Sucks real benefit come from being is a large group, if they put anymore dino type thing in it I will bail maybe as I did not like ARK for that cornny for that. But hey where are the other fun pirate games out there? There isn't any like the mass size of this. You could play Ylands...I'd never let anyone know or I would be playing with my 6 year old son wait now he's 10. You can suggest things on their forums but they either get inundated with good and bad suggestions or they only read the bad suggestion. They need to put some Greek mechanical things in like old Clash of the Titians' the Owl was the best!

As a single player just have a fast story and how to survive aboard ship if...
I left the edge of one map to another with my ship (schooner), to right into the middle of 4 Ships of the Damned my schooner is unarmed so I pointed for the best wind and way out kept my head (not true screamed I QUIT I QUIT!) when my schooner got free from the seeming/never/ending bombing or her tail I pointed to the nearest island in site and went down below to find calmly (not true still yelling UNFAIR UNFAIR!) 3 ship panels have been blown off and water up to my wast I calmly went through thoughts, should I scuttle her and comeback and salvage? Yes, that is what I'll do, but I have to buy more time and get closer to land. But how can I do that? OH!, my bucket it's in the smithy, I raced to the smithy to find it, my bucket was not there!
So, I had to make another one fast, but there is not enough materials SH1T! The chest, found paste and made the bucket in the smithy, by this time only my head was above the water I made the bucket and started bailing double left click get more water, right click trows it overboard. water in the bilge is now swim able crap! CRAP!, land is still to far off I am miles away BAIL, BAIL,BAIL,BAIL,BAIL,BAIL,BAIL, bail ~the water is going down even though I still have 3 panels missing... keep bailing bail,bail,bail,bail,bail,bail ~the ship stopped? It did!, I am saved I made it to shore and can I anchor yes! I anchored the ship bailed more water till it was down to about an inch, then I have a bear on board took him to the nearest fiber and cut trees fast! Got back to the ship (always in sight) not much more water was in it (due to being anchored). Made 5 ship panels in the smithy and placed them the water was getting up to knee high again still leaking a bit with water while the panels nit in bailed a little and all good!
All the water drained out and looked at the island I landed on.

Things I think helped me most putting points into sink/rate and the bucket and a way to get to the bilge easily. I ended up landing on a freeport island I found and I can only assume that the SOTD's were glitched into the server grid because it's not normal for them to be in a freeport grid.

I am changing my thumb down to a thumb UP!
They have added Blackwood map (hope More Maps?), and the ability to have or host your own server and what this does is give you the ability to modify the game (MODS!). Blackwood a rather small map and HAS a boundry so don't fall asleep or your ship bangs into the wall and you loose it and have to play pickup. I still want the MMO to do very good because the map feels endless and gives you many places to go to get things you need to play. But because they seemingly are very slow to make the game from good to great this works better for me cause I can configure and mod the game to my liking for now till they get their heads out of their butts.

The Mega update is BAD! 4/20/2019 on PvE!
They made a claim system like PvP and as a single player it's impossible to get an island. They added more islands but made it a point sys, per group size and you end up getting ppl already owning island going off to claim the 15 point islands then you end up arguing over who should get the island with no recourse to whom should get the island. The frame rates have gotten better but that could be because a lot less ppl play it. A am done until they make another fix on this problem I was an optimist too but I am at the short end of the stick.

Added:
March 19th 2019 The 20th is supposed to be a big update they are adding 200+ islands so claimable land if not said it should be less a problem the croc issues are solved and they are still the C.O.U.Ss' (Crocs of unusual Sizes), but playable. They seem to fix things promptly as they know they have a diamond in the rough. Ships and animals I hope they fix soon with upcoming update, the problem there is every time the server(s) restart some animals end up odd places. The bear gets picked on the most ending up in the ship decks somewhere. Sometimes boarding it has gone straight down into the water/map and died. Chickens end up sometimes floating outside the ship and I have seen crew do that to. You get a tip of this when your base managing at the top of your screen you'll get a message that a, "crew member has died".

Still, over all it will be a good game I have decided to sit out while they do this next massive update. I am going back to it cause it is over all despite the things I have side over all the bugs it's a playable game you just have to take steps to not loose things like putting stuff away when your done, (where have I heard that before?).


<<<<OLD>>>>

It will be a great feat of enginerding when this gets dialed in.

For now, it's a sorta playable cobble of server time outs and syncing issues.

When it is working and what we 2 - 3 people have done.
Built a small house, 3 ships lost 2 because of very poor game balance problems, the crocodiles are also TOO BIG TOO BIG! They will attack and kill your AI crew if you puschase any, the crocs also eat your diving bell/crane if one touch. SOTD! (ship of the Damned) are too many spawned and you would be largly out gunned. Tresure maps, we have tried many times to locate a tresure and crocs see you out at sea and great you with a smile of "spawn again".

What interested me was map size, 15x15=225 map/squares each are one server to it's more like a world than a map.
So, I am going to hold slightly to optimism and hope they get this good idea going.
But for now, buying it? well it's cheap for the moment, there's only a thump up or down.
