Island geography not matching maps.

  • I have had to cancel two missions now due to the Islands in the game not matching the geography in the maps. The maps show parts of islands that dont exist and make it next to impossible to find chests.

    Its bad enough that skeletons dont spawn half the time, but the gold horders maps are now broken to... GG Rare.

  • The only map I have a hard time with is Ole Faithful. I will not do x Marks the Spot in that island, as I hardly ever find the spot.

  • @xrekkoffx Ahoy matey!

    Do you remember which islands maps didn't match the actual islands and their features? If you do it would be worth submitting a support ticket using the link below so someone can take a look and see what issues you found.

    It's also worth noting that its handy to keep an eye out for:

    • Red Plants
    • Trees
    • Rocks
    • Sand Paths

    As these go a long way in helping you solve X marks the spot maps.

  • I'm actually pretty curious as well which island it is. Most, i find, are pretty accurate.

    With that said, old faithful and plunder valley are my least favorite. Whodda thunk a giant circle with few real land marks would be annoying.

  • Old Faithful can die.

    Gives me my Athena chest directly somewhere in the middle

  • I once found that the map I had for Cannon Cove didn't match up to the actual Cannon Cove very well. I spent about 15 minutes trying to find some gold.

    Then I realised the map was actually for Crooks Hollow and I was on completely the wrong island. Easy mistake to make (for idiots) as they've both got a jetty on their west side.

  • @musicmee Sunken Grove and Sailor's Bounty are the two I had to cancel on.

  • @xrekkoffx that is most interesting

  • Weird.. never had this happen to me, sailors bounty is always a welcoming sight to me because its so easy to find stuff, especially on the smaller islands

  • @simplybutta Its old faithful with the chest located on the rock that causes most grief

  • I steer clear of old faithful as much as i can. I hate that place with a passion 😂

  • They should rework old faithful as its widely accepted as a dead island so to speak

  • I've yet to see this happen, but I would suggest taking screenshots and submitting a support ticket so the devs can take look at it.

  • @xrekkoffx Did you mix up Boulder Cay and Chicken Isle?

  • @oni2anza only island I had a problem with was crooked masts. 4 treasures found 3 easily the 4th which was insight of one I had found had my crew digging back and forth across the north end of the island until we had dug over every inch without finding the chest.

  • I never had problems with that and I had on every island an x to dig...as far as I can say the maps are all pretty accurate

  • Its bad enough that skeletons dont spawn half the time, but the gold horders maps are now broken to... GG Rare.

    Skeletons got fixed about 2 months ago...
