Did the most recent update.
1 bear glitched in and out like a flashing light.
1 bull disappeared completely.
I BRIGANTINE disappeared completely. It has not shown up in logs as destroyed. Bull has not shown up as dead.
Meanwhile I had a stranger running around my place, very very odd. Coincidence?
I took bear for a run whilst freaking out, to see if boat was maybe in another place. He glitched and fell into a rock hole. (Still there...)
I died to get out of hole.
I notice that boat bed is on the border of the next map, half a map tile away. I spawn on it. Nobody is sailing it. It's still ANCHORED, in the deep middle of nowhere. The missing bull is treading water to one side; on the other, there is a whale but meters away. I tried to whistle the bull; no luck. I've seen enough horror stories about the whales, and so I decide to potentially sacrifice the bull as the Brig is worth a lot. We're a little company of just a few players. I cross back into the home tile and am beset by an unusual amount of SOTD who start to pelt the Brig, from distance (no aggro had been made - I was not close enough!!!!); and the ship takes damage. The SOTD pursue, as more and more spawn. Really bloody strange, especially as we're almost at shore. They disappeared in a wink, which was also really peculiar.
I managed to get the ship back, albeit with some heavy damage.
Thing is, it should never have occurred, and I wonder if anyone else has had strange spawny glitchy joyride boats and such happening, whether it is to do with the new update, or whether there is something foul afoot...
