Tow To Port Changed?

[seanjo]

I'm on the PvE server and as I have done many times I sail past Serena towards Pedro/KPR wait for Carlisle to be closer than San Andres, then click the Tow to Port...I ended up spawning at Old Providence, a county capital...has there been a change? Or was this a bug?

If so, I greatly appreciate the quick fix of the tow to port!

Not sure it's intentional.

Anyone know if there is a thread that explains the mechanics of tow to port.  (Perhaps I need to attend Hogwarts to learn about it)

It (used) to be that it would take you to the nearest non-capital, non-shallow port. Not sure now.

Tow to port now teleports to the closest deep water port.

So I can teleport directly to KPR when it's close enough.

 

And when did that get change?

Good change. Limiting teleport exploit and that was outdated mechanic back from the county capital RvR PBs. Now we have all ports PBs.

I thought the restriction was to stop PB fleets magically appearing at main ports for PB's.

Tow to port takes you, after a countdown, to the nearest deep water NON-Capitol port.

It was changed yesterday I think....it's why you should check the patch notes pages.  Though they could be a bit better on the updates of hot fix at times.

It was posted after all this morning by @Ink

It was a bit obscure hidden in the patch 24 thread, it deserved a title of its own I think.
