How to make an item vanish from the game.

  • My buddy and I won a fort key from the crows nest fort about 2 hours ago. Just when we killed the boss and got the key a galleon showed up. To make a long story short we hide and waited on an island far away hoping the enemy crew would leave. It took about 1 hour and 15 minutes before they stopped looking us and/or camping the fortress. We were on the top of ancient spire outpost. My buddy, holding they key, jumped down the cliff to get on our sloop when he landed he instantly re-spawned on the boat and the key was lost. Just vanished. No clue. To put it lightly I'm am outraged. Unbelievably mad. We literally spent the about 4 hours total trying to get that key, then having the "wait-out" for over an hour for absolutely nothing. The re-spawn/stuck mechanic is total BS.

    Good April fools joke Rare.

  • The respawn is only there if the game thinks you got stuck. Sorry, but If you were carrying chests the same thing would happen. I have never lost anything, but I have been stuck a time or two and had that fix me.

    I think I prefer the respawn being a bit quicker than needing me to restart or relog to get unstuck. Sorry you lost your fort.

  • Yea you respawn on the ship if you get stuck in rocks or something, its likely the key is still right where your team mate got stuck.

    ^^This. Has happened to me a number of times. Go back to where you were before spawning back to the ship and it will be there. Now you know for next time anyway, sorry for your loss.

  • Going back to the stuck location is not true. We searched the area for over 20 minutes.
