Sea Monster Hunting

Bug Name:

Sea Monster Hunting​

Bug Description:

Few things.

1. Sea Monsters will random teleport after 5-10 minutes of combat when any camera view is on them (assuming aggro range reset).
2. Damage detection is buggy on all sea monsters. If a monster hit player boats, no damage is dealt (all ships, however players not using cannons or dailing will be dealt damage). On the flip side however, players at times are unable to deal damage even though you're RAMMING or using CANNONS. Seems to be affected by server stability?
3. Monsters will "ghost" during fights randomly. You can be fighting a monster for over 30 minutes, and it will not die (despawn tick? Server doesn't send despawn packet to the client).
4. There's around a 30-40% change that when monsters die, they will not drop anything (light beam will show, corpse is flashing). Having multiple pets or swimming to the corpse will not provide collect interface.
5. Mobs will randomly spawn or show themselves (You're unable to see them far out).​

How to reproduce/proof:

Take a sailboat and RAM/Cannon Sea Monsters for 8 hours and everything mentioned above will be reproduced.​

 

+1. Not dropping some items, or nothing at all, confirmed. But also not showing the light-sparkles/beam where the loot is suppose to be.

EDIT: Here's a video: https://streamable.com/akle9

 

I asked on Discord if anyone else was having this issue and someone said, it might be the itemfilter.
I disabled everything and they drop again. @Kaeda : You might want to check your filter.

 

Never had access to the dropfilter

 

There are less sea monsters than retail.Is it bug or is it a feature of the game?

 

Quick retreat doesn't seem to work, all it does is draining ship's power like mad (like minus 35-40% after a single fight). Literally unplayable, wish i could get back to skilled now.

 

Can confirm the missing loot when ramming sea monsters. Happens very often
