Matchmaking/Looking For Group

[Greyleaf 51]

The game needs some sort of matchmaking system similar to Warcraft's LFG (looking for group). Players could play solo, but when they wanted (or needed) to group up for things like the Kraken, they could. Just do an in game search for people that are looking to do the same task and you will be put in a temporary group to achieve that task. You would be playing with randoms, but it would also be an opportunity to meet decent players and possibly find a good company to join. I'm sure you have at least one Warcraft player on your development team...just ask them how it works exactly....I won't be able to explain it properly.

Yeah because you will be willing to wait 4 hours to do the Kraken because John Q Chucklenuts has signed up but is nowhere in the area, thanks but no thanks, those systems only work because of teleportation to zones is a thing.

There's no reason why they couldn't add in teleporting people to the same location. That would be part of the system.

Except that it is totally against everything in a sailing survival game to teleport a ship full of people across the map.

if there was an instance based system that you could only go into on foot then maybe but other than that, never gonna happen. But then your ship is left where ever you happened to be at the time, at the mercy of the sotd, or your tame is left there at the mercy of alpha cobras etc.

You could be teleported back to your original position after the task is done. Before dismissing ideas, it would be helpful to try and figure out how it COULD work.
