Normally skelly forts are my favorite thing to do in the game, but this is getting out of hand. We need a way to tell the difference between an emergent fort and a voyage fort. I am trying to get all the Wrecker of Reaper Fortresses commendations so I can get the whole DB shipset. I saw a reaper fort, so I sailed to it. Then, it despawned without a player claiming it, because a dude spawned in a skull fort. UGH. At the time I didn't realize that it wasn't emergent and the 0 second gap between the Reaper fort despawning and the skull fort spawning. (the lack of fort horn shoulda tipped me off. ALAS!) I saw the skull fort had seamlessly replaced the reaper fort, and I was very, Very VERY! annoyed. Regardless I went there (I heard about the ashen mega stash on skull forts, more FOMO PROMOs, but whatever. Money is money. I need the commendations anyway) I got there, and saw a dude there (that also shoulda tipped me off, but I wasn't in a thinking mood then) He ran when he saw me (Is the waffie that scary?????) and I got the fort. I opened it..... only to find athena garbage. There needs to be special clouds for voyage forts to tell if it is emergent or not (maybe a company symbol on cloud forehead?) and If a skelly fort or other event is active, voyage diving SHOULD NOT replace the current event (this happens SOOOOO often. My FoF is replaced with a voyage skull fort) Also, TAKE SMUGGLER LOOT OUT OF REAPER FORTRESS LOOT POOL!!!! I don't mind the black powders and skulls in the arsenal, but who likes fighting off 2 crews and getting a few reaper and normal items AND LIKE 20 SMUGGLER ITEMS???? THEY AREN'T EVEN REAPER ITEMS!!! Reapers doesn't even take them. I hate going to 2 or 3 different locations to sell. Please fix
Let's Face it. Skeleton Forts Need a SERIOUS Overhaul
@Metal-Ravage Ok, that is not the case. Reaper forts RARELY ever have a reaper chest, and skull forts don't at all. And I complete them for commendations. I WANT THE DARK BRETHREN SHIP!!

And everybody wants to rule the world my friend but unless they do something about it, tis unlikely to happen is it? Get back to grinding, you'll get there eventually!

Loot is Loot.
and if you knew it was a Raid Fort, why bother fighting over it?I saw a reaper fort, so I sailed to it. Then, it despawned without a player claiming it
Happens.
Money is money.
Here.

"Money is Money" and its Athena...
@BurnBacon Yeah.... you said you think the smuggler loot isn't worth selling, and now your telling me it's worth something??? Also I am not an athena fan....
The forts are also INCREDIBLY buggy. I fought off 2 crews at a reaper fort and the boss didn't drop a key. Didn't see it on map, and the door was locked. Maps lead to forts on other side of server, and other minor things. Also, I don't really understand why the FoF is like 10x as valuable as Reaper forts. Reaper forts (In my often bogus opinion, but, there you have it!) seem to me (See previous) harder than the FoFs. The FoF is a ton of waves of random, kegable, burnable shootable skellies, and an Ashen lord (Fun, yes, but throwing knives SOMEHOW do more damage to Ashen lords than normal skeleton lords) Reaper forts on the other hand... Waves of different (though not as varying as Fof) skeletons, including not one, but TWO fort bosses, extra tough bone and blade skellies, A normal lord, the dark brethren raids, AND the DB ships which make it SO much more difficult (leave your ship for 2 seconds during a ship wave and it sinks) Yet, the loot pool is VASTLY different. Maybe give the reaper forts at least SOMETHING of worth??
Do it on safer seas. I’ve come to using SS for specific things due to how having other crews in the server can cause an activity to not work. Such a boar wallows, in high seas they never would have loot in them but on safer seas they would. They seem to have fixed it finally but I did my boar wallow comms in safer seas. Eternal guards were the same, couldn’t find any on high seas but plenty on safer seas so I just did them there. I did my reaper fortresses there too. Then back to high seas to do content that doesn’t get bugged out by other crews being around.
