Losing pockets on game restart makes annoying bugs way more frustrating

    There are any number of reasons why your client may close during a session. For me recently it has been "counting your coins" hanging and "corrupt or missing data files". These issues are being worked on, and have workarounds, but one simple change that would take the secondary sting out of these frustrating issues is if we didn't also lose all the stuff in our pockets when we log back in. Changing it so we retain our pockets after a client restart within the same session would be a huge QOL increase in the midst of the other issues.

    Finding some cursed cannonballs, chains, and Pineapples after spawning, then spinning on a purchase, realizing all the good stuff you just got is going to be gone after you alt-f4 and restart, is incredibly frustrating.

    I would take it a step further and say that any instance where a player is removed from their session (voluntarily or otherwise), the resources in that player's pockets should just be put back into their respective supply barrels on their crew's ship.

    This is to stop item duplication.

    If that is true, then they need to put the time in to fix it another way and stop deleting pockets on client restart.

    Again, punishing good-faith players while attempting to temper bad behaviours.

    Seems they DO care more about cheesers/cheaters than actual players...

    Sometimes the philosophy is as aged as the mechanics.... In 2023, an AAA game where the only option you have to escape a bugged menu "counting coins" just because they didn't implement a server timeout (WHILE the "cancel" mechanic IS here, just ask a friend to throw a blunderbomb at you) is unacceptable in my opinion.

    That will most likely not happen, even if it did there are so many other much more important things in the game that need fixed first.
