently working towards resolving all issues.
