World Events
Pirate crews of all shapes and sizes will now find the range of world events now adapt to the size of the crew, making things easier for that lone wolf crew of one and harder for the crew of four who loves a challenge. To aid with the testing of these changes only these world events will currently be available within this Insiders build along with the Fort of the Damned.
Ashen Lord Rebalance
- Crews will now find the skeletons summoned during the Ashen Lord encounter dynamically scale to the number of players taking part. The number of skeletons, their health and even their behaviour now reflects the size of the attacking pirate force.
Crews facing off against the Ashen Lord will now find he is of suitable difficulty, ensuring that solo pirates and alliance crews alike can enjoy this thrilling encounter.
Throughout the Ashen Lord encounter, resources are now much more plentiful, and Weapon Chests have been added allowing players to switch their loadout for the battle!
Fort of Fortune
- Crews will now find the skeletons summoned, which can be a variety of different types during the Fort of Fortune encounter will dynamically scale to the number of players taking part. The number of skeletons, their health and even their behaviour now reflects the size of the attacking pirate force.

Updates
Scuttling Your Ship
- Following Insiders feedback, Crews wishing to scuttle their ship will now be presented with two options. Crews can ‘Scuttle their Ship and change seas’ which will move them to a fresh server away from their potential threats, or choose the original ‘Scuttle Ship’ option which destroys their vessel while keeping them in the server.
Captain's Journals
