Huck Finn

Understood, however, as I said in the OP. I have no stat points to distribute, nor skill points.

Logged in today, my skills have been reset and I am level 50 with no stat points or skills points available. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Yah so like finally I got through right and I spawn on my ship and "I" am sailing it at the wheel with about 5 more of my bodies laying around sleeping. Now everytime I die I take over one of the other bodies and I leave no loot behind. I thought after I killed off all the bodies I would be fine, however not the case. Now when I die my body instantly disappears and I leave no loot behind. Normally who cares, but I just sailed for 6 hours to get wheat grass to tame so fucking elephants and now everytime I screw up taming I die and lose 100 wheat.

Gonna assume I have lost another brig to some buggy bullshit,, My ship is stuck going back and forth between o12 and a12 in an infinite loop.

Not sure whats going on here but I got dc'd crossing a server line, everytime I log back in it says my character is currently traveling to a new zone and disconnects me. One time I connected and literally saw 4-5 of my other bodies walking around my ship.

Well I think it depends on the ship to be fair when it comes to oars. Many times people would be put out in front of the boat in dinghy's tied off to the ship and they would pull it by rowing. That being big ships of the past used oars was well.

The more seasoned captain will still be able to outperform the novice. This is more quality of life change and to be fair I think there was probably better ways to do it, but perhaps this was the easiest and things will change again in the future. Either or I have sailed half the map quite literally in my brig at this point, battled and sunk dozens of SoD without issue. Just because they add some wind to people who are struggling, I don't think it's going to be enough to where my experience will be overshadowed by the game being made easier on the novice sailor here.

I mean 3/4 of the people here are talking about sailing like they are some modern day Christopher Columbus. Just because you have taken your dads dingy out to the local lake doesn't mean you are some ship captain with some higher education. I know nothing of ships and even I can figure out if I turn my ship and sails slightly one direction the sails turn green and it means I go fast. I can sail against the wind at different angles to get myself where I need to be. It isn't some hard or super secret thing to figure out. All that being said. I think most people are forgetting one of the biggest issues with sailing in this game is lack of momentum on the ships. If you get your sails slightly out of the wind when turning it stops like you have pulled some emergency brake or dropped the anchor in the mud. I will welcome this change not because of the enhanced travel speed so much as it will allow you to maneuver your ship in combat a bit easier, you won't come to some ridiculous dead stop when changing your ships heading abruptly. Even if it is a band aid to ships no9t having realistic momentum I welcome it.
