Can't wait. Don't even care if there's some kind of progression or events they keep out of pve mode. I just wanna sail and fight skeletons in peace.

Haha I'm the same way. So many of the vocal players say "it's a PVP game, there's not supposed to be anywhere safe!" But yeah, I just really like the sailing mechanics, the exploration of diving to sunken ships, sailing in storms and hunting megaladons. Getting stomped by some hardcore players while in the middle of an adventure was never fun to me.

It wouldn't be such a problem if PVP weren't so insanely janky. It feels like there's no feedback and most of the skill in combat is rushing the other crew before they know what's going on and getting used to how laggy the blunderbuss is.

That will be nice. The last time I tried to play a group of people came up and sank my ship while I was in a port town selling stuff. I just turned the game off and never went back.

Ya... That's how it goes lol. It's definitely enough to put you off the game for a long time.

Personally, the sailing and fishing brings me back from time to time. When you're on a chill server, it's really nice and peaceful to just sail along the open ocean.

I read that as "long awaited pirate servers" until like half way through the article hoping someone would explain 😅😅😅 oof
