World Events despawn sooooo fast

  • My crew and I enjoy sailing the seas in search of world events, most commonly, Ashen Winds events. The problem we seem to have, whether on Xbox only servers or on PC servers, is they despawn before we even finish sailing to them.

    It amazes me that after we complete a world event and prep to head to the next Ashen Winds, it despawns before we have time to sail to the other end of the map. We are having trouble completing the commendation for defeating Old Horatio because of this issue. We literally do not have the time to sail from Wanderers Refuge to Marauders Arch while still giving ourselves time to load up the loot we earned from completing the events elsewhere on the map.

    Maybe if the spawn rate of the Ashen Winds Lords on islands other than Wanderers Refuge was higher, this issue would not seem so glaring.

    Sea of Thieves is an amazing game and I am so glad to be able to play it, just thought others might be having the same thoughts as me and this is the perfect place to voice that opinion.

  • @lethalvaper78 I think it's enough time for them to despawn...I guess 20 or 30 minutes, never stopped that time...

  • Often times it really is not that long at all

    They used to have a way to detect if players were in the vicinity of the event which would cancel the despawn timer, but it seems that range of distance is much smaller or the mechanic was disabled completely.

    It's a very frustrating experience when we're one island over from a fort and it despawns.
