Sorry for posting this here, but seems I'm not able to use the Support option to report bugs anymore.
I've just been in a battle against a skeleton fleet and... there were no skeletons. Only the ships. They were navigating without a crew, captain, snipers, etc. No one to repair the ship, no one shooting at us.
It happened West of Sharkbait Cove.
I experienced another bug while fighting the Skeleton ships... Not exactly what you experienced, but one of our ships had an unwanted passanger.
She did not let go... Ever =P
The left side cannons could not be used, because Meg was blocking both of the cannons. Talk about a handicap!
Anyway, the no skeleton thing sounds awesome. Wish that would happen to me so I could get the last Area kill.
@meltdown-666366 That was being a bit trigger happy. @Arcangelo87 clearly explained exactly what he experienced.
The crew of a skeleton ship failed to spawn. Easy enough to comprehend.
Shortly after game launch I had re-spawned virtually without health. The little health that was indicated, was barely a red centimeter at times or as low as two millimeters upon other spawns. Once it started it lasted the entire game until I quit.
I never knew of anyone else that happened to until being told yesterday by a friend that she has had the same thing happen to her too.
That particular friend and I played together on two different servers yesterday and shared two totally different experiences. The first was full of bugs.
My regular crew mate joined us for our second encounter of Cursed Sails and he couldn't understand the issues we explained to him, almost dismissing them to be untrue due to his own two experiences with the event earlier.
Now I see a thread about some of the things we told him of and many have said they had the same bugs yesterday too.
As @Maquark pointed out, just because a certain experience didn't happen to you doesn't make it a lie.
There was no need to shoot him down like that.
Fair winds and happy sailing to all. :o)
Happened to me last night in same area as well. Us and another brig did the battle 4 times in a row since they kept respawning and made out with ridiculous amount of loot since only took 1 cannonball to sink anyone.
Thought it was meant to be that way since it was our first encounter i thought maybe the other two got harder as you went along. Tried today and the ships had skellies on em. Enjoyed it while it lasted. If it happens again farm the shiz out of it

Be sure to invite me to the crew for that easy loot and commendations push-over. lol
@arcangelo87 does this link not work for submitting bugs? https://support.seaofthieves.com/hc/en-gb/requests/new
it loads one page but after a while, it will load with the drop-down menu to submit a new ticket
@triheadedmonkey thx mate, this link works.
Forum is giving me a lot of problems after the changes. I don't receive notifications most of the times, even if I'm following the threads. I always have to manually check the threads where I've written something (doing it right now).
Sometimes I can't access some pages, like the one for sending a Support ticket.
I don't know if is because the main site changed into Italian cause I'm in Italy. Once it was all in English and it worked fine.
Do you all know if every game server has the same game date time? We have joined into at least 6 different games over the last hour or so trying to get a different in game date time so we can do the other ship battles but we keeP getting the same date time. Is there something we are missing? We only can play for an hour or so in the evening so playing at different times of day doesn’t work for us and honestly seems like a silly requirement. Surely I am missing something.
@arcangelo87 I wasn't sure where to post either. I've had similar problems with the cursed ships. But my biggest problem is that i have done one battle so far. Fought 5-10 ships idk. And sink the last one get the loot and we're off to a outpost. But... I got nothing showing up on my commodations. No battle won no ships defeated. Just sucks all that time we put in and nothing. Am i missing something? Who knows. Hope i get some feed back along with your post
@arcangelo87 & @i-love-crystian
It just happened for us today.
Did the whole fleet of eight skeletons ships minus skeletons.
@arcangelo87 said in Cursed Sails HUGE BUG:
@meltdown-666366 I'm telling you, entire server was farming ships.
There are no skeleton crews, you only need 1 cannonball to sink a ship cause there's no one on board.
Some people said that there aren't skellies even on islands, nor animals, on the entire map.
Yup I can confirm as this happened to us, no skellies on the ships at all.. they were like Uber self-driving ships! I did also notice no skeletons were on any islands that we stopped at to resupply, there were no sharks in the water either which made ferrying treasure back easier too. I don't know it's related but there was only 1 other ship on the server for a long time, it was like no-one else could join.
@arcangelo87
The Release notes have been updated now with some new known issues -
Skeletons and animals may not spawn as intended.
We are aware of this issue and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible.
Also happened to my crew last night. We were armed to the teeth going into the wilds at 3am as I'll be going on vacation for 4 days and wouldn't have time to do it otherwise. Got to marauders arch, fully stocked (we had been gathering supplies prior to the fight) with 20+ barrels on board.
We started the fight, and the first 2 ships that spawned had skeletons. We actually made short work of them and were feeling good about soloing the fight. Then the next wave came in, and as I'm the designated boarder, I got on the ship and dropped a barrel. As I ran around, I noticed there were no skeletons on the ships. I thought there was no way I was going to be that lucky. And every ship after including the captain had no crew. After we sank the captain ship, we got the stronghold loot. As we were loading up to leave, the event started spawning skelly ships again. THEY HAD NO SKELLIES!
I say to my crew "take what you can boys, give nothing back". We all got a good laugh, and proceeded to massacre at least 4 captains ships worth of waves.
All in all, I think we made it with about 90k worth of loot. Got the 50/50 achieve, and my other guys got the conqueror of fleets comm for finishing the wilds. While the bugs are definitely annoying, I am still somewhat thankful that we were able to do that before I leave for v**a as I won't be able to play for a few days. I do hope they get it fixed, but definitely if it happens guys, take advantage of it
Im finding it pretty game breaking. The glitch makes the skele ships floating treasure troves, but because the potential gold gain is SO substantial im finding that most people playing right now are doing nothing but server hopping for hours JUST to net a glitched server. This makes finding people to ally with next to impossible since it seems for some reason these servers don't spawn any other ships rendering some commendations impossible to get. And even if you are on a properly working server you can never find someone to ally with the help with the skellys just because absolutely everyone is server hopping. While we was trying to do a legitimate battle we sailed passed 2 galleons and 2 brigs who just sailed to the nearest island after spawn to confirm whether or not the server is glitched then scuttle and hop to another server. It's clear that that is what they are doing because weve seen at least 4 different crew do it in a row over the course of 2 hours.
I joined a bugged USA server where the crew had been doing the Cursed Sails event for 7 hours prior to me joining, without spotting a single vessel at all.
So if people were server hopping to find bugged ones, they didn't hop onto the server we had for at least an hour (maybe two) after I joined.
The ghost ships are the new (temporary) skull forts for now so I guess we should expect people to server hop to find easy money and rep. We just weren't aware of it at the time.
Other ships eventually arrived and all hell broke lose.
We all left it due to the serious rubber-banding.
Now I'm used to a ping exceeding 300 and an average frame rate of 15 - 20fps. So when I say this session was bad for lag, I mean it was REALLY BAD!!!
Not only were player's and their ships getting thrown about, but floating supply barrels and message bottles were also bouncing meters up out of the water.
The skeleton(less) galleons were colliding with each other, spinning on the spot, submerging, flying and standing vertically upright.
I guess they weren't kidding when they named this event. lol
It became totally unplayable for everyone. But otherwise, a good night was had by all thanks to the great company and plenty of laughs. :o)

Correct, the new server hop is even easier now! Trying to get crews with the same sails is a battle also. Had a great session last night with another crew, faught the skellies and just won it with 2 galleons, epic fun
I had this issue yesterday, though it was one of the first times doing the event so I thought it was normal.
Also, had a crew mate today say they have friends who have been keeping a server alive where this bug is persistent (via afk'ing and constantly having people on there), and they have made 5 million gold off of it. I am not sure how true this is, but if it is true, then THIS IS A PROBLEM.

Probably why they are hard to find, people holding onto them to milk all the cash! I need to find one!
