I'm returning as a hopeful yet disgruntled player after the barrel bombs from cannons - I was happy once this was reverted, but further aggravated by the gold for ships. I've grown to accept this system to an extent - but certainly think it needs tweaking. (Schooners in particular should be more around the 1500 range).
But what I'm posting for today, is the plethora of bugs. I'd like to keep pushing these off to the bug report form, but it's simply out of control. This makes me think there's a systemic issue with the QA / unit testing that goes into these patches.
Sextant HUD Compass disappears on zoning, while there is still plenty of time remaining on the Sextant buff. The other info from the enhanced HUD is there, just not the compass.
Crew members are asking for 23 ish gold every two to three real-time hours (at the 'at-sea' rate), this is with the second level of the skill that slows the crew's request frequency.
Sunken Treasure chests which appear on the map after acquiring the Sextant buff, are only valid 50% of the time. I do not believe this is due to other players reaching the sunken treasure first. One assumes that these refresh upon acquiring the buff, or upon zoning with the buff active.
Rope ladders 'demolish' on cliff platforms, when manipulating structural elements elsewhere on the platform (elements that the rope ladders do not rely on). This occurs if demolishing, or if picking up before a placement timer expires.
Sloop turn radius seems broken. Perhaps other ships as well, haven't tested yet. It seems that I now need to almost come to a complete stop and pivot the ship, if I want to turn even more than 3 degrees on a trajectory.
Gather rate on sugar cane is abysmal. There is virtually no difference in the rate whether using hand, scythe, or having max points into hand gathering skill.
Owning a sea tower / control point in peace phase, makes a company's ships in grid invincible. (Forgot this one earlier as I haven't experienced it. Others in company and grid are aware of the bug)
Y'all are in an 'ok' place as far as the newer mechanics. I know some of the community is hopeful here. Please now prioritize fixing issues, before breaking new ones. Thanks.
