Gregory Rainsborough Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 (edited) Okie dokes so I was in battle with a Frenchie. I offered terms, he refused, he died. In the second battle, I wanted to kill him and then kill him in a different engagement so I'd have the choice of CM or the booty. Just before he sunk, he disconnected/ragequit (instant sails go down) and rather than tag the AI to keep it in, I thought I'd let it go onto OW. Battle ended with AI leaving. I left. No-one outside, no AI, nothing. No juicy Indiaman and the rude Frenchie will no doubt keep his booty He doesn't deserve it. It seems you can circumvent the reappear on OW mechanic if you d/c within the battle instance. Can anyone confirm to test this?

Liq Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 As i see it thats not a bug nor exploit When AI leaves the battle ("escaped") the player doesnt insta respawn in OW with it. I believe there still is a 15 min timer after you get kicked out from a battle instance after battle over. So after 15 min he should have respawned in the fleetship in OW.

Gregory Rainsborough Posted April 10, 2019 Author Share Posted April 10, 2019 (edited) His ship died and the AI was his only ship left. He should have taken over the ship and then respawned in OW but he didn't. Edited April 10, 2019 by Gregory Rainsborough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powderhorn Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I think what Liq is suggesting is that after 15 minutes, his Indiaman likely did reappear on the OW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beeekonda Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I thought If everything on one side is dead/escaped and last survived opponent leaves it instantly kick out everyone and closes the battle instance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I waited outside for 20 minutes I can confirm it did not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
