Captain's Logbooks are bugged and nobody has mentioned it yet for some reason

  • I'm surprised it isn't even listed in the most recent patchnotes as a known issue, maybe not enough players realize how these are supposed to actually work. The logbooks seemingly never progress past "noteworthy" to "accomplished" or "remarkable", even after the appropriate amount of time has been spent un-sunk on one server. Supposedly according to some players the final tier "Extraordinary" does work properly but it's hard to verify that since it requires a staggering 8 hours on one server. I've sunk many dozens of boats since the season dropped and I have yet to see a single logbook that isn't merely "Noteworthy".

    (IMO the time required to progress for each tier should also be lowered by at least 1/3 and possibly even half due to the current values being way out of sync with how long players actually spend on a single server but that's a whole other matter)

  • I "picked up" an Accomplished notebook last week.

  • Weird. Either way it seems to not consistently work, I spent about 6-7 hours on a server the other day and eventually sunk to an enemy ship, went back and sunk them but my notebook was only noteworthy despite a 15+ day voyage.

  • @moogbeard

    Did they have your logbook on board or was it where you sank still?

  • They had it on their ship. Not that it matters, I've sunk dozens of ship since the update launched- many of whom had sailed more than 15 in-game days and none of the books have been anything besides Noteworthy. This is definitely bugged.

    I have a theory that when a non crew member finds them the book resets.

  • Would still be a bug, since they are supposed to be loot that is potentially valuable. Meant to reward you for sinking a ship that hasn't sunk in a long time.

  • Why can't I upvote any of @Moogbeard's posts🤔

    This part of the forum has upvotes disabled.

  • @lem0n-curry ah that explains. Thanks!

  • I just went 20 days in a session without sinking, which was supposed to bring my logbook to extraordinary. At the end of the session I sunk my ship to test it. Still noteworthy. Definitely bugged.

  • Once again... I mentioned this in the second update day and didn't even get a comment...

    I... I still dont take it personally XD
