I go AFK sleeping on my ship for and get kicked off for inactivity within ~5 mins (Lazybeard) even though my character was sleeping. I'm relatively new but I thought this usually kept me on for at least like 10 mins? Instead, at some point, my character just stands up and subsequently gets kicked (and I can't rejoin the session!).
Either way, for a AAA game it's [mod edit] how short these timers are (as well as the timer for treasures to sink/despawn). I can't even pause to take a [mod edit] anymore.
What's the rush? Is it really necessary for the timers to be so short? It unnecessarily distracts from the immersion (and decreases accessibility to the game) for treasure to disappear so unreasonably quickly.
Last thing... to be kicked off for connection problems while unloading a rowboat solo means that all your stuff is gone when you rejoin the session. Does that make sense to you?
(this happens to me so often it makes the game nearly unplayable!)
PS: sword combat sucks too; do better!
