@galactic-geek
Ah sorry my bad.
I must of been reading too fast. You said 'do want both' but i thought yoy said 'dont want both'.

Sorry mate.
Yeah having both options would be good. Having access to it from menu would work well too.

@daringclarky Start a session just to leave it to join another through the lobby system you propose?

No.

It needs to be accessible directly from the main menu 1st...

Why not allow both?
Enter the tavern from main menu and walk through it if you wanna leave your current crew.

I dont get how anybody can have a problem with this. Its certainly better than open crew.

You misunderstand me. I do want to allow both. I just don't want your initial idea without the other - that is to say that I don't want to have to start a game, and then have to leave it to reach the backroom lobby. It's too many steps, when you could just go directly into the backroom lobby from the start. I don't really care whether you switch some time after you've already started (from there).

Well having both allows you to do exactly that.

You can enter from main menu and when you want a new crew.. Walk into the tavern and have the same effect.

You could walk immersively into there or go from menu.

Whats wrong with that?

There isn't anything wrong with that. The original idea didn't propose getting to it from the main menu - that was the problem! Not the idea as a whole itself!

Without access from the main menu, it was simply too many steps to take - starting a game solely to start another game seems to be rather very unintuitive don't you think?

Why is everyone misunderstanding me? 🤬

So if you are already in a session just walk into the tavern room or use the menu. Whichever you prefer.

@closinghare208 I never said that I didn't like it. There's only certain aspects of it that I don't like... 😑

Think of this idea as like an in-house discord of sorts. A way to immersively meet your crew before you sail. Discuss what you wanna do before you enlist or just enjoy a drink and start chatting with people.

Basically theres a new room in a tavern you can enter. Perhaps the one the mysterious pirate is guarding...

Going through the door transports you to a seperate server lobby.
Similar to that of Arena lobby except there are quite a few tables and things.

SO HOW DOES IT WORK?

Well dont worry about your ears bleeding from the many many players inside. You cant hear them.

You can only hear people who are sat at your table!
So sit down at a table and then start chatting. Ask what they wanna do, if you are up for doing what they want then throw your dagger into the table like you voted on a voyage or something.

Throwing your dagger down registers you to the crew of anyone else on your table thats done the same. Once thats sorted, vote on the pirate map in the middle of the table to start the session. Once enough votes are cast, everyone who had a dagger in the table will load into a session, with the relief and confidence that they have a good crew.

Every table has a figurine of the ship you would be sailing on. Fancy a sloop? Sit at the cosy and intimate 2 person tables usually at the edge of the tavern. The rest of the tables are 4 person and 3 person, brigantine and gally respectively.

This solution would be quite immersive. I'll explain why...
You could of just cashed in at an outpost with your old crew when they either wanna log off or do something you dont wanna do like a TT or something.
You could part ways and walk through the tavern and find another crew without having to trawl through discord or minimize the game to create or find a post.

Sit and drink and actually find people who are looking to do the same thing as you. Show off your cosmetics and titles to make yourself more appealing.

To be honest im surprised its never been implemented.

i love you're idea unlike @Galactic-Geek
