Blizzard Replies to "Zeppelins broken?": Temporary Portals at Docks and Zeppelin Towers
BlizzardBlizzard blue postPosted by Blizzard staff on the official forums or newsPosted
On WoW Forever's launch day, a forum thread asked "Zeppelins broken?". Blizzard WoW Game Developer Aggrend replied on .
What the thread was about
- The original poster said they had been standing in the zeppelin tower in Tirisfal Glades for over 10 minutes. They heard the zeppelin's horn, but the zeppelin never appeared.
- Many replied that they had the same problem. Most reports came from RP-PvP realms, and some said it only happened on certain layers. Whether other realm types were affected was not settled in the thread.
- One player said that on Zephras Isle, switching layers made the zeppelins appear, but boarding sent them back to the graveyard. Another was teleported to Goldshire while trying to meet a friend, and another could no longer log in to their character after trying several ways to leave the island.
Aggrend's reply
Hi There,
We are aware of some issues with transports such as boats and zeppelins becoming lost in the maelstrom for extended periods of time.
As a temporary fix, we’ve spawned portals near most transport docks or inside of the zeppelin towers to help you move between continents if your boat gets lost. We have a proper fix going out , and once we’ve verified that’s in and working, we’ll be removing those portals.
Hope this helps. Thank you!

Right after the reply, one player said it was nice to see the bugs being looked into so quickly.
What this means for players
- If a boat or zeppelin does not show up, you can use the portal near the dock or inside the zeppelin tower to reach the other continent. The reply says "most" docks, so some may not have one.
- The proper fix is planned for . Once it is confirmed, the portals will be removed and you will need to take boats and zeppelins again.
