With the March update technically being the 2nd anniversary, year 3 of SoT is nigh upon us! It doesn’t feel like it’s been 2 years but wow how far this game has come! Initially the cries of the crews were for more and more content, and rightfully so. Because if this the game has never been more rich and deep than it ever has been with more clearly on the horizon! But the winds have begun to change, and the cries heard from the depths of the seas have changed their tune. The game needs some polish. The barnacles need scraping off. To accomplish this I recommend we switch to bi-monthly content updates. With the time spent in between focused on big repair. Fact is each new update brings a new slew of bugs, and the old bugs thrive for months before getting attention. But extending the time between content would allow each update to feel richer in what it brings, as well as ensuring its thoroughly tested well before it drops to minimize its breakability. And the off time being used for smaller, even semi-weekly updates to fix the many issues we’ve seen as well as look at balancing, would improve the experience greatly for all crews.
TL:DR - going forward release new content only every other month, with the months in between focusing on balancing and bug fixing
