So yeah, I was sailing with my mates and one of them wanted to enter Athena's Fortune, so I told him I would let him in. (He's pretty new to the game and was interested in seeing it) After reaching the Bar and starting the song, I stopped playing the song and was checking my resources, only to find out that the door was opening! I didn't play the song long enough to open it myself, in fact the skull hadn't even showed up when i stopped playing. He was very surprised at the outcome as well. We then decided to get some testing done. I have partially opened the door before and had non - legends keep playing but for the staircase to not open. So we got one other friend in our game and started testing. We discovered that whether you could open it or not depends on what instrument skin you had. All the default skins could open is, while the new Hunter set could not. Is this a bug on my part or the game? I am very confused on how this is possible.
Just found out non - Legends can open up the pirate legend hideout door/staircase
@dabomb139 I would say that either way, you should probably report it to Rare so that they can look into it.
On the plus side someone would have to be with a legend, would have to start playing "We Shall Sail Together" to start things off, so it's not entirely like random new spawns can do it on their own.@dabomb139 Probably other players can open it, but only crew-members seem to be able to enter the hideout.
At least that's what happened to me yesterday:
another crew in an alliance opened the staircase, but i as a non-legend was only able to walk down the stairs, but couldn't enter the hideout.
So it can't be abused too much as it seems.- After reaching the Bar and starting the song, I stopped playing the song
are you sure that you are PL and know how game mechanic working ?
If you start even 1st sound from PL song any other can play it and it will work coz tune needed to open vault....@dabomb139 you don’t say what song you are playing to open the hideout. As far as I know it is only ‘we shall sail together’ regardless of what skin your instrument has and you need to be quite specific where you stand to play the shanty. As others have said you only need a whiff of the tune by a PL to continue playing it and open the stairway but even then you will need to be in the crew of the PL to enter the cave below.
If you think it might be a bug please send in a ticket to support.I was playing the "We Shall Sail Together" song to open the door, the part where the "glitch" would come in is where other players in my crew could continue opening the door after I stopped playing, and that whether the door would open for them seemed to be dependent on which skin they had on their instrument. I hope that helps, and thanks for the help guys!
