So I've been playing AC IV for more than 10 hours and all I met was one white whale. No social chests or royal convoys for me, even though I have 20+ UPlay friends with AC4. I'm constantly connected to Ubi servers, so why no blue events for me? Am I the only one having this issue?
PS: I have no problems with Kenway fleet or other online features.
I have the exact same promblem, no more social events appear in my game. All I have is a social royal convoy marker north-east of Havana, but there's no timer when hovering it on the map, and in the world, the actual convoy is nowhere to be found in the area.
I believe the lack of social events are linked to the Ubi servers crash/downtime from yesterday, since they worked for me before the servers went down, but they stopped working since they're back up.
You're right, the social events have been gone for a couple of days or so. I haven't seen any since Thursday IIRC. Probably because of the server issues yesterday. The only thing that seems to be working is helping out fleets, but what I really want is those whales. Apparently I have found them before since I got the achievement for sharing everything, but I didn't start hunting whales until yesterday.
And I was wondering whats up with my game. I too dont have social (blue) stuff. I think something had crashed on Ubisoft's end and game can't see friends list. Strange, MP and kenway fleet works fine, but regular single player insists that I dont have any friends. I checked with other ppl and they have the same issue. No one has blue stuff and when you open menu > database > leaderboards and then switch filter to friends only (ctrl with default keyboard controls) there is only you and no one else.
