What's the strangest glitch or unintended occurance thats happened to you?

    I've had my sloop fly in the air when it sank, I miss those days, but I think the strangest thing to happen was when doing a skull fort.

    I was in a sloop with my friend and there seemed to be very few on the server as we'd not seen any ships for a very long time and we are very observent. It was at the forte were you can sail in to a central lagoon. As it seemed quiet, my "friend" thought it would be a "good idea" to sail in to the lagoon and use the cannons. To my protest we did this and as you can imagine it wasn't long until a galleon came and sank our ship, which we should have named the "Sitting Duck".
    After a little fight on the forte we both got killed and respawned with our new ship, the "Sitting Duck 2" and we weren't too far away from the forte. We sailed back and battled the galleon as well as forte's towers and our stupidity be both died at the same time with badly damaged and sinking.

    Now when going through the door of the Ship of the Damned, we can tell where we will spawn by the audio on the black loading screen. Hear trees and wind, you're respawned with a new boat. Hear general boat sounds and water, you're back on your boat. We could hear boat sounds and water and cannon fire. We may be able to save the "Sitting Duck 2". We readied ourselves to action.

    Spawning below deck we assesed our situation.

    To our bewilderment, the "Sitting Duck 2" didn't have any water or seem to be damaged in anyway. We spawned actually aboard a new sloop, the "Sitting Duck 3". But the "Sitting Duck 3" wasn't safe on an island or outpost, the "Sitting Duck 3" was a SITTING DUCK back in the middle of the lagoon.

    We and our ship seemed to have spawned back in the middle of the forte lagoon again.

    To say that the boat didn't last long would be an understatement.

    It was a very strange event which confuses us to this day, but gives us a good story to tell.

    Anyone else get strange happenings?

    Touching the wrong rock and teleporting back to my boat deck....
    Likewise on an outpost touching the wrong rock and teleporting back to the middle of the tavern....

    Then managing to "climb" down the ladder through the seabed to the crow's nest!

    Can't make the video stop auto-playing... sorry!
    Will delete if need to, unless you don't mind hearing my character drowning

    Did you try dropping the sails or raising the anchor?

    @fishst1ck Wouldn't let you, only thing it would let us do was "climb" or ring the bell! Should've tried putting a quest down but never thought of it!

    Also... First night of playing, decide to brig a mate to be daft (he kept trying to blow us up!)
    Eventually we decide to scuttle the ship to kill him to be really mean, but the game reloads for some reason... suddenly we are ALL in the brig together!

    for some reason the glitch persisted, we de-brigged the original character and scuttled again, but that left us three in the brig and him free to run around wreaking havoc!

    What? Sharks on the deck of the ship?

    I've had several crewmates begin to do a variety of funny walks. Like the knees not bending at all, he only walked from the hip while being hunched over. Another started high-stepping, pulling his knees above his stomach when walking.

    Of course my fair share of ships floating, and/or sinking for silly periods of time. One time it just kept flying straight up into the moon, it was actually quite lovely.

    One time I was standing on the canopy of a Sloop me crew and I had seized and sunk, when it launched itself about a sloops-length into the air, flinging me off it. I only barely managed to avoid getting hit in the face by a whole sloop before it crashed back down.

    Glitches make life fun!

    @stroro Indeed. The one that was dead before seemed to stick on a crew member that swam through it with a chest. The other one was already there as we returned from the island. Don't know how it got there. Both despawned at some point.

    Last night I joined a friends game to help him with his Athena grind, it spawned me in the brig of a sloop Note: You can't brig someone on a sloop! I tried leaving the game and rejoining but BLAM! Back into the brig, I ended up having to wait the cooldown out for him to vote me out and it worked. Very odd.

    @melbufrauma If you look up a bit you will see this happened to me and my crew on the first night - haven't heard of it happening to anyone since!

    @sshteeve Not quite, though that happened to my Quartermaster a few nights ago, but he... leaned quite a bit more. The man was damn near horizontal at one point.

    @sshteeve I had that happen to me once at either dagger tooth or galleons grave except the whole thing was under water (couldn't see hull popping out of water). I just happened to jump into the water after we couldn't find our ship and saw the lantern lights to my left. I swam over to find our galleon sitting there lol.

    I was on the verge of dying from a battle, and got teleported somehow across the map with full health. I'm guessing that was a network issue.

    That, and my ship began flying one time only get a disconnect. It did it once or twice more, but without any disconnection, things just went back to normal.

    There've been a few other things, but I can't remember all of what they were.

    @sshteeve Upside down hulls is an old exploit. I used to see it a lot years back when playing Joint Operations Typhoon Rising.

    A few nights ago I was shot and killed while carrying a gunpowder barrel to the crows nest. The barrel got stuck on the ladder about 10 feet above our deck, and no one could pick it up. it stayed there until it was shot and blew a hole in our boat. unfortunately when it exploded we were all on deck and our entire crew died along with our ship.

    I have youtube footage of my glitch.

    I spotted a sunken ship and i got a skull from it.

    I swam back to my ship only for my ship to sink and spawn 50 feet to the left then a shark killed me and instead of dying I was kicked from the server.

    @stroro the strangest thing I've seen post launch (The alpha stuff had some pretty wild glitches) was coming on to the ferry of the Damned to see another player as a very different looking, cartoony skeleton before their textures loaded. I need to share the screenshot at some point when I have some time.

    My sloops mast was at a 10-20 degree angle after I respawned but only for me viewing it. After a healthy dose of E.D. jokes I realized it was awesome because my sight was un obstructed while sailing and I could still climb the floating rope to the crows nest.

    I broke the Y axis once lol I was trying to crawl out of the water and on to the rock at the Crooked Masts. We all know how rocks are a pain to climb. A wave came and lifted me up, but when i was standing, i was slanted to the right probably 30 degrees. I believe i couldn't walk full speed unless aimed toward my 'lean' and i couldn't sprint. Thankfully, the game detected the issue and brought me back to my ship, all fixed up lol

    I still worry every time i go back. #triggered
