Today sailing with me Krewe mate JM to try to fulfill a quest of sinking EITC's had a strange glitch. I couldn't see the ships! I could see me mate shooting at them & the flash of the enemy being hit, but couldn't see the ship. Ocassionally, I would get a brief glance when we got closer to the target, but then it would disappear. Me mate had no trouble viewing the ships. So, I decided to try logging off & back on. I logged all the way out of POTCO & back in. Everything was fine then. Maybe, it had something to do with the dirt Bart threw on me during PVP...LOLZ (Had to say that, Boss).

But, seriously, has anyone else experienced anything like that?

This has happened to me before as well. I teleported to one of my guildmates while he was on his ship, and not only could I not see any ships, but some of the islands were missing as well! He had told me he could see everything just fine, so I tried to teleporting away, launching my ship again, but nothing worked. Only worked after I decided to try and log on and off. I'm guessing its just a bug with the graphics.

It was a few nights ago that it actually happened to me. But when they weren't there it was for a few seconds if that, it was quite weird though.

yes it has happened to me several times as well as me mates... don't know what causes it but logging out and back in seems to fix it

This happened to me a while back too. It worked fine for me after porting then relaunching.

Something similar happens to me. At random times, when i launch my ship, theres NOTHING but water. And i mean NOTHING. No islands, no ships, no other players, nothing. To get to other islands, i have to use the map, and once i sail close enough, i get the Anchor option, and i can port like normal. Hmmm....

Happened to me a few times. Happens if someone els played before you on the same account. Rare but Has a Gigantic affect on gameplay. Privateering is almost impossible.

Similar thing happened to me... there was supposedly a ship next to us because everyone was firing at it, but there was nothing there... only when it had almost sunk did it reappear. Kind of like the boarding glitch... annoying.

Same thing happened to me, logging off and on is the only way to fix it in my case.
