You are responding from an emotional standpoint instead of an informational one. You say the code "needs to do something" but that coding is already created and implemented, is it not? That's what you push every time you join a game. Can you be more specific about what would need to be done outside of simply removing the command for online matchmaking, and duplicating a button that says "Private" or something?

Exactly where in the game can you create a private session/ship? That code doesn't exist, so i has to be created and tested. It's not the same on as where you join a game because it requires a different task to be executed. There needs to be code that makes sure a session is private, stays private. Also that button needs to call the right action, if that button would just use your copy past method. Well than people who make a private session would still end up with randoms, because it uses the already exisiting matchmaker.

I'm coming from both standpoints both emotional, because i am a developer myself and you think it's just add a button and tadaa, and an informational standpoint. But you read past my information to suite your needs and don't answer any questions that you are asked. All this, because you are ignorant.

No, no, you're missing the point. The session doesn't need to be private, only the crew. Maybe I didn't say it clearly, I was talking about Private CREWS, not a private lobby with no other ships. What would need to be done besides removing the matchmaking?

@d4u2s0t

It's hard to read isn't it, my first line:

A session is for you and your friends. It's the ship/crew/session, whatever you want to call it. It doesn't exist yet, so it has to be coded. And thus tested.

But hey, keep skipping the reading part and just comment blindly.

yikes... You are clearly over stating your knowledge here in some weird attempt to "best me". Why are you so emotionally vested in this?

The only thing required to have a private ship is to REMOVE MATCHMAKING lol. It would be no different then when 3 players leave you alone on a galleon, except now it WON"T ADD YOU TO THE MATCHMAKING QUEUE. That's it. Nothing else needs to be done lol The ability already exists in the game, that's what you're not understanding.

@mad-mordechai The 90 FPS options should not have been removed, and will be put back in the next patch.
If you have vsync enabled and the game is running at 50 fps then this probably means your PC is unable to run at 100 fps. When vblank is enabled on a 100 Hz monitor a frame can only be displayed at every 1/100 second interval, so if it just misses one then it won't be able to display it for another 1/100 second after that, causing a frame rate of 50 fps.

@d4u2s0t

Still not reading but only typing.
Where exactly can you create a private crew/ship/session?

And this has nothing to with "besting one", it's about actually knowing how developing works and some random claiming he knows how it works. Altough you really don't know anything, with your copy and paste methods and just remove this and tadaah

A private crew is the default once matchmaking is removed. Think of choosing solo sloop. You now have a 4 player lobby with no players being added in unless you send them an invite. Inviting friends already exists. Solo ships already exist, which means they already have the ability to bypass matchmaking. Simple. How hard would it be to program in a 2 man sloop on the "solo" setting? It would be as easy as changing the #of allowed players from 1 to 4 in the table while bypassing matchmaking, which IT ALREADY DOES. lol

@khol-thndrwlkr This was a terrible reply. lol

The merchant quest is cancer. It would be totally fine if you didn't have to do all three factions to get pirate legend, but because you do, and because 90% of people hate merchant, they clearly missed the mark on this one. There's always going to be those weird players that enjoy things like sailing around collecting animals, but don't force the rest of us to do these goofy voyages.

I couldn't really care less if you didn't like my reply. I like merchant quests and the people I play with like them. That's what I care about.

@teddy-25 Can you clarify the respawn patch? Did you shorten the time players need to stay on the ship, or did you decrease load times? Ship combat is one of the things keeping this game fun, but right now stalemates are all too common. Players come back too fast and repairing is too easy, so it can be a barrel them or give up type of situation. I would love to see you guys increase respawn times if you were killed by another player to help make ship combat faster and more enjoyable. Thanks!

@d4u2s0t

And that is where you are wrong, they have no option to bypass the "Matchmaker". They have an option to set your crew size:

• Solo sloop
• Duo sloop
• 3 man Galleon
• 4 man Galleon

This has nothing to do with a private crew or something, it's just the max size of the group you play with.
Example, me and my 3 friends play. 1 quits and my crewsize is still set to 4, a random will join because there is a slot available and it is not a private crew.

Private crews don't exist and thus have to be created. And that takes time.

Also i'm really wondering if you know what a matchmaker is and what actually happens when you join a server.

Your scenario includes matchmaking though, which is the opposite of what is needed. Remove matchmaking and now nobody joins when your friends leave. Nobody joins when you choose a private sloop, right? So this is literally exactly the same, with the # of allowed players raised. You are way, way overcomplicating it.

First, you have no idea what matchmaking is and what actually happens when somebody joins a server.

Second, nobody joins on a private sloop because the crewsize is 1.
What happens if you add another person to that? Well 1+1=2, 2 is bigger than 1 and tadaah that is not possible because the crewsize is 1.

I'm not overcomplicating it, i know how a private system works. And that's not just using the shipsize as a guideline.

Thirdly, by using your idea. And removing the "matchmaker", how would you join a game? Because what you suggest is just remove everything that Rare uses to get you into a game.

Just stop talking because you have no idea what a matchmaker is, how joining a game works. And how creating private sessions/crews work.

I keep waiting for them to finally fix the cannons. When firing a person out of the cannons it almost is never accurate. Either you fly 45 degrees to the right or 45 degrees to the left. I've had it happen on rare occasions where it literally fires me straight down into the water super deep. Firing people off cannons is a crucial way to board other ships and it's incredibly disheartening when you've been chasing someone for 30+ min and you're first two cannons shots are miles off from your target. This drags on the chase for another 20 min until you get back close to your target. The second I'm on someone's boat, the fight is over within less than 5 min. I wish they would fix firing people from cannons and take it as a priority because it's a HUGE bug that's incredibly annoying. It also happens all the time for people trying to speed run athena quests, when dropping people off at islands to solve a riddle or tap the chests and you're miles off your island making you swim for a couple minutes to get to where the cannon should have fired you in the first place. PLEASE please please fix this Rare.

• [PC Only] Half Vsync option was removed. The Frame Lock option should now be used instead.

Still not working 30fps lock is still there.
