Sailing MEGATHREAD: Sailing (Non-Hunter)/Ships/Lack of Ships

[Darkslinger]

Bug: Sailing

Enemy ships do not conform to the laws of physics and break every rule possible to reach the pirate. (Eg: Traveling through each other, War Galleon/Frigate combo)

Ships pop-in as you sail. The seas appear to be empty, until a war combo ship blows you up.

On another note, there are a multitude of refinements and improvements (big and small) that have been made to the game and I crash less often. So thanks devs, and keep it up.

At 6:30 AM EST it seems like all the oceans went off and have 0 population, probably due to maintenance or something. Any insight guys?

 

[Darkslinger]

I think that the oceans are populated, however there are pop-in issues making ships appear only when you're much closer. It seems like the ocean is empty while it isn't.

yeah I'm assuming it's for an update, maybe they are fixing the problem from earlier

they were referring to the servers being down

Oh, ok. Thanks for clarifying that. Hope they're applying new updates!

Just some stuff I say was small ships like navy ferret and viper spawn in each other sometimes. Not that big but still weird

 

[Darkslinger]

Is it normal for sailing rep+/loot to be super low+/bad?

Ships barely spawn at all in my experience.

Actually, the ships are there, you just can't see them. The ocean seems empty but it's full of ships. What's going on is that for some reason they don't appear from long distances. I noticed after probably being around 500 feet away from a ship, it spawns (or rather appears on screen). This is one of the bigger bugs they need to look at because it ruins the otherwise great experience out at sea. It also could cause issues when privateering.

Yeah i get this issue sometimes too, try to find the lowest point of land to spawn you up.

You can't repair damage to a ship if it's only to the sails

I havent been seeing any enemy ships i feel like they may need to turn up the spawn rates on those

 

[BeanThePirate]

I actually just crashed at sea but there were literally no ships whatsoever

I just took screen shots of that I will upload later though I'm sure they're fully aware

I've noticed that too, and the enemy ships seem to be moving very fast.

Also, it seems like there's not very many enemy ships on the sea, it takes a while of looking before finding any ships.

Agreed.

Flagship enemies seem to all stay in one spot and they are able to hit you even if you're not in range - for the Undead Flagships at least. Also, when on Flagships the long volley for grenades doesn't seem to work. It would either freeze up or just do a normal throw.

Yeah I noticed that too. It worked on and off.

Also w/ flagships, I had a weird glitch where every flagship I sailed by immediately sunk and the flagship icon and level remained on top of the ships area.
