I have many suggestions / questions.
Will you consider wiping and merging the servers (PVE/PVP/EU/NA)
A wipe without changes to the core game mechanics would be only short lived though, there are many reasons ive watched people leave this game and not return.
- Peace time set by company not by island to stop people staggering peace times across multiple islands to always stay in peace.
- No changing of peace times except immediately after claiming.
- Stop restricting the amount of people you can play with, remove company and alliance limits.
- Larger the company / Larger the war time
- Smaller the company / smaller the war time
- Neutral tags
- No shelter in ally harbours, green anchor and their defences should be enough.
- Cool-down on rejoining a company you have already been a member of.
- Seated NPCs not counting towards tame cap (something promised at first wipe announcement)
- Structure limit around flag proximity to stop honeycomb rat nest flag protection.
- More boat types / customisation options / skins for planks, walls, ceilings, roofs, doors, etc
- With the amount of islands added, reduce the grid size to something around a 10x10 (Accept the fact you will NEVER have 40,000 people play on a server)
- Free port placement more uniform (Equal distance between them)
- You currently have 3 zones Freeport, Claimed, and Lawless. Suggest adding a "Lawful" zone. That is sort of like a half way for new players after leaving freeport.
- Damage and resistance on boats is too over powered when people can put all points into one stat. Make it scaling so after a certain amount of points go into damage or resistance the amount of extra damage or resist you receive is smaller.
- Remove Red-alert and return it to when we could swap crew on the fly to different stations, allowing a skill based system of moving your crew from one side of the ship to the other.
- Dont hide PVP feats behind PVE content.
- Make it easier for the small companies to do the content you add (Yeti / Kraken / Powerstones)
- More governance and tax options
I could go on, but answers and hearing opinions on these ideas would be a good start.
