1. Bring back the ability to do solo missions. There is no justification for its omission in this patch. Grinded away to be able to fit guns on the Surprise and when I was ready to go kick some ass, it seems I can only do fleet missions which do not fit my play style at all. If I wanted to team up with people I would play on the PVP servers.
2. Fix the availability marker on the trading tool. 3 ports showed having an item available and they were sold out. Hours and hours of sailing for nothing. BAD
3. SHIP SHADOWS ON WATER. It's 2017 for typing out loud! Also lit windows reflecting on water in OW for your ship would be lovely. All other ships have it except yours. I'm pretty sure it won't kill the performance to turn that option on (for one more ship on the screen).
4. Simplify the repair system, or lower the costs for repair items.
5 I have not felt the sting of losing a ship post wipe yet, but I agree that cannons are too damned expensive.
6. Make nights a bit longer. Seriously, I want a chance to enjoy that pretty night skybox. I'm sure your artists worked hard on it. It'll make sunsets and sunrises more appreciated.
Other than that, good job! Your attempts to make me want to uninstall the game have not yet succeeded.
Keep up the good work!
