Dynamic World Changes Technical Test

  • This Insider update provides an early technical test of a new system, allowing changes to be made live within the world without requiring servers to be taken down. For more details on this new system and how to get involved with testing, head to this Feedback Thread for more details.

Legend of the Veil

Haunted Fort Intro

  • Approaching the Haunted Fort encounter, players will now find a more appropriately timed intro with accompanying visual effects.

Treasure Markers

  • After destroying a Fort Emplacement or the Fort itself, the Fort structure now remains somewhat intact and treasure markers are now displayed above items to clearly direct players.

Outpost Cosmetics

Emerald Imperial Sovereign Clothing Set

  • The Outpost clothing shops now stock the Emerald Imperial Sovereign clothing set, available to purchase for gold.

Updates

Twilight Hunter Clothing Correction

  • The Twilight Hunter Clothing has now been renamed to Nightfall Hunter. A replacement Twilight Hunter Clothing will become available in the future with a more appropriate colour scheme matching the other items in the set.

Known Issues

  • The Bilge Rats Commendation pages do not currently offer the Sea Fort Commendations for testing.

Legend of the Veil

  • Crews progressing through the Legend of the Veil Voyage at the same time on a server can cause a scenario where two Shipwreck Graveyard sites can be generated in the same location.
