Is there no way to join a pvp crew?

@mastercheef3951 Use Xbox groups or Discord.

I'll try it out, but ideally it shouldn't be this way, you should be able to use the hourglass for actual matchmaking imo.

Not gonna lie, I greatly preferred the previous pvp mode, except I love the aesthetic and story value of the new mode. I really wish this was done differently. I play with my fiance and sailing alone is certainly harder and random crews can sometimes not be quite what I am looking for. When I am alone, I generally like to pvp. So, unfortunately I have no avenue to quickly matchmaking into a fun sea battle anymore. I understand why they did it, but it could have been done better while still integrating it into the adventure mode. Hopefully this can change in the future to include matchmaking so I can still get the galleon pvp experience, without needing to commit to an adventure.
