Insider Update 3.0.1.8 is now live. As we near the planned launch of our June update, the Insider build will start to more closely match the upcoming release of the retail version of the game.
As always, if you encounter any bugs, please head to the
Sea of Thieves support site and let our Player Support team know.
Events
Alliance Event Technical Test
- Insiders will now have access to a technical test of a new system created for future Live Events, tracking the earnings of all crews while part of an Alliance.
- This Insiders Technical Test will require crews to form an Alliance with others and together earn 70k gold while the event is active. Check the Feedback Thread on the Insider forums for event times.
- All crews who reach this goal as part of the Alliance Technical Test should unlock the Evening Tide Tankard in their Equipment Chest.
- Insiders will also unlock a login bonus in this Insiders build and will be awarded the Safe Travels Tattoo when joining a session.
Gameplay Improvements
Headwind Sails
- Building from the previous balancing change where ships heading into a direct headwind would gain a speed advantage when angling the sails, the Sloop, Brigantine and Galleon have received a further small speed increase when effectively managing the sails in a headwind.
- Crews may not feel this speed increase straight away when turning into the wind, however it will become more noticeable after sailing a larger distance.
Known Issues
Pirate Emporium
- The Dire Dark Warsmith Ship’s Crest currently displays placeholder text when browsing the Emporium.
Fixed Issues
Environment
- Throwing knives being embedded in ships’ ladders will no longer prevent players from grabbing onto the ladders.
Visual and Audio
- ‘The Sunken Kingdom’ – Character animations have been updated so they will no longer snap into position when they appear on screen.
- Chest wraps on the Paradise Garden costume will no longer appear to merge into the skin of some pirates.
- Placeholder images and text have been replaced with correct imagery in the Trinkets section of the Pirate Emporium.
- Pirates will no longer experience their teeth merging through the mask sections of the Deadlock Jailer Costume.
Performance and Stability
- Improved server stability to avoid instances where players are disconnected from their session.
- Equipping the Dire Dark Warsmith Ship’s Crest will no longer cause an error followed by an unexpected game closure.
