We just defeated a the boss at the world event skull fight. After I got the key, I died and respawned at a new ship.. I was going back to the fort to pick up the key when I got the message "The world is changing" which meant server change but the key was no longer there which means I cant get the loot. They need to fix that
"The world is changing" message after defeating boss at fort world event. loot is gone
@itzthrillz177 It's sad, but it's not a bug you were probably alone on your server and it change.
But if you were still on the island normaly the loot are supose to follow you.@itzthrillz177 said in "The world is changing" message after defeating boss at fort world event. loot is gone:

is that real? huh.. so if that’s the case I want that notification every time I’m migrating instances. so you didn’t get anything? are you certain someone else didn’t snag the key and are just chillin on an island till stuff dies down?
Happened earlier to me I was playing solo on my trusty sloop and I was keeping an eye on a galleon doing a fort that I had been messing with earlier I was just gonna swoop in at an outpost and snag some stuff for myself so I was keeping an eye on the skull cloud in the sky while I was on another island looking for a chest pretty close by the skull cloud disappeared and then that message popped up on the screen and I looked over to see if the galleon was moving towards an outpost and it wasn't it was sinking so I was like huh...wonder what happened there then, went over to have a little nosey and found a vault key just sitting on the floor.
+1 do not fix. @ItzThrillz177
I hid the key before I died and no one was around so im sure someone didnt pick it up I didnt see any other ships.. I was there for 30 minutes just waiting around but nothing, door was closed. So basically server moved me out. yea super bad luck but that needs to be fixed
thats something different cause you would of been kicked off to new server as well
So it happened again. Cool game design smh. Not my fault servers are dead. They need to make it where if you finish a skull fort, give you 1 hour before changing you to a different server.
I get it now. Just bring a ship before you kill the captain cause as soon as you repawn after defeating the captain and that "World is changing" message comes on.. that skull key will be gone. 2 hours for nothing
I can confirm this STILL HAPPENS. Me and my mate battled it out for the skull fort loot for a couple hours with another sloop. and then ended up in a multiple hour long chase with them after we acquired all the loot. we decided to hide our stronghold skull at daggertooth. so long story short after a couple hours of the other sloop chasing us, they decided to give up, we cashed everything in but we had our stashed stronghold skull to pick up at daggertooth. so being all the way by sharkbait cove it was a long long way back going against the wind. as soon as we arrived at daggertooth and dropped the anchor we received the "the world is changing message" and in a split second we lost our stronghold skull that we were very much excited to still cash it in. this is by far a complete experience ruiner.
@nanach this message?
Not sure where the official commentary on this is, but basically, as others have said, ever since Beta (even Alpha Pioneers?) this message has appeared when your server is dead and you are about to be placed into a new server with other crews.
I believe this is not the same as when we see instances from the same server merge however, as that is supposed to be dynamic to keep people sailing near to one another.
I shall do some research when I get home, unless others can answer more succinctly!
There is confirmation of the server merge in this tweet from some time ago -
Looks like the question has been answered, and since the thread was a resurrected old one, I've locked it.
Anyone still having issues please check support.
