TheWoWDBStill bugged as of 11.0.2. I have movement keys again, but when I move the crab the entire camera shifts and it runs straight into the water instead, so I still have no option but to chill at the starting point. I can move out of the swirls and move right back though, so that's a positive I guess?

The random delays between keypress and crab movement are obviously completely intentional, and inserted by Blizzard to make the quest more interesting ...
I don't hate the Beachhead quest because I hate turtles. I'm not looking to get revenge on those sweet little things. I hate the quest and its broken mechanics, and how tedious that makes it. I just pray that this one actually works.
