I am for increasing ship sailing speed, if only adding that as an option to server setting. To be clear: My friends and I can't play MMO. We tried the PVE server. We have real life obligations and sometimes can't play for weeks. We come back to nothing and everything dead. We only have a couple of hours a night to play when we do. It takes an average of 20 minutes to cross a single zone in a brigantine with almost nothing on it, which, incidentally, takes a long time to build even with maxed harvest settings. That's 40 minutes of doing nothing but sailing just to go one adjacent grid to get salt and back. There's no one to trade with for food or exotic materials. Carry everything on your boat you say? That eliminates the point of being able to build a base and makes sailing EVEN SLOWER. Sailing is incredibly boring and pointless. Someone has to watch for SOD and cyclones while the other members literally play other games IAW. It is like watching a movie, except one where nothing happens. Single player is pretty terrible already in that we don't get all the discovery zones, the NPC pirates are glitchy and broken, and frankly, the entire game is set up for a company of 40 to play. And I don't want to hear anything from people who can dedicate 12 hours a day to a video game that 'them's the breaks, play MMO or go home'. Why even have a single player option if the game can't be realistically played that way? Do the developers want our money too? Apparently. We recently took our own poll and have decided we will likely be quitting this game soon, never to come back, and recommend to anyone we know not to buy this game unless they have nothing else to do with their lives but watch water evaporate.

If we die enough times and keep attacking them we can kill all the pirates outside of the enemy camp, but can never take it over because there are always about 3 guys locked inside buildings. We don't appear to be able to do any damage to the buildings. And a lvl 3 pirate sloop blew our schooner out of the water. Does anyone have any suggestions for us? We are only 2 people playing co-op.

PVE. New islands look really cool but, 1) Every new island has an issue where the map is inaccurate. Attached pictures. Boat is nowhere near island, but map shows my ship as being deep inland, like, actually on land. Visited about 5 of them. All the same problem. 2) Not sure if this is intentional, but there are no food resources on these islands. No berries, herbs, etc.

PVE Have same problem. Can place ceilings above the water and the first pillar under the ceiling but cannot place another pillar beneath it. Problem in several areas. Searched ocean floor in a wide area around it and there are no enemy foundations or gates.

New to the game, on PVE. Have a small company with no hope of owning anything because everything under 50 is already owned. Relying on building without owning. Found an awesome island with a natural fortress and jute plantation, buildable, but a high amount of points (over 100) so likely no one will ever own it or even try, cool place to build. Some jerks named 'moist cloacas' put foundations strategically placed all over the entire fortress so no one can ever build there, and they don't have a settlement on the island or anything, just didn't want anyone else to be able to enjoy it. Still 8 days on the clock before demolish. They'll probably return and replace. Ruins islands. Hope something changes.
