Fixes and improvements from the first in-season Skull and Bones Season 1 patch notes

The threat caused by Ambushers (Rogues and Plaguehunters).
Rogues & Plaguehunters should be automatically de-spawning when their target enters “out of combat” mode.
Reduction of the aggressive behavior of the Rogue Ambushers and the La Peste Plaguehunters.
They will disengage after a shorter period of time once you enter a den’s safe zone. They will also stop pursuing you if you manage to create a significant distance with them, and they will focus on the player that triggered them unless you attack them.
The spawn rate of Plague Prince as a reinforcement has also been reduced from 50% to 25% chance.
You will need more Plaguebringer Captain’s Heads to reach the maximum spawn rate and their spawn frequency has been reduced.
When at the lowest level of hostility, increased the spawn intervals from 200s to 360s.
To reach the max level of hostility, you will now require 10 heads instead of 7. The spawn interval will remain at 90s.
Scaled the difficulty of Rogue Ambushers.
The ship rank of the Rogue ships spawning will be proportionate to the number of Pieces of Eights you carry.
SR 9 for 1-399 Pieces of Eight
SR 10 for 400-2499 Pieces of Eight
SR 11 for 2500-14999 Pieces of Eight
SR 12 for 15000+ Pieces of Eight
Fixed a bug where only La Peste Plaguehunters were spawning as reinforcements when player carry Pieces of Eight. After the update, either Rogue Ambushers and La Peste Plaguehunters may spawn as reinforcements when players carry Pieces of Eight.
In addition, all Rogue Ambushers should now drop loot.
Improvements and changes made to PvP activities (Helm Wager/Cutthroat Cargo).
Speed debuffs which affects the player carrying the item.
Maximum ship speed reduced by 20%.
5% for Helm Wagers.
Stamina depletion speed increased by 150%.
Quality of Life Improvments
Changed the way weapons are sorted in the menu
Currently equipped in the slot (first)
Currently equipped in other slots on the ship (second)

Player’s name display
Made improvements to the way players’ name display to ensure they are always readable no matter the background image.
Server Stability
Improving the server stability with the update, which should significantly improve your experience playing the game.
Change to the automated ban criteria
Made some improvements and changes to prevent abuse of the reporting tool and avoid players getting banned unfairly.
Vocal and text chat disabled in game
Unfortunately unable to reactivate the chat and voice features in the game yet as there is still a need to fully resolve the technical issue that forced the deactivation of them.
