Moderators and Admins have been discussing fishing in regards to the new update. I want to point out that the fish in the voyages behave as loot, not fish. This makes them more of an interest to making a completely different category. There are currently no plans to allow voyage fishes into the old runs. It does not make any sense to do so, and as you stated severally damages the integrity of the existing category runs. I will say, the current discussion leans toward a separate and new category. You may be aware that we generally do not add new runs or rule adjustments within the first 2 weeks and sometimes within the first month of ANY update due to the nature of a live service game. This is the ideal time to provide this kind of feedback.

In live services, updates are often patched within the first month and those patches can make a huge difference in how any given run plays out. Any runs submitted that do not fit current rulesets, or are content considered for a new ruleset will sit unverified until Admins and Mods make a final decision on how to appropriately address the dynamics of the new content.

Thank you for your input!

Do you mean a run of the tutorial voyages or do you mean Maiden Voyage (already exists). Do you have a proposed rule set?

It's been briefly discussed with mods and dismissed. Could be reconsidered if someone wants to pop into the discord and suggest a ruleset to start with.

There is already a 100% Maiden Voyage run. We will discuss the others in the admin team in discord.

Individual runs/categories will have information regarding dives in their rule set if it has an effect on the run.

CESTQUOICA your video is not viewable. I do want you to know that Mods have an ongoing discussion in discord regarding dive runs for both world events and for regular voyages. I'll make sure the information you've shared above is included in that discussion.

To answer all of your questions: Launching a player across the sea is not allowed. Each tall tale has specific rules telling you where you can start it, if you have to be on the boat or island. If the OOB is not to an intended spawn point, it is not accepted, as Sentanel stated in a previous post, MI OOB seems to be a dev intended spawn so it's acceptable. Sword lunging is not a glitch as it is an intended mechanic.

The are "Game Rules" and which are generic for the game, and then to the right of those each category has it's own set of rules as well. You did in fact follow the game rules, however if you look in the "Category Rules" specific for FotD it clearly states that ALL POV's are required.

There is only one person reviewing runs at this time, so verification has been slow as there are some runs that are a bit longer than others.

are you suggesting a speedrun of the full voyage? are there any conditions that you think should be considered such as having the full x map?

This would require that pirates setting foot on the islands have their pov included for verification. What rules/exclusions do you think will be necessary for this type of run to be successful?
