Map Migration Technical Test
This Insider build re-enables the early technical test of map migration. Head to the Outpost to find a temporary Tale and venture into the ominous new rock formations to arrive at Old Sailor Isle! To help gather information for the team, Insiders can once again earn Doubloons for helping support this technical test – head to this feedback thread to learn more.
Treasure Handling
- When approaching an active portal, if the crew has treasure items onboard, they will now receive a notification indicating that the treasure will not be brought with them during migration.
- On passing through an active portal with treasure onboard, that treasure will now be left behind in the original server whilst your crew migrate to a new location.
Performance Improvements
- When travelling through a portal to a new area, upon reaching the end of the experience and arriving in the new world the loading experience is now smoother.
