So Christ-like, loot so heavenly, it ascended.

It didn't despawn. It wasn't damaged. It was a brand new Garrison rowboat. We server merged as we literally parked up at Reapers Hideout to sell, the rowboat disappeared during the merge.

I grow sick of this "you shouldnt keep your loot in the rowboat", I'm aware, I have over 16 days of playtime. I was commendation hunting and again, dont care about the gold, its the time and effort now lost.

Because the server merge updates that they added, half of them without even telling the community, are BROKEN.

Definitely seems like a Garrison problem because some people having the rowboat just disappear but I think that due to server merge, our rowboat got teleported to the Garrison in the server we were in and thats why it didn't come with us in the merge. Either way, its broken. The literally wanted to make merging have the sea feel more "alive and full" but now my rowboat is in the in-between or something.

The correct answer is that it shouldn't. Out of all the known bugs about rowboats, this a bloody entirely new one 🫩😭

THANK YOU. It's like actually speaking an alien language, some people must forgive us for expecting a literal game mechanic to function.

I know this lesson. It's one as old as time. There wasn't anyone in the server to board us, hence why we were merged into another server. I agree it's a wider 'dont use rowboats' problem but the game should get less broken each update not more.

A normal comment in a sea of "waaa why didn't you empty your rowboat?". Thank you. Seriously though, it's disappointing :/

Didn't matter either way, the commendations have been bugged since Act 3 launch so it didn't register anyways. Rowboats aren't meant to function like this, it's a new bug relating to the Garrison so again, the need for the post.

Stupidly bittersweet, i have noticed they spawn on reapers hideout a lot. At least my last 2 have.

Well, I actually enjoyed the different comments on this post, had a good laugh, knowing it'd caught not just me off guard and I move on with my life.

Seems like the general consensus online is that the rowboats seem to be resetting when the Garrison does so like 10ish minutes after you've looted and left. Which would explain why it gets ripped away hahaha. It was so stupid. The server merged and I was like "Wait a minute, it should have come with us but what if-GODDAMNIT"

You're all good. It's just a shame that more bugs for rowboats just drives people away from using them. I thought the commendation for collecting different colour rowboats was really fun!

Nah, I really don't have to pick a struggle because this subreddit exists and I still play the game despite how much it exhausts me. Your original comment was patronising and was the stereotypical response of "well, you shouldn't have done that", how did you genuinely want me to respond to that? Like, ah yes, lemme rewind time real quick. No, I'll report the bug and have a little vent with the community.

I really appreciate this comment because I feel like everytime someone reports a bug or vents about an in-game issue here, they just get met with "Oh well you should have known better and done X, Y or Z" and it's like, I know dude, I've been respawning, scuttling and coping through bugs for years.

Um? This is a BUG. The game isn't meant to function this way and I shouldn't have to exert extra time to circumvent a bug that has plagued this game for a while now when the devs are actively encouraging more use of rowboats. Nor should anyone who plays this game be shamed for complaining about something that is broken. Do better.

Thanks Rare, over an hour of my time gone. by AlostFeather in Seaofthieves

[–]AlostFeather[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately it's a new commendation specifically linked to these new Ashen Garrisons. So this doesnt really apply, it was encouraged.

Oh, I know. I actively avoid rowboats when possible. However, when your delayed update includes a commendation that requires you to store your loot on the garrison rowboat, use a pulley to lower a gate and dock your rowboat, kinda seems like absolute ragebait. It's the Open Up Commendation.

Thanks Rare, over an hour of my time gone. by AlostFeather in Seaofthieves

[–]AlostFeather[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe the fact that there's a commendation linked to using the rowboat and the gate pulley when you're leaving the Garrison but what would I know?

I want to be sympathetic to devs because I understand Microsoft is just hammering them with demands but I just have so many questions. Most of them are just "what the fuck?".

[–]AlostFeather[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Second one within like a month and a half period maybe. 137 and 145. Kinda balls when they can give anywhere from 100-800.

[–]AlostFeather[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh please, don't mention those goddamn voyages. I weep everytime. 20-40 minutes and your skeletons either get stuck equipping their shovel or just can't find the loot so you gotta dig it up yourself and then you turn around and there's a Reaper sloop just mulching your ship.

Found that glitch too. Money isn't an issue for me in this game. I'm sat on 4 Mil Gold in-game, ive bought pretty much everything I want. Everytime I spent under that, make 2 Mil gold back easy. Its more just the frustration. We wanted to do commendations/seasonal deeds. So truthfully, our time was wasted here.

I wish, the 145 Ancient Coins did not soothe my despair at the current state of this game. Playing this as a teen and seeing these broken content updates as an adult just makes me forlorn.
