Empty Islands - No Enemies

  • Hello all,
    Just arrived and wanted to simple ask a Q or two...

    anyway ive been on SoT for about 4 hours now and was wondering really just one thing and maybe someone could aswer it for ?

    when it comes to any open world game im the sort of player that will do a few quests here and there but i love to just head in a random direction and anything that catches my eye im like.. " ohhhh whats that ? " and head on over but..

    in the last few hours iv pretty much hopped onto my ship and sailed off
    exploring random islands and this is where my Q comes in .. were are the enemies ?
    i walk around the island seeing fires, camps etc island after island and nothing ? i might see a chicken, pig now and then or even a few snakes that also hiss but do nothing..
    but there is ment to me enemies yes ?

    even on the one mission i did were i needed to find a treasure i turned up on the island an two skeletons popped up from the ground.. thats it ??

    and i missing something ? are enemies only spawned when starting a mission ??

    dont enemies spawn when just free roaming the world ??

    or is this all just a bug/server/ launch issue.. that im seeing no enemies ??

    im def having no issue bumping into other ships/crews

    anyway plz let me know if anyones having the same issue or this is the actual norm ( hope not )

    cheers :)

  • No, this is actually it. There isn't much Content right now besides accepting those Quests from the three Factions. Enemies will spawn randomly though, when you exploring an Island. But don't get you hopes high, if you are really lucky you will find a Chest while you are exploring, but that's it.

    I hope to see Rare giving is much more to see and find in the future.

    For me every now and then skeletons spawned randomly, on some small island they are already there when you aproach.
    So for me there were enemies, but i was still able to roam around a while without being attacked every minute.
    Not having any enemies seems a bit strange, maybe it's just luck or something went wrong with the spawning of the skeletons.

    Also the snakes don't only hiss, they have a poisonous bite. this gives you a weird colored effect and you lose a bit of health for a while.

  • @hairyman-13 Do the Soul ladies quests. You complete them by killing skeletons and skeleton bosses. One of my missions I had to kill about 5 waves of 10'ish skeletons and 3 bosses. Plenty of enemies if you do the right things.
    Or you could try you luck/skill by going to the skeleton fort. It's the island with the skull cloud above it.
    You'll find tons of skeletons and bosses with a hefty reward at the end.

    ok so from your and the other persons reply it does see, like enemies only come when on a missions and not from just exploring/free roaming on your own... i hope its dosnt stay that way as id love be able to just jump onto a island randomly on the way back from a mission on or off mission and still have to face off against some enemies
