So this has been bugging me since the launch in December, Small, Medium, And Large Handling Sails are all BACKWARDS on every ship in the game, the animations for the sails are also backwards so when you have your sails fully into the wind your speed sail is blowing fowards but your handling sail is blowing backwards which realistically would me your ship isn't going to move. Will be be seeing any small content patch in the near future where you finally rotate the sails 180 degrees so that they're snapping onto ships correctly? For example this is what my sloop looked like while sailing it from a freeport with a small speed and handling sail on it.

The reason is because the Handling sails are literally backwards on all of ships hopefully they fix that problem because it looks so bad when you have wind in the sails and they're blowing the opposite direction of where you're actually being pushed by the wind.

The easiest answer is to straight up remove the ability to offline raid, the company i'm in in J13 has lost a galleon that we had to babysit for 2 months straight because the top 3 guilds on NA Krakenmaw constantly every single night would come in and barrel our ships, this is one of the 3 companies with 100+ people coming in and raiding a company of only 30, our company barely manages to keep 20 people on per day because people have gotten tired of being raided 24/7 by these large companies who are openly duping resources, blueprints, gold, and ship parts and BRAG ABOUT IT on twitch, one of the people doing it literally had a dev in their channel watching them do the duping and have had nothing happen to them. Companies like mine are sitting in our bases playing legit with dwindling players while these large companies freely cheat their way to ruling the game, and I hate it because we went from being a game with 50,000 people per day to 1 month later being a game with only 11,000 players across all official and unofficial game servers. Jat and the rest of the dev team need to focus on wiping the entire official world servers and using that wipe to instantly and easily catch the duping players and banning them en-mass I've stopped playing the game as of 2 nights ago when my company lost our galleon that we had over 200 pvp kills to a douchebag in a large company glitching firejars and fire arrows onto a ship from in the ocean and sinking the gally before returning 12hrs later with a zerg of 150 people who proceeded to server lock our zone causing crashes and rollbacks every 10 minutes for 14 hours which thankfully ended in our 30man alliance fighting off the 150 man crew. Not a single part of that experience was fun nor was it something I wish to experience. This isn't ARK SURVIVAL EVOLVED but the developers are treating this like a HARDCORE SURVIVAL SIM which this was never advertised as, it was advertised to us as a fucking 40,000 player per server pirate themed MMO where we could go into towns filled with AI, fight mythical monsters and other players on the open seas on ships that we built. Instead we get ARK where we grind for days on end to build a ship, have a cheating company come by when we're sleeping, delete our ships and steal our small plot of land in a few minutes by glitching flags and forcing all of us who play legit to respawn in a freeport and start the entire nightmare over again. And if you actually manage to join a company you get to enjoy being told what you can build, how you can build it, and being told you're never allowed to touch the resources in the resource chest of the base because those 6 different materials you spent week after week farming nonstop are only allowed to be used by the admins to make their own personal battleships with personal medium, large, swivel cannons with masterwork decks and sails. And you're never allowed to leave the base because youre now the the company slave, your job is to farm all day, sit in a tower guarding their ship, and if a tame or ship gets sunk while you're taking a piss or getting something to eat you get to enjoy hearing them scream at you that it all your fault and if you ever do it again you're kicked out of the company. All of this had made me not want to play the game anymore after 553 hours of gameplay. And in all reality the devs don't care because if they did care CSTG, No No No! SoV would all have been banned from the game for being dupers, hackers, racists, and griefers using exploits to put barrels inside ships to blow them up. But instead anytime anyone ever complains on the reddit or these forums the posts and threads are instantly deleted which tells me I should have gotten a refund on the game the night it came out because I cannot support a company that doesn't honor it's Terms of service.

In my companies main base in J13 I went from being 15fps to 25fps and the games a lot smoother feeling on my GTX1070 at max everything 1080p Open sea sees no major changes other than 70fps being 80fps now
