A Pirates Life TT Server Hopping with Emissary

    I'm just curious if this is intentional... Starting up the new Tall Tales 1 or 3 with a grade 5 emissary flag and keeping the emissary flag through the portal? People are using this as a means to server hop with their G5 emissary flags after being bored with their current server or escaping others to avoid losing their emissary. I was under the impression the flag is supposed to drop going through the portal but upon testing it out, your emissary flag remains up.

    It's become extremely obnoxious when you're chasing someone down only for them to escape through the portal. It's also getting pretty annoying having 0 reapers to a full G5 reaper on the map bee lining right to you out of nowhere

    I understand the server merges sometimes but the portals feel like an exploit that needsto be fixed.

    In this developer update RARE’s stance on it is made clear

    Well that is just ridiculous. It creates server unbalance and has players leaving a server when they don't like what's going on, fully stocked with their flag. Guess I'll just do it too. 🤷🏼‍♀️

    @dat-lj they had no choice but to call it a feature. If they didn't people would be enraged since they could now call it an exploit. (is there no middle ground?).

    In any case, you can hop now and buy supplies so it really just saves hoppers a little time and $. It is a one sided benefit for emissary hunters but doesnt seem to be game breaking (still lots of rng if you spawn close to an emissary, if across the map it will still be hard to sneak up on them).
