Details:
The Boat Edvard Found is marked with a wrong symbol on compass.
After getting the message "Location of the Boat Edvard Found marked on compass" to your chat window,
you just don't see any boat symbol on your compass even you turn around 360 degrees
and after that you get very confused.
The boat is marked with the Gate symbol on compass instead.
To figure out that the gate symbol means the boat, you need to hover your mouse over the gate symbol.
The boat should be marked with a boat symbol on compass instead.

We don't have a boat symbol for POIs. That's the same symbol we use for scene exits and it hasn't changed in that scene.... the only thing that changed was that it activates earlier and the name is more descriptive.

 

@Lum
As you don't have any boat symbol for POIs, use either the port_Discovery_ToOverworld symbol ( ) or the port_Discovery_WayPoint symbol ( ) to describe the boat to Soltown instead. Using any of the other two symbols ( or ) would be more descriptive for traveling to Soltown by boat than using the gate symbol. Compass in Battle of Solace Bridge is nonintuitive for the new players in its current state and you need to change the POI symbol for the boat to make more sense for the new players.

 

OK OK you convinced me (we'll use the waypoint symbol, since you don't actually go to the overworld)
