Hi all

I recently picked this game up with three of my pals and we are enjoying the little voyages so far. Looking for the burried treasure, fighting off some skeletons and even some sea warfare (only fougt PVE so far).

I was just wondering, is this it? There is no weapon/character progression apart from the skins from what I can tell. We have not seen a single player run ship out in the sea (saw some twice in a port) so we are wondering is this just a very repetitive PVE? Can't be since this game is going strong since 2018

Thanks

P.S. I play on the High Seas

The only progression is cosmetics. You'll likely run into more players if you go to the world events. Look for big clouds shaped like a skull or ships. Only one at a time I believe and will be there until a crew clears it. Sometimes it'll feel like an empty server and others you'll get a lot of PVP action.

I haven't played for a while and don't know if safer seas affected high seas players since there were a lot of players mad about the safer seas being added. I always assumed it was players who liked hitting soft PVP targets.

If you really want to have random PVP encounters become an emissary for one of the factions other than reapers. I'd suggest gold hoarders. Any level 5 reaper emissary will be able to see your ship on the map while flying the emissary flag. You'll become bait for them to hunt down.

Also there's the hourglass to do PVP.

What's the hourglass?

Look on the captain's table. There should be an hour glass. You can pick which side you want to fight on. It's basically PVP matchmaking. It can take a while finding a match.
