Well, that was a dirty trick, however it seems pretty realistic. That's why I think we should be allowed to swim back to our ships.
Yes, if you defeat a flagship crew you should swing back to the ship you came from regardless of what has happened to your crew mates. I think this is some kind of bug where you can’t swing back if your ship’s captain has been defeated.
It seems linked to some ownership thing with the captain of the ship and maybe a crew connection. Dunno.
In our case the captain, Samuel Warwraith, was still with me. We just had to stand there and watch his ship sink.
So you defeated all the enemy crew and all the ppl that swung aboard the flagship were still there on the flagship and no swing back? I remember back in potco that occasionally one or more of the enemy crew would be overboard and we would get our long guns out to try and bring them back or drop them there, that would occasionally doom you if you couldn’t reach them with any weapon. I’ve never seen that in tlopo, not sure what happened to you. Or is it just that if any of your crew are defeated then this bug materializes?
That is correct. We were both still there and defeated the enemies in sight. I roamed around the sloop to see if I could find any stuck behind walls or overboard.
There's a known bug/issue with enemies sinking far below the map when attacked/arrrrgo'd.
You’re lucky that your ship sank, when the QAR was out I got my ship stuck forever in battle with the QAR three times and had to wait for the server to reset before it freed up, which took as long as 10 days on a quiet server. You could see my ship grappled to the QAR with no crew and no possibility of winning or losing since neither ship had a crew, lol.
Not only have i been stranded on board, but there are times that I grappled and moved almost across the map and the hook was still stuck to the ship I attached. And when I selected board within the time limit, I was given a long long ride to the ships, sometimes on another side of an island. Those were fun times.
