Insider Patch Notes 2.8.3.1
Insider Update 2.8.3.1 is now live. Insiders this week have even more ways to interact with Guilds as we introduce features such as being able to browse the ships that are pledged to your Guild and even join that crew's session to help them out. Insiders will also now be able to access the Guilds homepage from their Pirates Log making it even more accessible than before. So why wait? Start up a Guild today and join in the action.
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 a Ship at Sea *
- Players can now browse the ships pledged to their guild and even jump aboard while a session is in progress.
*Guilds Homepage *
- The Pirate’s Log accessible from the in-game menu now offers access to the Guild homepage, allowing full control of the Guild while sailing the seas.
Events
*Captain's Week *
- Pirates who venture over to the Featured Events Tab will notice a new event listed known as ‘Captain's Week’. Captained Crews will be in for a treat with this one as handing in treasure to the Sovereigns whilst part of a captained session will eventually earn them the Captain's Week Rapier and Heavy Sword.
- Along with some cool new swords up for grabs players participating in Captain's Week will also gain a 1.5x multiplier for Gold, Allegiance and Renown. Could life on the seas get any sweeter?
Updates
Quick Switching Removal
- This Insiders build delivers further fixes to remove the benefit previously gained from Quick switching when wielding two ranged weapons. Players are no longer able to fire faster than intended in a range of edge case scenarios such as jumping, falling or sprinting multiple times during a weapon switch.
- Players may still find that they can cancel the wield animation in some scenarios, however there is no longer a competitive advantage to doing so and may even extend the time between firing compared to a regular weapon switch.
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.
- Players will currently see a blank emote radial when trying to access any of the Guild emotes which they will not have at this moment in time.
- After leaving a session of sailing on a Guild Ship you do not own, that ship will still appear out at sea with no crew members.
Fixed Issues
*Gameplay *

*Guilds of Gold *
- Players will no longer experience a RosemaryBeard when attempting to join a Guild Session in progress.
- The Guild Members icon on the Guild Card in the front-end menu is now correct.
- Logging into different accounts when on the front-end will now always show the correct accounts Guilds and Set Sail Flow.
- Guild Permissions now correctly update once set by Guild Leaders.
