Feedback Shadows Over Nautica

Ahoy lude1962!

Once this timer hit 0 you'll be able to press on this event ticker and offer your Souls collected so far.

Once a required amount is collected raid will jump to preparation phase and it will lit up (the event ticker) once it is ready - when that's happen simply press on it again and you'll be teleported to this new raid map.

nope still dosn't work

 

Ahoy steel242002!

The quest works correctly I did it on 3 ships on two separated servers.

Open your quest -> Go to Quest Log window -> Press the Eye symbol in top left of it -> Small window appear which list the coordinates in order.

Simply follow these.

When I saw the patch notes that the admiral (Shoggoth) spawn amount was changed I was not expecting it to be a larger number of NCP sinks to get a spawn. Ridiculous! I've only seen one surface admiral, which of course had hundreds shooting it because they are too rare, so I didn't get enough for the quest let alone event completion and now it's going to take even longer for one to spawn. I've never seen the Atlantis one spawn at all.

And this new Zoth map. I've yet to be on when I could add souls let alone get on to the map.

Yes, I understand it's early on in the event, but I have no intention of sitting in the game for hours at a time hoping to line up with one of the admirals or Zoth. These need to be available more often not less!!!

The list of tasks for the event completion is also ridiculous. Only the unemployed or bots will have the time to complete this one. These events are supposed to be fun and not be a life commitment to this game. The last couple of events were attainable without spending all day at it, let's change this one to match.

EDIT: So, I finally saw the serface admiral was near ready to spawn, but never saw an announcement when it did. So wait for hours and then don't have a every map announcement? Who thinks of these things?

Edit 2: Finally lined up with the Atlantis admiral. Got a whole 6M against it. Only 4 more times to complete the quest. And then got into the Zoth map. What a zoo, so many ships you can't even tell where you are in the masses. Got a whole 6M there too before being sunk. Wait 6 hours+ for 6 minutes and 6M. Hmm, maybe that's a sign? Unless something drastic changes, this is another event to skip and just relax with some other game that doesn't demand a lifetime commitment.

 

i just opened it again the first coordinent worked and the second one didnt

I got it done when I left the safe haven the coordinates reversed so I had to do them from bottom to top

 

The FAQs state: Note: In order to get any rewards from the event ships, you must have completed the first quest.

I just started the event, and haven't even completed the first quest. I sank this npc (and correctly received no rewards directly from that sink):

2026-10-24 21:49:19 You sank Worshipper Vessel's ship.

However, I did get these rewards indirectly from that sink, due to items it spawned:

2026-10-24 21:50:08 You sank Restless Bones's ship.
2026-10-24 21:50:08 You received 76230 x Pearls.
2026-10-24 21:50:08 You received 37854 EXP (experience points).
2026-10-24 21:50:08 You received 9655 x Pumpkin ammunition.
2026-10-24 21:50:08 You received 15 x Bone Essences.

My point is: what difference does this make? I hoped having to finish the first quest in order to get rewards was an "anti-cheat" feature to punish players with the debuff (who hopefully can't do any of these event quests). If so, it doesn't do the job. Anyone can still buy a lot of items in the market. I just wanted to mention this.

 

What you’re describing might be achievable in a test environment—which is clearly where you were. But in reality, when you enter a map containing a massive number of ships (I won’t give a specific figure, so as not to sound like I’m exaggerating), it’s an immense struggle just to get your ship to move; and if you happen to lock onto a target (!!!), the screen just freezes, and that’s it—nothing else happens... Honestly, this just isn’t serious. In two days, I’ve managed to deal 8 million damage (out of an 18-day event—with 16 days left), yet you’re asking for 1.5 billion. It’s simply ridiculous. Furthermore, the fact that the ship only appears every 6 hours—and that’s *if* you even manage to contribute souls in time—is absurd. Reduce the required damage by at least half, and make the ship appear more frequently (say, every 3 hours). Get serious!!!

 

my point being that I regarded all those options, ...asin they were met, and it did not work. (havent tried yet today, I'll get back to this)

Questions:
1. Shoggoth -dmg quest: I did not see a world message / Announcement when it spawned (and I've waited twice for this!)
> I'm a bit bummed, üerhaps I've missed something?

2. Cursed Souls: wheeeere might I find them? (FAQ does not mention /or I'm blind)
^^thanks

 

Ahoy Bawdyn!

The amount of NPCs required for an admiral changes due to how active the server is. So at this moment you may need 1 100 NPCs but later or 2 100 may not be enough!

We have forwarded a feedback note with a request for changes, so fingers crossed!

In which field do you think there should be changes within the event completion? (please take under the consideration that this is 19 days long event).

It would be of great help if you was in a guild, more players = more chance to see the spawn notitication, which makes it easier to hit such NPCs

Ahoy steel242002!

I am glad to hear that you've managed to complete your quest!

Ahoy The*Defiant!

There is nothing wrong here, the event NPC did not provide you any rewards, however minion (different class of NPC) did. This is not an error in the game.

This has nothing to do with "anti-cheat" at all.

Ahoy Helen-Gr!

Well, the damage achieved within my post was done on the UMS, and not the "testing environment".

If you struggle within this map due to the amount of players simply disable these options within your game client:

• Options -> Graphics
  • Make sure that your pet display is OFF
  • Make sure that your boost is ON
  • Make sure that your HUD and other players HUD are ON

This should reduce the amount of issues you may have experienced until now.

If you struggle in locking on an NPC simply use the RIGHT SHIFT (hold it down) and use SCROLL on your mouse.

By doing that you can lock only on an NPC and because Zoth-Dagon is the only one within your reach then your lock will be straight on him.

Ahoy Pagan_Spirit!

I can assure you that the Lamp works correctly.

You were simply to far away from the map where the admiral spawned, so you didn't see it.

Cursed souls you can obtain only within the Dungeon.

Ahoy Pirates,

We are syncing the following changes.

Event Changes:

• Loot of the majority of NPCs has been adjusted; some further adjustments will come within the next few days including Zoth currency scaling based on the user count
• Threshold for Zoth loot has been removed for loot based on your damage share, guaranteed fixed loot has had the threshold reduced from 1% to 0.25%
• Reduced the amount of NPCs required to spawn the Admirals
• Increased the Hitpoints of the Admirals
• Added Red/Blue effects to faction NPCs to easily identify which faction they belong too. As a reminder killing your own faction will result in no rewards being granted for that NPC
• Increased the announcement range for the Admiral Spawns
• Increased the Damage of both Pumpkin and Pyre Ammunition on Event NPCs
• Corrected the behaviour of some NPCs
• Added a couple of items into the Hourly Auction for the Event
• Increased the limits on the Ammunition packages (these reset weekly).
• Decreased the pearl price of the Pyre ammunition in the market
• Adjusted the amount of the Pumpkin/Spider/Bone NPCs spawning when various NPCs are killed

Event Bug Fixes:

• Corrected a bug in the Zoth map which prevented the Gazes from spawning sometimes
• Corrected a bug with the Zoom after leaving the Abyss of Shadows map
• Corrected Nadira Boro (the Healer) in the Abyss of Shadows map's healing ability; she will now heal you correctly instead of applying a small amount of damage.
• Madness is now removed when you are no longer in Zoth's Raid

Changes:

• Doubled the Minimap Ping duration for NPC Spawns that have this configured
• Due to players abusing the Group Battlepoints feature, to maintain fairness we have now disabled shared Battlepoints when you are in a group.

Posting this here too just to make sure everyone seen it .

Happy Sailing!

After testing zoth-dagon map (4times) I can confirm few points:
1- You don't have that power server which should avoided this mega lag on this map duo to tons of players.
2- Poor staff definitely know nothing about this game.
3- Failure company who for sure hire poor staff! While you are earning a lot!
4- I believe nothing will ever change (don't mean this event) but in general.

 

Hello
For the Zoth map, make it become active more quickly and include the tentacles calculating damage.
Isn't this a good idea? Otherwise, it’s a fun event.

Lathander2

 

How do u even differntiate between the other npcs, like what even is the point of making different factions here when it doesn't change anytime, useless devs, even more useless events, I would rather take AI slop at this point

 

Ahoy cʟαш!

Follow the instructions included in my previous post - this helps a lot.

Additionally Patchnotes stated there will be further adjustements within the upcoming days so please be patient.

Ahoy Lathander2!

Thank you for your feedback Pirate!

Ahoy Doom999!

There are 2 faction NPCs on the water and both of them (after the last patch) have dots in a different color orbiting around them.

In order to receive rewards you need to hit correct NPCs. NPCs without the orbs belong to Neutral faction and can be hit by all players.

@Rymar

I see they've made a number of changes. I haven't yet gone on to see how much help they are, I'll get back to you after I check them out. I note that reducing the time between Zoth maps hasn't changed. With most peoples game play they might overlap with one of these a day if they're lucky. I'm not sure why the designers go through the trouble to make a new map and then not let us access it. More frequent appearances could reduce the number of players in the map as well making it more playable.

The sheer volume of tasks is a lot to try to keep track of and to put focus on. Most of the tasks are not a problem on their own, it's just too many of them. Here are some suggested changes to some specific ones:

• We always complain about including Group Maps in the completion tasks, so that one for sure. Less or none.
• The 1.5B damage for Zoth needs to be lower, much lower. How much will depend on what the changes above make.
• The 1.5B damage for Admirals needs to be lower. Again, how much depends on the changes made to announcement range, ammo damage, and additional HP.
• Any task with NCP not listed in the FAQ. Either list them in the FAQ along with what phase/map they will be in, or don't have them. It's frustrating to not know if a required NCP is somewhere you haven't looked or not yet in the game. (IE. the set with Kill Alert and the set with Creeper)

Thanks for passing on our feedback.

 

Ahoy Bawdyn!

As you've seen within the patchday notes we do forward all feedback gathered via Forum and Chat as well as our own in-game experience which quite often result in changes to the event .

All Pirates input is much appriciated and helps us shape the current and future events, so please don't stop pointing out things that bring you all some problems.

Rymar

 

I am having trouble with this too. The top coordinate had no X, so I went to the bottom one. That X was there. Then went to the center one, no X, so went to the top one. No X. This is terrible. Can we just do them in order from top to bottom please instead of all this screwing around? There is SO much to do to complete this event and wasting time trying to figure out the "code" for this stupid quest is not helping!

 

Not true! I canceled then restarted the quest because it wouldn't work the first time. On my second try the order was not top to bottom, 1-2-3. It was 1-3-2., i.e. top-bottom-center!

 

About the group maps, I agree, or make it like the other event: put NPCs as allies so we don't have to wait 30 min in queue for something almost no one participates in.

. the zoth dragon: my problem is not about the damage thing, is more about the fact i have to wait 6h to exchange souls and after that 30 min to wait and then i have my screen almost freeze (it occured one time) because it was a lot people, since we have to wait 30 min to enter the map, make it so we appear in a map with a players limit, dont know maybe 10-20 limit, so people still has a chance to damage zoth and fell like we doing something, not like now, you click on it and hope that the game doesnt freeze. I know that we have a lot of time, and at the pace I have, I will probably finish this damage thing (if I can play the same hours at weekends, since on weekdays I don't have so much time). Or maybe make the map bigger so we have like 4/5 Zoth bosses but in different points on the map and they don't overlap so it doesn't become another "fiesta".

- I understand when SF puts a limit on some items on the market, but sometimes SF could be more flexible in these big events, and some items could be without a limit; for example, the super armour is a very good excuse to farm the dungeon so we can get a lot of these (as happened in the winter event); the dragon powder is another good example. The other armour plates could have a limit, but it could be much more than 2k, because they are useful against players and some NPCs.

 

Rymar - so why do the FAQs state this?--> Note: In order to get any rewards from the event ships, you must have completed the first quest.

Why is completion of the first quest "required"? Required for what? I must be missing something here, because I got all of the rewards without completing any quests. And after completing the initial quest, nothing regarding the rewards changed (that I could see).
