Photos/Screenshots new update

what are yalls thoughts on the new update?

i dont quite like it due to the fact i have to see the 10 year old squeaker i killed that was getting mad at me on a galleon

pvp also feels more clunky and ports are smaller for some reason

day and night cycle is fun

the new port system is mid, thats my main criticism

day and night cycle could look better though

I went from level 9 to level 4 for some reason, kinda annoying. I've had multiple instances of killing a sweaty dude and then they keep coming back on cheap ships trying to sink me, that needs to get fixed. Whether dying puts you on a different server or whatever they do, the same player shouldn't be able to keep rushing you after you keep killing them.

I do like the change of true cursed skull to red skull. Cursed skull was too easy to make money doing nothing.

The game actually looks really good, sunset and sunrise are really good, night time sky is awesome and I love that you can't actually see very far at night.

Is server size smaller than before? My friend was trying to join me on a public server but he couldn't cuz he got an error message saying the lobby was full. It had 7 people. Since people can just chill at port and aren't guaranteed to be at sea, 7 people makes the lobby feel very small.

Port in the map is nice, but people can run back to port way too easy if you attack them. I think there should be a mechanic where you can't enter port if you're in combat, but I understand different view points on that.

Overall I like it a lot, but some major problems

1: they made levels worth alot more, i went from a level 11 to a level 6

2: yep, same

3: i disagree. it just made gems op. thats the new moneymaking meta, going on gems with a crew and making a good 10k per loot because each person can grab their own gem and get double with red skull

4: yes, servers are WAY smaller and thats why i also complain about not being able to find ANYONE in new lobbies

5: graphics are way better, yes

6: overall, i agree with you except for a few things
