Forsaken Shores Feedback - I hate it (mostly).

3 friends & I had 0 problems. So probably this is not an area for 1-2 players. Making this area easier for 1-2 players then it would be extremly easy for 3-4 players. That's why it should be exactly as it is now.

You can still play the rest of the map but I understand the frustration when you wanna play this new area.

Outposts have never been a safe place, and the fact that there is a volcano on the outpost just goes to show how dangerous this area is. Being aware of which islands are erupting is just as important as knowing when other ships are near you. The volcanoes give you another reason not to stick around any one island for too long.

I do feel like the volcano range could be reduced, however something else could be tweaked, like making the superheated water last longer after a volcano.

I personally am having a lot of fun with this update, if i want to dig up chests without interruption i can do so in any of the original 3 biomes. This area adds new challenges, but also makes some aspects easier. (Like killing groups of gold skellies with the geysers.)

I mean.. you could just stay out of the area if you find it too hard..

Why does that make you enjoy the rest of the game less?

For you all, regardless of it being easy to manage it or not:

He has some points, many have brought up before, even pioneers!

• Range of volcanoes is too high. They wanted us to use the rowboat more in this area to keep the ship safe. But putting the ship at a safe distance where you can only get halfway to the island by shooting yourself out of a cannon is a bit too much. Trying to get back to the island and your rowboat after you were killed by a rock takes way too long.
• Frequency of Volcanoes is too high. I experienced that too often that you would wait for the Volcano to stop erupting and as soon as you are back on the island, after one or two minutes it would just go off again. It didn´t happen always, but a bit too often.
• Aimbot of the Volcanoes. That´s one of the strongest points here. Why would a Volcanoe acitvely aim for Players and Ships? You can clearly see 3 to 5 rocks coming your direction in every wave of rocks, as soon as you are in range. They are not all hitting your boat of course, but seeing half of the rocks that where shot out land in a radius of 5 meters around the ship is ridiculous.
• And of course on the land, rocks aiming for you actively (ever noticed that there are veeeerryy few rocks coming down onto the island when nobody is there?). Bringing your rowboat there and as soon as you stand up (cause it somehow doesn´t seem to target a player sitting in a rowboat) you see about 3 rocks coming down in front of you and are hit by the fourth.

I don´t say that it is impossible or too hard to play (or takes the fun out of it cause I love it) but it has some annoyances. Especially when you sail in and out of range of the same island 3 times cause it goes off every 3 minutes.

@commodoremerlin Well said me matey!

@jetorchidee97 Thank you.
As this is the more common feedback, I´m sure rare will listen and balance this stuff asap, just maybe not right next week or the following since they are busy with cargo runs and the secret week 4 commondations.

The area is challenging even with a row boat but the range on the volcanos is stupid they basicly have the aim of the skeletons before they got patched.

So you think gating off a large portion of the player base should stay exactly as it is? In a game with a huge lack of content?

Think about what your suggesting and the game as a whole. If what you said is true then Rare have really jumped the shark with this dlc. I honestly don't think they intended to exclude the 1-2 man ship type. Maybe it just needs a little tweaking and maybe you could stop telling other players what content is and isn't for them.

Content being harder than something we've already got, and requiring an adjustment of tactics and playstyle is hardly gating content...

Cry about gated content if they ever lock access to Devils Roar behind PL

when the volcano errupt u need just 5 wooden planks on a galleon for repairs,while the sloop takes 3 rocks in a row and it sink in seconds...

@beardstriker just meant thats the teamwork on the galleon u can park close to the isle one goes under deck if the volcano errupt u dont take much holes maybe 5,with the sloop u have to park far away or heading away really fast,the teamwork is one take care of the ship thats it.(sorry for my bad english)

From where is the info that’s in Week 4 special Commendations?

@boredburrito87 I haven't tried Order of Souls there yet, as a solo slooper I'm unlocking Gold Hoarder 5 voyages commendations but it looks like OoS is easier in FS due to geysers?

@mr-dragon-raaar
The main thing/hint we see there are promises/teasers in the past (they never actually promise and I´m not really mad if something they hinted towards doesn´t get into the game) and that damn shanty that can be heard at the end of the video about the FS.
