Hi, I think I'm not the only one, but can we hope a minimum of double ship team up ?
What the point of having a guild if we can't sail toghether ?
Many of us are try harding to join in the same server, for hours some times (we just tried for 1h without success). We can ally with all the server, but can't easely ally with friends.
We understand that it can be unfair for ppl who can't do that, so maybe a restriction of 2 ships per guild in the same server to give others a chance to team up against ?
But now it is just frustrating to have a guild system without a chance to join forces in a chill trip without spending hours in the wind for maybe, if we are very lucky, having a dream come true.
Real guild team up when ?
@tyrakn use the tools that are available now to team up with multiple ships on the server. Rare don’t like it but they can’t really do anything to stop it.
We are, but except if we are unaware of some mechanics, it is based on luck to join 2 ships on the same server, and we have none. And it requires patience too, but trying 1h for nothing put ours in ordeal. And it is already hard enough to get 7 pple ready for multiple hours, some of us don't have enough time or courage to spend energy in the wind because of life (fatigue, work, need to sleep, social life, family obligations, etc.) and just want to have an easy way to do a thing that others do anyway but painfully
Edit : we have so bad luck that we havn't succed to join 2 ship toghether despite the multiple tries at multiple times
I also don
t get why we cant host a 2 ship team right away.
They added alliances, then added guilds, but what is the point if you cant form an alliance with guildmates or friends without some random chance of connecting to the same server?!?!? I dont understand the "balance" argument either. You can face a 4 person galeon crew as a solo slooper, that does not seem balanced either, does it? But it is what it is. And server alliances can be fixed by limiting alliances to 2 ships only. Or you can also limit them to brigs only, so you can have a crew of 6. Point is, there are ways to implement this properly.
Since servers can host up to 6 ships, why not make dedicated servers that can have three 2-ship guild alliances (no more than 1 alliance from the same guild)? The whole point of alliances, in my opinion, would be to have more than 4 people on the same team. But in reality, it is not the case.
I have 5 friends who play the game, and we can`t play together. And I bet a lot of people have this same issue - just wanting to play together and not being able to.@BKSerious We understand each other right
@ Captain Coel We are in the same region for sure.
@BurnBacon We saw that already, but we could do that before guilds too, and it is not my point at all. I mean to be clear : we want to sail side by side, as 5, 6, 7, 8 ppl. With formations of Double sloop why not, Sloop-Galleon, Sloop-Brig, Galleon-Brig, double Brig, double Galleon. At least.
And it's not just us, it's a problem for many groups of players, even ones that met in game (not our case, but I know there is.)@tyrakn the issue is alliances are generally uneasy. if it were 2 guild boats, they know there isn't going to be backstabbing. It's just too dominant.
@tyrakn "...What the point of having a guild if we can't sail toghether ?..."
There is no point. Guilds are not guilds like anyone who has played other games would think of guilds.
Guilds are a player made trading company with a grind. That is all. There is no social aspect, no tools to sail together, heck unless someone enters the game with a ship short of crew there is no way to join that we didn't already have with inviting friends.
The feature is a total failure.
Guilds as they are, are a stepping stone. I believe over it's lifetime, Rare has shown that it's open to updating and reworking existing systems as well as implementing systems that increase the gameplay of these systems (new voyages, emissaries, etc.) I believe we'll eventually see an increase in players on servers, as well as the addition of a fleet-like system. It may be closer to the end of SoT lifetime, or even a SoT 2. I feel that the if you look at day one to now, the game has evolved unbelievably well, and I'm excited to see where Rare takes us in 2024! More Tools not Rules BABY XD
@spoopy9host I hope so so much that you're right ! We are very sad that we cannot play at more than 4 on a game that good, so we play a lot less for that reason....
I keep an eye on it, but we had so many hopes for the guild system, the deception hit hard...As this thread was months old and revived today, it will now be locked.
