So had a discussion with my fellow pirates today about sea of thieves myths floating around out there while sailing. One of the myths that got brought up was that when a new player enters the server lightning strikes the stone peak of the sea dog tavern at k12 and if you close enough you can hear thunder. I'm pretty sure I have heard this before a little bit after launch and on some video recently. If anyone can confirm or bust this I'll raise a tankard to you.
Is this true about the sea dog tavern at k12??
It doesn't strike the sea dogs tavern but it does strike the rocks just north west of Snake Isle. The formation you can sail through the middle of that was the origin basis for all the new portal rocks for the tall tales. It is centered on the map and when a new ship joins the server it is struck with lightning.

If this was true, one could test this by being on a closed crew, sailing to the location, then opening their crew. As players join their crew, there should be a lightning strike. If it was just when a new crew/boat spawns in, it would be much more difficult to demonstrate/prove.
@cptnpotbeard
right, thats why i made the distinction. your initial response said player, not boat/crew.@cptnpotbeard said:

What is your reference for ANY of this!?! I smell BS.
The area getting hit by lightning and the thunder that can be heard is true, but it has nothing to do with players joining the server or players dying and ending up on the ferry (or similar).
It's a leftover from the earlier Alpha Builds.
The Devs changed something and the result you see now is an oversight.
That's all.@lizalaroo said in Is this true about the sea dog tavern at k12??:
I thought it was when a player went to the ferry the lightning struck :D
Crikey! It would never stop when I was on a server then!
