Massively OP’s not-so-serious end-of-the-year awards continue today with our blooper award for most bizarre thing in an MMO this year. And the winner is…
Inadvertent spyglass dongs
Back in September, Sea of Thieves had a wee bit of a problem with a bug that overwrote the animations for holding a treasure chest and holding a spyglass, which effectively led to a week of players running around with, er, erect spyglass dongs. Shenanigans ensued, but unfortunately the bug is spent now. “Fixed issue with telescope clipping,” the patch notes blithely said.
