Vorxius 249 Posted January 10, 2019 Sounds like you were another one of those human beings that actually need to sleep. Your boats sank because you weren't dedicating enough time to a recreational game. (they decay over time, especially more so in town). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yesterday afternoon I found that schooner in the bottom of my harbor with their dingy floating around. Meanwhile, my anchored sloop and the anchored raft from a previous claimer barely took any damage. Ships in freeports and unanchored ships on someone else's claim take large amounts of damage and will sink. Which, btw, is a great way to give the claim owner something exciting to do. If it weren't for massive numbers of sharks I might even consider investing in a diving rigged sloop. Edited January 10, 2019 by Jean Lafitte Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jean Lafitte 451 Posted January 10, 2019 Just now, ave said: i understand but this sloop was on my own land but i am not sure if i anchored it tho, on my land i can sometimes not anchor cause of weird under water stuff Then you have your answer as to what happened. Even on your claim unanchored, they take much more damage. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UDO 361 Posted January 10, 2019 before yesterdays patches wild animals will attack boats if players / crew were on them could have been destroyed by wild animals trying to get to the sleepers / crew Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magpie_81 5 Posted January 10, 2019 It could be another case of exploiting players sinking ship by putting too much weight on it. Our entire server on EU PVE is "at war" with some asian company that sunk over 10 ships with this exploit. (Player can take up loot that is dropped to the floor even over his max. weight limit, then a second player drags him along with a grapling hook) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jahfya 0 Posted January 12, 2019 also u should get off you boat before disconnecting there is a bug that if you sleep on your boat the next time you get on it says boat and beds or destroyed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yomaz 10 Posted January 12, 2019 Well since they fixed resource spawning on lawless servers water twisters are coming into land. Yesterday alone I saw multiple anchored ships next to my ship sink by them half my ship health was lost twice from two different times I witnessed it my ship in my harbor that has not been released yet had its medium planks at half after a couple of these. I hope this is just a bug but I have not seen anyone mention this but im holding on building the rest of my new ship til this is addressed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ariad 6 Posted January 12, 2019 Further details- I was offline one night I have to live in Lawless because of the fiasco that is claims and lack of land after weeks looking The boat was anchored next to my shipyard - which was undamaged Everything on the boat was locked so no easy water exploit, etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asanna 86 Posted January 12, 2019 Yeah.... I'm going to vote you were exploited... happened to two sloops of mine, luckily people saw them do it so I have screen shots of names of the people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
