General feedback from recent update

@lem0n-curry I was a bit more left on the map but was aiming for Ruby's fall/Morrow's Peak out post, its the area I used to go to but now it seems nearly impossible to get there I think I started on ancient spires...

As someone who isn't very skilled in gaming overall, I have enjoyed safer seas as it matches my skill level better.

You think playing safer seas would give you a reduction in skeleton and Meg spawns??

The spawns seem to be off again. I have been getting 2 skeleton ships spawn at me at the same time again. That shouldn't be happening. That old bug seems te have resurfaced again.

@soloventure6142 wow that's great advice thank you! I'll work on those things

@elmo6842 Oh thats wonderful! I will try that! Thank you ☺️

@super87ghost It did seem like there were more being spawned in than what it used to, I wouldn't normally get ambushed that much

not saying this in a mean way.... but just uninstall? hear me out...

you seem to be similar to myself. you enjoy the pve element of the game. you dislike pvp. you login to complete some tasks but every time you leave an island you get unwanted pve spawns that are just adding speed bumps to your progress. easyish to deal with MOST of the time... but every so often the game will decided to spawn a random skeleton galleon on a solo sloop (no not part of the fleet event. just either a low chance of happening OR a bug from when skeleton galleons were the only skeleton ship? the addition of the smuggler skeleton ships full of useless loot no one wants. if you are working on skeleton ship commendation after getting pirate legend this skeleton ship frequency is kind of amazing. but as you said you play safer seas pirate legend is out of reach.

if they are going to unlock everything in safer seas, which they are dead set on not making it better, then the bottom line is we arent the type of player they want in their game. which i guess is fine if they dont like to keep more potential cash shop customers around... they have lost millions already because of it. but their vision for the game is stronger than their drive for profit.. honestly commendable in a way? or they dont realize how much they are hurting themselves with this mentality.

sadly with only 1 ship on the server the pve elements only have 1 choice for attacking so you get ALL the spawns. the 2 skeleton ship issue might be lack of experience on your part? if you see a ship cloud up in the sky that is a world even where you fight waves of skeleton ships so when that cloud is up, avoid the center of the map.

i love the art of this game, i love the world, the pve. the fact servers still run like garbage hurts the experience. their focus the wrong things and going full OCD mode on stuff no one actually cares about that has more a negative impact on player moral than anything else. IE the doubloon issue. literally no one cared. add the items so we finally had something to spend the money on. instead they swing the problem in the total opposite direction.... the screw up the reset and decide they should punish the few people who managed to keep their doubloons and could buy all the things right away.

as theres literally no progression aside from gold farming in safer seas and gold is useless af.... lets just go find something better to play?

@super87ghost if there is legit 2 skeleton ships spawning together or back to back i would blame the OG skeleton ships and smuggler skeleton ships being different. also if you are near the smuggler router that ship will always be up or if it sinks for some reason it will respawn again fairly quick 5-10 minutes. smuggler ships need to go. period.

@quitespace1450 I do agree partly, I feel the IDEA of safer seas, should be more focused on less Pvp and less attacking more 'chilling' and 'collecting' slowly so to speak. I understand bugs are a given in a lot of games, but the '2-skeleton-plus- megladon' situation is a bit over kill for an area of those who are learning to play before getting into the big lobby's...

@quitespace1450 Non of those 3 times it happened last week it was close to the smuggler's route. First time was close to Galleon's Grave, 2nd time was close to Barnacle's Cay and the 3rd time was around Cinder Islet. So all far away from the Smuggler's route.
