Description harrywardp 2014-03-07 09:38:57 CET

I was on the Providence claim in my canoe.  A naked guy starts following me, trying to get me to boat race him around the harbor.  I'm not interested so he continues to follow me.

He says he knows a secret camera exploit to see Medusa Head Jellyfish.  I follow him off the shore to watch what he was doing.

Suddenly my canoe disappears out from under me and he blocks me with his canoe until I drown then robs me of my clothes, purse, keys, etc.  On Providence claim mind you.

He claimed to be Darwoth.  Playing under the character: Magnu.

He said this bug was in game for two years.  Yet I see no mention of this on the forums.  Perhaps a tooltip needs to be added to the canoe saying that it shouldn't be used near others?

Are you sure he didn't simply destroy your canoe with the usual Destroy action?

I have no idea.  I saw nothing to indicate he was destroying my canoe.

Nor would I expect destroying a canoe from another canoe in the water to be something doable.

I'm blown away that a canoe can be destroyed while in use.  That needs to be in the tooltip if that is the case.

Only in the normal manner; it takes time, and if you move while it is being destroyed, nothing will happen.

That is to say, please verify whether that may have been the case. I cannot think of any other mechanism by which a canoe might just "disappear".
