# Insider Patch Notes 2.7.1.4

Insider Update 2.7.1.4 is now live.  New Year means new things happening in the Sea of Thieves and to get this party started we are once again offering players the chance to earn a hefty sum of Gold by taking part in our Same Faction PvP Scale Test. If PvP not your thing then why not try our latest Adventure ‘The Secret Wilds’ which is also still available, just head to any outpost and chat to Larinna to get started.

As always, if you encounter any bugs, then please head to the 
[Sea of Thieves support site](https://support.seaofthieves.com/hc/en-gb) and let our Player Support team know.

## Battle for the Sea of Thieves

**PvP Scale Test**

* In order to test the new additions to matchmaking, we need your help! Gather your crew, sharpen your blades, prepare to put your PvP skills to the test and in return you can earn 50,000 Gold for your main account within a week of participating in the event.
* The Scale Test will be split into two sessions; 5pm-8pm (UTC) and 12am-3am (UTC). To get started players simply join a Faction of their choosing, unfurl their war map and dive into battle.
* In order to be handsomely rewarded gold players must take part in five battles within the time slots to be counted as having taken part.

**Cross-Stamp Matchmaking**

* To enable us to support the largest number of players possible we will be trialing a new system where players on different stamps will be able to matchmake against each other this in turn will reduce wait times for people looking for an opponent to fight.

**Increased Allegiance for Losses**

* Crews who are defeated in a faction battle will now receive a slight increase in their Allegiance as compensation for their loss.

## Gameplay Improvements

**Starting Session Outpost Choice**

* Crews arriving on the seas at the start of a session will now begin at a wider variety of Outpost locations and will no longer appear to frequently arrive in The Wilds.

## Known Issues

**‘The Secret Wilds’**

* When using Briggsy's mask to look at a constellation whilst on a ship, if another player is on the island, the player on the ship will be disconnected from the game.

* The original Briggsy does not fade out before she appears in the portal, resulting in two Briggsy's being visible.

**Captains of Adventure**

* The Events Log currently does not reset after the players ship has Sunk.
* All Captains Voyages are currently mislabeled as ‘Prized’ Voyages.
* The Ashen Gold Hoarder Commission Quests are currently missing a range of Wayfinder Voyages.

**Battle for the Sea of Thieves**

* Some Season 8 Commendations currently will not update if you are not the captain of the vessel

**Visual Issues**

* Areas of rising and lowering water during the Sunken Pearl & Dark Brethren Tall Tales show an incorrect texture

## Fixed Issues

**Gameplay**

* The Old Brinestone Fortress storeroom key will no longer be present in the lock after the fort has cleared, allowing crews to gain access again in the future.

**Battle for the Sea of Thieves**

* Players will now need to unlock the ‘His Favourite Crew’ Commendation in order to unlock the Twin Peg Legs Lower body cosmetic instead of the incorrectly listed ‘Live to Serve’ Commendation.

* Players will now need to unlock the ‘Quite the Collection’ Commendation in order to unlock the Guardian Ghost Flag cosmetic instead of the incorrectly listed ‘Too Many To Count’ commendation.
* Sitting down or sleeping whilst below the waves waiting for another opponent will no longer cause the player to become stuck, removed from the ship or for the players camera to become stuck in the environment when a rival is found.
* Players taking a seat at the back of a Sloop will no longer find themselves falling off the ship upon invading another crew.
* Players will no longer be rewarded with Allegiance, streak increase and sands of fate for sinking an invading ship if they are not the target of the invasion.

**Captains of Adventure**

* Completing 'A Commission of the Ancient Veil' now updates the milestone for 'A Veteran Voyager' achievement
* The correct icons for the Guardian and Servant alignments now appear in the events log.
* When the player picks up their own logbook from a wreck, the players icon will now be a booty icon instead of no icon as this item can be sold.

**‘The Secret Wilds’**

* There is no longer a Typo in the dialogue with Briggsy when interacting before collecting the final fragment.
* The Chest interaction points named are no longer incorrectly for Cursed Cannonball.

**New Golden Sands**

* Rain will no longer be present in the pirate legend tunnel during a storm.

* Audio zones no longer cut and play the music unnaturally when moving within the Tavern and through its doorways.
* Pets will no longer intersect through the ground near Gold Hoarder's tent on New Golden Sands Outpost.
