    No Need.

    I am checking on an update - however what I posted was about community challenges - I posted information already posted in other threads.

    There where some issues with the first in game community challenge, not correctly unlocking for everyone - events linked to initiates - may have been affected by recent maintenance, which if you use the site, you would have noticed.

    So, I will check to see if we have any official news I can share - it maybe a case of waiting for the next round - if you have missed any items already released on other formats - I have been advised that those items will rotate round again in the future - though the unlock criteria - maybe different


    These are different from Social Events - which should happen when people on your friends list spot items of interest in the world - so best not confuse the two.

    You do need to be both online - and - with friends playing for Social Events like white whales / royal convoys and chests to appear on your map - and even when they do - you have to find them quickly, since they do time out!


    If you have both of those requirements met - you should see some - however it depends entirely on your friends spotting them - and you doing it for them


    I will check if there are any reported issues - however I am not aware on any at the moment.

    Social Events are not working at all. It was working the first 2 days but haven't worked since Thursday.

    Other forums I visited have ppl complaining about the same thing and now this topic has confirmed my suspicions.

    SOCIAL EVENTS ARE NOT WORKING ON PC!!!

    Same thing here, social events worked on the first day. Have not worked since.
    My connection is fine, the friends helping fleets move faster works. The fact that ubisoft is not even aware of this as per Mr_Shades post is upsetting.
    Would like to be able to hunt white whales and finish hunting the royal convoy's.

    Same for me. On release date I had multiple Royal convoys, Whales and Chests, but in last couple days I haven`t seen any of those except one Royal fleet stuck near northern islands with no timer.

    Mr_Shade, I called the support telephone of my country yesterday and I was told that Ubisoft is aware of the issue and working on fixing it and there is definitely an issue here. On thursday I had 3 social royal convoys and I found a community treasure in quick succession and I got a shared white whale. Since then and I have been playing pretty much all weekend while being connected. I have 50+ contacts in my Uplay friends list and about 30 of those were playing pretty much constantly. Since friday there has been NOTHING on my end and NOTHING on their end, so you can't tell me that there is no issue here. And as far as I am aware that timeframe coincides with a server crash on the end of Ubisoft, so I think the picture being painted here makes perfect sense. Also this is not a PC only issue, on the console side of things you find threads about phantom convoys without timers etc. so yeah issue here, get it sorted out please.

    If it's a known issue (and it is) how is telling Shade to get it sorted going to help matters any faster?

    When a patch is available to resolve this issue, you'll know.

    I had an uplay-upadate before I started playing today and now I just found a social chest. Maybe its fixed (at least partially) now? If thats the case, then they seem to be less frequent than they were during release. But I think that'd be a good thing if you consider that there were more White whales that bullsharks...

    Single player didnt even see friends list on PC (go into menu > database > leaderboards and change filtering to "friends" by using ctrl button, you will be all alone here). It was like that for everyone in the last 3 days, MP worked fine, somehow only SP is affected. I think those issues (SP not being able to see friends and no blue events) are connected.
    Since there is a post about it working now I'll check later today.
