So, while sailing with friends I have noticed an unfortunate phenomenon. When pirates leave, they have an annoying habit of dashboarding and choosing Quit, turning off their console, hitting the ❎ in the upper right corner, or hitting alt+F4.
DON'T DO THAT!
Instead, open up the in-game menu, and choose Leave Game. This way, the game actually recognizes that you purposefully meant to leave the game. If you don't do this, your pirate gets put into a 10-minute holding queue where I can't invite anyone else. So for 10 minutes, I'm sailing inefficiently, and we all know that I can't have that!
So, show your crew some courtesy the next time you leave, and do it correctly!
Also, don't forget to unload your inventory of supplies before exiting. Not doing that's just adding saltwater to the wound... 🙄
