    Hmm, interesting. I've known this map like the back of my hand for quite some time. Perhaps a photoshop? Maybe something from pre-alpha? Even Lookout Point is all wrong. For starters, it's not even facing the right way. It's supposed to face the East.

  • its also missing shark bait

  • @capta1n-cr0ss Trust me, I'm no good with Photoshop lol. I found this just searching Sea of Thieves on the internet.

  • @norloc Sharkbait is at the bottom of the map, This is in the 8-9 sections of the map.

  • @mad-jack-ketch

    Right. I never said you photoshopped it. I'm saying someone else might have and posted it to the internet. Photo to follow to show you what I mean...

  • No, @norloc is correct. Look here:

    @Mad-Jack-Ketch

  • @capta1n-cr0ss Yes, as I said, shark bait is at the bottom of the map. :P

  • @mad-jack-ketch

    You're missing the point. In the photo you shared, you asked where that island was. We don't know. What we do know is it was meant to be next to Lookout Point, and we're saying that Lookout Point is next to Sharkbait Cove.

    Hence me saying it's likely either a photoshop, or a pre-alpha photo.

  • @capta1n-cr0ss

    lol different pic??

  • @capta1n-cr0ss I know... I'm not focused on lookout point... :P But regardless perhaps you are right.. It looks quite a nice island on the map imo.

  • @mad-jack-ketch

    sorry i missed a post

  • Actually looks like an outdated version of:

    I'm more and more convinced this is a pre-alpha photo.

  • Or... even more likely yet:

    Similar name and design.

  • Probably an old map layout

  • @capta1n-cr0ss

    Wellspring became a fortress... the map was always changing in the alphas and betas.

  • Yeah. After looking at the current map, I'm fairly certain this is an older mock up.

    "Wellspring Island" is pretty much the same design as Hidden Spring Keep and the Lookout Point in the pic is the same design as our current Lookout Point but rotated ~190 degrees

  • @musicmee Thanks for the confirmation here. I was wondering where that went :D

  • @musicmee Perhaps you can confirm something for me then. I could have sworn in at least the first beta that Crows Nest Fortress (I think that's the one near Ancient Spire Outpost) was much more vertical with lots of ladders and the whole thing kind of wrapped around a large rock.

    Does that sound familiar at all? The first place I ever spawned was Ancient Spire and the place I just described was the first place I sailed to. It wasn't far away because I just sailed to the first land I saw.

  • @xcalypt0x It all does sound familiar matey... a lot of the islands have changed during prelaunch updates - The Crows Nest was one of them.

  • @mad-jack-ketch is this from one of the old trailers?

  • @ser-swag-pants I found it on the internet searching sea of thieves.

  • @musicmee That was a special moment for me, sailing there in my sloop :') Too bad they changed it to the generic fort layout it has now :/

    I'm really hoping in the future all forts will have a unique layout. Some of the inactive ones already do.

  • @mad-jack-ketch ahh I think it’s pulled from one of the early alpha trailers when they first kicked it off

  • @xcalypt0x Agreed! I love the tall forts that are not currently being used. Once they are enabled they will be trickier forts to take down...

  • @mad-jack-ketch #ThanksGoogle

  • Aye! Crows Nest at one point wasn’t even a fortress.. it was a very vertical island with a layout of land that wrapped around it, going up multiple layers until you reached the top. It had quite a view, and a load of barrels at the top!

  • @mad-jack-ketch If my memory serves me well i think this was from alpha/beta they changed a few of the islands as noted above.
