Glowing Skeleton Crewman.....

  • Whilst sailing the open seas with my mates, we came across a galleon who had a Glowing Skeleton Crewman!!!!! Anyone else run into him?!

  • @Valimore I don't think I ran into him, but I'll tell you what I did see.

    We were coming up on another galleon and I was watching them with my spyglass. Just as we were coming into render distance for players, I was able to see some of the crew on the other galleon 'pop' into existence on their main deck next to the cannons. For a brief second when they 'popped' in, they were a glowing skeleton before turning into the normal character model.

    Below is your picture. I know it is not an amazing picture, but it's the best I can do. This was a screenshot taken from a video of my game-play. I am looking through a spyglass in-game.

  • cant view pic

  • Yeah it's probable that these people were in a stuck spawn state or something. I've seen glowing green skeletons when I spawned in the same location as another player, literally "in" them, and I've seen them when people have spawned too. I think this was a bug of some sort.

  • Pretty sure that's just the way characters are loaded in sometimes.

    Once when I died and the game was lagging during the server issues, two other people on the Ferry of the Damned were skeletons, before becoming the ghost versions of their characters.

    It would seem our characters actually have a skeleton model under the skin. Not sure what that might mean but that's my encounter with it.

  • Let's try this picture again.

    You all might be right about the spawn state accounting for what was seen. I just thought it was interesting to catch it happen.

  • I actually loaded into the game and joined a crew who were all glowing skelies too. Probably just a glitch maybe? Dunno.

  • Yup that was what I saw! I was hoping it was caused because of some voyage you would do, an uncharted island/reef you explore, or some special chest you touched. Oh well, at least people now know I wasn't lying!

  • Can it just be a placeholder character which is shown until the game loads the correct character model or if a model didn't load properly?

  • If you ever watch your crewmates spawn in at the bar you will see they are glowing skeles before their image is loaded, it's probably a bug. But let's hope it's not?

    Also pics or it didn't happen.

  • Me and my friend encountered the same thing. It was my buddy whose model had changed. I believe that it is a placeholder model that is used when the player model hasn't loaded in.

  • One of my crewmembers was a glowing skeleton for a large portion of when we did the Ancient Isles battle. I assume it's a lag thing, just like how I sometimes warped under my ship.

  • we had it happen more then once

  • It was already approved somewhere that this happens when the character didn't load in properly.
    This doesn't change anything on the hitbox, afaik.

    Also this thread is 6 months old, it shouldn't be revived/necroed/bumped:

  • @FishSt1ck I was a skeleton last night right??

  • I recently got back into playing sea of thieves and every time I spawn my character is a glowing skeleton. It was cool and first but now I’ve started to earn more money and buy more clothes it’s annoying because there just pointless purchases. Sometimes I won’t spawn as the skeleton but I won’t be able to equip any clothes and then when I die I turn into the skeleton? It’s pretty annoying and I wish there is a way to change it??!

  • @valimore I realised that when you respawn, your crewmates who respawned are green, then when they remove their clothes than add it back again, they are back to normal, I don't know why but that is what happened to me.
