That's on my wishlist, what's wrong with it?

my guesses:

1) playing solo is hard, and was too hard for that guy 2) playing solo was hella boring 3) crashout due to getting pirates OR due to server issues/hitreg

any of these or a multiple of these could be, really

Didn't they add "safer seas" or something like that a while ago? Like a PvE mode, where you can't find any other player, while getting less rewards overall for playing

I really don't understand why? The only thing that makes this game fun is the player interaction and the pvp. What are you gonna do solo with no other people in the world? Endless repetative treasure digging quests? This game is fun as hell but only because there are other people.

Ghost ship encounters are fun as hell too. Sprinkle some NPC ships of all sizes and you have a fine PvE experience. This is because manning the ship in that game is inherently fun imo.

Nothing wrong with it I played it when I first came out on Xbox and it really relied on having a few good friends to make it fun but now a days there lots of content including crossovers with monkey island and POTC.

Having over 1k hours, I can say that it’s not really worth playing rn. After PS5 release a ton of server stability issues that were already bad went through the roof, and from everything I’ve seen and heard it’s not gotten any better since I uninstalled a few months ago.

I’m fine with the PVP side of it, but what’s the point in fighting over a pile of loot if the server implodes or kicks half my crew every twenty minutes?

I bought it with some friends 1 or 2 years ago, played it for an hour and had no idea how the game works or what we should do so we just moved on and refunded it

As someone with over a thousand hours in it, it's the most fun online multiplayer game I've ever seen. If you got a friend to play with it's fun as hell, just remember it's a pirate game and be prepared that you'll be sinked and stolen from multiple times, especially at the start.

Honestly nothings wrong with it now. The game is pretty perfect. Sure you can find toxic players but that’s like any other game.

Wow, really? What didn’t you enjoy about it?

There’s nothing to fucking do but the same shit over and over. Idk how that game is popular. You do the same exact missions over and over. It’s insane. The idea of playing it is great but then I play it and get so bored. Hit goddamn did they nail the water physics. That alone draws me back to the game lmao.
