The Man o' war

If they ever do add in larger ships for larger crews, I think they need to add proximity chat into the crews so people don't talk over each other all the time. Four people isn't that bad but 6+ players and you'll have multiple conversations going on at once. This could make the megaphone useful on islands and maybe have it where all crew members hear the bell of the ship.

Yeah I didn't often have a problem with conflicting schedules until A Pirate's Life... Now every time I try to play it's a scheduling nightmare trying to figure out how it all will fit... We're not required to complete the tall tales 5 times but I definitely will just by trying to play with everyone.
It can be so exhausting to get everything together because we all want to do the same thing, then one person has to cancel because that's how life works, and now we can't do the tale because that one person's gone.
Now I'm done with the tales with 80% of my close friends... but there's still that 20% to think about.

I'd like a Man O' War but it would be quite a thing to balance... realistically it's going to be hard to get a well-oiled group of 6, especially since the max crew has been 4 for 3 years... and we can talk manueverability all we want, It's still going to be hard to avoid if the MoW crew wants the same world event as you...

"That doesn’t mean Rare will never introduce an option for players to start the game with a fleet, or a six-person ship. But it’ll take a lot of work on the part of Rare, and there are no updates on the horizon. Right now, players will have to get used to either playing with three of their buds, or chasing down ships on the horizon to create their own fleet." - Polygon

SO, TECHNICALLY, Rare thinks that server hopping and alliance server creating is of MORE WORTH, because they're not wanting to put the work into ship-size changes into the game.

We've gotten our update of content, and it doesn't matter how much work it is to implement a new ship. What matters is the desire of the players for a whole crew. - Yes, a galleon nowadays is rare'^'? (because the people who want to play it are all gone now). However, remember that Rare wanted to build the Galleon game first! It was first about the big bad ships doing battle for the few treasures they could steal.

When they made the sloop manageable to play for solos, the game was about "how good can a solo player be?" - And then the game became, "How sneaky can the sloop crew tuck?" - And then the game became, "How insanely loaded with treasure and the skulls of their enemies can the brigantine be?"
The vision and path toward a BIG ship was clouded, muddied, and then spat upon for reasons of "balance, irl scheduling, and lack of interest." And I'm really disappointed.

< In effect: You don't hear how awesome the galleon is, or how much treasure the collect. Because the content creators and streamers don't play on that ship nearly enough. Which is a DARN SHAME!! Imagine a bunch of Twitch Partners just... sailing the galleon with three people because they're not min-maxing and saying how good the galleon is to enjoy. - Would probably see a new ship or an increase to crew capacities much faster.

Man if I had a dollar for every Man O War thread on this forum over the last few years.

Cue the conversation around balancing servers, etc.

@hijack-hayes I figured there would be a pinned thread by now stating
Please do not create topics about the following threads as they have already been discussed and beaten like a dead horse
Man'o'war
Hit Reg complaining
Arctic Zone
Update the Arena
PvE servers
Fix Daggertooth
New Content (fixed)
Buying cargo crates (fixed)
etc.. so people stop posting. I genuinely like this board and some of the great ideas on here but every week these topics get brought up like it's a new idea, lol

@awsmstaccntname You got them all except something about someone saying the game is dying, literally every single week.

@awsmstaccntname
I hardly see any topics started about Daggertooth though :).
