Random Teleportation To Ship

    Is anyone else still having issues with random teleportation back to the ship? It happens to me on three islands (Crooks Hollow, Crooked Masts, and Devil's Ridge) and it used to only be during skelly battles, but now it is doing it when I carry chests too. This last time I was carrying a Grog chest and when I went back to retrieve it, it was gone!

    I put in a support ticket a couple weeks ago but I haven't heard back yet. Is anyone else experiencing this still? Curious to see when it happens to you all and if it is only on certain islands.

    I know this was a topic a while back, but I cannot find the thread in the search options, so sorry if this is already actively being discussed elsewhere!

    This happens because you got stuck or the game thought you did at least. So instead of being stuck it sends you back to your ship safely. Unfortunately there are false positives and you lose stuff which sucks. I have used it quite often for my benefit though, After I sink a ship I go to the bottom deck for a free ride home, I've also had it go horribly wrong where if i miss my jump from my crows nest to the enemy ship I get "stuck" between our ships the GBP drops and because its moving and comes in contact with a ship it damages both ships. It's a blessing and a curse lol.

    I know they implemented it to address the "stuck" bug but I think it's overkill. It seems like you trip on a pebble and you get ported now and it's a pain when you're running on a fort and your ship is gone. Maybe at least give an option to teleport to your mermaid?

    I wish you could toggle this effect instead of it happening automatically. Obviously there is some code that triggers it so maybe have a dialogue come up to choose your spawn. Or just address clipping and why it's so easy to get stuck in terrain.

    I'd say moving your toon up and to the right when a "stuck" happens would be much more desired. then teleport if it happens again in a small amount of time.

    It’s a broken fail-safe in the game. You’re supposed to get teleported back when you get stuck but when I get teleported back I’m never in an area where one could even come close to being stuck. It also never works when you’re actually stuck.

    Happened to me hiding at a fort yesterday. Was hiding on a crease in a rock. lasted about 5 min then POP went back to ship. Was trying to get a easy 5 pack of exploding skellies with Gp.

    fort with another crew commendation bests me again. Only 7 more to go though

    @dunkachino1124 Mine have started to become random and it is frustrating. I don't mind being back on my ship, but I do get a little salty over losing treasure for no reason other than I walked across a (glitched?) portion of sand.

    @reptartheory It is because the game thinks you are stuck and "saves" you by sending you back to the boat. I have noticed that it has become a bit more aggressive in recent updates, might be physics related or out of fear of people getting stuck. Very frustrating though I agree, especially when you lose a stronghold skull and then it disappears from where you vanished from.
