Castaway Idea

  • Yesterday while playing Sea of Thieves we had a lot of treasure but we were sank. I survived the attack and actually managed to kill the other people from the other ship, we were pretty close to a small island (Rapier Cay) so I grabbed as much treasure as I could and swam it to the island.

    Skeletons started coming out of the sand and I was fending them off, hiding our best treasures in the bushes to hide the green glow of the skulls from passing ships.

    My team spawned back near a new boat a decent ways away. They mounted for the rescue.

    I was stayed on the island with our treasure waiting for my team, fighting off wave after wave of Skeleton.

    Then... I was teleported back to the ship. No warning, no explanation, I didn’t talk to the mermaid.

    I thought that was a bad decision because the whole idea of racing back to save your treasure and crew mate was exciting and fun. I understand there are limitations of the software and hardware but come on! This is something that should not happen.

    I mean why even have the mermaid that teleports you back to your ship if it’s going to be done automatically?

  • automatic re-spawning on your ship happens when you get your character wedged/stuck

  • I had this happen to me tonight too, except like the other guy said, it was because I got stuck. I was actually chasing someone down to try to finish them off but I swam into some rocks and boom, back on my ship miles away. Infuriating sometimes.

    Also happened when I jumped full speed onto my enemy's ship, but the momentum carried me directly through their map table. Bam back on my ship. Really annoying.

  • @timmie - As the others have mentioned, this happens when you get stuck or the game thinks you are stuck. If you can remember what you were doing when you got teleported back to your ship I'd suggest raising a support ticket.

    In the past there was a few location that guaranteed being teleported but have since been rectified.

  • @timmie did you get your loot anyway?

  • @schwammlgott We did not get our loot, on the way back to the island the kraken showed up and sank us again. Then when we finally made it, it was gone.

    And I wasn’t stuck when it teleported me, I was actually mid battle with some skeletons.
