View distance of ships on the ocean

Recommended Posts

Hi team,

I feel that the view distance for ships on the ocean is far too short. In reality, masts and even SotD pennants would be visible for miles. In-game however, they appear about 4 or 5 galleon lengths away. The ships in the image below are at the extreme distance. A galleon just winked out of view. If a wolf pack appears directly in front of you, as has happened many times for me, my galleon has no opportunity to evade and must hope to simply weather the assault. I get that the proximity adds some challenge but I feel it's unreasonably challenging at this time.

I'm lucky that this hasn't happened when I've been running 6 kts under shitty winds, but it'll happen sooner or later and it's likely that I'll rage quit at having lost an expensive ship and all her cargo to a poorly-designed game mechanic.

It would be just peachy if you'd double or triple the ship render distance, perhaps just for ships of the damned, or perhaps just on the PVE servers.

Cheers
