Hello, I would like to suggest that the game cause the boat's anchor to drop automatically if there is a problem in which all players fall from the session (especially if they are alone on the corvette) and to prevent the boat from being vulnerable to the anchor drop by itself
down anchor if the player falls from the server
@ellan-ferreira
That's been suggested before but I dont like that idea.
I never drop anchor as it is so I'd not like it if the game automatically did it for me no matter the circumstances.If my boat is moving then it is for a reason.
If I return and the anchor is down then I could be caught by a pursuing ship or being pounded by island cannons.@ellan-ferreira I can understand why you could want this yet I could see more troubles with it not. If you continued sailing and crashed or the environment attack you then more than likely you can rejoin before you sink. A single hole from a crash takes a bit to fill the ship. Environment has to spawn and takes a minute before it attacks. In some instances you may sink. More than likely not though. If you anchor then you are a sitting duck. If players or the enviroment attacks you then even if you are invulnerable to damage when you spawn back in they will be waiting to immediately attack when you become vulnerable again. Players could even get on your ship and be prepared to kill you. I understand possibly losing what you have but the chances are greater if anchored. Last week I lost the first Box of Wonderous Secrets I had found in a bit over a year of playing due to having to rejoin the server. It was due to a technology glitch not getting kicked but i still had to leave the game and rejoin. I wasn't anchored but I was sitting still and more than likely if I was moving I would have been ok. So I can understand the loss but sitting still while not on your ship is far more dangerous than moving.
