Very nicely noticed!

Now let's get it fixed

Hopefully this and the insta join when no one is in sight before battle might find solutions. I hope to F11 that one next time.

And the finding you in thick fog and rain one as well :).

some have complained of it but I have yet to see it though when logging out of port the weather is fine then turns to crap after a couple of seconds.

I'm always wondering how people do find out such things

We tested for this a month ago. Result: For others you are still on OW.  

[Skully]

The title is a bit misleading. 

It'll result in logging off while still having full sails, hence speedy log-off.

I saw this more than once in the past weeks. Interesting

Ghost ship is probably something different. We should test this again with an external observer.

Do you have a video by a second player confirming that your ship disappears?

[admin]

again. it only works like this in your client. 

to an outside player the person will remain on the OW.

I have two accounts and two computers.

Bring the server back up, and I'll verify this within 30 minutes.

I Think a player tradersbrig tried to do that when I targeted him. He dropped sails,  tag went down to 0 but somehow failed. He seemed to have disappeared. But I could tag him again and it worked that time.

No no, its the thing. You see a ship sailing in a direction, you tell the others, they look around, you look around and dont find it anymore: Ghost Ship.

Happened a few times.

I think i have to tell what the exploit is: In the normal case when you log out the ship sits still for the full 2 mins of waiting time in the open seas. The exploit here is, if you get hunted down, you do the list above and can still move around while you wait the 2 mins.

[Quineloe]

Admin is fully correct here, I've tested this just now.

The ship remained on the open sea for three more minutes.  I don't know whether it was attackable. It disappeared after exactly three minutes.

Just curious about a detail, with full sail or sails down?

[Quineloe]

full sails and it kept sailing. but the moment the timer was up and the client closed, the ship stopped with sails down.

Video to follow with Skully in it.

I just saw it happening with my own eyes.
The PIRATE Moscalb, sailing a SURPRISE under full sails, disappeared near Oranjested.

If this will not get repaired, and more people use it, the game is dead for me. It just wouldn't make any sense anymore. Exitus.

It can happen when they have spotted an event or mission which you have not.

If you have any doubts F11 it.

But you are full sail instead of sitting duck?
