Insider Patch Notes 2.0.20.1
Insider Update 2.0.20.1 is now live! Talk to Larinna outside the Tavern to receive a Voyage to uncover the mystery of a sunken Merchant Vessel, as well as further updates to our Season One release!
As always, if you encounter any bugs, then please head to the
Sea of Thieves support site and let our Player Support team know.
Lost Shipments Voyage
Lost Shipments Loot
- The Captain’s Cabin Key will now appear at a random clue site along the path of the Voyage. Players can take this key with them to unlock the Captain’s cabin on the Merchant’s Shipwreck to receive rewards.
- Merchant loot now also has a chance to spawn randomly at clue sites.
Lost Shipments Trade Routes
- Shipwrecks should now spawn on the line between the last clue site and the final destination.
- The trade routes have been replaced with shorter versions for better playability.
- Outposts have been removed from clue sites on the trade routes due to clues not being able to spawn there.
Seasons
The introduction of Seasons marks the start of a new approach to supporting Sea of Thieves regular updates. For more information on this exciting change to the game, head to the latest
Developer Update post.
Season Rewards
- The Test Season has begun to have new rewards added for testing purposes, players will now find some rewards locked behind Pirate Legend status along with the newly announced Plunder Pass.
- When browsing the current season, selecting a level will now bring up a reward screen showing which rewards are earned at that level, along with any unlock criteria.
- As we continue to iterate on Season progression behind the scenes, we have reset Insiders Seasons progression back to zero for this Insider’s build. Player pirates however have not been wiped.
This Insiders build continues to hold only a small number of placeholder reward assets and is not representative of the reward plan for Season One.
Known Issues
Seasons
- Seasons continues to use a range of wireframe assets and placeholder visuals.
- The amount of Renown players earn by performing actions along with the Renown requirements for each level are purely for testing purposes.
- Trials currently indicate they award a level of Renown on completion; this is placeholder and not final balancing.
- When earning Renown, some notifications may appear twice or appear blank.
- When making progress through a Deed, no supporting text will be shown on the notification to indicate which is being progressed.
Lost Shipments Voyage
- Voyages have a chance to automatically complete when started. If this happens, please try again away from an Outpost, or try again in another location.
- No clue will spawn when starting the Galleon's Grave to Spoils of Plenty Seapost route.
- The Lost Shipments Voyages do not currently support server migration and can cause instability for crews.
- Shipwrecks can sometimes spawn underneath islands or rocks.
- There will be an incorrect toast when handing in a manifest.
- The Merchant Captains found in Shipwrecks can spawn under the floor or in the walls of the shipwreck causing them to not be interactable.
Pirate Emporium
- Some Frozen Horizon items have placeholder names and descriptions.
- The Festival of Giving Emotes do not currently have any audio effects when used.
Fixed Issues
General
- The Trials section within Seasons now contains the final Trials for Season One.
- Players should no longer be back tracking to previous islands during the Lost Shipments voyage
