As much as I complain about it, the game has totally changed since beta. Pirates are no longer obsessed with killing each other and I find myself stopping along the seas to see what loot their is to find due to the treasure in barrel clusters and many sunken ships among other things.
This post however marks a turning point for my personal journey as I was trying to get the party ship accommodation. I had spent 3 hours sailing around trying to get struck by lightning and acquire the six flames. I told myself "dont stop to get loot because you will make yourself a target". What did I do? Dove right into a shipwreck. With 4 out of the 6 flames (just needed PVP and Volcano) i swam to the surface to see my ship being bombarded with cannonballs most likely to ruin hours worth of sailing. "Take my treasure, but dont sink my ship" I pleaded. Before i could figure out a solution a second sloop swooped in and completely desecrated my attacking sloop. Panicking i sailed away only to be attacked by the meglodon that had been pursuing me. Not only did the sloop save me from the ship, he stayed to slay the meg and I gave him my fishing bounty as payment, and I sailed forth to complete the accommodation.
So while there is still much room for improvement. A year after release we have the game that it should have been on release.
So good game rare. I will continue to complain as long as you continue to fix them.
P.S. Please give me battletoad sails. k thx
