Yeah I had an OLED picked out ready when we built our house, but the prices here in DE added to extra costs lifting the foundations cost us that particular dream. We bought decent but unremarkable TV’s to keep us going, but the dream still lives.
It doesn’t seem like a lot of “extra” while you’re levelling it either, Destinys battle pass “appears” to be worth it since there are a lot of extra things here and there.
It is possible, but its not as much fun, and it’s not that its much more difficult, but its really inefficient and tedious to “progress” alone. When i play solo, its to enjoy the world and maybe grab a few rewards here and there. A sloop alone is almost too much work to have fun doing that and quests.
Gorgeous though.
[edit] dont let that stop you trying though, theres a cool “Maiden Voyage” tutorial which (if you find everything) net you some starting money towards some cosmetics, and does a great job explaining everything. And you can get to grips with the mechanics on your own, but sailing, keeping an eye on the horizon and exploring islands completing quests is tricker alone.
Been playing a bit the past few days. The season pass really gives a feeling of progression that was much needed, I’m a fan!
I still don’t enjoy the PvP though… Nothing more boring than being in the middle of a quest, and have your ship sunk, and then smacktalked. We had great fun until then, discovering new things thanks to the trials. Immersion completely broken by the griefers. (Yes, griefers. Not much “piracy” or “thieving” involved in sinking an empty ship and calling you names in local)
Turned everyone off after that with comments like “it’s still the same” etc. No one wants to play now, so back to solo fishing I guess
Yep, I still hate it, hated the idea of it, in alpha, in beta, at launch, and now.
If you get a good crew or some people who want to RP some comedy pirates then it can be immense fun, with some back and forth and banter, but in my experience those times are few and far between and otherwise it just puts me right off, especially if I only half a half hour or so and fancy running a quick solo quest and end up avoiding people for that time and getting nowhere.
I would pay them money for private servers. Actual real money.
