Hey dev's
I was wondering how much you play in open crews? (in adventure mode)
It's not what it used be. When the game started, we were all the same. As we ranked up (at different paces) there was still a common competency for the game... As time marches on, open crews no longer support like minded/skilled pirates finding each other.
It has become a cringe inducing experience.
I believe I have the backing of the community to ask for some form of matchmaking for open crews.
LFG's (on X-box) are a bit of a joke and a headache.
Discord groups are more selective and not conducive for X-Box players.
I believe you could add general matchmaking options.
-By faction levels: 1-25 and 26-50
-Mic or No Mic
-Meters sailed
-Chests turned in
-Voyages complete
… and just like your cross play option, a noob or two may trickle into a crew based on who is available.
This doesn't create exclusion with-in the Open crew matchmaking. People still have noob friends that they will invite and Noobs will still seep into crews of more established players. This will stop the hemorrhaging of your player base (from one area)
Over all I feel crews made nearly of the same caliber of members will make the gameplay a more welcoming and enjoyable experience and will leave LFG's for more specific things.
