People Leaving with Flags

  • Hello Everyone,
    Since this update has come out I have noticed people leaving before they sink with their emissary flag which completely gets rid of it. This is unfortunate for the people doing reapers bones and people that want to get the commendation. This has happened multiple times with my crew and I and it is pretty annoying that people are able to do this.
    Thank you.

  • When a ship sinks, if they are not near an outpost, the flag will be floating in the water. It very small little stick with the flag wrapped around it. Difficult to miss but it does appear.

  • @burnbacon did you read the post at all? People who leave the game before they sink lose the flag from their ship completely. It disappears and does not float to the top as a little stick like you say.

  • Apparently, quitting from the home screen causes the emissary flag to not appear. As such:

    Scuttle, yes.
    Leave game, yes.
    Home, quit game, no.

    So you can effectively deny loot by closing the game from the home screen on xbox.

    PC boys, would this be an alt+f4?

    Have not been able to verify but I would imagine that alt - f4 would simply treat it like a disconnect. Leaving the ship idling for a bit. Giving ample opportunity to sink it.

  • I realized quitting from the home screen would leave you afloat for 10m too lol. I guess solo players quit for the wins lol.

  • What do you expect when you harass other players who aren't bothering you. You act like a pos, then you get what you deserve. I no longer have any sympathy for anyone who harasses another player in sea of thieves.

    Look at the last 3 words of your quote above:

    SEA.

    OF.

    THIEVES.

    They're not harassing anyone; they're just playing the role of PIRATE.

    I feel like you've been jaded a few times to many?

    Based on your comment you are considering a player aligning themselves as a Reaper Emissary and attempting to take someones Emissary flag so they can make some gold and reputation (Someone playing the game as intended) as harassment?

    Have you got any constructive criticism to contribute to the post?

  • @captainseahippo I guess it's like @PithyRumble said...Home menu-close the game, it disappears...
    Because I see so many emissary flags lying arround outposts from people who forgot (or probably don't know) to put the flag down

  • @galactic-geek Learn what an actual old school pirate was. That's what this game is based around. Rare what's to spout some b.s. pirate code that no one follows and there is absolutely zero punishment for it. True pirates followed the code no matter what and if they broke it, they were severely punished. Rare is pandering the streamers that are making PvP popular and are expecting no backlash from it.
