Vote to Swap Server

Give players the option to vote to swap server in the crew management tab while maintaining current voyage, supplies, loot, and emissary status.

The mechanic is already built into the game for when players end up on an empty server. Just give us the option to trigger it ourselves.

The option can't be exploited in any way that players haven't already figured out another way to do. And it'll give players a way to escape griefers who chase you around the map and prevent you from completing voyages.

I don't mind the occasional encounter with other pirates but it gets old when you need to constantly deal with players who don't care about voyages and rep and only want to mess with people.

You're asking for mechanic that actually helps you combat log?

No.

@wolfmanbush How so?

@twitch008 this would bring the griefers with you as they are part of your crew. People acting like pirates is not griefing.

I can't wait for the r/SoTCombatLoggers sub.

I vote to be an admin.

lol - r/SeaofLoggers even better

You mean ways to cheese the game and avoid PVP?

"So the server is rowdy, bunch of reapers around and some are aware we are doing an athena voyage and are spotting us, how about we pack it up and finish the last step on a new server lads?"

Lol this would be such a nightmare for PVErs even though they think it would help them

Doomboats fully loaded laying waste to every server on their path and jumping on to the next. Sounds fun eh?

You guys brought up a good point I hadn't considered. Still, a lot people do play the game more for the pve than the pvp and I feel the game is leaning heavy into the pvp crowd lately.

Be nice to see Rare do something to bring it back the other way a little bit.

@twitch008 how is it leaning heavy to pvp?

You know...I wanted to go on about streamers and events aimed at forcing ship to ship combat. But I sat here and actually thought about it for a minute and for every point I could make about pvp being pushed there's another commendation or event aimed at getting people to pve.

Sure there seem to be more toxic players. But I guess that's what happens when a community grows. (And maybe I just have a bit of bad luck in meeting them.)

Guess I should just shut my grog hole and get better at dealing with them.

I would be okay with an option to switch servers, but a fresh start without having to go all the way back to the title screen. It would save us console peasants without SSD's a few hours a month lol.

Absolutely against carrying anything over. PVP players are annoying enough without them being able to carry supplies over when they clear out.

You wanna server hop? Start from scratch every time.

They're only messing with you because they want your loot and your flag me pirate matey... High risk, high reward and all that..
