Occurs In:
Build 12122
Description of Bug:
When the mini-cinematic of Neptulon fighting the Naga "army" ends and control is returned to the player, everything disappears. This makes the quest impossible to finish.
Without a deeper understanding of what is actually happening here I can't be more specific than that, as it could be anything from the player not being moved out of the phase that has just ended correctly, to the player being moved into the wrong phase, or moved into the correct (but unfinished) phase. Or it could be something as simple as everything does actually just despawn.
How to Reproduce:
Just follow the quest through as you would normally. I have done so about 6 times now, and this has happened each and every time.
Other Comments:
1. Some areas of the submarine causing pathing glitches, such as the two 'windows' at the sides of the ship. If you move onto one, your character becomes stuck in the window and can't move. Auto-unstick fixes this.
2. The lowered section between the forward window and the control platform has a glitch that when stood on acts as if it wasn't there, and your character falls through the ship into the water outside, linked movement with the ship is also broken. Can be fixed by mounting the Abyssal Manta and chasing the Sub to get back on board.
3. Sub cannons don't seem to be able to hit anything.
4. The railings around the ship are easily fired into if you're aiming down even just a little, they could do with being lowered, or the cannons raised slightly.
5. It's also not particularly clear at this point (on the submarine) in the quest what you're supposed to be doing. The Sub cannons can't hit anything, and you're easily able to leave the sub before the attack finishes, and you are unable to attack the Naga that ultimately destroys the vessel.
6. Sometimes a Naga will pick you up and try to get away with you, sometimes it won't.
7. The mini-cinematic could do with some sort of small event to explain what's actually happening, I was quite confused the first time it started as I was moving, but unable to control that movement, or where the camera was pointing.
8. Experienced lots of (probably unrelated) #132 crashes while doing this quest.
