cant even collect smuggles cargo.... this is a sad season. what were the devs thinking?!?1

    so the bug not allowing us to collect supplies from the merchant is still a bug rare cant wrap their hear around. they claimed they would be reworking that system from the ground up since they apparently cant figure out the cause of the bug....

    yet here we are. a season all about cargo which people hated in the 1st place. but not only that having sailed around collecting a bunch of bottles and having multiple pick ups at singular islands actually going to try and get the cargo.... cant collect. have to sail back to an outpost. buy captaincy supplys then sail back to the smuggler....... sheesh... like the devs didnt even test the game, no insider brought up this issue? how is one of the longest lasting most annoying bugs still present in the game and a seasons major feature is based around it... this game is nearing 10 years at this point and you guys still cant make the game function, addressing issues that have been around since day1 like people exploiting movement in water with high dpi but not addressing something that actually impacts the pve part of the game.

    im exhausted from my love of the game vs the quality of the updates we have been getting

    This season feels like an exercise in seeing how much they could make it seem like they were adding without actually doing anything other than retexturing existing things.
    The new kegs are just bigger explosions on retextured barrels. Books are tomes, siren sorrow and ashen obsidian skulls are just retextured siren song and ashen winds skulls, paintings were already in the game and all they did was make them something you can carry, bottles are retextured bottles, and Smugglers as a whole are retextured merchants. The voyage having the same bugs points to it literally being the same code recycled. There is literally nothing new about this update aside from some laggy caves and characters who have more voice acted lines than Flameheart or Pendragon

    Bug doesn’t affect you if you don’t purchase them.

    Friend of mine on Discord says they were watching Phuzzy this morning, and he mentioned that he felt Rare is either going to give SoT to another company and let them handle it (they have to set some things up first), or they're giving us one more update and then it enters maintenance mode. Many on Twitter are saying something big is clearly coming, with many others saying this is it. I don't know what's happening. The Skull of Siren Song lasted a week or so, and this season seems like it's already done. I logged on today and stood at Crescent waiting to see if any ships would come, and no one after 2hrs of waiting. Exactly what @KeylessWord4029 said, it's frustrating when we have age-old bugs we hoped would be fixed by now, affect the current season game mechanics, and finding out instead we get a new pistol sound. Instead of changing the sound file in the code, why not look at this bug first?

    @europa4033 New pistol sound, changed Bilge Rats to "Adventures at Sea", added a useless seasonal tab that ruins muscle memory for commendation and emissary ledger progress, added pirate profiles but did it wrong. Didn't add outfit saving, didn't fix ancient merchant bugs, hasn't made forced black screens less common. Hourglass was added years ago and the bug where you leave the ferry to just sit and wait in a half spawned state on your boat, able to hear everything happening around where you should have spawned, but the screen is black is still there. The lore of this game is basically wiped too, why does anything happen? Do we even really need a lore reason for things anymore? Any player who didn't play in 2022 cannot tell you why Flameheart is back, or why the Burning Blade is back, or why Briggsy is a phantom now instead of a skeleton lord. There are over 1000 time limited cosmetics listed on the wiki. All the work to make all those things and it's just gone. So why should we care about this season at all?

    Dead rumors and don’t ever believe what those kids say. They say stuff for shock value with no hard evidence just for views and entertainment

    Great suggestion on a bug, just don't play that portion the game...

    I've not had this bug apply to Smugglers loot personally.
