Wreck Missions...

[AngryPanCake]

There was talk about limiting the Deadman Chests to one per player. Has this been implemented? if not, should they be?

Also, does the Wreck Icon disappear once all chests are gone?

No Idea on the first part.. the wreck icon stays there all day long

Those events always pop out in the same areas of the map, as i see this it's only a reward toward alt accounts that can afford to have an alt to logout at sea in the areas in a trader ship ready to rush where those things happen, when event pops out they login and are already on the good area in a trader ship, need to sail at max 10 minutes, if not less, pick a chest, get a bit out of the hot zone and logout at sea again to come back and do a safer trip later some hours later when there will be less risks around...

Going there is pointless unless you are already at sea in a trader and very close to the event, starting from even the closest port will most likely be a total waste of time, game is an alt accounts paradise and those events are another of those things favoring them...

Icon remains for a while, even if the ships are all emptied.

Not sure now but wasn't 4 hours to open the chest, and game displays 3 hours, like 3h59 displays 3hours, 2h59 will display 2Hours etc , like for the TP's timer countdown ?

 

Anyways 3 or 4 hours leaves plenty of time to logout for a bit and wait for potentially less people around, with the OW speeds we get now it will be easy to join a port, leaves also time to take a F11 screenshot with coords before login out and communicate them to your friends or clan so they can either escort you or just glass around the area for potential risks before login in, and even without having to logout after picking a chest the alts are once again favored and encouraged in this event.

Thank you for responding to my post, but it seems like, as usual people are more concerned about Exploits. Which, I agree is a legitimate concern. However, I was hoping to know:

1- whether it is limited to one chest per player once he/she reaches the wreck, or is it still a free for all for whoever has the hold capacity!

2- Should the Icon disappear from the map after there are no chests left?

Again, thank you for participating in the debate.
