[Guide] How to enable Pirate Mode in SotA

A guide on how to reach a hidden Pirate Mode in the battleground SotA and  invade ships!

Summary:
I am sharing a fun/cool exploit that I found in Strand of the Ancients which allows you to get in the enemy ship before the game even starts.
PLAY SotA PIRATE MODE!!

Requirements:
1. Water walking of some kind (Path of Frost and Water Walking buff work best).
It can be done without water walking but it's not going to be as fun.
2. Gather as many people as you can (5+ for best results).

Procedure:
1. Rally the troops (non-literal speech) and mount up. Make sure everyone has and will have water walking. Follow one of these paths:


2. Wait for the ship to show up in the distance, let it get closer.

3. When the ship is about to reach your location, start running into it and JUMP into the front of it. (you HAVE TO jump into the nose of the ship, not the sides.)

4. Voila, you are in. Climb the stairs and let the boarding begin.

5. For best results, grab a pirate costume or a deviate fish delight. Lulz.

I found this explоit (I don't even know if this is 100% an exploit, I guess the fact that you can get into the ship is) while grinding honor with my friends.

Anyhow, have fun!
