Can't leave The Skyfire during MoP Remix Intro

It was after the gyrocopter and the next quest when you are tasked with going down on the parachute. On all of my characters I had clicked the parachute, clicked the dismount button and then flew down without a problem but after today’s reset and hotfixes it seems like they broke something. You just constantly get teleported back up if you don’t take the parachute down and then when you actually take the parachute down, if will still randomly teleport you back to The Skyfire. I had it happen to me 10 times before I was finally able to complete the quests down in the Horde base and it hasn’t happened again since I’ve gotten to Paw’don Village.

Couldn’t tell you; it never happened to me.

I would send that on as a bug report then.

Same issue, i just used dragonriding to get away towards the post event area when you leave that starting island zone and then walk back across the bridge to get in.

Did you do the bit where you roam around in a helicopter shooting things? Maybe that is the hang up?

I’m having the same issue, except that I never tried to leave the ship early. I did the shoot up the orcs quest in the gyrocopter, turned in, did the stuff to teach you about gems/breaking down gear, took the parachute down, had enough time to turn in and pick up the next two quests, and it ported me back up to the ship.

If I try to fly off, it ports me back. There is no longer a parachute to use. I have done six characters in remix so far, and this, the seventh, is the only one this has happened to.

ETA: I also just tried jumping off, and it ports me back. I am just stuck on the ship.

There’s a spot below the ship (or in a column?) where you get ported back if you cross it. I mounted up and flew away from the bow of the airship (north), and I finally was able to get off the ship. Seems a new bug, didn’t happen to me any time before today.

I logged back in to try it, and it seems to have worked. I made it to the village. THANK YOU! I was going insane trying to figure out how to get off the ship. Even trying to suicide off didn’t work.

But can verify, fly straight off the front of the ship, straight forward, until you’re over land again, and then you can go down and proceed.

ETA: Do not go get the bronze glowy orbs over the buildings in the Horde base though, or you get ported back to the ship again. >.<

just getting this now 7 toons nothing now it just teleports me back i got so far as completing the first grouping of quests and was poofed back.

I had the same problem, i fixed it by getting on my flying mount, hugging the side of the skyfire and flying onto the docks at the shore, fixed the problem

had that happen both horde and alliance side - there is a spot where if you try to fly over it - you get teleported back in for some reason. only way I could fix it is circle REALLY wide around the ship instead of trying to fly anywhere near it.

So apparently the ship has a trigger that goes all the way to the ground. If you are doing the follow up quest and stray too close it will port you back topside. Only way I have found is to use dragonriding and get away as fast as possible then you should be safe, and dont venture under the ship after.

I found this interesting. I had the same issue, whenever I left the ship it would return me. On no other character have I had this issue, but it was occurring on my Death Knight. What I found is that I can’t go anywhere near the base of the ship or anywhere on the ground under the ship’s area which was basically on the west shorline. If you stay away from that small area, you can fly down and complete the quests. But even after completing the quests, I still couldn’t walk on the west shore without being teleported to the ship.

I was able to get back on the ground by summoning a Dragonriding mount and flying back down to the ground. Other flying mounts may work as well, not too sure.

Happened to me several times, you have to move away fast or it will teleport you back, its coded like your falling off, can also hearth back to timeless and use the portal to the town to leave if thats easier

Y’all really tryin to skip the intro quest?

I don’t see the advantage, or any advantage, from doing that.

This is what I figured out as well. The area that is the problem is almost directly under the ship. As long as I fly away from that area, I avoid getting ported back to the ship.

It’s weird because I just noticed this today. I already took two characters through the Alliance starting area and did not encounter this issue. But just today, I was taking a new character through there and the issue occurred.

**** FIX **** Just use a hearth toy. Gets you off the ship and then fly back to the content, just south of where you hearth. Worked for me!! Enjoy playing again!

This just happened to me. I was actually on the ground and completed one of the quests and was finishing up another one and it teleported me back onto the stinking airship. Now I can’t get off. Can’t fly off, can’t jump off…it just ports me back onto it.

Used my Eternal Traveler’s Hearthstone which was set to send me to the Jade Forest. This seems to have fixed it. Only thing I can think of was I was flying around near the orc camp that was just under the skyship. It probably zoned me and I got trapped. Don’t fly in the first quest zone.

This happened to me, what I was able to do was fly off the front of the Skyfire and head towards Paw’don, then turn and pivot to Sully once I made it that far. Seems as long as the Skyfire is still standing, you have a chance to keep getting sucked back onto the deck. No, I did not skip the quests or try to come back after leaving.

Same I just started Remix today, due to IRL, although for me I was literally killing the sha mobs, for quest and got ported back up, and stuck in the loop
