Insider Patch Notes 2.0.14.6
Insider Update 2.0.14.6 is now live, with Ghost Ships and Ashen Lords both continuing to wreak havoc on the Sea of Thieves - follow the ship or skull-shaped clouds to battle these treacherous foes!I
If you do encounter any bugs, then please head to the
Sea of Thieves support site and let our Player Support team know.
Ashen Lords
- Ash Cloud Attack – Due to your feedback, Ashen Lord nameplates are hidden when they are engulfed in an ash cloud.
- Ashen Lord’s – Each lord will now have their own unique dialogue when fighting them. Currently these work in progress and subtitle only, with audio due to land soon.
Ghost Ships
- Cannonball Crate of the Damned – At the end of a Ghost Ship encounter the loot players receive will include a Cannonball Crate of the Damned. This will now reward them with Flaming Phantom Cannonballs, alongside Phantom Cannonballs and Wraith balls.
Tall Tales Checkpoints
Tall Tale Checkpoints allow players to save progress and play again in a new session!
- ‘Art of the Trickster’ Tall Tale Checkpoint – The “Art of The Trickster” chapter 3 checkpoint has been moved to earlier in the tale, prior to players unearthing the Trapmaker’s Key. This prevents an issue causing the key to explode after voting on the Tale.
Updates
- Athena’s Run Voyages – Access to the Athena’s Run Voyages has now been rebalanced and has now been limited to one purchase per month.
- Default Settings for New Players – New players entering Sea of Thieves will now find that both ‘Crew Status Tags’ and ‘Sticky Radial Items’ settings are enabled by default, improving their initial onboarding experience. Existing players however will not have their settings changed.
Please check your settings on release of this Insiders build to validate that existing players are not affected by this change!
Known Issues
- Ghost Ship Encounter – The Ghost Ships will be missing their sails if the player is a certain distance from an active encounter.
- Tall Tales Checkpoints – The “Art of the Trickster” starting banners for checkpoint 3 are missing text.
- Megalodon Loot Spawn – The loot spawns immediately at the location where a Meg is killed.
- Reaper's Bones Commendations – The “Plundered flag” commendations require the player to be an Emissary but do not state this in the description.
