[Possible Bug] Luck of the Albatross - Using the Whistle

YourNameHere · March 2015

I'm working on Luck of the Albatross, AD side quest. I'm at the part where I can use the captain's whistle to call an Albatross Crewman to assist me in a fight.

So I go to an enemy, hit E to use the whistle ... and one of these happen

1) The whistle doesn't even work (no one shows up)
2) The whistle works, but the crew member is just standing there and never fights

I have never gotten this whistle to work in this quest, ever. Which is making it a pain as I don't get the help as stated in the quest.

Still bugged.

I played this today and that same thing happened. What gives? I abandoned that quest out of frustation and I'm two levels the recommendation.

Resolution: Rise up to level 26 and go back. At this point I don't give a damn f I don't get any XP from it.

I don't understand how to even use the damn thing! I can't quickslot it, the "Press E to use" never appears - so how do you know when you can or can't use it? This is just plain bloody stupid! In fact the whole quickslot mechanic thing is crap IMO.

The ONLY way i can get to use this thing is to (1) Open Inventory (2) Go to Quest items (3) Click the whistle to use it. (4) ALT to exit inventory. (5) Wait for NOTHING to happen.

Not exactly an efficient way to handle a combat situation is it?! Dumb fuks!
