Set Sail Today!

Tweaks

• Added a new icon for the Fourth of July holiday!
• Added an end message for the Fourth of July holiday. Apparently it only had a start message previously!
• Reverted the change to Kraken Hunter fleets to have a countdown timer. They should now deploy instantly.
• Lowered the countdown timer for the Queen Anne's Revenge from 10 minutes to 5 minutes.
• The gun skill Grave Hook no longer requires a reload after using.
• Buffs and debuffs on the enemy health bar should now have smooth countdown rings instead of counting down in second intervals. If you hovered over a buff it would have the smooth behavior; this change applies it overall.

Bugfixes - General

• Fixed player cards not loading properly.
• Fixed crashes with player card loading.
• Fixed a bug with combat effects rendering incorrectly for human-type enemies. This should fix issues players were having about lingering combat effects!
• Fixed a rare crash with the Inventory page.
• Fixed a rare crash with Invisibility potion checks.
• Fixed a rare crash with the Lobby user interface.
• Fixed a bug where some flagships would show empty loot containers. This is related to a flagship change we made regarding loot. No important loot was lost as the empty loot would have just been something with a 100 percent drop rate, such as a potion.
• Fixed a UI bug with the bonus reputation display for potion results.
• Fixed a bug where emote chats would send twice, once for the emote user and once for everyone including the emote user.
• Fixed a bug where changing pages while trashing items in bulk would delete the wrong items. We apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused for people!
• Fixed a player model issue with Cavalry hats on male pirates.
• Removed deprecated peddler items from the Peddler shops. A patch has been issued to change any deprecated items received during that time to their proper versions.
• Fixed a server crash related to duplicated loot timers.
• Potentially fixed more bugs regarding combat synchronization. This basically means that the result the player sees and what the server sees agrees. Say that ten times fast!
• Fixed more bugs related to sailing loot and how the Loot Scoreboard displays loot. This is mostly a backend change and should hopefully fix more instability with sailing loot.
• Fixed various bugs with the spawn force field effect on enemies showing in duplicates and popping in and out when it is not supposed to.

Bugfixes - Black Pearl

• Fixed a bug with inconsistent Black Pearl ship positioning for the Navy Panther attack phase.
• This should make the positioning consistent for players and should no longer cause a soft-lock.
• We did not necessarily intend to patch glitches associated with skipping the Black Pearl at this time, but we did this to stabilize the ship for more consistent behavior for regular gameplay.
• We are aware of alternative methods to skip through the battle, but we do not intend on fixing those until we come up with a solution for improving the battle itself. We apologize for the frustration that this change has caused.
• Fixed a bug with the cutscene for the Navy Panther attack phase not playing correctly.
• Fixed a bug where shout message sailing skills like Open Fire would not distribute to the crew on the ship during the Black Pearl Boss Battle and only to the helmsman.

Known Issues

• Ship sails seem to have weird issues with fog. This is likely due to the Time of Day system. We will fix this when we can.
