Sometimes you need to jump into the water for pure tactical/stealth reasons, and there's nothing worse than having your position exposed by a giant blue flare. I understand and appreciate the feature itself, but maybe make it a little more subtle? It would help alot, especially us solo players who need to rely on cunning a little bit more than a 4-man crew.
The mermaids
i may be wrong but the only one who sees the mermaid as a flare is the player who it belongs to. however, all players can still see it, but it will not glow for them. i have been in situations with several mermaids in the water, the others were not glowing. also there was a dude camping an island and i saw his mermaid off to the side, it wasn't glowing. Correct me if i am wrong.
nah, your good on that. Its why pvpers whole idea of 'watch out for mermaid flares' is stupid. We cant see them, and maermaids appear near where you sank your ship, so they CAN be hidden.
