I know this has been brought up before, Nesox said he'd check into it before the last release but its gone mute since....
There are two issues:
First, when you apear on the boat, 20 to 25% of the time it will attempt to leave the boat to goto the original starting point for the boat and as such jump into the water or get stuck on the boat trying to get off to goto that point. This is an instant "I'm A Bot" sign stamped on the toons forehead. I've watched a few times when this happens and at each time i let it continue on its own, it swims back out to a spot in the water where the boat started (there's an outline of the boat at that point). It takes awhile usually for it to turn around and start heading to battle (which unless you have water walking or water form can take forever and sometimes the entire BG is over by then)
Possible fix for this would be maybe to disable all movement of the toon in SoTA until it actually begins? Meaning have it stop trying to goto the "starting point"? That is where its having the issue as its ignoring the fact its on a boat.
Second issue is when defending, the toon will 50/50 just stay on the platform for various periods of time, as if it doesn't realize the battle has begun and as such will not move unless you force it to jump off the platform while the bot is active... or stop the bot and then move it away and restart it.
Attached is a log from when the Boat issue happened this morning ... if I"m able to notice it happening with the Defender side I'll try to get the log for that also.
