Diving/Portal Adjustment

    When you dive to a location or attempt to take a Tall Tale portal, you will resurface/appear within the same server unless there was only one other player within that server who is not within about double diving distance. This would help fill servers up and keep them full while still giving players the full utility of diving. Even if a player were to dive away from you, they would still end up resurfacing somewhere in your server.

    In addition, MAYBE make the dive cooldown timer 15 minutes regardless of if you complete the voyage, or a 5 minute timer upon voyage completion.

    Kind of a....Quick Escape tool instead of what its meant for.
    Reaper ship coming toward me, and are good enough distance away, Grade 5 whatever flag. Dive away and "hope" Im still in same server just somewhere else far away. :p

    I believe they should only allow "Raids" to be Dived too. No normal voyages, and as you suggested they have a cooldown before able to do again, or very least Fail/Complete the voyage. (or sink) not scuttle.
    That and Move ALL TT to Safer Seas. Simple as that, clear up High Seas of clutter.

    But then I’ll never be able to get the shores of gold curse, since I have no intention of ever logging into safer seas. I’m like 75% of the way completed and will revisit it someday… not in the tutorial mode which in no way represents the core gameplay intent of sot.

    No it won't, because if a player goes into the TT portal just to do the tall tale or just to AFK (have a safe spot to wait while doing something else), that empty spot won't be able to fill, since it has to remain empty untill either that player returns from the portal ór quits playing. It does the opposite, since otherwise after going through the portal that spot could have imidiately filled with a new player.

    To say that Safers Seas don't represent the essence of the game... Well, you clearly haven't understood anything. Because Safers are also present in the stories. The developers have said this over and over again! At some point, it needs to sink in!
    If you don't want to go there, that's your choice, but that certainly doesn't mean it doesn't represent the essence of the game...
    If you're one of those who think that Sea of Thieves is all about PvP and the like, then you've completely missed the point of what the game is really about!
