they didn't actually increase the time that loot floats in water for

    in fact they lowered it. i sunk two skel ships today and lost most of the loot because it started sinking in about a minute and a half.

    @acetemanophen they didn’t increase time they made loot rise faster. This may bring the consequences of loot sinking sooner than most expect now.

    The sink timer should start when the treasure gets to the sea level - so it's likely it sinks faster after killing the ships now. But one minute and half seems really short.

    @archaell I should get a stopwatch and test times at some point

    If anything its not minute and a half.
    galleon sunk, took around 15minutes to get back. mostly everything was on the surface.

    So maybe a fluke of nature you had?

    That's part of the difficult, be able to gather the loot at time.

    I've timed it in the past, and if you're in deep water it takes 3 minutes after surfacing for most items to start sinking (cages and cargo take longer). With the quicker surfacing that doesn't give you much time to pick them up.

    so it turns out i did misread the patch notes. but still, something changed in this patch to make loot start despawning after only a minute and a half, which is ridiculous.

    I have no hard metrics on this either, but I swear it felt like loot was despawning faster than we were able to grab in some instances. At first I was thinking it was just me, but dang it felt like time felt shorter before loot disappeared.

    Personally I would like for loot to stay around a little longer. Nothing like dieing to a Kracken and then come sailing back very quickly only to find that nothing is around. Very disheartening.
