Poor Sunken Ship Design

[Mdntowl]

Tonight i was searching sunken treasures and out of 9 sunken ships 8 of them were a design that was buried in the sand and no access point to get into the treasure, it has always been an issue where every 7 or so we came across one that was not able to be accessed but tonight almost every one was that ship design and that is just not right, technically they should all have some access point to get in but to have this many not able to be entered is not fair to the game.

Never saw a treasure what I couldn't reach.

same thing,
2 grids 7 sunken tresures, 6 blocked by terrian

Thanks for your replies, i have found three ship designs, one you enter thru a maze on the ship, one thru a whole in the side and the third ship design is partly buried and there is no way to get to the treasure, if you have found a way to get to the treasure in this sunken ship design please tell me how i have spent a lot of time trying to find a way in on this one ship with no success! Thanks

There are several ships that spawn partially into static meshes.. those you can not get to but, yeah. there are uh.. I think 3? chest spawn points on them and each, you have to go through a different part of the ship to get to. I was curious if the sunken ships ever despawn if a player does not get the chest? IF they do not.. I can see, after a while that the ONLY ships spawned on a map are the glitched ones that no one can get to.

Very good point. The low level shipwrecks and the "broken" ones would be all that is left if the spawns for them don't change. I haven't tested it, but I think a reboot of a server will reset all of these. This gives and advantage to playing on an unofficial server that reboots in the middle of the night every day.

Well i am on official servers so it is not like it can just be rebooted and it seems like more and more of those ships are the ones you can not enter.

I am hoping someone from the game reads this and either lets me know there is a path in or can fix the ships i went down again tonight and it seemed two out of three where not able to be breached.

Wow apparently the ships of the damned now follow you thru from zone to zone so you are no longer safe if you make it thru. that really sucks so not only do they hang where you can crash into them or be bombed by them while you are frozen going between zones but they can follow you thru causing twice as many in a zone

You know the devs game design skills are bad when you see things like this. I think it's good they will follow you to the next grid, but how they spawn in right on top of you while you are frozen when loading in is not good. Had it happen too many times while in a small ship.....ruins the immersion rather quickly with those type of arcade mechanics in a half simulated world.

Had sunken ships spawn in terrain too - nothing you can do but just take it as a loss and try another spot

[Mdntowl]

Well i would much rather have them follow me thru the grid then have the right on the other side of the grid line, that is for sure because if you are frozen you have not way to fight back and we have lost ships twice to this once from going thru the grid line and ending up right into the side of one of the ship of the dammed and since we were frozen still we had no way to even try to turn and the other time was to go thru the grid line and there were like 5 or 6 ships bombing our ship while we were all still frozen and by the time we un-froze we were sinking already with no chance to get away at all.

Thankfully i have never had one of their ships spawn on top of my ship, that would really suck and you would think there is a way to not have them spawn if there is already a ship in that spot.
