I heard that a day before the the new update happened (the Nimbus Sea one, not Easter one), Roblox had an update, which actually caused some bug fixes in AO to get straight up reverted (Im guessing thats how the weapon wipe happened)
Idk if that only applies to the Nimbus Sea bugs, or just bugs of AO overall. But that couldve been the cause for this one.
Either that, or Vetex was actually unsure if said bug was fixed (it would say [Unsure] in the trello notes)
At this case these whirlpools should appear in The Bronze Sea (haven’t seen them yet).
Most likely it was caused by weapons lvl change. All weapons which lvl was not reseted to minimum lvl were deleted and the ones which had their lvl reseted were kept.
Has anyone else been flung into the dark sea when trying to command a boat after coming into the bronze sea, and also had the effects of the Death curse appear on screen?
