Updates
Rolling Dice Emotes
- When performing a Dice Roll Emote, the result is now shown in the notification window.
Improved Shanty Selection

Known Issues
Pirate Emporium
- When performing the Stargazing Emote from the Lodestar Costume, zooming in will move the camera to an incorrect position on the pirate.
Legend of the Veil
- The Legend of Veil is currently in a very early stage of development, and therefore contains a range of prototype artwork, animations, UI, cutscenes and assets throughout the experience. The team are not currently looking for feedback on these clear placeholder areas of the experience.
- Veil Stones slotted into the Veil of the Ancients can become invisible after a player’s death or upon disconnecting. This is visual only and does not affect the ability to complete or make progress on the Voyage.
- Starting the Shores of Gold Tall Tale will cancel the Legend of the Veil Voyage if the Voyage is active.
- Crews migrating servers during the Voyage can cause various issues preventing progress.
Legend of the Veil – Haunted Islands
- Various statues are in incorrect locations, in the water or in the air, and may not be interactable.
- Picking up a Flames of Fate will override the Enchanted Lantern.
- When progressing a Haunted Island quest, the placeholder friendly Golden Skeletons are currently able to be damaged and killed by players.
If the whole crew dies during the Haunted Islands’ encounter, the quest module will be completed.
Phantoms do not spawn after lighting the central beacon on the Haunted Islands.
Phantoms and Ancient Skeletons do not spawn on Haunted Islands after solo crew players die and respawn.
Incorrect Poses in Sitting Positions
- Players may find that some pirates adopt an incorrect hand position when sitting in various places around the world. These pirates should rest with their hands on their knees but may appear to hold their hands in the air.
Cannon Firing Effects
- The recoil animation does not always play when firing a ship’s cannon.
Fixed Issues
