Bug: Unsuitable Suitors

So, I'm in Murkmire and try to do the Quest Unsuitable Suitors - the third hint leads me to a little hut/platform/watchtower-thingy, but the floor is "fake" and you always fall through it! Do you see that little quest item on the left side? I have no clue how to get there. You can jump on the little mat on the right side, but that doesn't really get me anywhere. I've tried for 10 minutes now to jump on the railing, the barrels, anything, but even when you fall down and use the ladder to get up, you just immediately fall down again. So far I've seen three other players try and fail at this. I'm a completionist so I would love to finish this quest before moving on to another area.

    My partner had this and tried for three days (we did report it). He finally did it by getting on his horse and jumping toward the crate, unmounting as soon as he got onto it, then jumping from the crate behind the ladder. It took him many attempts and lots of foul language but he managed it in the end. There was a constant rain of players falling through the floor...

    Oh damn, thumbs up for your partner's determination! I tried jumping on the railing with my mount and without it, but after that, you can only ever look at the hint to the object (EVEN THOUGH IT'S DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME) and can't jump anymore -- at least with the gamepad which I'm using constantly. Maybe I have to switch controls around or use the keyboard for this...

    This shouldn't be the solution, of course, I hope someone will finally look into this and fix it (can't be that difficult to basically turn collision on lmao), but for now I'll try your partner's way of getting to it, we'll see how patient I can be!

    Yes he uses a controller as well and had the same issue, he did it by switching to the keyboard eventually. But yes, hopefully it will get fixed, it's not a platformer after all xD. Also someone else did it by jumping from the mat to the large barrel and then to the crate lol.

    I MADE IT!
    Thank you so much for the tip. Took me way too many attempts and every time I feel down I cursed so much, any sailor would've blushed. But I switched the jump button temporarily to X and not A anymore, so I was able to jump from that crate to the ladder and climb up. I will never do this quest ever again, holy moly...

    Every time I was there, I saw tons of people falling through the floor again and again, doesn't seem like it's an exclusive problem only some encounter. But I guess most people fall through two to three times, get frustrated and move on without opening a bug ticket.

    Why hasn't this been fixed? I cant complete this quest. This is the third quest in Murkmire I haven't been able to complete because of bugs .Irony seen and ignored.

    Look further up, Ragged_Claw posted a solution. Not a comfortable or convenient one, but with a bit of patience you can complete this quest. I did it that way, too!

    I guess on the list of tickets and problems this little bug doesn't have the highest priority, but it also seems easy to fix and doesn't seem to require a lot of effort. Maybe someday they'll hear us.

    Yeah, that’s helpful but not a fix. I’m on a pc so the fine motor skills aren’t there for precise jumping. So I’m trying but not getting anywhere using the workaround.

    A controller can be very helpful here. I needed a lot of tries, too, a lot of times I jumped too far with my mount and fell down. Luckily there's a fast way up to the right side if you jump up the rock formations. It helped for me to jump a bit "early" and not sprint with the mount, just run without the boost.

    I had the same problem today.

    Because I'm a sorcerer, I could use Bolt Escape (Streak) to teleport from the mat to the platform section on the left, which was solid. Had to do it from the mat so I could run smack into the railing. Otherwise, I overshot it.

    How is this even a thing? Like, was this quest never put through any testing? Considering Murkmire 8 months old now as well... Really no excuse. Fake floors, fake devs.

    Yet another bug in Mirkmire.

    Still Broken, another load of us trying to get this complete, jumping like friggin lemmings.

    Wonder why people bother reporting stuff you just don't fix.

    Two weeks later and still isn't fixed, and no, trying to do some idiotic gymnastics to finish the quest is not an acceptable solution. Glad I cancelled my sub and definitely not buying Elseweyr, you guys should be ashamed.

    Stiiiiill bugged. Me and two other random players spent a long time falling through the floor till we each finally made it to the crate in the back corner and then jumped to the deck where the ladder up is. I did it on my mount with Rapid Maneuver, not sure how the other two did it. If I didn't miss and fall through the floor, I would get stuck inside the floor where the ladders are till I tried to jump forward. I play on PC using a gamepad, and I turned off the UI so I wouldn't keep getting the prompt to use my quest clue while trying to jump, since they use the same button on controller UI and make it impossible to jump.

    It's known that the support people don't pay attention to bug reports filed in-game, so report the issue through a trouble ticket sent via the website. Flood 'em till they fix it just to shut us up. :P
