Today I have a sad story to tell.
My first day returning to Sea of Thieves in quite some time.
I found that the Gilded Voyages were available near the tavern. I went over and selected one.
Wanting to sail around and loot I went over to my ship and threw down the quest, voted on it and then saw the 8 maps in my inventory.
Suddenly my game froze. I gasped, shook my mouse, spammed spacebar, mashed keys to see if it was a legit crash. Shortly after the game came back to life just to show the last input being communicated to the game was a keystroke to cancel the quest.
I lost my voyage, and wept.
Merry Christmas to you all.
