Game needs a unstuck command for PC and xbos

  • As title says SoT needs a unstuck command for unfortunate circumstances where you get stuck between two unclimbable terrain. Earlier this evening my crew and I were on a voyage and I picked up a chest of thousand grogs due to the innebriation from the chest my toon wandered off a cliff into a crevace between two large rocks which couldn't be climbed out from the result ended up with us losing the chest as only way for me to get out was for the rest of crew to vote to put me in the brig (which worked and got me back to the ship) but with a unstuck command or selectable option i can see this being a problem for solo players if it ever happens to them.

  • if you hold the chest and you crew votes to lock you in the jail you will teleport back there with the chest. Than after 17? minutes they can free you. Not the best idea, ofc, but still possible :)

  • @haiafang
    There is a mechanic that should respawn you if you got stuck, maybe this mechanic still doesn't work perfectly.
    Maybe you have a specific description of the location and open a support ticket?
    If you travel with a crew, maybe an explosive barrel is a (admittedly: quite brutal) solution to force you to respawn as a workaround, but it sounds like the game mechanic still needs a tweak.

  • @dimitarkaludov
    You do not keep hold of the chest if sent to the brig, you drop it where you were when you get voted in!

  • @logansdadtoo unless they changed it from the alpha you sure as hell keep it :D. On the last alpha I just entered a crew that had landed on an island, got out of the ship, found the treasure and got sent to the brig just a second after I picked it up, so I was in the brig, with the chest

    I think it's more like 5 mins. But I didn't know about the chest teleporting, interesting!

    I agree that this needs to be a thing, but there needs to be something that prevents people from only using it to quickly teleport back to there ship if they are far away or something. I.e you need to be stuck in the same place and not move for 2 mins or something

  • @DimitarKaludov once the vote to the brig is accepted you drop the chest.

    @SirLiborius The area in question was the Old faithful Island (same one with the glitch where you can see through the world on one side of the island) you maybe right about the respawn mechanic but it didn't work for myself rest of my 4 man crew tried to find of way of being able to retrieve myself and the chest and after ten minutes I told them to just vote to put me in the brig to get me out of the stuck area lol its the first legitimate bug/problem ive ran into in the beta so far.

  • @dimitarkaludov
    You're not supposed to talk about the alpha, as that is still covered under NDA.
    In any case, you have never been able to get sent to the brig or use a mermaid while keeping hold of a chest!!

  • @logansdadtoo Well as I said I've been in the brig WITH a chest. Could be some kind of bug, since I got in the brig literally just a second after picking up the chest and I stayed there for a minute before leaving the game w/o losing the chest. I guess it may have been a bug, idk...

  • @dimitarkaludov
    It must have been m8, coz i did test the chest teleportation theory quite thoroughly ;)

    Thanks for the warning, but i'm not from Rare. ;-)
    The crew can't do much as there is no clipping between players.
    Using the brig is an interesting solution.
    Maybe even using the sword could work?
    You could try to hold attack for the charged sword stab which boosts you forwards or hit a parading player, after 3 hits you should get thrown back. Could this work with crewmembers?

  • @sirliborius I tried used sword atatck to no avail even tried to wall climb ie finding spots in the terrain that may have allowed me to air step out but nada was well and truly stuck the only solution we found was the send to brig option it meant losing a chest but meh better than being stuck rofl I submitted a ticket to Rare anyway about it.

    ... rofl ...

    It's rodl (rolling on the deck laughing) in SoT

    Can confirm. Last night I fell through an area on an island that was missing a chunk of the ground, ended up in a shallow area of water that I couldn't leave, looking above I could just see clippings of grass and my crew looking over the edge at me. One dropped the explosive barrel down and blew me up. Brutal but successful.

  • @twofivethreetwo
    Sounds like Mermaids Hideaway, there's a known hole in the ground. I was able to drown myself down there.

  • @sirliborius Yep, that's the one. I never saw the hole and was really confused where I was. I had to guide my crew to me as I was curious what it looked like above. After respawning, I found it again and felt like an idiot as the ground was clearly missing.

  • @twofivethreetwo
    Sounds just like my encounter with this. We just didn't watch our steps.
