Dead Ships

During the Founder's Feast I had a lot of lower level players complaining to me about this (I think they confused Founder and GM). I kept telling them to contact tech support with it.

This is a rotten glitch that I'm afraid will have some players give up on the game altogether. It's impossible to be an effective pirate if you can't sail.

Methadose - I'm glad you explained how you've fixed it. Now if I encounter anyone else with this problem I can give them a point in the right direction. Thank you.

This almost sounds interesting, I have so many pirates with ships I might be able to have some fun with this. I can't even remember the last time I had a ship out on live, lol.

Use to be a little tactic you could do when others always tried to jump ships you were fighting, and lead the fire to them, instead of you, have see what I can do playing around with some of this.

Or park dozens more ships out at sea.




Well, lost cause there, did enough damage to sink some of those ships three times over. The key is the player needs to be on it I guess.

Since the latest major patch the issue with stuck ships has crept it's ugly head up again. They are working on getting this patched ASAP.

Nautical Nattie mentioned that there GM has not been able to sail for 2 weeks. That's utter nonsense. Ships being stuck out at sea will become un-stuck when a server resets. Here is the catch to this...the servers do not reset every night. If your GM has had a ship stuck at sea for 2 weeks, has he/she contacted there Live Chat for assistance? If not, why not? A ship being stuck out at sea for 2 weeks is not just a normal issue and doing nothing about it does nothing to help the situation.

I spoke to him this morning they finally fixed his ship. I don't know if it was the same issue was this but he was one of the first people it happened to if it was so it took a long time. On the friends list it said he was sailing but he wasn't and couldn't launch his ship, and spoke to them over and over every day on live chat and everything and it was finally fixed today. I'm still seeing about 3-4 ships stuck around outcast on Abassa though, some been there days.

I even tried the method of hiding behind another ship and hoping to get it sunk and possibly unstuck, but no luck it started to smoke but after 2-3 attempts after repairing myself i gave up. The pirate needs to be aboard. I have to admit though this is is a very interesting glitch, especially clever to fix it by trying to sink it and push the ship lol.
