Holm Hansen Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Chest A: Note for a rare uncraftable ship, Paint Chest Chest B: Note for an common craftable ship, no Paint Chest From same Event. Is it intended or is it caused by technical reasons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(craftable vs. non-craftable ship) and paint chest is completely missing. Before it was the case that Deadmans Chests always have included RNG-items from the same category. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jodgi Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Similar issue with bottle loots; Most of them are so shitty it's barely worth the time to go out and retrieve them 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan van Santen Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 (edited) Indeed. Sailing to a bottle/storm wreck and back is usually 2hrs+. Plus search time for storm wrecks plus risk to loose the race. Loot quantity/quality should be worth the time spent/risk the risk/time vs loot seems to work in other areas: Eg the loot from hostility mission ships is way inferior than that of same rank in ow. So a general balance according to the risk/time to loot ratio seems a legit request imho. Edited February 17, 2019 by Jan van Santen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How come your wrecks spawn so far out? Yesterday eg i opened a bottle south of Kidds and the wreck was close to Swannsborough. According to netlify map thats 343 K distance.

Holm Hansen Posted February 17, 2019 Author Share Posted February 17, 2019 (edited) It also are matters in the whole discussion: How often do you manage to get a chest from this event? At how many failed attempts? (there are also need time) Or you missed the eventstart in online-time. And finally, at the same running event, chest B contains nothing else that you could get in the normal game too and chest A contains things that you cannot get on an other way in the game. Also was in the former events the content of the chests in all the same, category related. Thats why i think, its can in this case also be an technical issue. Edit: ok, seen too late, you talk about bottles... Edited February 17, 2019 by Holm Hansen addition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan van Santen Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 BTT than: Not to mention that during yesterdays storm wreck event we got a rain storm in the area, making it very hard to even spot a wreck..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
