Insider Patch Notes 2.8.2.2
Insider Update 2.8.2.2 is now live. With this Insiders update players can develop their Guild further. After all there is no sadder sight than an empty Guild Hall so why not invite all your friends to be part of your Guild! This way they can share in highs and the lows and with a little fire in your bellies take on all the Sea of Thieves can throw at you to become a legendary Guild.
As always, if you encounter any bugs, then please head to the
Sea of Thieves support site and let our Player Support team know.
Guilds of Gold
*Joining & Leaving a Guild *
- Guild Owners can now invite a range of crewmates to join their Guild from the Guild Members page. Players can also accept these invites and join the Guild.
- Guild Members wishing to leave, can now leave any Guild they are a part of.
*Managing a Guild *
- Guild Owners can now change the permissions of another Guild Member, managing who can send invites and manage other Members.
- Guild Owners are now able to pass ownership of the Guild to another Guild Member.
*Pledging Ships to a Guild *
- Guild members can pledge ships that they own to the Guild and manage the permissions on whether the vessel is to be shared or Private. Shared vessels can be taken out by any other Guild members and even progress that ship’s milestones.

Gameplay Improvements
*Quick Switching Removal *
- Players equipping two ranged weapons are no longer able to perform a technique to cancel the weapon wield animation and fire two shots in quick succession. Players will now consistently see the weapon wield animation when switching weapons after firing, ensuring all players have a consistent combat experience.
Known Issues
*Guilds of Gold *
- This is a very early preview of this feature set at the moment and therefore may still contain placeholder text or imagery.
- Guild permissions currently are not working as intended and may not update for certain players.
- There is a small chance that Gamertags may show as [Unknown] when attempting to send Guild Invites.
- Some players may experience instances where after the accept a Guild Invite they become locked in a black screen. If this happens, we advise that the player close and reopen the game which will hopefully resolve the issue.
- After accepting a Guild invite some players may not be able to see the Guild in their list until they have closed and reopened the game.
Fixed Issues
*Visual and Audio *
- The nameplates on fish are now consistently showing above the fish.
- The Flag of the Bristling Barnacle can now be equipped on a Brigantine.
- Players right hand no longer intersects into the Order of Souls or Merchant Alliance Shovels.
*Text and Localisation *
- ‘The Legendary Storyteller’ quest book now mentions Port Merrick instead of Golden Sands.
- ‘Dark Brethren’ – There is no longer a typo in the pop up that mentions "peak with the Castaway at the Outpost's shore to begin the 'Dark Brethren' Tall Tale.”
*Performance and Stability *
- Videos in the ‘what's new section’ will no longer stutter during playback.
- Improved server stability to avoid instances of players being disconnected from their session.
