Phantom damage
This is an Cannonball hitting u being shot from the island.
This happens to me lots of times. I feel like the first cannon shot is late at being rendered so u never see it.Why i say this is a cannonball? Sometimes it hits u sometimes it misses u by a inch but hits the boat and u get a hole. this only happens with Cannonball.
Summary:
Unrendered cannonball.@closinghare208 said in Phantom damage:
@irhcsajr maybe scurvy maybe ghosts?
Maybe it's Ghost with scurvy !?!?!?!
@weakdexx Yep! It's the first invisible cannonball from an island. It happens to me as well and I just expect it now. I guess those skeletons need every advantage they can get. Won't help them in the end though! ;)

https://xboxclips.com/SnowfirE/cb308ba0-44d6-4632-a937-beb1c309103b/embedIt's the problem created by the rendering distance on X-Box. I play with friends on the PC and X-box and the X-Box has an annoying bug or lack of horsepower where the NPC's can see and attack you at a distance before you can see to attack them.
PC players, some also have this issue but it's directly related to hardware that's simply not fully up to the task.. Players with higher end PC's do not appear to have this issue as their game renders more consistently meaning you hear the report of the cannon fire / sniper shots. You see the animation of the cannons firing, etc.
Your video shows you were right next to a skull fort, and you were very much within range. Those skeleton warriors are darn near aim bot accurate depending on the patch.. They seem to buff / nerf them all the time.
